Also its alot of animals where I live at so if I were to plant straight into the ground I would put wiring around the main stalk so they cant nibble it to the ground. To me buckets are more managable.. if you want to be discrete about it dig a hole and plant the bucket in the ground!
Great advise. Im new with only 3 grows, but i have em in pots and in the ground and my pots look great. The ones in the ground are getting ate up by bugs and the soapy water isnt helping. Plus i use a wheelchair and can get close to topping sites to create more buds while in pots. Next year im planting in all pots. And if need to il brake the bottems out and set them in desired places.
