Hell ya, thanks! I wish I knew the strain but these ones are bagseed. They're pretty stinky already though, thank god we have a lot of skunks around right now.
Finally got some of my shade cloth up. Won't be able to see the girls from above now. Can't wait till fall so I can show off some nice bud porn!!! /monthly_2013_05/image.jpg.0ee7dda279420305ce0d777d09721116.jpg
That's not much vertical height to work with. those plants are gonna get freaking huge out in the full sun in the ground. i had 7 ft. monsters in 5 gal. buckets by mid july one year.
:bravo: Ya I know, it was all I had available ATM. This will be a work in progress since I just got something going garden wise here. The soil needs serious attention, starting a compost pile, and trying to improve security as I go along. I just felt I had to get SOMETHING up to give airiel cover. I need to start some LST or some kind of training to keep them down, I have a feeling these are gonna get pretty big.
Took this pic this morning. The bottle is a 12 oz. I put it to judge size. Damn these three big ones are gonna be HUGE! /monthly_2013_05/image.jpg.d67171b0c7359bfc24960d693f43baba.jpg
opcorn2: Im tuned in man:thumbsup: This is the type of grow im looking to venture into now that i can't grow my indoor closet grows. Loving your videos
Thanks man! I'm seriously impressed with these plants, and I have them off in a side grow from the main garden. Seriously, all I did was dig one shovel scoop out and put the plants in the holes with some soil I made using mostly midnight gardens and a little of resin rubbers recipes tweaked a little for what I had available. I was half drunk when I mixed it and can't for the life of me remember how much of what I used. I have a photo of the ingredients in the first page but hell if I know what I did. I find myself just sitting there next to them most evenings just gawking with a spliff. Oh, not sure if anyone's ever noticed this before. I have tons of wild blackberry along the fence line and around the tree bases, I found ladybug larvae and some in transition ALL over them. So, I picked leaves with the transition ones and gathered some larvae up and put them with the plants, if any of y'all got berries around look for ladybugs! /monthly_2013_05/image.jpg.1bd0ec415cec5c385fe933c52058f589.jpg
Just a before hand apology, I didn't realize I kept sticking my finger over the lens. Plus, midnight, if you watch it take a look at the ground around the garden. That's the clay bullshit I was talking about. I may have to start hand watering cause the MJ doesn't need the sprinkler soaking as much as the vegetables. [YOUTUBE]G_zswnLbS-0[/YOUTUBE]
I looked at your video, those plants need food. I would not be hitting them with a sprinkler either. Your summers are similar to what we have here but your humidity is probably a little higher. I had mine on 2gph drippers, each plant got around 30 gallons of water a week at the peak of the summer. My spot also has clay in it. I have been working on it for a couple of years. Last year was the first year that I grew weed in there. I ended up digging holes and filling them with some tga supersoil I mixed up. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you sir, I was thinking I should feed soon, my tomatoes are shitty looking. I've also found a shit ton of what seem to be adult root aphids and or fungus gnats all over my tomatoes and zucchini. I've started to see some on the MJ as well, they are small and black with real thin wings and they just sit on the branches sucking the life out of them. Some have larger pear shaped orange bodies. I'm about to go get some sevin powder but am holding off cause I've got ladybug larvae and lady bugs transitioning everywhere. Now I've seen your 12' thread- remember my soil ingredient post:roffl:- and that got me going. I can't remember what if any feeder nutes you used and I don't want to really keep using the gh 3 part do you use organic or chemical nutes, or just the tga supersoil you made? Another bonus I found out was there are night crawlers EVERYWHERE in the garden dirt, lovin the loose'ish clay I guess. asssit:I'm not sure what the weather is like where you're at cause I never got farther north than the huge aquarium around that bay, but we get into the mid 90's up to 115 was last years high. With anywhere from 50-109% humidity starting around now. It's been nice so far, high 80's with 60 something RH.
Damn I'm an idiot sometimes, I forgot about the tea for feeding:BangHead: I need to get the ingredients and I'll be set. Got an extra pump, 2-10"air stone strips and 1-18" strip. A 3 or 4 gallon bucket, just need a lid for it. I need to go check your thread again midnight for the recipe.
Why do you need a lid to brew the tea? I don't use a lid, I just put it in a dark corner of my flower room.
I don't know where I got that lid thing from. I don't have a dark corner to really put it, but I do have a shed out back that's dark and warm. I think it could work. I'm about to put some hollow tubes or something around where the roots are, the clay has hardened up and isn't allowing the holes where I used organic soil and planted to drain. It's like the root mass is just staying soaked, the garden will be dry but the holes are still dark and pretty moist days later.
Yea, that's the bitch about growing O/D in Texas. Clay fucking sucks! I'm sure once your plants get bigger, you won't be having the watering issues you are now.
I saw some soil amendment products at Home Depot the other day, in wondering how well they do. I also have access to the compost pile I started at my pops. We got around 13 chickens and all the hay and shit plus whatever vegetable scraps we remember to put out goes in it. Last time I was there he turned it over and I'm talking dark dark rich looking soil, I'm betting its really high in N though with all the chicken crap in it. If I can get some and work it into the ground it can't do anything but help. And some sand I'll bet.
Thanks for the soil tips fellas, I still got to fix my tiller, but that will give me something to do in winter when I can't grow cause it gets into the 20's. coming from SoCal it was a trip the first time I experienced an actual 4 seasons. Instead of nice or hot. Gotta figure something out quick right now for the canopy, got a huge thunderstorm dropping tornadoes headed my way right now.
