For me, it's 15G fabric pots , outdoors. I was not planning to grow as many this year, but due to Marsha's incredible generosity, I'm trialing some.

So here is the list that I'm considering doubling up in 15G containers.
Whaddya say, yay or nay.

- Mat Su
- Pruden Purple
- PBTD
-GGWT

-Reif
-Wes
-SG

Granted, I've alway planted single plants in a pot and they all fill the entire space and cage - unless I get hit with blight.

So is double up doable / advisable. Or give them space to breath and light ?
I am doubling up in 3 gallon now, I can barely tell any difference between those and some I have in 10 gallon. You guys worry too much, there are thousands of commercial growers doing what we are doing up here, several right in my area too. Use drips, top water, gutter feeds, it does not matter as long as you can keep them watered.
