First outdoor photoperiod: BIG GIRL

indeed or if the neighbours call police due to the smell you may drive her swiftly outta the village until its safe again

WHEELS that’s the way to do it, awesome idea.. i think i’ll Get a big container with wheels that i already have, put a grid on top of it and should be able to move my girl in a dark place..
The sun will rise till end of June in my country, don’t take the fact that “i live in India” as gold I have a climate like Spain, maybe a bit more colder and rainy in the late summer

Man if you get more sunlight in june u must be somewhere around south east asia. Man she will give you big dense buds bcz of direct sunlight man. Is she still stretching??? If so then u should add more medium man so that u can increase the quantity with her stretch. If she's done her stretching then compulsorily add the medium so that she can give you bigger dense buds. If you are growing outdoors in bags she will take more time to finish like landraces and she needs more medium to feel like earth man so that she will turn out super flavoured smoke.

Would be useful to add medium on top of the existing roots? They are green on the surface as they were exposed to sun and air, i can add up to 1 gal or more of media..
I am around the Mediterranean Coast

Yeah man add it and see the magic after 2 weeks. She's big so she needs it to sustain. If you are using organic then the smokes will be out of this world man when you grow outdoors in sunlight

^^ true, even adding some much on top may prevent the soil from getting too hot... or too much loss due to water evaporation... roots need humidity at all times to be happy...

but I see you've already used white foil to do some deflection so the pot doesn't get too hot - well thought!

Every day i’m more amazed by the potential of this girl. Really loving the genetic reaction to outdoor moving, she is a strongly indica dominant but leaves are pretty much on the hybrid/sativa side, stacking of the nodes is just AMAZING.
this week i took a couple of clones to keep this girl going and maybe next year i’ll try to get even a bigger one in a 100 liters pot
I’m still trying to dial things with nutes, but the yellowing stopped and she is exploding with growth every day.
even the stock is getting bigger, i noticed that some “scars” appeared on the outside as the outer layer of wood of the trunk couldn’t contain the expansion.
Feeding GHE FLORA TRIO, coco perlite, but i add some organic additives like kelp, seaweed and lots of vitamins and amino acids to help uptake (as well as calmag+ and silica)
I just started adding even beneficial bacterias to clean up the media and produce enzymes to optimize uptake.
Feeding nearly everyday, she is currently happy with as little as 500 ppms, showing a very little tip burn this week

It’s pretty funny how small the 40 liters pot looks with that trunk in the middle

Thats a very small pot. You must be watering that girl twice a day?

you seem to have a good altitude to give the girl much sun

I am watering every day with 15-20 liters, I get runoff and the next morning pot is nearly dry. If it was possible two irrigations per day would be better, in flower i’ll try.
My zone is not much higher than sea level, but my elevated building leaves me 20 meters above the ground so i don’t get shade from anywhere, for 12-13 hours straight at least on every inch the canopy on sunny days.. In early summer i have a subtropical climate, 40-70% RH and a lot of sun, temps from 70F(night) to 82F.. in August i’ll have a more dry environment with 30-50% RH and 78-95F in the hot days
Today i started a foliar spray recipe with Seaweed, Kelp, Aminos, Vitamins, Calmag+, Azomite and Yucca as well as silica and potassium soap with neem for eventual bugs.

I’ve noticed, very happily, that 5 or 6 big spiders live in the plant and have been doing some webbing, they are her bodyguards! No other pests ever seen on her..


Forgot to say, genetic is Criminal + by Ripper Seeds

I’ll like to take some measurements of the girl and post them here, she is surely the biggest i’ve ever grown in my career (maybe cause i’ve always grown indoors, but things are gonna change now and hopefully i’ll be able to give birth to some amazing monster trees in this place

Do you think transplanting her now would be a good idea? I may need some help from a friend but i should be able to transfer her into a 100 liters smart pot.. obviously with a lot of manual root pruning

She may start flower in about 3 weeks

jah bless, looks fabulous mate!

Ok i think i’ll do it after seeing this.
But i’ll cut the oldest pot away to avoid stress

gl with that mate

if you wanna keep her artificially small then a small pot + a controlled amount of N is going to do the trick.

but if you want her buds to swell in flower, rootboundness isnt goot, and you should muster as much soil as you can. 100l sounds really good.

your climate numbers also sound well. mykhorrhiza helps tremendously with a plants access to substrate/ water.

this will be a great report to come

Neem oil is enough to keep bugs away man don't feed her all those through foiler. Feed her through water. My gal is also big not as big as yours if I didn't train her she would have been a freakin tree. Too many colas to even count man. I am growing in my balcony so I should keep her height in check. She just got her neem spray. You can spray her neem every day morning till she shows signs of flowering man it's enough and also keep those spiders away they are the reason for mites infestation.

I use bottled mineral nutrients, my feedings have very low phosphorus contents compared to the rest but I’m not sure about the ppm concentration.. i’ve heard that phosphates when get over 60 ppms make the MYCOS go sleeping... should I try them anyways?
