Indoor turned Outdoor, Summer 08 (pics)

Whats up GC! Haven't got around to making any real threads due to changing situations. no camera etc.. but I'm finally back.

Kind of a long story here, I'll try to keep it short. I planted a bunch of plants (3) way back at the beginning of Feb. Indoors, they grew under 4 four ft. floro tubes and a bunch of CFLs. This is my 4th grow attempt by the way. One didn't make it, and the others got off to a rough start, weird problems, from the soil I think...Anyway, one died so I started a new seed March 15. At this point I had to aim for a complete finish by May 31, move out day. They were still real small so I left them in veg until TBA...ended up staying that way until now.

With all that out of the way...I now have 3 plants, all in 3.5 gallon buckets. 2 LSTd, one of the older ones and the young one. All bagseed btw. As far as the 2 older ones go, they start week 18 of veg on 6.12, the younger one will start Week 13 same day. They have been given MG 21-18-18, fish emulsion 5-1-1 and molasses. Anything else you wanna know just ask.

Finally, I'm in the Northeast area, currently getting quite a heat wave tomorrow will make it day 4, it did rain not too long ago, they seem ok when I checked on them today. Lots of mosquitos in my spot, seem to affect me more than my babies though. No real animals or pests as of yet. Ill throw up some pics, my next post will be pics from today.

Thanks for stopping by guys, and as always any thoughts/suggestions/anything is greatly appreciated!

PEACE

Week 16
First pic is my smallest plant, referred to as N1
2nd pic is my old plant that is LSTd, R1
Next is the best I have for the last one, V1
last one is all three

lookin good +rep

Went out to check on them today, about 100 degrees today....

They looked a little sad, fed them some 5-1-1/water and re-tied down the bigger plant that is LSTd. Its a pain in the ass to resize every pic so here's one for now. The big stem/budsite in the back broke in the transportation process so I don't know how much i should mess with it, didn't die or anything, still looks healthy (thankfully)


Yo Mike, thats for the props and stoppin by

Nice looking. If the broken stem does not die during this heat wave it will eventually heal twice as strong as before, like a gnarly looking knuckle. Good luck keep updating.
What's up with the bags around the pots? That black could bring the soil temp to an unhealthy level.

A few more pics for your enjoyment

biggest/older one (day before I re-LSTd), other big one and smallest, respectively

they were transported in the bags, and to hide the bright pots I just kinda wrapped around the pots for now, they're not IN the bags.

Here are some updated pics, taken about 5 min ago. The biggest one looks sad and droopy, gave her the rest of the water that was out there, maybe about a liter. Anyones thoughts?? That plant is the most temperamental when it comes to not having water, container problem possibly??? The other 2 look fine I guess. Really nice here the past 3 days or so high 70s low 80s. Is it possible to give them too much light?? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know why 1 looks sad.

The 2 oldest ones have been sexed btw, both females, smallest one never showed although I haven''t checked it lately. Stop by again soon for some new pics!


PEACE

no one? anyone?? bump, was away for the past few days, rained today gonna check up on them tomorrow.

Looking good. Make sure they have enough water to cope with the heat.

Thanks for stopping by Napkin

kinda rainy here, they all look pretty happy today, still a number of leaves yellowing and dying but no biggie I guess. Some of the pics came out weird I dunno why maybe weird lighting outside or something. Anyway, enjoy. Still week 18 for the older 2 and whatever week for the other one..week 13 I think.

1st pic - small one, 2nd pic - big LSTd one, 3rd pic - other big one

bummmmppp

planted the biggest one in the ground today, forgot how rocky soil is here, anyway, hopefully it till grow to its full potential now, it was a little root bound in the container.

yo hillbilly

I know I topped the big one thats not tied down a while back, it has 2 nice tops and another top coming in as well. The other big one was topped as well to give the lower branches time to catch up, worked really well. I intended to top the other one too but never got around to it I guess.

Hey guys, still quite a lack in responses here!

Rained alot today, everything looked good though. About halfway through week 19. I would kinda like to plant the big LSTd one in the ground, but how would I continue to have them tied down?? maybe some pot-cutting is in order? I dunno....anyone?

Sorry I can't help you with your question (I've never done LST'ing) but anyway that grow looks really good, nice work. Especially from bagseed. Good luck with the rest of this grow:hello:

nice grow man

Hey all, thanks for taking a look at my grow. Yea the bagseed came from a bunch of seeds I got a while ago. They have had a good ratio of female to male too, some of them have good genetics and seem to grow pretty big. Still no signs of sex on the smallest one, the others sexed way long ago around week 6 or so.

I guess this would be DAY 134 for the two oldest ones

Your plants are looking great. enjoy:hello:

Hey hillbilly. Yes I'm aware of how to LST in general it is a very simple concept, never done it without a pot top or rim to tie them to though. I used to use small string and tie down a bunch of branches then untie it and retie it closer to the top when neccesary. Then I started using metal twine kinda stuff, it was 1$ at walmart. This makes it much easier because you just untwist it, move it, retwist. Stakes is a good idea though, I'll look into that.

Thanks for takin a peek OldSkool

Weather is ok here. Hot and humid today, possible t-storms coming in soon, its been raining a shitload here, plants don't seem to mind it though.

nice plants man. If you have a tent or something with similar spikes you could try using them, they might work.

Well one of my plants got flooded yesterday after some t-storms. Went to check on them and it was surrounded by about 6-8" of water. I spent a good 1/2 hour bucketing/shoveling the water out and trying to get it a little better. I guess we'll see what the damage is in a day or 2. Also bought some 3in1 control, kills bugs, fungus and mites such.

peace

BUMP!

No pics yet, planted my other big plant in some promix ultimate container mix or something. Hoping she likes her new home. Still getting a little rain every afternoon so they should be good, the promix also has water crystals in it.
