Outdoor hempy has always challenged me. Challenge accepted. These are clones from the plant in the ground next to them. I am using the Lucas formula to feed them and they are staying outside until I kill them or harvest them.
The heat gets me every time when it gets over 90 so yeah, probably watering everyday. I've always done it when I did not really have time to mess with it, I got time now so we will see.
i made the hole up high so they hold two gallons of liquid with no perlite in them. I am sure I'll be watering the crap out of them near the end.
Have you tried the hempy using vermiculite in the mix? It makes a big difference so you don't have to water as frequently. I use 1 part vermiculite, the course grade and 3 parts perlite, course grade. The perlite is no bigger than pea size. Hope they do well.
I had a gelato #33 in a five gallon hempy inside this year. When summer came I pulled it out of the bucket and put it in the ground. It was huge. It got root rot and almost died. Now it's the smallest of the bunch.
how long do you before frost out there, it's damn near chopping season in my neck of the woods looks good
It usually doesn't frost enough to hurt anything until around end of Nov, middle of December. Those are going to get pulled 11/1.
