I would build a custom planter...I would make it between 8"-12" deep and monocrop about 10 plants all in the single planter keeping the plants between 2-3' tall.
Is total weight of soil an issue or plant height...?

no concerns about weight. i was thinking about building them
figured two 1 or 2x6's tall
but was wondering if given their so exposed to the air temperature
mabe another board high might be advisable soas to have greater soil mass
it will be sitting against the outer railing
which is a lightweight steel rod construction affair
figure to trellis up some tomato's and peppers
but i really want to grow enough cilantro to keep up
i nearly run through a bunch a day
the porch is 36" wide so i dont have much room towork with
how narrow a planter space would you advise?

My problem in something similar was the heat transfer from the decking into the pots creating to much heat for the roots. Ended up setting them on top of another pot of soil. Double stacking and just pulled them up today. Trimming them. Used white sheets to cover the pots and reflect the heat.
Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

After all I've grown and experimented with. Except for that 1979 Mexican dirt weed with a lizard in it.. or a small rock or 2 or... paraqueted.

Which means of course you can trust them to love you.
If you don't what's your problem?

anyway the original point was
In Our today the weed is good. No impurities if you want quality. Its available.
No paying for weed brought over through the negro section of town from the beaners in Mexico?
I got caught with weed once by dad.. Raised in the "propaganda" marijuana makes you rape and axe murder craze...
"Where did you get this? Did you buy this from some niggers?"
"No dad. I didn't buy it from any niggers. Thats where I get my wine coolers from."
