My first grow Socal Style!!

those are some beautiful plants, healthy as all hell, lucky you are legally allowed to grow. i was reading on the previous pages about some insect problems. there are alot of organic pesticides people have made with orange peel, garlic (on page 5), etc. also if ur flowering soon add some molasses it should fatten those buds up and add a lil bit of sweetness. are you organic of just growing?

Looking great for a outdoor, I mainly work with indoor CFL grows so far.....But...Have two outside in MG soil doing well, One did turn out male and the other female on her way (far away from the male) I will say this since you are in MG soild roll with it imo....I know there is much better soil/nuts avaliable but MG is not always that bad.. Look into MB Bloom Booster Nutes 15-30-15 this is what I am currently using looking very healthy so far on the way! =)

man that things huge you can get atleast a qp easy maybe more if you use some good budding nutes

looking good...

Actually these plants were in a window sill in miracle grow and i told the owner of the house the old drunk to put then outside. So she just dug a big a whole next to the chicken coop. so far its only been that and some water and miracle grow potting soil not my choice.

So i guess thats not really organic? lol

I herd a heat wave is about to hit socal so i am gonna make sure shes watered real good. also how can i get a lot of nitrogen for flowering stage? I will try to pull some money together for nutes

sorry to say it, but your Dad is wrong on this one. As often as it seems you see the plant, by the time you notice bugs on it, there could be an infestation which could devastate the plant.

I suggest preventative measures. Spray neem oil on the plant, relatively cheap and it comes in concentrated form, so READ THE DIRECTIONS AND DILUTE IT WITH WATER. it's all natural and wont hurt the plant, it'll help to prevent all kinds of ugliness from spider mites to powdery mildew.

dude amazing plants, what a great thing to come home to, and what a fabulous women! props to her too! those things have too much potential for you to not invest in proper nutrients, definitely get some earth juice or something man. better yet "Nature's Nectar" no PH testing necessary.

your plants are beautiful .
they look really healthy.
whatever you are doing is working .
what do you feed em?

wow nice plants bro.. That big one is going to yield a fucking pound lol.. and i cant tell if the smaller one is budding. when did you plant? this is about the time of year they do start to bud.

if anything i would suggest lady bugs. They always work and you dont have to feed your plant insecticide

First off since it's out side I wouldn't cut a thing. Every time you do damage the plants stops grow in that area for two days. MG is fine since your in the ground just watch the leaf tips and make sure the burn doesn't creep up to far on the leaf. Alot of these guys try to sell shit for companies, that's how they get their names, don't waste your time. If it's next to a chicken coop you said then make a tea from the chicken manure and water your plants with it along with molasses. Always keep it organic if it's for personal use. Don't wanna burn all those fake fertilizers when your having a toke. If you don't believe me then check out my babies on my profile.

Can't forget about to flush the last two weeks before harvest. I don't care what anyone else might tell you either, it's better safe then sorry when it comes to your personal than to risk NOT flushing for the full two weeks. Since your in the ground all you have to do is stop adding anything to the water and increase watering for up until the last three days before you harvest. Let the plant dry out for a full 3 days before you cut them because this will make the drying go faster (less chance of mold and less time to wait for smoke). This will also trick the plant into thinking it's dying and throw it in survival mode and produce more trichomes (increasing Thc). If possible you should cover the plant those three days also because most of the trichome formantion is done under the safety of dark. Direct sunlight degrades Thc. The trichomes are formed on the plant to help attract pollen and at the same time protect the plant from UV rays.

Well this is really a matter of style, but I would trim out all the lowers regardless of the fact that its outside... Its a proven fact that removing lower foiliage send hormones further up the branch sooo.... Its worth the extra couple days for potentially more potent fruit.

ya i recommend not trimming them branches either, ive had a few outdoor grows and the only time i trim is when leaves are damaged, and to top the plant.
trimming stunts growth and upsets the plant
you shouldnt have any issues with mold in that socal heat and sun
good luck mayne
miracle grow for your first couple noob grows is ok, just dont use it forever =P also make sure to flush your plant at least 2-3 weeks before harvest if not 4 weeks to get out all the miracle grow so you dont smoke it

Sorry guys i gave up on these girls owner of the house was a drunk tweeker. Lets just say i did not want to go over to the dump of a house anymore ha. Will have my own grow thread when i do my own thing.

well thats never any fun
its probably for the better, a drunk tweeker has a much better chance of law enforcement arriving. what you dont want when growing lol.

I thought you didn't have plants in the ole ladies yard this year homes???

those look great but... miracle grow...no way bro no control... start with cal mag and flora nova gro all the way....up until flower then switch to bloom nutes ... dont use cheap pre mixed soils .....not meant to do what your doin i mean you can produce a healthy good lookin plant but ...if your nice to your plant she will be very nice to you. I had eight outdoor, I tilled then pre dug my holes used a alkaline soil ph the water after mixing all my nutes planted in the end of may pulled in late september i got about twelve pounds..
