Up potting complete the roots were ok better than the last up potting. It held together and plenty of roots all around the outside. Watered them in well. Staked them away from the root ball. I will have pictures soon.

No pictures of the root ball only have two hands. And yes, I use Mykos. That stuff will last forever. Now get them on a feeding schedule the best I can. Find out where in the yard they like best and put them there while I can.Looking good bro did you use the Myco? No pictures of the rootball? CL

Nice Geopots, I only have one but I can already see the difference; roots get way more oxygen.
Looks good!
Are you going to keep those fabric pots on the ground? Let the roots go through the bottom?

Once I find where they like best I was going to just leave them on the ground. Is that a bad idea?

I do not know first time using them for final pots.
Yeah, they can. I keep mine on pot elevators. Keeps the bottom roots air pruned.
If you leave them on soil those roots can go down, and you can end up with a monster plant.
If you're not planning on moving them it's not a problem.
Eventually the bottom of the bag can be weakened from the roots growing through, but the bags wear out eventually anyway.

Thanks Mel I had no idea that would happen. They will get big enough in the 15 alone.

Thanks, Greenvein It will start to come back to me from now on. I had a lot of help last year the only problem is I lost my logbook I made last year. I know I had a lot of notes and advice Shed and others gave me. My wife did something with it but I should have kept a better eye on it. I may still find it. Gotta keep an eye out for bugs and Powdery Mold and get the feeding/watering down.

Great looking upcans Keith! I'd say there's enough perlite in there for aeration being outside in cloth pots. With more perlite you might end up watering twice a day by late August. 
If you see them start to droop in a few days just water where the original rootball is, since there is plenty of moisture in the rest of the soil where there aren't roots yet.

I have roots growing through mine all the time from getting wet from feeding. CL
