Do you have a water source nearby or are you running irrigation? Takes a lot to water 150 to 275 gallons of soil! I too am contemplating some outdoor Jack Herrer. Always wanted to years ago, going to make it happen this year if I find the right place.

Ideally over 10-15lbs total. Its close enough to a water source and we usually get a good amount of rain here too.

around 100 to 150 wet or so
problem is a 15 gallon pot can get small fast outside
close water is nice 
watering three times a day even if it is close can suck ass ;(
if the pot is black or breaths well it will dry out faster
in the wind or sun
all things to keep in mind

EDIT
rain does not water pots well at all unless you plan on it
27 gallon plastic totes from HomeDepot with holes cut in drainage
it could rain all day and you would still need to water your plants
just not so much
peace D.

What is humidity like? BB are chunky solid and where I am very prone to bud rot… but it’s nearly 100% humidity here a lot of the time…

great point outside it is hard to control
pots can be nice if they can be moved
you can put them in for the night and out for the day
be safe

It does get pretty hot and humid here during the summer. 90+ degrees and around 80% humidity.

what about aerial traffic?
i say skip the soil amendment; if there’s a forest there it has everything it already needs, IMO.

Shit if ya got undisturbed land to plant on give your native soil a chance you might actually be surprised also what it can do (no/till) plus it would be a hell of lot less worrying about water needs Mulch it up good with local leaves and your good to go!

can always dig a hole and fill it with goodies
plants do love the ground
I found it easier this year to work in the ground
but pots are great if you need move them without killing them
all the best and enjoy the day

The problem with digging is i have diabeetus and a seizure disorder. Falling out in the woods is a bad idea for me.

Brother use the ground you got. It may be just timber soil but plant directly into it and u will be fine. Especially since u want a lb per plant and u have medical conditions. I would also recommend some concentrated organic ferts. You should be able to grow some trees with respectable smoke!

In 15 gallon pots you will not get a pound per plant. Secondly, with that humidity during bud you must pick your strains wisely. Sativa or sativa dominant hybrids are the only strains that stand a chance. Any strain with really dense buds will rot. Also keep in mind you will need to cage or stake all of your pots. And then there is sunlight hours. Be sure to check your area several times per day to make sure your plants will stay in optimal sunlight. South facing is obviously best

truth to that
I had 12 in 27 gallon totes
and 15 in the ground. ones in the ground were skinny and half died
12 in the totes teen plants
both went out in spring at the same time ones in the ground blow the totes away
all the best
