I got one question tho.. what is better to put them in the ground or in some big pots in the ground. im going for stealth kinda so i thought the pots would be good so the plants dont get too big. any ideas?

well if your going to dig a hole to put the pot in i would just use the hole instead, kinda make it look like its growing 'naturally'.

One way you could plant outside but also in pots is to take some big 3 or 5 gallon pots and cut the bottoms out. Then bury the pots in the ground so only the top few inches are sticking out. This will allow the plant to continue putting roots down into the soil, but they'll still be in pots so you can control them better and move them quickly if necessary. You may have to break off the bottom roots growing into the ground, but your plant will survive and should recover just fine.
Hope this helps!

up rooting a plant in the ground is not advised. ^. That can cause tons of stress. may produce hermies, and wont recover just fine.
