    *edited* for info
    im in cali (cen/socal)

    seeds; 3 feminized bando from swampboyseeds and 5 fem cherry fucker from cannarado genetics
    only 3 of each are on site now

    water is dechlorinated for atleast 24 hrs ahead of feeding my tap water is high in ph almost 9.0 so I always ph down with white vinegar to between 5.5 and 6.5 (close to 6.0 as I can get it usually)
    plants have had nothing but water and vinegar

    top dressed once with neem seed meal when first put outside

    every plant either has a broken arm or a split main stalk from me stretching or trying to bend branches some both lol (im learning/learned)

    I plan on making a tea soon of alfalfa sprouts or a molasses and castings blend of some sort (open to suggestions!)

    plants are showing signs of sex (pestles) I think..... I don't think they are flowering now but I don't know..... with my dates posted..... any advice would be great

    my main question would be..... did I start too early? at any stage? germination? or taking em outside? lmk what you think!

  3. Are you toppin all of them 1 time? Did you lst any of them?

    Damn they look beefy! This is going to be a bulky year my friend!
     
  4. Impressive, especially for your first grow!

    Have you considered mulch? I feel like it is an integral part of any organic soil. The microherd doesn't like direct sun. It needs to be cool and moist. You'll end up watering less, too. I use barely straw. A solid 3 inches.

    Looking great though.

    just went outside and took some stalk pics for funzies 35151248_795726533970551_9074515247833808896_o.jpg 35071130_795726793970525_8742415809432780800_o.jpg 35051407_795727047303833_6519504164823760896_o.jpg

    not all stakes are staked inground.....some are just hanging for weight
     
  7. topped 3-4 times already....maybe doing 1-2 more not sure yet
    as far as lst im not too sure...im noob I know what it means just not sure if im doing right to call it lst lol
     
  8. I have....I was planning on clover....but just haven't done it.....straw is an option I could do as well..... thanks for the reminder lol
     
  9. it hit 100 plus here today and will hit that temp a lot (up to 120)..... is 5 gallons of water too much each day? can I feed em once in the morning and once at night(2.5 gal)? they don't have much run off at all.... just give em as much as they want?
     
  10. As far as lst. I would call using the stakes doing lst. Just not for the upper parts of the tree. Minor lst is more what i would call it. Food is not water. Water breaks down the food in the soil. Damn 100 degrrees no wonder those biddies are looking fine. If it doesnt look like its had too much. Then it hasnt. I would try using a drip system for your trees. Attach a water bottle upside down poke a needle hole and let it water itself for a longer period.

  16. did I scrog too high??? didn't like the rope style net for scrog….probably going to scrog 2 more plants….. plant are doing great and growing like crazy..... took a few pics of some yellowing leaves, just wanna make sure its normal for the deeper inner leaves to get yellow and die off(no sun), and I'm doing justice by puling em off..... and that its not a deficiency....once again thanks for taking the time to look and any advice or comments are very welcomed!
