It was in a 3 gallon pot outside. I have a 4 x 4 tent that I grow in and these are just to see what happens. :) This year they are 7 and 10 gallon pots and happy frog soil.

I like indoors a lot better but the sun is free. Tough call. :D And I learn with every planter pot grow on the deck. I get terrible sunlight on my deck because of trees but this year they are doing pretty good in veg.

I have a pair of 30 gallon pots I might pot up to. I need 4 more bags of happy frog!

Your plants are looking real good at this point. Nice going. Definitely use those big pots if at all possible. What are you doing for nutes? I'm really a KISS type of guy so I just go with MaxSea AP and Bloom. Works just fine, doesn't cost much and very simple to use. I feed probably every 10-14 days at 60% strength with AP until I see signs of flowering. I then mix AP and Bloom for a couple of feeds, then back to AP until full bloom when I move to Bloom. Still mix in AP every third or fourth feed so to keep the nitrogen available.

I'm not sure if you disagreeing with me or what mate.

Each to their own, we all use different techniques. I just plant and leave, simple.

I completely agree & That's what I do as well , I have really rich native soil in my area so I till and work the earth and plant my babies and only return to feed in flowering usually

I have some GH Organics leftover that will work until flower. I will use Gaja Green Bloom for flower. It is a soil dressing kind of fert and it is usually good for about 1 month after you dig it into the top of the plant.

I got the soil and i am going to use the 30 gallon pots. I will build a support on the deck rail so they can sit there and get more sunlight. It is just tall enough at that height to get 2 hours more of direct sunlight. Currently 10 am to 6 pm is solid sunlight. They are going bonkers out there. I will top and fim them and bend them too. I plan to add some silica too so they can be a little tougher for rebounding and for everything silica is good for.

Yes ! Top them bitches at the 4th node , then when those two branches grow to the fourth node top em again ! I Top About 10 Times then start FIM'ing & Bending & Tying & They go Nuts

Ten times. That is great. 1024 tops. And that is just from the main stem. Any side branches you top is just gravy. The most toppings I have ever done is 7, or 128 tops from the main stem. I see I will have to up my topping game.

That's how we guerilla grow em in central Maine , the sad truth is that people don't want to do the work themselves and they expect something for free so they steal your hard work and your Blood Sweat and Tears and it's sad but when you walk 30-90 min. Into the woods usually you find relatively safe spots to plant because rippers don't want to travel that far they just want something that's going to be an easy quick grab

I do things deep in the woods guerilla Style and I also do some Urban growing guerilla Style and it's a hit or miss sometimes they get to harvest sometimes they don't but I've noticed that even sometimes in the most obvious of places where you think they would get ripped off they don't because no one is looking there or expecting them to be there !!!!

Or maybe I'm just extremely lucky because I've only ever had a problem with rippers once in my entire 18 years of growing and it hurts to lose the crop

Ive Topped Plants 10 Times & Didn't get 1000+ Tops on Em , If The Plant was Big Enough Though I Imagine They'd Put some huge Yields Out , I Grow Mine Wide as a preference , Would Prefer to see it all there when I get back at Harvest

Id only top if it was becoming visible or to hide the plant if its a tall plant maybe as well.

Its like anything example bean sprouts, or veal fish or stemcells from fetus s the young ones or small ones carry certian benefits while the big ones carry certian risks.

Bigger isnt always better guys that grow massive plants suffer quality wise theres a middleground.

So my plants suffer quality by being Huge ? Lmfao Sounds good But Probably Not . Your Bud is Either good or not and plant size ain't got shit to do with quality dude so Maybe look at Some Threads on RIU cause I've had 8-10 footers that were identical with the 3-5 footers potency wise so enlighten me on how they suffer as size increases ???

Cause Last I checked I've NEVER Had Issues with that


Happy growing tho
