And, what nutrients are you using? Bottom leaves yellowing and falling off is an indication of a nutritional deficiency.

My plants are starting to flower- yippie!! Looks like I may have six ladies vs only two last year. The plants are growing in 10 gallon cloth containers using Promix medium. I am in the process of switching nutes from Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-2-4) to Pure Blend Pro Bloom. Normally I use...

6 oz in a small container on a porch (is your porch covered?) is not a bad yield. If 20 gallon is too big/heavy, try a 10 or 12 gallon pot. I don't think altitude makes a difference in yield; if you have a seed strain for cooler climates (like those used in B.C.) that is used to shorter growing...

Thanks for the input everyone! Abe- I have tried using dollies in the past but the containers would fall off! I also learned the hard way to wait until the plants/soil is dry before attempting to move the container. I have a while before I need to transplant into the final container Flash-...

Getting 2015 grow underway. Last year I had my plants in 12 gallon nursery pots (I have to have them mobile so I can move them quickly when relatives/nosy neighbors come to visit); that's about all I can physically move with my creaky back and knees. The guy at my "garden" supply store offered...

Sorry for the delay in replying: Both plants were in 12 gallon containers. They had been getting 6-8 hours direct sunlight until Labor Day (Sept 1), then moved to a spot with strong indirect light from a pine tree canopy and about 3 hours of direct sunlight. Promix was the growing medium; I fed...

My buds started getting a gray/brown rot near the stem- I pulled off some of the rotted parts of the bud the last few weeks of growing. Here are some pictures of buds after harvest- a little hard to tell but one can see the gray/brown "dead" part near the center of each bud. One plant had some...

Final stats are in: 220g (7 3/4 oz) from Jock Horror; 197g (7 oz) from my Indica plant. I dried Jock Horror for only 4 days before starting the curing process- I wanted to get a "sticky bud" this year and I've got it. The Indica dried for nearly a week before starting to cure. I have sampled...

I chopped Jock Horror Oct 19 and dried the plant in my laundry room in the basement - by the evening of Oct 21 the buds were crumbling so I snipped from the stalks. Ended up with 220g (just under 8 oz) that is now curing. I chopped my Indica plant yesterday (Oct 22) and will have to let it hang...

Finally got some sunlight & checked the plants- Jock Horror has lost most of its fan leaves; I noted the first amber trichomes today. Two branches broke under the bud weight and storm this week- I secured them for the next few days. Will probably harvest on the 19th because I don't think the...

Almost every plant I have grown made between 1 and 5 seeds (that I found); I read one time it is common for a non-pollinated plant to make a few seeds as a natural method of propagating/cloning. My current indica plant came from a third generation seed (the seed came from a plant last year which...

Just gotta ask- is the picture you posted Saturday this year's total crop- or do you have more? I missed most of your drama this summer but really enjoyed the pictures of your grow- gave me both inspiration and a few ideas for next year. I'm not in a position to guerilla grow (unless you...

I got hammered by the law of averages- I started with 12 seeds, ended up with only 3 females this year! Last two years the ratio was reversed, so it goes. I also gave away one lady before my two large sativas sexed male. Of my two remaining, the indica is producing big dense buds with a nice...

Big storms came through last night; one negative issue in growing plants in 12 gal containers is that they are too heavy to move very far so I tucked my two plants real tight next to a border hedge and tied up most of the branches to the plant cages. I only got a brief look this morning but the...

Patience is greatly required this year as the finish line is in sight! (and pics at bottom of this post) I saw some "makes sense" advice on another thread about flushing/feeding plants before harvest so this year I'm feeding all the way to the end with Botanicare Bloom full strength (1...

Thanks also for kOijn for this thread. I have had small outdoor grows (2-6 plants) over the past few years and always wondered about the flushing process. This year I have two very healthy plants due to maintaining a regular feeding schedule. I'm coming up on harvest time- probably 1 more week...

No matter how you dry/cure cut off the fan leaves before starting the process- it is much easier than removing after the fact. I dry my plants inside in the laundry closet in my basement- they are usually dry in 4-5 days, then I cure for up to a month, burping the storage containers daily or...

IMO You have a while (6-8 weeks) before harvest; I would take the plant out of the basket so it can get more light.

Update on my two ladies Allison (indica): target harvest Oct 13 Jock Horror (cross): target harvest Oct 20

As said above, be patient before chopping..target around Columbus Day...you're garden is beautiful
