Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

Not sure if anyone looks at this thread anymore or not but I am posting a few more pics. This might be the last time that I put anything on this thread. I'll keep checking back so if people are posting so will I.

Update: I had to move my plants from the spot I had them in. I noticed that the neighbor could see them when looking back towards my house. He was out cutting down the weeds in between our houses and I thought they he might have seen them. Either way they needed to be moved.

So the next option was to move them up behind a shed in my front yard with a fend on the back of it. The fence blocks the neighbor from seeing and helps provide a little radiant light since it's painted white. The biggest problem is that there is only about 4 hours of direct sunlight or less. The still get a lot of bright light from the walls around them but just not the direct light I was hoping for. I might cut down a tree in front of the shed that needs to go anyways. This might buy me a few more hours of light. For now does anyone thing that the 4 hours will effect my plants?

Pictures:

Don't stop posting here dude. I would hate to see this thread die, even though I'm guilty of doing more lurking then posting.
Not sure how well 4 hrs of light will work out. It could make for some airy buds. Good luck.

Yea dont stop posting man keep the thread alive haha but i have been doing more lurking than posting im guilty of that to, but looks like you have 4 nice loking plants! the spot there in now looks like it would work for now but try to find a better spot close by cause like james said not enough sunlight your plants will produce airy buds, but goodluck everyone else peace and pot!

I liked the fact that it was Michigan growers so ill keep posting. How's everyone's grows going this year?

I'm a little worried since I had to move mine but I'm going to end up cutting down the tree that's blocking some of my sun. I hope this will help some but I don't have anywhere else to move them. I've been looking into some county property down the road as a last resort but I will be worried about hunters if I have to move them. I'm thinking about putting a few plants out there next year just to see how they do. The nice thing is that I can ride my bike there and the road only gets about 4 cars a day down it. I looked into bow hunting there last year and I didn't see any cars there most of October. I guess ill see how it goes this year and make my mind up from there.

The tallest plant I have going now is about 5 foot and the smallest is around 4. I just put more soil around the top of them and I don't want them to get root bound. I've been thinking about transplanting them into the ground but I like the ability to move them if needed.

Hey GD. I went heavy on the water crystals this year and mine haven't looked thirsty even after two weeks without water.
My irg13s are already starting to flower. There not real big though. Only about 3 1/2 feet tall thanks to my late start.
One of my northern lights blue is about 5 feet tall and not even pre flowering yet, so at least ill have one heavy yeilder this year.
Your right about the being busy too. My garden is nowhere near as impressive as last year

I couldn't tell you how much they will yeild, but if there's one thing I've learned its that plants are happier in the ground. My plants aren't real big but there sitting in huge holes with good soil. I expect no less then 8oz off the smaller ones but it will probably be more.
Good luck

I will be hosting a contest for largest plant, an highest yeilder. Check the mi patients fourm for rules an prizes !!!

thanks james i think im going to put most of mine in the ground but keep a few so i can still move them if need be and even if i got an o or 2 off each one id be one happy sob, do you guys do anything about little bugs that nibble on the leaves or are they not to much of a problem?

I spray mine with seven insecticide while in veg. Not exactly organic but it works.

I am in. what does the winner get? Where do I get my prize?

kingfishter nice plants! I still look and will continue to look at this thread forever. Have not been around internet for a bit but will be soon. I will have pics up soon and will be online up at the new pad soon as well. When I get the link we will be back on Q.

GD - the plant did not get alot of water as you know. The ones that were planted and left to grow are very small. The ones I have been watering are doing well.

We are almost into hardcore frower boys - couple more weeks and I will be in white head heaven. I also have flowerd a few early.

Good luck and sorry I aint been around much to bullshit with but I will.

420 anything that eats your plant has potential to become a problem

Time for an update, Ill try to get some pics of what Ive still got out in the woods later.

I harvested 7 of my iranian auto flower clones last week. I put them out around the first week of may. The trichomes were not amber yet but they were starting to get bud rot and I chopped them before it destroyed all of the useable bud. I got a little less than 2.5 oz from the 7 plants. I think they were about 8-10" tall and in half gallon pots when I put them out. They didnt stretch much and finished as a big ass 12" cola.

My Neville's Haze Hybrids are kicking ass out in the woods and my jilly beans are comming around nicely.

any ways, I got to go to some family reunion bullshit so Ill catch up with the MI growers later.

Sailor Jerry, how's the high on the iranian auto's? Does it glue you to the couch?

420forlife, like hic said, anything munchin' on your plants could become a problem. If theyre just eating a few little holes in the leafs here and there it probably wont have much of an effect on your plants, but the few little holes could turn into a whole lotta holes if you dont get them bugs under control. If your strapped for cash you could probably just wait and see how she does, and only buy insecticides if the damage becomes more severe. If you have a little money to spend, I'd suggest getting neem oil and start using it now. It'll act as a repellent (at least it does for grasshoppers, havent seen a single one on my plants and the surrounding vegitation is filled with the little fuckers), It'll act as an anti-feedant, and I'm pretty sure it fucks up their reproductive cycle.

(i just smoked some stuff that wont let me keep my thoughts straight, so if this post dosnt make sense.... thats unfortunate)

Glad to see your confident, check the mi patients thread for full details. I have better prizes avaible for those who frequent this thread. Just drop me a pm or email or post in the outdoor comp thread.

YYYYiiiiihhhhh! Missing too much. Not happy. Will get internet up north!. Been doing some reading and am happy you boys are pulling threw. For those that wanted that BB dust well I wanted to wait and see if my assumptions were correct. I am glad I did cause the BB was way unstable so I did a favour and did not relay any to anyone. Will work on this matter a indulge at another time but same place.

Good to see you are all not in jail cause we are amongst the flowering. I have 1 in the GH that is ready and by next friday will have a white head. The heris' probley have 3 more weeks maybe 4? I do not see them much and saw em about 2 weeks ago and the already had dime sized buds.

Keep her rolling boys.

Mrcoke I have a hazey sct in the greehouse 12 - 15 foot tall already and 5 people it would take holding hands to go around it... and that is just one possible potential winner. I will win if the game is true cause I am the hic.lol and lots and lots and lots and lots of thinking and brainstorming makes it this way. Good luck to the others though. ---yea went out more cocky then I wanted it too.

lol peace boys pics in a week!

420 - good luck bud! get us recent pic soon. Did you end up with any black widow x onion skunk plants.

Oh and I have seen why skunk1 is a breeding plant... its genetics shine threw after 3 crosses you will get onionskunk sct pheno in a 10 sprout ordeal. See ya boys and I will go into he shantis skunk 1 another time.

Glad things are going good for you hic. You need to get your internet situation fixed. This threads a lot more entertaining when your around.
I haven't seen my girls in two weeks. We've had lots of rain so I'm expecting to see good things when I go out this week.
