cloth bags for outdoor grow

[oldjarhead100]

I usually use plastic gallon pots for my outside grows and transplant them this year I thought I would get some of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 they are 1 gallon biodegradable pots ,so Im thinking I can grow in these and just put the whole pot in the ground now here is the question do you think I should put some slices in the bag before I put it in the ground

[BlueBudz]

Those are a good idea! I want to put a couple in the woods this year but start them inside first and I think this would be a perfect way to do it. What do you mean put “slices” in the bag?

[oldjarhead100]

I'm not sure if the roots would grow though

[Pyro1711]

I just read the description and the scary thing I saw is where it says they last a year before breaking down...I think a 1 gallon bag, might not allow the roots to expand? I think it's a good idea, but maybe a larger bag? As for the slices, I'm guessing you wanted to do that to allow some roots to get out of the bag?

[BlueBudz]

Now I get the “slices” part 😂
Ya might be a good idea given how fast they grow

[Potted]

I think it’s a good idea, I’m going to start my out door grow soon inside and wait till temps are good. I’m just wondering how long it takes before thay brake down? Would hate to pick one up only to have the bottom fall out!

Hey Ojh, yeah, those will do great, I'm fixing to get me some to try too, how did you find them ? Yes I know when I get mine I'm gonna slice the sh-t out of the bottom of them ,until I get used to them.It's getting time down this way.

on amazon just thought they might be better for the plants

Look on their web site,made of plastic

The roots will grow through any fabric pot as they are designed to for the air pruning my first grow I did this indoor. Won’t do it again though as I think it stunted them a bit but I did have roots growing right through the 1 gallon inside the 3 gallon. They are cheap enough I’d probably just cut the bottom out place in the hole and cut around it I would think this would not shock them much. But you could cut a bunch of holes and be fine.

Ya, thats what I do with my peat pots, cut the bottoms out before I put them in there final pots.. Your right Locrian99, The pots are supposedly designed to have roots grow through them if they are planted in the ground. Id still cut out the bottom though. It just speeds things up a little.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Locrian99, I've placed SmartPots and several different types of fabric pots on the ground and left them, and a few roots will grow thru the pots, but if you want the million other roots to grow thru you better cut the bottom up.lol

[Locrian99]

I agree daas I would cut out the bottom at least.

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks all will give them a try

[PuravidaC]

I agree with slicing the bags. That is what is done with burlap around a tree rootball even though tree roots can/will grow through burlap. Can't hurt...

[Locrian99]

I was trying to find this yesterday... this pot was literally just placed in a 3 gallon (I wouldn’t do it again) I then just yanked the pot out after harvest. There were for sure fewer roots outside of the 3 gallon as was stated if I was to do it again I’d cut the bottom out and poke holes.

[Dutchman1]

Nice, that will help alot of people to solidify it in there minds. Some grow thru but not enough like we all want.

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks all @Locrian that is a pretty descriptive picture cut it up it is lol

[oldjarhead100]

I filled one of the pots yesterday just see how they looked wow they fill out to 6 inches around and are a bit taller the fabric is very thin you can tell they are a one time use pot I'll take a picture this morning

[D.A.A.S.69]

That sounds like, just what I'm looking for.

[oldjarhead100]

This is where its all going to happen I have 31 seedlings then I will have 10 pineapple chunk clones and the Tutankhamen clones and I have 10 Russian seeds coming as well so thats my grow now all I have to do is clone them all once and I will have enough for everyone else lol

[oldjarhead100]

So the Russian seeds I had coming were already here lol was I surprised when I opened the seeds to find Black Zombie , so then I looked for the Russian seeds and they were in my seed jar lol, so now I have to go see witch one of them will be finished in September
