I am plannimg to grow 1 plant in a 25L pot with no bottom in placed on a 30L growbag with a drip feed system. In the greenhouse.
Does this sound like it will work?

why leave it in the greenhouse ? cut the bottom out place it on worked soil and let the hair roots grow in, if you have to move it your only cuting the hair roots, it my slow its growth a little byt it will take back off again. id like to take creditfor that but duane gave me the idea, just passing it on. GOD BLESS, GLEN
