Good luck with your grow. Interested in seeing what your Mekong High does
Thanks man. I haven't had any true Thai weed in 30 years, never forget that smell. Hope this has some resemblance to the old days. I have a pretty tightly controlled GH, I should be able to finish it.
For probably 10 years back in the middle seventies I had a connection to some killer Thai. I'd show up at my buddy's place and he would bust out a bale at a time. I'd get to wade through it and make up my own lbs. The plants must have been huge.
You get to see anything like that where your at?

Hey HR thanks for digging me out. I should update with some pics. I'm not good at keeping up on this forum. Been pruning back everything to keep it within reasonable height.
Got the GH down to 3 plants...just now getting them wrapped up.

Mind sharing what sort of soil amendments you use? The color of those plants is so much more vibrant and bright green then mine! Maybe seed genetics help too I used clones. Pretty plants!

I listed my soil amendments in post #34, most were Down to Earth 5lb boxes.
I truly believe it's all in the soil and the attention you pay to your gardens. A good organic PM program, your set.
My camera tends to brighten things up a bit more than the eye sees, but thanks.

Been while since I updated. The growth on everything the last week or so has been really good, as I'm sure it has been for everyone. I started the Bangi Haze seeds April 1st, a month behind all of the others. It sure shows in the difference in size. They will not be nearly as big in stature as the others. Just noticed this morning the Bangi are showing pistils. Between the 3 should get a decent harvest. This is supposed to be an early finishing sativa dom strain.
I had my GSC in the GH from the start then realize soon I'm gonna be outta room quick so I hacked it pretty much in half thinking that would help (dunno what I was thinking). The other 3 in the GH exploded and then the GSC got drug outside. Next year only 2 plants in the GH.

Everything is looking great. I had been following your thread, but then it got lost in the mix some how. {I'm blaming it on weed} Looking forward to your big finish.

Had to dig deep to find my thread. Everything is on the stretch and has been for a couple weeks. Probably 2 full weeks ahead of previous years...strange but I'm happy. A few pics...

Bangi / Pineapple Chunk in the back. This Bangi has already caught up to the PC. Might get a couple 2+lbers this seasonBangi-PC.JPG

Over the top shot...I've been pulling and stuffing tops out the sides of the supports. The White Widow finally slowed the stretch.White Widow.JPG

Gotta say everyone's outdoor is looking great. Can't wait to see everyone's finish.

Beautiful looking grow @slow drawl -- some really healthy happy looking plants!!!

Hell ya!

'Probably 2 full weeks ahead of previous years...strange but I'm happy'
I've only got one year of outdoor behind me for comparison... but I took a LOT of pictures. When I compare this day last year with today, meh, all looks about the same -- except for one plant, and its about twice as big as it was last year (same strain planted in the same place in the yard). It's the only one that had none of my "experimenting" done to it. Lesson learned: next year, just put them in the ground and leave them alone! LOL

Only getting one shot at an outdoor per year makes it a looooong learning curve. Still lots to learn.

Thanks man...I'm retired and get to pay a lot of attention to the girls. I'm far ahead of last year at this time. I'm thinking that growing from seed instead of clones and richer soil this season is the trick.
It's gonna be an awesome harvest. Though I'm already dreading the trimming, rough on this old arthritic body. Might have to rent a machine this year...:grin:

I'm unemployed, so I have lots of time on my hands. Tending my girls is often my favorite part of my day, if I ever find work I'm going to miss all this time with them. And speaking of hands, I get tendonitis so I feel your pain, at least to some degree. We take staggered harvests to try and stretch it out a bit (I even do that with my indoor). From what I understand there are plenty of experienced trimmers out there who will "work for bud", so you might be able to barter for some help?

For me this harvest has an incredibly huge spread in terms of potential quantity, depending on the weather and the wind. It could be barely enough to get by, it could be more than I know what to do with. I won't know until its all over. Any grow out here can be like a buddhist sand mandala, I care for it through the whole process, and then come fall the whole thing can be wiped away.
