That's some funky looking growth I gotta tell ya on those 2 first ones in 1st grow. Lots of stresses on those 2 but hey fella you got some bud. I'm not sure about your questions hope i'm understanding right? 7gal pots are OK for outdoor auto but I would not go any less than 10gal more like 15gal or more for photo plants. I grow outdoor summertime in Oregon I don't use anything less than 10gal for a small indica photo but the bigger sativa hybreds need more space else you run into root troubles especially with plastic. Gotta have lots and lots of drain holes. GWE recommends fabric I love those but also use plastic with many drain holes. Good luck
 
These are my last little babys 1mth s

so this is coming up my first 6mths growing coming up ive practise tieing down plants . Lst training. Hst training. Topping fimming. And now cloning my bottom branchea that would have bein throw aways so il clone and dispatch to seclueded area and see if i can get them going i really enjoy it i find it theroputic most the time sometimes i feel frustrared ahaha but ive lost no plants yet ive correct heat streassed .climate affected. Pest infected .kids putting shampoo on buds . Winters harsh elimates and they are stlll alive none dead and over all there ok dont get me wrong they have been thru alot so i know there far from a grade but all fims .toppings .lst. hst has worked even tho i do know dome of those techniques arent best for outdoors but like i said earlier i am studying .learning .practising for indoors lights and all due to funds that dreams on hold and the great outdoors is my only elimint as they say started from the bottom and im here ahahah
 
And fellow forumers i have had alot of help from yous and i really appreciate it guys amd gurls please let me know ya feedback.answers .questions and please share your experience thorts and ideas i really do need appreciate and aknowledge and take on all of it im a try hard ahaha i want to thrive and keep self medicated and actively enjoy the growing and smoking and just the ups and downs of horticulture
 
Your doing great. I enjoy cloning but I take so many most of my friends are all total outdoor so this is not the time of year for giving clones away for outdoor. Keep up doing what your doing cause they sure look healthy from my view. Just need bigger containers buckets?
 
Sory 1 last pic so thats all my experience of coming up 6mths growing final recent chapter my clones in process hopefully aahah

Love fish/guano mix my teas. I compost much of my own soil make my own mixes reuse it add more coco coir which I use outdoor and perilite,. indoor I don't bring in what I mix for garden outdoor different mix indoor no food waste indoor. Man those are great big clones mine are 1/2 the size tall. Excellent choice yes i'm familiar with the strains, we love indica strains most.
 
Thanks bruf yea 2nd batch is thriving and little seedlings going to and bummer i thort my clones would work i tell you its bein hard especially the first 2 with funking growth patterns i know it was the winter climate and my inexperience but yea like ya said theres bud aahha i think i would of rather just brought some with all the work effort and stress and problems as ya can see ahahha but it was a big learning curve i mean 6 mths ago i honestly thort ya plant a seed 6 mths later ya harvest bud little did i know i wasnt grown them they were grown me ahaha i was out in frost with pot in hand shivering cold misrable wet weather there i am pot in hand chasining sunlight in my 5x3metre backyard i even climbed trees with them and place them up high to get sun ahhaha cut a long story short i had no f$%#^! Idea what i was doing ahaha im actually crackn up now thinking of what the neighbours even my partner and kids wondering what the heck is he doin ahaha but cheers mate awesome any help or knowledge i really to try to obsord i mean i dont want to be climbing this winter its practical from here on hopfully
 
Ok i have a small garden with nothing on i might trail a couple and also out off my 2.5mth seedling 1 has sexed any reason the rest arent i mean the 1 that has sexed did 3 weeks ago
 
Good idea especially forsome people that have to battle woth pest like possuns and pigs the bins height can defuse some real disater from alot of mosfortunate events even kids outdoors and price for a rubbish bin can be very inexpensive at right retailers
