Okay so you have 30 and 60 gallon pots. My question is where you got them?
I am using cow mineral lick tubs, but I have no idea about their size. I didn't think to count the amount of 5 gallon buckets I put in them. I am pretty sure that I used about 4-5 at least. Appreciate any help.

It could get a little heavy trying to transplant something that large without hurting your plant.If you have large holes for the roots to pass threw,I would place them on a nice amount of amended soil a foot or so deep

No doubt! I have no plans for moving them. I have @a foot of composted manure in my pots/tubs. On top of that I have a mixture of organic potting soil, and sand of about equal depth if not slightly more. Sound good?

Those tubs are great. I've been out of the cow business for a while, but still have some of them floating around.

Yeah I am trying to find another 3 or 4. I think that they might be almost as good as putting the plants in the ground. You wouldn't happen to know how many gallons they hold would you?
I already have about 4 wheelbarrow loads of composted horse manure just raring to go. I want to make it into some "super soil". I also have probably another 4 truckloads of manure to be composted. So next year I should be all set.

Well normally I wouldn't disagree with you, but I got my tubs for the best price...FREE!!! That's why I am trying to find some more. My other half got them to use for watering her horses, she let me have the 2 that I have now because they froze this winter and a horse kicked them, which made a small crack on the bottom of them. Otherwise I would be using 5 gallon buckets, and wouldn't have as many tomato plants this year. Nothing like homegrown tomatoes!! They taste better than anything from a store! I am hoping that it is the same way with cannabis. Better than the dispensaries!

Some where around 30-45 gallons would be my guess. You had to dump the block out of the tub or the damn cows would try to eat the plastic.
Ask about mushroom compost at your local feed and seed store. It's cheap as dirt. I get a scoop {almost 1 cubic yard} for 15 bucks. Mixed with peat moss, potting soil, other composts and amendments, it makes a pretty good soil.
