Any advice for monsters

I have these babys just transplanted today into 5 gal buckets. All Fimmed and topped. 1 month 2weeks. Outdoor grow. This is my first grow. How do they look. What is my next step. I want monsters. I plan on vegging 4 months. And transplanting to bigger pots afree 2 months

Do you know what monsters are in cannabis?

You're going to be root bound in buckets in 2 months.

Are those drain holes only on sides ?

Big roots = big plants. Get some 100 gallon bags or dig a 100 gallon hole in the ground with quality soil to transplant into.

Where are the monsters I was hoping for some beefy plants in this thread lmao

Imo it’s the same as indoors. Keep them healthy and happy . The sun and around 3 month veg make monsters

I helped a neighbor transplant 10 plants out of frigging 5-gallon buckets last Fall. Mos def a 2 man job. He would almost cry hearing roots tearing. This is not an easy afternoon chore. You'll see if you wait that long.

When we do our outdoor plants in spring they are always in five gallon buckets and are a pain in the butt to transplant especially if they get to tall

Use fabric pots, no root bound, 5 gal pots grow monsters

How are you planning a 4 month veg? If your not supplying extra light , they flower when it’s time based on day length

I thought that was what this post was about? Monsters that are too big.

Translucent buckets are a no no. Roots don’t like to “see” light.

You are on your 1st grow.. shoot for healthy plants over monsters as a priority. Once you can keep a plant healthy.. then reach higher. Til then smoke up & do some research here. There is an outdoor section where you may be able to find threads to help you along.
