Nuttin personal but fickbthem fabric things ! Thru them all away and back to good old plastic nursery pots .I've heard this before that stress can bring out more trich's but the drying stress I give them costs me leaves every time. There must be a fine line between stress and death for the leaves. These fabric pots are causing me headaches drying out so fast and once they go dry everything hangs like they want to die. And that's just an over night dry out 2 days more at that point they'd be unrecoverable....

I tried to do some veg in them with little perlite and they were too wet because they don't use water fast like weed... I think I just hate them lol... to each thier own though, everyone has a different environment and practices.Think about cutting back on the perlite.
Yeah any pot outside is more maintenance than in the ground because it drys out so fast with the wind and sun... I go adventuring too much to worry about daily watering like clockwork... they're much more forgiving with the watering in the ground. I've never used fabric indoors, they get started in nursery pots, but I have a feeling they probably work better inside.Depends on Where you are growing. Plastic pots would melt around here.Your plants are beautiful!
Yeah my soil is rocky af and sandy beneath the top soil, so my ass is out there with the shovel and iron bar as soon as the ground thaws preparing my holes... I dug 3 new ones and reused and recharged 4 this year. Once the initial digging is done it's not as back breaking lol. I think I'll be pulling rocks from my garden until I die or we move... goddamn ancient receding glaciers making my life hard.I wish I could grow in the ground. Too lazy. No backhoe. Took me the better part of a day to dig a hole big enough to bury a golden retriever in. With rock bars and shovel. Lol.
I'm just using what comes out of the brick....be a pain in the ass to try and pick out the white stuff...lolThink about cutting back on the perlite.
Fwiw post hole diggers are easier than using a shovel imoI wish I could grow in the ground. Too lazy. No backhoe. Took me the better part of a day to dig a hole big enough to bury a golden retriever in. With rock bars and shovel. Lol. And no drainage.
I like the way the roots grow in them. They grow in the soil and not around the inside of the pot up against the plastic. I don't get root wrapping either. Pain in the ass to water and transplant out of I have mixed feelings on them I might try a comparison grow with twins....Good idea...nice talk...I think I'll clone 2 GSC and put 1 in 5 gal plastic & 1 in 5 gal fabric.......just to see what if any differences I get....it'll have to wait another 2 weeks. to start the clones or I'll run out of spaceNuttin personal but fickbthem fabric things !

I have a jacked up neck, shoulder, collar bone and scapula with nerve damage on my dominant side, the post hole digger does me no favors lol. I go for the jump on the shovel w all my weight and scoop with my good arm approach lol.Fwiw post hole diggers are easier than using a shovel imo
Okaaaaaaay, come up here and try that. boulders the size of small cars. you can see the Earths crust here, solid granite with a few inches to a few feet of top soil and growth. As the glaciers melted back they dragged and deposited boulders as they shrunk in size, They're are many places here where you can see scaring on the Earths crust from the dragging of the rocks. Digging here is okay until you hit a rock or root & rocks. It really sucks as you dig and find a rock then try and find its edges,,, after it gets over a couple of feet wide...time for a back hoe...lolFwiw post hole diggers are easier than using a shovel imo
Beautiful as always.Couple night time shots of the garden gals. Will be tending site #2 and taking new pics of everyone this week sometime.
