I would do anything you can to get those 10 gallons into bigger pots like 65s or 100s

I just put them into 45gals about the middle of may. I understand I may be pushing it in regards to room for the roots but I am fairly confident I'll be just fine. Plus, I'm pretty sure that I'll have to get innovative making sure there's ample room as it is, I can just imagine the struggle if I put them in bigger pots.
I appreciate your insight though, thanks brother

Killer Grow! Any Pest issues yet???

Thank you!!!
The only pests that I've noticed this far are the occasional grasshopper and like three different spiders (whom I've named and encouraged to feel at home. Hahah). I've taken a bunch of steps to mitigate pests since I had an overwhelming, half devistating issue last year. Rock gaurd, wire mesh, foliar spraying (neem oil and this other organic pesticide). With the pit being quazy inclosed, I think the squirrels and rabbits get nervous that they'll get trapped. I have a couple live traps ready to go out around the perimeter but haven't felt the need to bait em yet.

Hope the bugs are all good ones.. Saw a video of a guy using a Leaf Blower to Apply DE to his Trees. Think he had worms.:(

From what I've read, worms don't become an issue until the buds are pretty well formed; they burrow their way into the middle of one and eat it from the inside out while pooping and propagating. Preventative maintance will hopefully be my ticket to avoid those nasty buggers. I got some tomatoe horn worms on my tomatoes last year, was petrified they'd make it to my girls. After a close eye and zero compassion, those destructive bastards were gone- sparing all my ladies

I finally got around to getting a resivouir made and am pretty excited with how it turned out! I found out that my ladies drink exactly 33gals a day! They got proper nutes yesterday, for the first time.... and they are praying to the gods this morning!!!

I ran into my first issue of the season... the plants that were under the shade cloth ( where the three sheets overlapped) took away just enough light to endure a bit of flowering. I've since removed the cloths and have upped their nitrogen intake and am already seeing them take back off with vigor. It wasn't the presence of flowers that gave me the inclination, it was the single to three bladed leaves that made me give them a closer look. I did find the start of three or four flower sites but nothing of concern. Some beautiful pics to follow :)

Wait a minute, dude, did you dig that hole by hand? If so that's a pretty decent sized hole in the ground man LOL. Anyways, your setup is looking great! More than anything I wish I had enough land to install a greenhouse or something similar like you did.
