    Default frisian dew outdoor pots to small?

    I'm currently growing 4 frisian dew plants in my back garden, my tallest being well over 7 foot tall. My main concern is that i think that they may be too big for their pots (see images). Also, i've grown outdoors before and it never feels like the plants reach their full budding potential - is it because they become rootbound by the time the budding stage begins? If so then where can you get larger pots from? because i've had to use bins from wilkinsons as i can never find containers which are big enough in garden centres.

    Also, what are the best nutrients to start using at this stage? So far i've just been topping up with miracle grow nutes every once and a while and its been working great, considering i planted in early june (which i've read is way too late unless its an auto??).

    And last of all how much can i expect to yield from these stinky babies?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    Look at builders buckets - they'll need some holes drilled in the bottom though!

    I personally would repot into bigger pots. I'm grow in 25L pots and I have no problem. I would love to go as tall as you, but here I still have to keep mine low, so a screen is always around for scrogging.

    Beautiful plants brother

    cheap solution for large pots, you know the compressable outdoor garden bins. for collected leaf matter that pop up into a bin.... find a strong canvass one of them and fill it with your soil mix.....

    pretty looking plants btw.. i am growing a friesan this year too , had to high stress train it at about 6-7 ft to stop it hitting greenhouse roof
