The plants were fantastic
I waited a little while to review to make sure how they did but they are thriving. They will stay healthy in their tubes for a long time (4 weeks for me) if needed as long as they are watered, I watered morning and evening. I missed 1 or 2 days of watering (can't remember sorry) and they wilted but once watered, came back as normal. My tubes were covered with 30% shade cloth. They continued to get new growth in the tube under the shade cloth before I planted which was fantastic.
