Good thing about pot is they are mobile so you have the option of moving around and getting the most light. In the ground though to me the plant just seems to grow ...with less problems I usre FF soil in the hole and they grow nice and fat. Im in my 2nd year ..just a Jr at growing so take it for what its worth. Good luck

You should definitely invest in some quality nutrients bro, let me tell you!
Last season I started 6 plants off in 8" pots, then transplanted 3 of them into 5 gallon pots when they were big enough. I didn't use any nutrients and they were veging for about 3 months. They ended up being about 1'-3', yielding about maybe 100 grams total = roughly 3-4oz dry - from a total of 6 plants.
This season I invested in the nutrients and started off the plants directly in the 5 gallon pots, also decided to use the Ocean Forest soil from Fox Farms. They've been in the soil since the beginning of April and they've ALL already surpassed the TOTAL growth of last season! Each plant is about 3'-4' tall with about 3 times as many bud sites as last season!
Clearly the nutrients made the difference! You'll be glad you invested, trust me! I picked up 3 bottles of nutrients, one for veg called Grow Big, one for preflower called Big Bloom, and one for flower called Tiger Bloom, all Fox Farm products as I try to stay consistent, and each one cost about $15.00 a bottle.
Hope that helped man, happy growing!
Here's a link, all 3 for $50.00ish on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Farm-FNT405-Nutrient-Trio/dp/B00374RBCG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1276559553&sr=8-11

I am using FF Ocean Forest mixed with FF Happy Frog and I am loving it so far. There are enough nutes in the soil for probably another few weeks before I go buy some but I have been foiler feeding once a week with some Thrive Alive B1 Green. I also decided to just let them veg out in my back yard. When its time to flower I will bring em inside. All i have right now are some Floros so I figured the sun was better. At first it was just for a few hours a day now they are out 24/7 and seem to love it. One more week and they are getting transplanted from red plastic cup to 5 gallon grow bags. There are all about 1' tall and only 3 weeks old except 1, its still recovering from nute burn(to much in the soil).
Only one of your supplements, Big Bloom, is organic, the other two being chemical based.

Go organic and only use the big bloom. Look into making tea's of kelp, worm castings, alfalfa and consider top dressing with guanos and seed meals as well.
