True... so true...I've heard...once you go black you never go back...
I have a few 15's and 20's sitting here gathering dust.. I may toss some clones in them and see what's up.
S'Manta - Definitely hit up those smartpots. If I am not in the ground I am in a smartpot or geopot!

Now I need to go to GB's link to see how many bags of soil I'll need.
My Purple Urkel may go in a SP, AK47, Purple OG and Bubba Kush. So, that's 4 SP's. I'll get an extra one, too.

I think that you are going to love them and really enjoy growing with them. I won't go back to plastic ever!

I think I'll love them, too. I just need to figure out where to put them because I think they might be hard to move...I'd have to hitch up my horse to move them...lol.

Depending on the size you aren't going to be moving them. I had a bitch of a time moving a 25 in flower under a tarp during a storm. LOL

True, anything larger than 20 gallon is stationary (for me).

Holy crap...I'd better pick really good spots. This is getting serious.
Someone said they put lime in the soil for pH? I want to get this right, this time. Organic soil, worm casings?? I have Maxsea nutrients, cal/mag and really good horse manure. Horse manure is great, it isn't hot like cow manure.
I'd better go back to newbie central....Boohoo.:'( :'( :'(

Don't worry about any lime or other soil additives. Just buy happy frog, and feed MaxSea and cal-mag...

Thank you, Mr Sunshine. I found some at a hydro store in Visalia.
Very reasonably priced.

I'm glad your going with the smart pots, your plants will thank you. Happy Frog Soil by Fox Farms is a better choice than Kellogg's Patio Plus, but twice the price. If on a budget use the patio plus, or 50/50 mix of the two.
You can use black smart pots, just that the tan ones will stay cooler. You can wrap a white sheet around a black smart pot to keep it cool.
