I think that would be fine for average lope, but not sure how it will work for gaint lopes. I grew a 10 long cucumber vine witch produced just fine in a 10 gal pot, so its wortha try !

I think it could work if you keep the nutrients up in the pot feeding.

you can, just depends on how big a fruit you want. they will need water maybe twice a day in the heat if the plant is any size to do well & special nutrients.
