Is The Ground More Forgiving Than Pots?

i ask because it seems people that grow indoors have had problems when using only the tiger bloom for flowering. i've seen others that had had great results using only tiger bloom.

basically, i'm wondering in general, what would be optimal for a plant as far as ease of dealing with nutrient problems(lockout/etc.) -being in the ground or in 5 gallon buckets? would being in the ground help nullify any ph imbalance to a degree?

you have to realize that plants have been growing for millions of years and know how to do it outside by themselves. If you find a spot where grass grows green, and weeds grow wild, then you really dont need to add much fertilizer. The PH is naturally balanced, and theres microbes established in the soil.

Answer to your question: in the ground, the plant has unlimited potential, in a pot, the plant is in your hands for the most part.

well, in a pot you have MUCH more control, You can flush it if it has problems from overfeeding, where in the ground it is much harder to fix problems. The other guy here is right about it being easier to mess up in a pot, but it's also easier to fix.
