I think I screwed my outdoor grow

jacksona911 · Jul 17, 2009

I just planted a bunch of clones here in humboldt county in the ground and only had time to dig up little 8" by 8" by 8" holes for each plant. I know I should of done at least 2'x2' but my helper called in sick (fucking dirt bag) so I did all the work by myself. Well anyways the strains are granddaddy purple , OG kush, and strawberry chronic. The area where im growing gets atleast 8 hours direct sunlight in 80-100 degree weather and the plants get all the nutes and water they need. Also they have all been topped several times, along with being tied down and are 2.5 foot tall bushes. The plants were put in the ground one month ago and have grown 2 feet .I was wondering how badly I affected my plants by planting them in small holes. I was exspecting half pound to a pound per plant if they were in good holes. Does anyone have any exsperience with growing in larger holes compared to smaller holes directly in the ground? Im just trying to figure my yield now for my drying room. Do you think its still possible to get a half pound per plant or did I just screw my self by planting them the way I did? I'm still hoping they will get 6' tall but what do you guys think?
Any info would be awsome thx..

Ill have pics up tommorow but the dirt there in is really good and I live in northern cali

pics would help

The 2nd week they were in the ground I feed them with some MAXSEA and in 4 days they grew 1 foot But after that they slowed down in growth and look perfectly healthy. It made me think that maybe they filled those little holes really quik with roots and now there trying to break free into the harder dirt. I sont know though

goosecomander · Jul 17, 2009

if its good dirt there i wouldent worry about it .. but ya get some pics up ..

looks real good bro.. i wouldent worry about your holes there doing just fine .. its to hard to tell the yeild but u should have a good harvest keep it up man dont worry about your drying room for another month or so then u should be able to get a better idea....

those plants look great to me and i dont think the hole size will reduce the yeild because there about to start budding soon anyways mmmmmmmmm gdp!!!!!

MediMaryUser · Jul 19, 2009

I looked closer at the pics and it looks like that whole areas been used to grow on berore because it looks like theres perlite in all the soil not just in the dark black holes where the plants are. am i wrong?

goosecomander · Jul 19, 2009

i think its shell rock ..... thats what it looks like to me

jacksona911 · Jul 19, 2009

no i added stuff to the original soil like perlite bone meal. I also add a 3 month fert called osmocote. I also tested the ph of the soil and its right on 7.0 neutral.

jacksona911 · Jul 19, 2009

o yeah this is my first grow too
