hey man, yea i was planning on taking off the bottom of the grow bag and removing it entirely, the plastic acts like a sleeve to sent the roots downward only. I was going to put them in pre-tilled soil and i would put some organic soil on the top. Do you think adding a time release fertilizer stake would do any good? I knew it was bad to add non organic chemicals but if it adds some use then i would surely use that instead of having different fertilizing periods.. Also, I am planning on starting every seed i get indoors. since i'm using mostly bag seed, i'm going to sex the plants after they reach 8 inches tall. then i'll revert them back to vegetative when they show sex until they reach about a foot. I'm going to plant them outside after they reach that point. I still have to find a spot though... I was thinking about underneath some powerlines.. do you think that would work? It is far away from any people and its hard to get to, but i just get sketched out about the police and all.
