I am an experienced indoor grower, who recently obtained my medical permit in WA state. I have never grown outdoors and want to give it a try this season. I was planning on building planter boxes in my back yard. The dimensions I have proposed are 4'x8'x16". I was planning on building 2 boxes.

My questions are whether boxes (with multiple plants in each) are the best container for outdoor growing? If so How should I space the plants? How much room do they need? Is 16" deep, too deep, or shallow? Where should I get my soil from? I was planning on ordering Matanuska TF from greenthumb seeds. Would you recommend or not recommend this strain?

Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THX
