Hello Gc, thanks for checking in. This year I am aiming for some giant plants and some giant yields. I popped three seeds on the first week of december and bought 1 clone on the second week of december. Just letting you guys know so later on people will have an idea of how long they've been alive. I will only be running 4 ladies Critical kush seed White critical seed Cheese seed Blueberry Pie clone They are vegetating indoors under a 400w bulb till around may. So far they're in 5 gallon soiless mixes. I plan to have 4 100 gallon grow bags ready with an organic mix by may. They just all recently reached their 7th node and so I went ahead and topped til the 5th node. I will wait till the 2 new colas reach their 3rd node and top back down to 1. (Idea i got from zombie) If I keep topping after that I will decide at a later time. I hope to have a greenhouse up by the time they're ready to go outside, but it's not a must. For now here is the most recent progress.
Finally got to the 2nd wave of topping today and felt like updating this thread. They're getting huge, makes me wonder if I'll be able to wait till may. And the pics...
Most definitely. Last month I bought 4 x 25 gallon air pots. I mixed up a basic organic mixture based off 33% perlite/peat moss and ewc/ancient forrest humus. Along with Garden tone, Dolomite Lime, Kelp meal, Crab shell, Alfalfa Meal, Neem Seed Meal, Blood Meal and Azomite Rock dust. Been cooking for the past 4 and a half weeks. All 4 ladies are still in the 5 gallon pots under the same veg lights. I started a quick tea brew to get it ready in time for the big transplant outdoors this saturday. The recipe is very simple I found off someone's post earlier today. All I'm using is earth worm castings and molasses. Anyway, these pictures are old and I will take more recent ones when they hit the outdoors.
