Grow bags

Rwise. How often do you put smaller pots into bigger pots?? I will start my seeds onto solo cups. And then into what size?? 3 or 5 or 7 gallon?? Then??? Im really new and fabric pots are very new to me.😳🙂 This is only my third year. Last year our of 4 plants I got one female. This year I made sure I got feminized seeds🙂

Fem seed is going to help you. I am new to these pots as well, I am using 3 gallon for mothers, and inside grows mostly for my back. I have 7 gallon that I have been using inside and will continue to use. The 20 gallon are going outside for the summer and not coming back inside, mostly for my back!
Once you have a stash built then you can play with bag seed or reg seed if you want, it can be fun, you just dont know what you'll get good poor exciting. My bag seeds hermied, I'll get some smoke, (I have plenty) and the seed will be feed to the chickens, shame they have a wonderful skunk smell to them.
 
Smart man, I've thought about it like 400 times and I don't know why I haven't done it yet. I'm going to cut them off after this harvest I think.
 
Even dry those 20gallon bags are too heavy for me these days. A simple 2cu.ft. Bag of coco loco or fox farms is a chore. My friend use 15 gallon bags last year and. The plants were so tall outdoors, she had to dig holes in the ground to lower them ...the were taller than her 6’ stockade fence. Not cool by her location... substantiates the theory on a larger bag growing a bigger plant..👍
 
I can tell you the 20 gallons are hard to move for certain, need two good backs! (thats why they are going outside, I wont be moving them) I have 3 and 7 gallon, not to bad to move around.
 
GardenLady I got 15gal plastic with lots and lots of drill holes. Our neighbor planted large trees he was going to dump them I can't stand dumping plastic it's killing me not being able to recycle so I took them. But I use 3 an 5 gal fabrics inside and outside for autos. If you get those with handles at least someone can help lift.
 
Thanks for you input Budgal. I will be planting them outside again so will try to use 10 gal. at least. And if need be I can move them around or put in greenhouse in the fall if threat of frost... it's heated now so won't be a problem.

I think that's a fine size for our needs really. The fabric is really the way to go as long as you don't have to move them much. Who the crap has a fork lift just sitting around. Lucky you got heated GH mines from the sun when it's there LOL.
 
stump exactly I've seen growers use 75%perilite and good old composted soil mix and grow in 30+gal containers. Hmm this gives me a idea for just one photo plant I may give this a go just for the heck of it. I got the goods i'm going to do one for experiment.
 
GardenLady heck we can't trust forcast unless it's august right? We just gotta prepare for it. I sure hope we don't though. I'm just going to get these photos 3-4ft. in their containers before I set them out from GH.
