nice plants man !

Hey Homer hows it going. Dont know if you remember me, S12fever...from NZ.

Still got the simpsons figurines i see...and still got the blood of a true grower! Good on you.

Looking good man. I've also got a plant out the back growing at the mo, this time it's in the garden not a pot...it's an IncaSpirit crossed with Mr. Nice, both indicas. Its about the same height as yours maybe a little smaller...really healthy though. [edit] i just saw the last pics you posted and it is no where near as big...i was comparing to the first pics aww lol

I probably wont be making another grow journal but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread checking for progress and comparing to my wee plant may take a few snaps when it gets a bit bigger and goes into flowering.

God damn am i going to be pissed off if it turns out Male...I only grew one from seed...

Anyway cya!

THe grower from across the sea. Yes i do remember you. Good to hear your at least growing one. How much did you end up yielding the last grow.
Well i'm off to get some FUSH and CHUPS.... so i'll see you later. I really am, i wasn't just taking the piss. Have a good one mate.

How's it all going?

[Homergrower]

Well i decided to give u guys and gals a little peek into my progress.

I cut it back to 5 plants due to some laws i recently discovered, so here they are.

I cut the tops off every few weeks, now they are in budding they are being left alone.

I've stripped the bottom 1/2 foot of each plant as u can see in the photo. this is becasue well no light gets to this part of the plant due to the dense canopy, and it also helps controlling any pests that like to come up the stem.

I'm using advanced nutrients, 2 part sensi bloom right now, and the plants are loving it. I'm seeing it growing about 2-3 centimeters per day with the sensi-bloom and i strongly recommend it...see www.advancednutrients.com for more.

Thanks for watching, feedback is nice too. so leave me a message

Thanks for the update! Seems like it's fairly well into its budding. How long do you think it'll take until its ready to harvest from here?

[Homergrower]

i did two last grow and they were ready and dry just in time for 420. so i'm predicting April 20th, about 10 weeks to go. thanks for viewing.

It's not easy to administer CO2 during and outdoor grow so i've started this method.

By the way, 5 girls. I dunno what it is but i have a record with females... no sausage fest here. thanks for watching................

Hey. your plants are looking really healthy. We definatly need some of your weather over here cos its been one rainy,windy day after another. How many weeks since it started budding?

Mine is doing good too. its been almost 2 weeks since stigmas first appeared and its over 4ft and healthy as.

Had a bit of a problem with some strong wind a day after it started to flower....the main stem right at the bottom where i first topped it split right down the middle about half a foot...the leaves didnt go droopy or even get stressed even though it was split in half. jeez! luckily it didnt dry out the middle of the stem. had to resort to tying it with some string and panty hose, and securing it to a bamboo stick.

Dont want to hijack your thread or any thing :P but here are some pxs

[Homergrower]

the 5 are budding at different rates. I have one thats about 3 weeks in, 2 thats are about a week inand the one in the biggest pot at the back only just started. Thanks for stopping by again. Nice to hear from someone i remember. hehehe cheers.

[toke_tons]

looks good so far. i think ill pull up a chair on this one

[Homergrower]

well if i can offer some up front advice for growing outdoor in pots.

I used alot of perlite in the soil mix, about 40%, and the plants love me for it.
I've held back from watering as much this year and the plants love me for it (as hard as that is to do)
When i repotted the plants into bigger containers i mixed in a few good handfuls of Blood & bone. This kept the plants from yellowing this year, like they did last year.

IF there is anything at all i can help with please hit me up as i'm a plethora of outdoor growing knowledge

My biggest issue is a height issue, which is a good issue to show how healthy they are.

[AugustWest]

excellent job man.. i agree your plants do love ya

[Homergrower]

hey everyone guys and gals, hopefully more gals.....

Hope u are all well, i'm going to very very good soon... as u can see.
they are all doing well on advanced nutrients and can't wait till they are ready. Hopefully will have some dry for 420. ENjoy !!!
