If you want your seeds to grow big, start way earlier. I started my seeds in December of last year, and they have been outside since March 20!

This may sound crazy but I don't want them to get any bigger then this. It is hard enough to to hide these from neighbors eyes. If I lived on a few acres with no neighbors near by I would be going for 12 -15 footers ;-)

Yeah I'm like damn. Those training day bushes go crazy. And really the only issue I have had at all was battling bugs but I got those under control. I've done indoor lots of times but I must say I'm really enjoying the great outdoors

Yeah, growing indoors you are very limited. But, outdoors. It's a whole other level, your potential goes as far as your own imagination.

View attachment 3473022 I'm kind of surprised for this to be my first solo outdoor grow I wasn't expecting them to blow out like this!!! Can't wait till harvest time

You and me both! Looks so good in the light, thanks for the new pic.

My girls were just upgraded to greenhouse status! first night: dehumidifier kept us at a steady 50% all night and beyond, avoiding cool night time temps and the increasingly ridiculous morning dew and high humidity. Conversely, I can seal some vents and keep the daytime humidity from getting so low (mites have definitely been loving the drought conditions). Nothing is flowering yet but we're damn close.

I'm so jelly, this is where I want to be, and within five years. Looks great! Also, can you explain what it is you have your plants in? obviously not the smart pots, but what those are in??

The big one is in a smart pot that was dragged down into a 2' trench after she got way bigger than I anticipated :bigjoint:
The rest are in 25 gallon plastic containers that are wrapped with chicken wire that I stuffed with straw. This was to defeat the crazy summer sun, unprecedented heatwaves and their relentless heating of the black plastic & my girls' precious roots. (hopefully all past us now)
That all lives in a cheap pop-up "greenhouse" that is not made to last but has an insanely awesome 10' peak... I figure I can throw a tarp on it if the waterproofness fails in the coming rainy season. The greenhouse is also light enough to pick up and lift off the plants if needed / if we have another shitty heatwave.

Very nice. I'm still trying to figure out what I want in terms of materials. Maybe a poly.

hey guys this is my first grow and its outdoors. the clones are purple cream and ive been feeding them the Botanicare products. what id really like to do for next year is water them through a topsoil feeding instead of mixing food on a daily basis. i would greatly appreciate any info on what you have used for outdoor grows and nutrients that break down over a 30 day period of time so i can just water then replace topping each 30 days. thanks and continued success with your grows :)
