AK's Back Yard Organic 4 Strain Extravaganza

Be careful not to over water still, the soil at the base of your plant near the thicker roots still retains a lot of water, and that is where root rot happens, as I understand. Make sure you look at both the base of the plant and the outside perimeter of the soil before deciding to water again.

I watered them a little last night because I did not want the tea to go to waste. I wont brew another bach untill the soil is bone dry, I think they can handle it. I think the bags also have alot to do with it. I have cut so many holes in that bag to vent the soil that it looks like its all mangled. I may cut the bag away so I can put into a smaller container.

Dude have you heard of air-root-pruning? I'm sure you probably have, I was just thinking this might help you out since you were talkin about cutin holes in the bag to vent the soil. I use a pot that allows the roots to grow out of it, and then they die. Which then makes the roots still in the soil branch out more, using up more of the soil, eliminating a plant becoming rootbound. Pretty much, you can have a larger plant, in a smaller pot. And since the soil drys out faster. You have to water more, which means you also have to feed more if you fallow the water/feed/water/feed/water/feed cycle like myself. Which means more nutrient uptake by the plants, so healthier plants and more weed basically. lol, here's a pic of the pot's I use for the air-root-pruning. That chunck of soil is from a already harvested plant. As you can see, you CAN'T see any roots. Thus, no problems of being rootbound + more nutrient uptake. Just an idea I thought I'd throw your way!

I'm digging your grow man, and I'm sub'd BTW. Hope you try out that MRS shit that we were talkin about!

Thanks man I may try this out

Nothing new to report. I have a new tea recpie that I am brewing that is a more all around mix but, it may be alittle hot. I got my MMJ Card again finally so my grow is legal so, no more green house. I am going to build and air-pot out of hardware cloth lined with burlap and see how well it works. I am going to have to cut the bag away from the root ball but, if it dies I don't care, I will just get some good clones from the dispensary. Will have a pic update in a day or so.

I think it should be fine. People root prune their mother plants all the time. Just be careful and she'll make it!

UPDATE;

Attemped to transplant into air pot but failed so, I took another grow bag and add about 3" well dried heavily perlited soil in the bottom of grow bag. I then put root ball in bottom and buired about 6" of stem to begin rooting. It has been very hot here, around 110 everyday so they have actually been using up that excess moisture and are starting to grow again. That HOT mix was a little hot and I ended up with some slight burn but since have only watered with plain water and a little molasses. Going to keep the plain water for another week before another tea drench. will update with pics next week, when there is something to show.

Today I am down to only two of the 4 originals. The runt of the litter was Starting to show off his balls co I pulled it out of the ground and killed it. The large one may be male as well and if that is the case I am just going to start over with some good clones from a dispensary. I am not sure growing outdoors was a good Idea, seems like I picked the wrong year to do so. Oh well, I hope Its a female though.

Damn man that's unfortunate..... Do you have any pix by chance?. Sorry bro, everybody get's them males when growin from seed tho. It's the risk ya take. Hence why I haven't germinated a seed in the past 4 month's and have just used clones. Untill last week. I've got some seeds now too. We'll see what happens I guess.

Don't worry bud it's still early... lots of time to get that baby grown out! Hopefully it is a female, but I must agree that clones are the best way to start if you're looking for a quick pain free harvest! I've got 18 BC Mango seeds germed and waiting to be sexed under 12/12 from seed, I find thats the easiest way to pull a big harvest with a small space or light with seeds.

UPDATE: I am down to 1 plant left. The Beast was ready for lst but, when I went to pull the two main bud sites apart(very gently) the stem just split right down the middle about 8 inches I was pissed. I have the tall one that was repotted I think it is #3. Still no Pre-Flowers yet but, I have been started the bloom feeding. I decided to do a mix of organic nutes as well as some other Bloom Ferts and the only one is responding quite well. I lst'd today and it only took a couple hrs for it to turn up again but I was able to shrinkit down by about 6". It is very bushy. The feeding Schedule is as follows

Water+Molasses at 3 tbl per gallon. This is the reg mix

Nutrient Mix is as Follows

B.C. Grow
Molasses
Root 66
Thrive Alive B1 Green
Alaskan Fish Emulsion
CNS17 Bloom

I am running a Feed Water Water Feed schedule. So Far I am only feeding Half strength and will be for the next 2 feedings then it will be full strenght.

Well I am still unsure of sex but am really praying since this guy is really starting to show some potentional. It has def really exploded in growth. I decided that I wan not 100% satified with organic guanos and stuff so I am using a blend of nutes and organic stuff. Really no pests except Spiders but, i let them stay because they kill everything else. I am hoping for a sizable harvest So I can make a large pot of hash butter.

The plant still continues to grow, lots and lots of bud sites but still no sign of sex yet. I bet this one is going to be a late finisher so I probably will not have a someable product untill the end of november mid december.

wow, what happened with this grow?????

Spider Mites bro they just appeared one day then bang bang bang they exploded and killed my last plant. Ill be starting a new one this next month hopefully.
