New outdoor autoflower grow any tips ;D

Here we have barneys farm glue gelato, bubblelicious nirvana seeds, auto utimate dutch passion all brought from seedsman. have grown photos before had problems a long time ago now starting Autos, we started our seedlings with 3mill formulex under 600watt leds 24 of light & in 4inch pots with biobizz light mix, im only going to feed water next time.

Now we wanted to only keep indoor before moving outside around 2week old but bad weather caused us to keep indoors about 3 weeks in total.
Upon moving these small plants some were knocked over & bent. we have had heavy rain constant on and off for over a month since around march.

Finally transplanted and moved to 5 gallon pots same mix biobizz light mix, our plants are 5 to 6 weeks old now, they have not even been fed proper veg nutes yet just a enough to moisten soil with mighty growth enhancer at 3mill per 10 litres of water. too much rain...

Roots are now showing under pots with a few insect bites on leaves some have stigmas, dedided to add more soil under pots, also dug hole a few inches covered with platic sheeting.

What is your take on this should we add more soil under pots or just leave as they are, 7 plants in total. due to the problems had, do these plants look ok.

The roots will stretch down out of the pots if they have something to grow in. If the black pots get a lot of direct light on them, the root zone will get hotter than ideal. If having them permanently in place is not a problem, like you don't care if guests see them, I would put them directly in the ground in prepped soil. Also, you could prep some soil in the ground and set the pots down into the soil a few inches. Must make sure drainage is very good if you do that, so water does not stagnate in the pots and cause rot.

You should jump on some preventative maintenance for pests before they start budding out. All kinds of bugs will attack them outdoors.

Good luck! Peace

Put them into 20 - 25 gallon bags now, have you any good pesticide thats safe to use through out veg and bloom, looking something thats good to get rid of moths and caterpillars.

Through veg until flower starts I use neem oil, spinosad, and BT foliar spray and root drench for weekly preventative maintenance. After flowers start, do not apply spray. Maybe there are other spray products you can use in flower, but I don't know them. Maybe look in the bugs part of the forums. Only apply spray after sunset. If sunlight hits leaves still wet with this stuff, they will burn badly.

Good luck! Peace
