Hey y'all the season is in full-swing. Got my ladiesin the ground and grow bags. This pic was taken Feb 9th with 2x400w MH lamps and a T5 over in the corner that was a bit dark. Germinated the seeds Jan 1st in paper towels then planted them in 4" pots with 707 soil. Eventually they went into 1 gallon pots. We have: Orange Punch x Sour Diesel Sour Banana Sherbet Chem4 x Skunk #1 Big Perm [OG#18 x (LA Ultra Kush x Chem4 Alien OG)] Super Star Dawg 2.0 And last but not least... AK47 x (Chem4 x Skunk #1)
April 27th and they went outside because it was an unseasonably warm spring. Lots of rain but also lots of sunshine. You're thinking "shit that's way too early! They'll start to bloom!"
The cage is to keep the vermin deer from eating them. Yes the 400w MH lights ran overnight even on super super rainy nights. Some mornings the ballastsand bulbs would literally be draining streams of water. No exploded bulbs or burned up ballasts. That's he nice thing about old school coil ballasts.
Started getting them in bags and in the ground the first week in May. I put CFL lamps next to each plant to keep them from blooming.
My soil is a mixture of 1/3 recycled soil from the previoust tenants grow sites (hardly any perlite... Looked like bulk soil from a landscaping yard), 1/3 reclaimed soil from friends who grow indoor (707, Lucky Dog, Happy Frog, etc), and 1/3 fresh 707 soil
The Super Star Dawg is quite heavy on the sativa hybrid side. Lots of space between nodes. Not the biggest leaves. Very skunky even in veg.
