Colorado Outdoor Grow

[Grow2jam]

Hey! Never posted a grow before so figured I'd start this year! We had golf ball size hail destroy my babies after 3 weeks started 1 new one for now. I have an indoor grow and have been doing Big Bud Autos for the last year(had an insane deal online) but outdoors is big girl time! Started a white widow(MSNL) mamma inside. Took 6 clones first and lost them to the hail. Had 1 left and moved it outside(after hardening it off).

Light: Sun
Soil: Diy Mix
Pot: 20gal
Nutrients: Compost teas

Soil is sunshine #4, ewc, azomite, alfalfa meal, kelp, oyster shell, fish bone meal, crab meal, compost, yarrow, sage and bokashi compost as well as top dress.

Teas are
Veg 1/4c ewc, 2 tsp kelp, 1tsp fish hydroslate
(Use alfalfa every other tea instead of kelp)
Flower 1/4c ewc, 2tsp kelp, 1tbsp fish bone meal
(Use soft rock phosphate every other instead of FBM)

My big Bud auto in flower. Just to verify I'm not a complete dummy to growing. Had to pull the main cola back because it outgrew the tent lol

So your outdoor attempt is a clone from your Big Bud indoor grow?

Have you considered throwing alfalfa in the bottom of the pot? It's a trick some use up here...

I have not. What are the benefits of that?

Nutrient-rich green manure that the herd loves, and it helps drainage early.

Topped Thursday morning

guess my soil has stayed to damp for a while. Still figuring the outdoor water out I guess. Got some of those nasty gnats. Should I water with neem? Or just spray the top layer? Bummed that they already showed up, but I watered then got hit with 2 days of rain. They are not running everywhere but wanna get on top of them.

Got those gnats under control. Watered with bio-fizz, and some home made humic acid.
