So maybe cup to 3 gal to earth? I can dig not wanting to transplant anymore than necessary.

as for watering two gallons a week is prolly to much till they get bigger that the number one mistake by rookie growers is over watering you should just spray your starts with an atomizer ( squirt bottle) and when you transplant you will want to water the reason for this is so that the dirt settles around the roots and they can expand but as my general rule of thumb dont water till they start too look a lil droopy or how you could do it is get acustomed to the weight of a well watered plant and just pick up the plants to see if they need water. MJ dosent like whole bunches of water all the time too much water and you can drown your plants (kinda funny you can drown a plant lol) :rastasmoke:[/QUOTE]

makes sense. Just read how most noobs like myself over water/ over nute. But in the ground will they still droop slightly when they are ready to be watered? I won't be able to pick them up as I am going to plant in earth after 3 gal pot. Someone also told me about drilling a 3/16th hole in bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and setting it near the stem? (personally I'm not to into this, I would just feel a little out of control.) Definitely want to make sure I don't drown 'em

Wow thanks guys and gals, lots to think about.

I have been scouring through these posts over the last few days and can see that you all are very knowledgeable and able to assist others with their questions. I need plenty of assistance. This is going to be my first grow. I have the land to do it outdoors. I want to do six plants, and am planning on getting clones from the local club. I understand the holes need to be about 2x2 for the plant to grow in the ground? And it sounds like at first Rating: 5
