In pots or in the ground?

idk if i should grow my plants in a 5 gal bucket or put them in the ground. I might be gone for 2 days at a time and i had a plant in a 5 gal bucket and left it for 3 days not watering it and it bent over even though it rained during the 3 days.

In ground with better soil 2x2 ft hole would be 10x better than 5 gallon pot.

ok thanks

Yeah she'll get root bound quick in a 5 gal bucket then need daily watering. In ground would need less watering. Just put down some small holed fencing for gophers if you have any around

what

In the ground for bigger root mass and more stable temps and grow some monsters. Mulch maybe for no extreme drying out of top soil and better water retention and protection from the elements.

Good Growing.

Is that the plant you want to put outside, it's gonna die man!?!?!?

its already outside

That thing is overwatered and rotting below the soil I bet about to call it quits. leave it alone if you want it to survive, dont transplant now.

oh, ok man.

If it's an auto, you are fine leaving it in the 5 gallon. Photoperiod I'd definitely put in the ground.

50/50 chance.

Under a flourecent light inside will increase your chances 10fold.

Good Luck man.

You dont want to transplant an auto. Put it into its final pot to start.
