Pots are mixed, what a lot of work. Between the bugs and hauling 60 pound bails of soil. What a long day. I had to move my spot about 50 yards but its a much better spot.
I will be doing all my watering at night time. I'm taking No chances. i try not to visit the spot much during the day. ive done full grows were i only go 2 or 3 times from May to oct. Most of the time its to inspect the plants and surroundings

60 pound smart pots are ready

have you done full grows in smart pots going only 2-3 times, because I dnt think thats gonna work without your soil drying up badly

Idk I've never transplanted something from a larger pot...say 1 gallon size into the ground...I guess I could cut the pot? Or just turn it upside down and catch the dirt? lol

1 gal isnt big at all, try transplanting 5+gal then it gets hard, its simple, and you dny have to cut away and waste a container. (funny thing is some people think cutting the container, is a safer way to prevent root damage, when there just creating more work and end up damaging more roots). Here you go simple shit, place your hand on the soil around the base of your plant with the base of the stem inbetween your middle and ring finger. hold it on there firm, lift the planter/pot up, flip the plant upside down(MAKE SURE ITS ESTABLISHED A ROOT BALL THOUGH!!) if it doesnt pop out right then tap and gently squeeze the sides, and itll come right out, full root ball, and very few if and damaged roots. Not sure why some cannabis growers try complicating such simple growing practices like transplanting

Carrying those promix bails out in the woods is hard work bro good work, and driving your plants out in the night been there done that. I got a good chuckle from reading that. Good luck to you, my only concerns are those plants are too close to each other, and the black pots stand out maybe put some cardboard or brush around them. Also the white pro mix bags get rid of those asap. Lastly, how will you be watering the lady's.
Keep us posted, cp

I would have to agree with this guy about the smart pots drying out. Last year I used 7 and 10 gal smart pots in my guerilla grow, I was only able to visit the sites once a week to water, but boy was that a costly mistake. I ended up with alot of stringy bud cause the pots would dry out so much in between waterings that it just screwed up my whole harvest. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad had I used larger pots. That's just my 2 cents. Now for some advise how to handle them drying out if it becomes a problem. Take a 1" round stick and poke holes all the way around the plant deep as possible, then get water crystals and drop a small amount in each hole, back fill, and water like crazy so they can charge. That way if things ever do get too dry you have some relief for your girls even if you cant make it to them.

I have 6 gallon jugs. They have handles which makes carrying them a little easier. I'll have 4 jugs of those stashed in the grow area

I plan on watering 1 time per week. Unless it rains less or more which could mean less trips. Im hoping those pots don't dry out any faster then 7 days. Each pot is gonna get at least 4 gallons of water 1 time every week.

i think you'll be fine till they get big, bushy and budding. Once they start to flower i'd think about watering more often or using water crystals, but i wouldnt worry bout that too much till you get there. For now that should be plenty IMO. Once its later in the season you'll find out what kind of issues ur goin have and then I would deal with them as they come.

The tangerine dream has been a nice surprise.

There's been a lot of bad talk about the strain so I may have lucked out a bit on a nice one
