    Default Black grow bags for outside.....Will they burn my roots?

    I grow outdoors in black grow bags that I got from the local Hydro Store. Initially they were for my indoor tent growing with soil but freekin buckets are expensive, lol. I just notice that they get super hot mid day and im now starting to think that they are killing my root growth. You know, baking them due to the high heat for being black and in direct sun. What do you "Seasoned Growers" think? Are they causing any harm? Any replys will get pos rep!

    I have mine in some black nursery pots (get very hot), Big Tupperware bins (blue and grey dont hold much heat) and also in 10gallon black fabric grow bags. The grow bags being black get warm but not hot due to fabric letting in air to pot. I was going to buy the plastic type bags but went with the cloth due to heat issue. I know if I was wrapped in black plastic with no air and thrown in the sun I would bake in my own fluids,lol. I can imagine my roots. makes me think I should transplant out of the nursery pots and put them all in fabric grow bags. lol.

    I've seen them used succesfully outside, but you can always bury most of them to keep the sun off.

    I asked once at a nursery that has all kinds of plants outdoors in the sun in those black plastic buckets. The outside was hot as hell, they said it didn't cause any issue. And the smart pots are fabric so they breath.

    If your concerned about plastic, just spray paint them flat white

    Well since I was schooled about the "not able to give positive rep yet" issue, I want to thank everyone who commented. Its people like you who help us grow the best we can, and my plants want to thank you, too! Good to see that there is more than one person who is worried about the bag matter. Now we all know its ok and might work without any problems but its not recommended. BIG UPPS TO ROLL IT UP!100_3885[1].jpg Here's my Sticky Icky lady. She's doing great in a 7gal bag.
