If it were me, I'd get the grassroots fabric one.

I'd get big fabric pots. Cheaper and the drainage is already there. Those would be cool for mixing soil, or a compost pile though.
BAS sent me a 65 gal fabric once that I didn't order. I think they were trying to send me a message.

Metal gets hot come summer. I’d go fabric or build a raised bed if it were me.

If you have room and built up fertile soil, nothing will beat just planting them in the ground. If you have to use pots as a last resort, then choose the option based on your local climate. I suggest impervious to evaporation pots that have lots of drainage holes in the bottom for most average north American climates. I tend to avoid cloth pots because I hate watering twice a day. Lol

I have several 50gal cement containers that were part of our "landscaping" design when the house was built in the late 70s. I've found them to be pretty good for maintenance/watering probably not practical for anyone just putting that out there.
I keep a mulch layer around the plants and I rarely need to water unless drought conditions.
I move them around with a tractor. They are heavy af.

I’m surprised this thread isn’t more popular. What thread is the most popular for organic users? Like grasscitys is the notill revisited thread.
I was going to ask what your guys favorite way to clone is? I’m confident using a 4x4 bed mixing my own soil and everything in betnween… I’m just new to cloning and want to keep some killer genetics

Maybe ask in a thread that's all about cloning?

I just thought I remembered years ago this thread being like the main one where a bunch of regulars congregated. I like it that way, people bouncing info back and forth.
Since you saw my question, any suggestions

I'm new to cloning, and been successful so far cutting the bottom of a plastic water bottle and dropping the clone in it after I've stuffed it in a Rapid Rooter Plug, drop a little mycorrihizae powder in for good measure and sit the whole thing on a heating pad. Keep it in low light, don't want it growing fast at this stage, I keep it by a window (restroom) where there's not that much direct sunlight and then the lights stay on till 10 at night. Maybe I've just been lucky, but this has been working out so far.

I've been having good results with root riot cubes, clonex, and a humidity dome. Don't fix what ain't broken I guess.
If you want to be super neglectful, you can leave a few rooters sitting in a cell tray with a bit of perlite in the bottom. Place the cells in a shallow tray of water so the perlite can wick it up, and you shouldn't have to touch the clones until they are rooted. With this method I managed to root a 2 foot clone without a dome, though the success rate seemed to be a bit lower than the rooters in the dome.

With cloning its clean clean clean - tools hands everything and keep things clean.
Dip cutting tools in alcohol every cut.
I use a cloning machine with water and a air pump. Clean that too with bleach between runs.
Dip cut tip in aloe gel from a live cutting of aloe.
dont cut leaf tips off that's bro stuff.

I really need to get into a regimen so I can keep my really good flowering plants around as moms.

With a short life span ... how does one do that? How long do the ladies live after a Harvest?

I meant take clones before flowering and then know which ones are great to keep long term.

Hard to say, I'll be happy if I can get my first clone to a harvest right now.
