hey i have about 7 plants all ranging from about a foot to 2 feet and they are growing very rapidly getting plenty of sunlight and water every day because their bein grown at my house. however its time for them to go to the woods to finish their life cycle, my question is wether i should keep them in pots to finish up or should i plant them in ground and im also worried about them not getting enought light because my woods are very shady but lush and healthy. i have a spot that gets a descent amount of light and a creek bed area that doesnt get as much, what do you think is the best approach? thanx

In my opinion sunlight would be the most important part of your decision, putting in the ground or keeping the the pot is your call.

If you keep them in the pot you will have to water more often.

you must have at least a few good hours of direct sunlight! the amunt of light is directly proportional to end weight...I swear by buckets, especially for security reasons...read my blog for more guerilla tips.

the more light the better but youd be surprised by what you can grow in shady areas. and having them in the ground gives you two advantages. 1 more room to spread out roots. and if someone stumbles onto it you can be like "i geuss these are growing wild." when there in pots cops and neighbors know whats up

i just threw 3 of my 50 babies under a long tree line and realised they probably dont get that much light.(nothing realy growing under the trees but soil looks really rich) so the rest will be in the fields scatered in patches of 3 and 4.
you think i will have a prob with those 3 and should i thro anymore under the tree line? Or stick to fields?(beter chance of them not getting caught under tree line)
anyone?
