Growing outdoors in a bucket vs in the ground

Purple widow from seed. Same age same soil. As you can see mother nature seems to be winning this match.

are these by desanjaman?? i also have one outdoors however i had lots of phenos most autoflowered indoors. the outdoors one has the structure of an auto yet refuses to flower after 3 months....sometimes i wonder what we are actually buying

Yeah having them in pots constricts air, allows for build up, and those pots get so fucking hot in the sun it's insane that damages the roots for sure

Transplant that to a 15g bag (geo pot or similar). I would be interested to see that comparison more . Nice plants.

I'm actually going to drop her in a swamp near my house and let her go. I've got enough to deal with already.
