http://www.aurorainnovations.org/uprising-foundation.htmlhey guys this is my first grow and its outdoors. the clones are purple cream and ive been feeding them the Botanicare products. what id really like to do for next year is water them through a topsoil feeding instead of mixing food on a daily basis. i would greatly appreciate any info on what you have used for outdoor grows and nutrients that break down over a 30 day period of time so i can just water then replace topping each 30 days. thanks and continued success with your grows

I'm topping with these and they have produced amazing results outside (above picture!) when used to feed a soil which is 4:1 mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest and perlite. To be fair I have not used bloom yet but I'm probably only 1 week away from that now.
I don't top dress any of my plants with until I've seen really vigorous growth for at least 3+ weeks since these soils are well loaded with food. I do about once/month in roughly the amounts the manufacturer specifies. I think that is half as often as the schedule they recommend, which I suspect is only appropriate for CO2 enriched grows or some other next level expert grow.
I have no interest in liquid nutes for now given how I don't have to PH test or do anything besides add good filtered water and am getting such amazing results. Love the top-dress method. I do occasionally supplement with worm poo tea as both root and foliar feed.

That's what I want to experiment with next time so I've been reading quite a bit. But yes I would definitely want to know as much as possible about it

look at some of these grows in 5 gallon buckets and it really makes u wonder what size u actually need..........i can tell u that in my outdoor 4'x4' plot 2' down would be right at 200 gallons. 7.48 gallons per cu.ft. so 2 ft down would be 32 x 7.48= 239.36 gallons. even as a "noob" here id say 400 gallons is overkill. biggest factor would be are u growing from seeds or clones? if clones you def dont need 400 gallon containers right guys? because most of the roots grow out instead of down......

If you can afford GOOD soil, I would go with the 400's.

What soil do you think would be good will it be ok to set the bags right on the ground or should set theme on something

I grow in 65 gallon smart pots, and I think it's the perfect size. I feel when using the 100 gallon and up, you start to wash out your nutrients. So, picking a pot size you have to set expectations for your self. How much green you require until the next grow, how much work am I willing to put in.

I've used 65's for years somtimes it's just some plants that takes off huge. It will grown threw the bag and hit the ground then keep going if the diet is decent below it. My whole yard has soil all over so the roots just go down if u don't move it and tear them which I do somtimes, it works for me I will post some pics of the big girls in 65's soon. I got some175's trimmed down to about 120's for space. 1 mango and SFV OG in a 120ish and 1 mango and SFV OG in a 65 there about the same size each. I've had 12ft in 65's but seeds clones probably 10'ish between the last 6 years. I like flavors so having more plants is better I feel then giant pots and hope for monster.
