Cali outdoor SLHaze, Bubba Kush, AK-47, and Red Dragon.

Sweet man good luck. If you do your research you'll do just fine and this site really helps with that. I couldn't figure out what to pick for my fourth strain so I let my girlfriend pick between Red Dragon or LSD. I kinda wish I went with the LSD. You need to set up a journal so I can follow ur grow. I wanna know how the LED lights work.

I have know idea what it could be and I have it in the middle not touching any other plants. Maybe I'll take her out side and bring her in at night. The one to the far right is a SLH and theirs another plant behind it

Just be careful! It would be a shame if all those beautiful plants you have going got sick!

I'll be going with LED lighting and will be starting out with Root Riot. I kinda figured 1 strain would be good for a 1st timer.

Don't go with just LED. Use T5 or CFL with it. Unless you have about four thousand dollars to spend on lights, you won't be happy with the results of just the LED.
The cheaper LEDs make good supplemental lighting for floros, but don't really have a leg of their own to stand on. The growth will be slow, but healthy looking, and the buds will be fluffy, but also healthy looking. For just a few bucks you can set up a CFL or two to go with the LED and get much better results.

Yeah I forgot to get it yesterday but I'll isolate it outside after work today. Have you used LED's before or do u know from research?

A couple of years ago when all the LED hype started I saw a lot of mixed reviews so I decided to try it out. I started with 2 of the 90 watt UFO lights over two plants. It took them FOREVER to grow.
I ended up throwing a 2 tube fluoro in to speed things up and in the end the buds were just not good.
A little later I dropped like $1,200 on a big ass panel led and grew one plant under it from seed to harvest. It did a lot better as far as rate of growth, but the buds were still light and fluffy.
After a bit of research I learned that you can build your own LED panels. You can get lights in pretty much any wavelength you want, so I believe there is potential, but the cost to build an LED panel that would work as well as a $200 HID is just stupid.

Ok cool thanks for the knowledge.

Still cold gunna warm up the next couple of days. So I'll be planting tomorrow definatly saturday. I took the AK outside away from the other plants. Other then that I just made Bubble Hash all day.

yea bro, I think that this is it for the shitty weather. I cant believe rain and cold this late, snowing in the high elevations! I have had some plants outside for a month now, couple are budding already. I think this weekend is a perfect weekend to get everything out. Have fun, I'll be doing the same!

I made such a mess the last time I made bubble back in april but it was sooo worth it. I have a four bag kit and magic washer which makes it go quick and now that I think I have an idea on how to do the plastic wrap / soaked newspaper trick my next batch should look as good as it smokes. Definitely night time smoke though.

I hate the humid subtropic climate that I live in, but now that I have a plant outdoors I can appreciate it for the first time after reading what you guys are going through!
I could have had them out in March, but I didn't decide to grow anything till April.

Yep I can't wait! The weathers seems to get worse every year here. Anyway I'll be doing it tomorrow.

That magic washer sound tight. I want one it takes hours for me to make a batch. Could you explain this trick your talking about?

Damn sounds like ganja heaven. When do you get ur first frost?

 

[Teejay13]

I believe it's the second post down on this * thread *and sounds simple enough that I'm going to give it a shot on my next batch.

Here's a * link *to the magic washer I think it's under a c-note. You just set the timer and get your macerate right and come back in 15min. This product looks like a portable mini washing machine so you might be able to find it cheaper with some searching.

Cool thanks.

Here is one I was looking at

Yah can't go wrong at $40 because even if it's a POS your only out a minimal amount compared to the outrageous prices they charge once they market it as weed friendly. This industry is alot like the motorcycle industry where if you slap the Harley brand on something you can charge a 500% markup.

I Think I'll stick to my 5 piece bubble bag set and do the shit the good ol' way. My bags will last forever as long as I take care of them. How long will those made in Indonesia piece of shit motor parts last?

 

[Teejay13]

You still have to use the bags all the washer does is mix it up for you. So if it fucks up it's not like you can't still do it the old fashioned way

 

[Ol' Scrumpy]

Oh. I was looking at some a few weeks ago that claimed to separate everything better than the bags. I call bullshit on those things! I thought that was what you were talking about.
There's no way I would trust a machine to do that for me...I love my hash way too much.

 

[Ganja Geek]

I planted 6 more yesterday useing the same method as before. The order of these pics is Red Dragon, 3 Super Lemon Haze, 2 AK-47, and a group shot. I plan on topping each of them about 1 or 2 weeks after the transplant. I also fed whats left of the indoor today.

 

[Teejay13]

Looking good your gonna have some monsters!

Usually not until mid November. Sometimes we will see a slight frost or two in mid to late October, but not often.
So, yea...7 or 8 months is a good amount of time to grow some plants...I don't know when to expect flowering to start. I need to check the sunrise/sunset schedule.
I'm expecting the one plant I have now to get to around 7 foot, judging from the growth in the last 3 weeks since I put it outside.
I may take some clones off her, though, so that may stunt the growth a little.

Whats up with the PVC pipes sticking out of each bed?
