In my opinion you should just drop the pots and all in the ground. I don't know where your at or what type of traffic you have there, but those plants look highly visible. I would drop the pots in the ground around an area that has some hiding size. I would then take fish line and encirle the area around the plants so that deer are detered (only takes them one night to much those plants).

Depending on the strain your plants might not be done fast enough (they seem to have some sativa in them. If we have cold snaps early in the fall then depending on the strain and its characteristics, you might just have to go prematurely harvest them. When they flower is predetermined by genetics so it might be near a 12/12 cycle or it might be more like a 13/11 cycle. unless you have grown this strain for awhile you will not be able to determine this.

problems might arise by the fact that you have various strains which might or moght not be suitable for your area.

PS if there is potential traffic in your area I would tie those babis down once they are in the ground. Pot plants are distinct and any hiker or kids just happening to go by might say something or possibly come back and steal them when you have gone through all of the work and they near maturity.
