I'm in NC too. Growing 5 plants in 5 gallon buckets too. You better get started. I started my seeds in April, and my plants are between 4 and 5 ft tall now. Don't mean to be a buzz kill, but you are most definitely going to have to water the plants.. I know how much water I've hauled already...

Well first of all, if you use 5 gallon buckets, you will need to drill holes in the bottom so water drains out, because if you don't if you get a big rain they will drown. And I can speak from current personal experience, once the plants get some size they will suck the water up in a 5 gallon...

Yeah, I searched old Beaner, and he's got a lot of posts, but not much to say. Sad story about how his whole crop was wiped out, wah wah wah. I got it from a post I read, a guy who had been growing for 30 years and always lollipopped. Makes sense to me. I'm growing outdoors in 5 gallon...

Well the sun has come out with a vengence. It's been in the mid 90's last 3 days. It's supposed to drop back to the low to mid 80's next week and be sunny. You really have to wate a lot in 5 gallon containers when it's that hot. Gave them a second feeding on June 4th 7 days after the first...

Started feeding, I think the fertilizer in the potting soil has played out. These pics are a week after feeding. The sun has come out with a vengence. It's been in the mid 90's the last 3 days. You really have to water a lot in 5 gallon containers.

Retarded; I guess that would be a con then.

I've got 5 plants growing in 5 gallon buckets. I read one post on here were the guys said he always Lollipoped his plants, removed about 30% of the lower growth, shoots and leaves. Channels more energy to the tops. Anyone have opinions? It makes sense to me particularly in my situation were I'm...

I gave them some MG all purpose plant food on the March 28 and I took these pictures on June 2.

Thanks man. We've had some crazy cloudy weather, I think they would look even better if we could get a week of straight sunshine. They can get pretty big in 5 gallon containers, you should probably top, or LST or something.

Bump it up? How bout some love here?

Better to start each individual seed in a seperate container. Use 16 oz beer cups, if you are in college I'm sure they are available. Leave your soil down about an 1-1/2 to 2" below the top of the cup. Put your seed on top of the soil center of the cup. Use your finger and press down into the...

Actually, looking at the pics you can tell a pretty noticable difference after the feeding. Oh, and any comments are welcome.

yeah, that's what I thought. I can't do any better with this camera. I'll see if I can get my wifes.

Ok, fast forward. I gave them some miracle grow all purpose plant food on May 29th. Like I said, they have grown so fast, I think they used up all of the food that was in the soild. The miracle grow is 28-8-16. It takes about 8 gallons of water to get these 5 five gallon buckets good and wet...

Ok, I wasn't planning to do a full fledge grow journal, but things are going pretty well, so I changed my mind. I posted some of these pics in Newbie Central last week, so if you've already seen sorry. I got 5 feminized Kaya Gold seeds from Nirvana, and I started in 16oz stadium cups on April...

It's been unusually cloudy since I started my grow. We are at about 14.5 hours of daylight now. Can cloudy weather make plants flower early? I can't get any better focus on the camera, so I don't know if anyone can help, but take a look and let me know if you think these look like normal...

You can get just a plain power strip, surge protector whatever. You know, it's just a strip with 5 or six outlets. You can get these plug in light sockets at Walmart for about $1.50 each, that you can just plug into the strip and then the CFL's just screw into. I have this set up in a filing...

Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil with perlite. Feeds up to 3 months. These plants are 6 weeks old and I have not given any additional feeding yet, but I'm planning to start Miracle Grow All Purpose Plant food this week. it 24-8-16. I dont thing "feeds up to 3 months" includes 4 ft...

Yeah, I think they only cut off your hand.

You got plenty of light, and like somebody said, you can grow a tree in 20 gallons. I'm growing in 5 gallons, and one guy on here got a pound from a 5 gallon pot, although I think this was a perfect grow. I'll be happy with a 1/4 lb per plant.
