Well i've been running into some nute problems lately so i've been trying to recover from that. I got liquid fertilizer but i haven't been shaking it before i mixed it; so as the weeks past it got more and more concentrated. Since i didn't realize what i was doing i did not adjust it which has led to nute burn in 4 out of 8 plants.
The other 4 are getting huge though. Big mama is close to 5.5 feet. I'll have pics up soon.

Yeah thats what i get for cheaping out on supplies. The nute burn is also due to drainage problems. Since i have 2 layers of plants, excess water from the top plants drip down to the second tier, giving the bottom plants a double dose of nutes. I'm designing a new rig for next year to fix the problem.
On the bright side even the plant that lost all it's leaves is showing signs of new growth. With about a month of grow season left i'm expecting at least a partial recovery.

This has got to be the balliest, most entertaining thread I've read on here. As weird as it seems, I've actually considered the same thing, growing them in the tree tops. I have some ideas that might make it easier, safer and more stealthy. (1) camo paint your pots. If you use green pots, get a can of black paint, cut a branch with leaves and use it as a stencil and spray around it. It doesn't have to be perfect, just something to break up the shape. (2) What about running a lightweight cable between two trees with some pullies anchored at 1' spacing thru which you run parachute shroud line (OD Green). You could pull the babies up for their sunbath, let them down to check on and water them. (3) What about another tree with leaves more similar to the pot plant, sweet gum for instance. Pine needles contrast too much with the shape of the pot leaves. I know it's being picky but it's just stealthier.

Yeah i moved the males and hermaphordite to a swamp maybe a half mile away. I'm gonna just let the hermaphordite seed then use those for next season. I realize that hemaphordites often yeild more hermaphordites but i'm going for quantity not quality. I'll just spread a ton of seeds in the forest and hope for the best. Then i'll order some high quality stuff offline for next year's tree grow.
