Hope Im doing ok at this. This is my first outdoor grow since 1998. I'm shocked it's working out so far. They might look a little heat stressed as its 98 out for the last couple days. They got a little rain last night. Hopefully that should keep them happy today. Heya BTH 420 your gals are looking good! Just wondering when you drilled you holes in your 5 gallon pails did you drill any into the sides as well? I drill some about 1 inch to 1.5 inches with a 3/4 in bit so I can stick my finger inside to check to see how wet they are in the bottoms of your pots and possibly any dry spots your finger is the best moisture meter and it’s free! I’ve included a couple of pics of my gals and how I keep their roots cool in this heat wave. Just love seeing everyone’s outdoor gals here y’all keep rockin on the pics please!!!’n thank you!!!

Black pots will cook roots on a sunny day.I've been busy and wasn't sure if I was ever going to get around to putting some plants outside this year. I had the morning free today so I went ahead and put 6 outside. I got a late start outside but the plants are already big, 4 of them were some mothers that had outgrown the tent. They were all in 1 gallon coco this morning getting fed multiple times a day. Now they are in bigger pots with soil, I added EWC and Blood meal. Hopefully that will last them a month with just tap water.

Is it really bad for the plants to have black pots? I use black pots, always have and I live in the Valley of California where we get constant 90+ weather during the summer. Me personally I've never noticed anything harmful going on with my plants that are in black pots? But that might just be because I've never really looked into it and the effects of black pots. Unfortunately as I am constantly broke I can't even afford to buy new pots or even some spray paint or white material to wrap my pots in so I'm stuck with the black pots and black fabric 20 gallon bagsBlack pots will cook roots on a sunny day.
Probably depends on size but in direct sunlight on a 90° day i measured temps over 140° on the exterior.Is it really bad for the plants to have black pots?

I don’t think it’s a big deal with the fabric (as it has good air flow to the roots), but the black plastic is hell fire.Is it really bad for the plants to have black pots?
