Namewasdallas 2012 Grow Same strain's as last year

Hey everyone, I'm back for my 3rd or 4th year doing a grow journal. I've learned allot over the past years. So this year I've got genetics from my two best plants last year that did amazing the biggest buds I've ever got and held up to the wett damp and snowy climate. These plants did great compared to my two clones I had that got ate alive by mold, only got a bowl pack worth of mold from each plant and they yielded over a quarter pound each


Anyways we've been having a rough spring where I live, with temps freezing at night so this year I said fuck it and couldn't wait for the weather to get good enough to start them outside so I got them under 2 26watt 6500kv CFL's running 24/7. Their about 3 weeks in Veg and im just waiting another week before I put them outside. I've already began topping the one's I can because these plants love to be topped and will branch out into a nice looking shrub.

I'm going to grow in the same spot I did last year, It's about the size of a football field and it's blocked in with a 25-45ft dense tree line all the way around and has weeds and brush 5-6ft tall for camouflage. I go into my spot and clear some 8x8 area's and dig up holes large enough to put a 5 gallon bucket in the ground. I Use the 5gallon buckets to help keep the slugs and critter's out but here's the trick, I cut off the bottom of the bucket maybe 5-8in up so that the roots don't get root bound and the plants get huge. The nice thing about using the buckets is that when I go to feed them the nutrients don't leach out into the surrounding ground around the plant and it hit's the main root ball first.


Here's a picture of the plants budded out from last year which I think is a Kush strain and if I can find a pic of the Sativa/Hybrid.






Will put up picture's tmrw of current 3 week old plants. Those two pictures are just teasers of what's to come

looks like some nice buds. looking forward to this years grow man

Thanks man, those buds were the best buds I've ever grown and the climate I grow in is harsh towards the end of the grow season and these plants made it without missing a beat. I actually had to shake snow off the buds at one point cause we had got snow and they held up fine.

I'm waiting on my stupid phone to send the pictures to my email so I can upload them onto here its just being retarded I sent them once last night and once this morning and they still havent shown up..

Pictures I promised of the little babies going under the CFL's 24/7 3 weeks into it and they have been topped. Small cabinet I had bought to store my car cleaning products and would work great to do a mirco grow with a little work, I could of installed a small computer fan for a intake and exhaust fan on the back side of it and run more CFL lights, I currently have a 4 or 5in fan going in there and the shelf's are adjustable so you could scrog a pant out or easily do a sea of green and pull a ounce out. Maybe I'll try it once These plants go outside this week

So I've been busy but I got them outside now and transplanted them into 3 gallon buckets at my garden untill they get big enough to go to the new location. I always place them between all the tomato plants to Camo them in. Now that their in larger buckets they will start taking off like a bat outta hell because they were root bound in those beer pong cups I had to use inside. One thing I need to do to the new buckets is drill more holes in them.

I picked up some top soil for lawns which was peat and some other shit and not really potting soil, I mixed some pertlite and some dirt out of the garden and made my own mix of soil so there's no nutrients to burn or kill these young plants. I'm going to lay down some bat guano and start giving more of a feeding then I have been and see how they take to it.

Stay tuned for more pic's

went and checked on them this morning we've been having super hot 80+ days with lots of sun and their loving it. They have stretched out a couple inch's over the past day now that their not root bound. I'm happy they stretched out some so the lower sites will get light because I kept them a inch from the light inside to stay compact now I want a big bush.

I have high hope's I can pull a half pound from each plant this year, I got over a quarter pound last year I would have got more but I didn't have them in the ground and they got root bound in the 5gallon buckets that they were in. I think they topped out at around 5 and half feet tall so I figure a nice sized hole back filled with my own soil mix will allow me to hit 7-8ft and these plants loved to be topped and fill in nicely with super dense bud's like in the photo above with amazing buds.

I'll update with some picture's mid week so yall can see the difference in a week's time

looks nice, i like your garden. you should be able to take care of them nicely there if you can grow in the open.
with the bat guano if you didn't already pre-mix it in your soil before hand i would suggest making guano tea with it. they will love it garanteed.
put a tomatoe tower over each plant for support when young. then when they are budding the same will support the heavy plant. i have have many broken branches and even a whole plant blown over when realy heavy. plus it will look more like just another tomatoe.
hope summer treats you well, both of us. check out my journal sometime and give some feedback bad or good something constructive -peace

are they staying there? i just noticed the pots.

They are going to be moved to another location once they get taller, I usually let them grow 2-3ft and top them out before I move them to a field I've been growing in for the past 3 years now. The field is a better location because where I have them placed they get sun from sun up to sun down and the ground there is always damp. I learned last year if I cut the bottom of the buckets off and place them in a hole I dug and back filled with soil they will basically stay watered. It's hard to haul out enough gallons of water to water 7 plants I learned last year cause I left some in 5 gallon buckets and I was there every 3 days to water them but the ones in the ground I didn't need to water but just feed.

I got cages I built that I left out in the field I put around the plants to help support them and to spread out the limbs on the plants. I usually tie the limbs down to spread the plant apart so it grows more like a scrub and not a tree and produce more buds.

The bat guano I do make a tea with at times to feed, I didn't mix any in the soil because they were to young and it being 12-13-2 I didn't want to give them nutrient burn and I already feed them with a liquid nutrient thats 4-5-3. I always sprinkle a some at the top of the bucket so when it rains it soaks into the soil and they get a nice little feeding.

Here's a picture that's a week and half old, there doing great

you don't like to use water polymers? for water retention, they do work well. i don't use them for ganja myself but do for container gardening with veggies and annuals.

i would with ganja but as long as they have deep holes i rarely need to water as it rains weekly usually.

Whats a water polymer?

I had a idea last year to catch rain and have it funnel thru some tubbing and have some Y splitters to branch off to my plants and have them hooked up on a drip feeder.

But I really need to grow in the ground because it's cheaper all around not having to buy large pots to grow in, and also saves on gas and time not having to drive there often to water and reduces the chance of getting busted at the site. There's been some close call's late at night on this dead end road in a development kids or people will go down to the end and park behind these two empty tractor trailers sitting there and smoke pot or drink or have sex and I'll creep around in the field and Keep a eye on them till they leave or sneak out if I can. I prolly have another year of growing there before they start building houses.

I'm going to check on them tmrw in our garden and see how there doing it's been a few days. I'll snap some pic's if they look bigger.

So these plants have taken the hell off there almost 2ft tall and Like I said earlier I learned last year to top these plants as much as possible because they love it. I have one runt of the bunch but it's getting there. The other 6 are doing great and getting super bushy

Ill try and snap some pictures today, I need to water them so they don't get heat stroke we got a heat wave of 90-100 degree weather right now, I've been feeding super heavy with my Bat Guano 12-13-3 or something like that along with a liquid feed of 4-5-2.

I need to come up with some 5 gallon buckets ASAP because there starting to get rootbound. I may hit up home depot and buy some for cheap and spray paint them Camo to blend in with the greenery

So I did some serious work today in 100 degree weather spent 4 hrs, enlarging holes in the garden to counter sink the 5 gallon buckets I picked up and sprayed Camo to blend in. I also had to cut holes in the bottom of the buckets for drainage and mix my own soil. I'm not sure if I like this soil mix I made it doesnt seem to drain very well at all because I had tried using some Top soil in the mix along with lots of pertlite and some peat moss and other shit. But at the final location where I'll have them placed if the water can retain in the bucket for a little longer then last year's soil mix I shouldnt have to worry about the plants dying from lack of water in 2-3 days.

They were rootbound to hell the root's looked super healthy big thick white roots entire plant came right out and the rootball stayed together for the most part. I did have time to take any picture's as I was dying in the fucking heat.

So I got the last plant in the 5 gallon bucket this morning and snapped some pictures for ya guys. There getting huge quick almost time to move them to there new home out in the field.

Sorry I havent updated the pic's in awhile I've been busy chillin with this girl I met and shits been going great, we've been getting lots of good weather where I'm from and the plants are loving it. Their not showing any signs of sex yet which is a bummer, I'm hoping that there all females for the fact that I dont think they were pollinated by any males last year but the females them selfs produced a few seeds to drop so they would grow again next year and coming from a female it's self should mean I should have female seeds from what I was told by people, guess we will know within the next month.

The 5 gallon buckets are doing great as always holding more water for the plants so it doesnt dry up and needed to be watered every other day.

Only thing bad is my spot I've been growing at they got alot of houses being built and they made this dirt road to dump soil on that goes right to the tree line that divides where I put my plants in the field and from where the main road is in this development. The one good thing about this road is I can walk right back to my plants and not worry about making a trail through the thick brush in the field, I'm going to go scout it out this weekend at night and see if I can place them farther out then I did last year. I got a field the size of a football field that's all blocked in by tree line and the interstate and the weeds back there are about 10ft tall I always clear a 10x10 area or larger with a machete to place them in.

Anyhow here's some new picture's, Idk how good they are as I got a new droid razar cause I killed my droid X so I guess we will find out.

Best of luck this year. They're coming right along nicely

Thanks Buzz I think there coming along great and will produce great yet again. I was at my buddys yesterday and he hooked up me with some genetics's from when he ordered seeds they gave him some random extras.

I got 1 Fem seed Called Jack from CH9 Seed Company

I was thinking of planting it this year but its way to late in the season to start from seed, So next year will be the first time I've ever grown from something I know exactly what it is and let alone its a Feminized seed

Here's a link to the one seed he gave me, It sounds like it will be some nice bud just not a heavy yeilder like some seeds I've seen listed with 1400grams when this is like 250-450g

CH9 FEMALE SEEDS Jack fem ch9 jack,female seeds, feminized seeds, graines cannabis femelles, [] - - : Ch9 female seeds, feminised seeds, graines de cannabis

The plants look nice man
Was wondering whats the strain u have in your lover left corner showing in these last 3 pictures?
Could be an interesting strain to hide in the bushes of more urban places cause it looks diff than the rest i've seen so far.
