@Sweet_Seeds, Hi Apolo. Last year I grew Strawbery Sherbet Cola, Cream Mandarine Fast, Purple Punch OG and Gorila Girl. GG was the best by far. Great production and resistance to Botrytis. Excellent flavor and effect. That's why I'm repeating it. Saludos para España y fuerza Valencia!
In ground i think is better than pots when grown outdoors, i think the temperature resistance it builds in the roots and the microbes are better for the plants pheno's and the race to get to that, but that is just from my experience from this years grow i did indoor and outdoor. Good luck.
@Danger_Mouse, That is correct, i used to do something similar unfortunately i learned the hard way except i used red solo cups for seedlings and i was transplanting them into the ground with out having a rim around the roots or a root ball developed and the plants always had problems. I switched to using Jiffy pots but now i transplant the Jiffy after having the seedlings under my 250W L.e.d. in solo cups and then transplanting outdoor or under my 600watt i have no complaints anymore.
@Sativagrows, Of Course. The key is to transplant quickly into the ground to allow for significant root development. This year, I germinated in 1-gallon pots and moved directly to the ground. In my first outdoor crops, I used to transplant into 5-gallon pots first and then plant large plants in the ground, which is a mistake.
