as long as theres holes in the bottom it should be able to spread out some roots, its hard for pots to really get dry here unless it doesnt rain for a week, i suggest keeping up on the weather in case we do have a tropical storm. ive also heard of people putting pvc in the ground so air can get the the roots in case of heavy watering but i never though this would be that effective. it might be a good idea to tie your stem to a post or a stick in case you get heavy winds.alright i've found the perfect locations for my garden today. it's awesome. plenty of everything! now im just waiting on the girls to be ready. i had some questions though. can you plant fabric grow bags in the ground? and if you do will the ground help keep my soil moist? or even dry my soil out? I'm refering to the soil in the grow bags that is. Then if i put holes in the bottom of the bags will this allow for the plant to take root to the soil? I really like the fabric bags. I'm just wanting to leave them in the bags when i move them outside, but i want them to form a tap root in the soil so they require less watering.
i highly suggest 5 gallons for future grows with the auto strains, the better your root mass the better your yield. and since your in the FL humidity, it might be a good idea to train them to grow vertical so theres more bud spots, big colas are good for the early winter when its not too humid but flowering now might make you a bit more prone to get mold damage. more bud spots also means more leaves as well as more separate buds so if one gets mold/pest damage you can just cut it and spare the rest. if you do put out your girls in winter though, feel free to let them grow single colas, but keep an eye out for mold.crazyhazey dude your awesome! def. getting some +rep from me. i thought about tying them when they flower to support the plant but not at all about mother nature. Still new to the outdoors and haven't thought about out all angles of this yet. I got my seedling going from tiny cups i started them in to 1/2 gallon poly bags today. I planted two plants per cup so that way after i sex them hopefully i eliminate the extra buddy in each cup. Still got a couple wks till i do that though. Also got 3 gallon bags for my autos. they haven't tapped out their cups yet so I'm going to hold off on transplanting till then. plus i want to have better soil for their bags since this will be their final resting spot.
i would just stick to rain water, its well aerated and the pH is good. and im not to sure with the autos, they should grow pretty fast if you give them a good environment, most autos are said to finish in 60-80 days but everyone has a different idea of when its right to harvest. and bag seeds tend to be pretty fast, im growing two right now and i had a male that grew twice as fast as my other plant. just make sure your not over watering as well, its easy to over water with this high humidity. i make holes towards the bottom 5 inches of my pots and poke holes, if the holes dont collapse after you take out the pencil then its still got good moisture.ok far as collecting water goes. i know its good to collect rain water, but i heard it was good to use the water that A/C's drips as well. Just wondering about that one. Luckily for me I haven't transplanted the auto yet b/c I'm waiting to get better soil. So when i pick up the soil I'll grab some 5 gallon bags and just use the 3's sometime later. How long does it take for auto normaly to take off? B/c I have my cups of MIDS seed are farther along then my autos cups with my Autos i ordered offline. so i'm just wondering when they're going to take off. They're a wk and half from seed and are still just at the first set of true leaves. while my MIDS has started it's second.
Dude, as you know, I have a bunch of auto's going and mine are pushing 1 and 1/2 weeks. They are just now getting their 1st and 2nd sets of leaves. I would say week 3 will be the good week where you may see some pistils (granted it's a female) and then after that week, it's off to the races! Post some pics man!ok far as collecting water goes. i know its good to collect rain water, but i heard it was good to use the water that A/C's drips as well. Just wondering about that one.

A/C condensate is fine for ornamentals but not for edible crops. It contains a lot of bad tasting stuff from the aluminum, copper and lead on the evap coil.i heard it was good to use the water that A/C's drips
like i said feel free to grow single colas in winter/early spring, much lower humidity. what strain were those girls?View attachment 2095001View attachment 2095002View attachment 2095003howdy,
we grew in the deland area this strain in 3 gal. grow bags and had no problems at all growing in a palmetto patch. these in the pic was grown in maine on the coast last summer. after the spring florida crop. no mold in either place .good luck
