Gorilla glue #4 outside Michigan.

I'm sure you've mentioned it but what nutes are you using? Mine are fading a bit so I'm gonna switch it up to something other than fish emulsion 5.5.5, was trying it just to see if it would carry the plant through

I use Fox farm big bloom, fox farm tiger bloom, botanicare cal-mag, then PH the water to 6ish. Fox farm bloom nutes have no nitrogen and the cal-mag is 2-0-0 so it helps it from yellowing as well as adding calcium and magnesium. I feed 5 days a week, rain or shine. It is directly planted so I'm loosing food to the ground rather than being in a pot. I started with crap soil. Next year will be organic. It's just a personal stash so I'm not bothered by organic vs none but organic will be nice to just add water on the daily.

I don't typically run organic but just wanted to switch it up this summer and see the difference with running that, I also run teas through it but not often, once every couple of weeks. Thanks for the info, also I have never ph'd the outdoor plants but do maintain 5.6ish for my indoor trays :).

That's is a MASSIVE STALK. I only wish one day I can door my outdoors like that. I am a 3 yrs grower indoors...but a 1st time outdoor grower. So I made alot of mistakes trying out growing organic. I hope to learn for next year I planted mine as little clones on the 10th of june. We had 2 late frosts in michigan by me the last week of may and the 8th of June. So mine are only like this. 32" tall. And 32"wide. I have to keep then below 6"due to the neighbors and "being seen from a structure". Amazing work. I will be pushing for those insane results next year

I live in CO weed will germinate at 33 degrees. The stuff about temperature is BS.... The temp variation here is 30 degrees day/night. U have to know what kind of soil u have....... I made so many mistakes causa that. I'm a stubborn bastard who doesn't deny reality. Here the soil is a bit different all over. Mine has high Ca which means the PH is to low. To cure it add compost. Compost lowers ph. Long story short if other plants grow then weed grows without adding anything. Remember the sun is more powerful than any light. I let my plants outside into late Oct. the temp can go down to 28 degrees in fall fan leaves drop. the best time for resin prod is the 2nd week of October..... YOU have to pay attention even if u are stoned. I planted a plant from a QT container in late June it was 8 ft last week. Most roots are at the surface so water everywhere u are not in CA they do things different. This year my plants are flowering 2-3 wks early maybe because I held off on the N. There's always something. DONOT BELIEVE WHAT U READ. MOST OF THE BOOKS ARE BASED ON BS. WHICH PART IS CORRECT ?

I agree with some of what you said. yes cali growers do it differently and Co growers will have to do it different then us. Everyone has different climates and humidity. The great lakes cause odd weather for us.
I sprout mine in Feb but can't put them out to early. I've lost plants due to first frosts. Yes they can survive many late frosts as long as it isn't hard frosts.
As far as ph goes..... it's not about just growing weed... it's a plant of course it will grow. It's about pulling as much yield as possible from each plant. Too high or too low of ph will cause nute lock out.

I agree, I PH my water and nute mix every time even though it's direct planted. Rain is just a bonus for me but I still feed after it stops.
 
So I'm trying to count my chickens before the eggs are layed. Any weight guessing for my one little baby. She's about 5'6" around today. I'll take all guesses.
 
It's almost the exact progress as my OhZone, it's amazing from day to day how fast the buds develop. You have a great looking plant. I'm already looking forward to next summer lol. I grow indoors as well but it's more satisfying for me to get those huge healthy plants for free and not use mega amounts of power :).
