Been getting a free influx of ladybugs visiting my girls on the rooftop keeping the spider mites away. I snapped a branch training but taped it up and she's all healed and growing. Can't afford to permanently lose branches as I have a bet with myself that I can't yield 2lbs from each of my outdoor plants. I'm using another growers diary who also ran the same genetics with the same 13 weeks veg time as a blueprint. They yielded 2lbs dry while using a 45 gallon pot, with a living soil and some nutes towards the end, the growth only topped the plant but didn't train it otherwise to the extent that I am. His numbers are impressive but was it due to the sheer size of his tree given the space it had to grow? Especially with no training? My goal is to TRY and replicate his success but using only 1/4 of the space, even 1.5lbs dry I'll consider a victory.
@Kloud9gardenz,..lol...yes outside they grow fast but i usually pluck top an multiply main branches also pluck side branches too i usually get her around 7ft high an 8-9 ft wide hedge..1 1/2 easy dried after giving branches to friends lol
@JamMAKEcan, the indoor training is what I've got working in my favor being outdoors now. Figured if I can take that talent outside I can top a pound + easily BUT I still have to put the work in, its going to be a long 6 months
@JamMAKEcan, We shall see how it goes plus I just germinated a Peanut Butter Breath. Doing a total of 7 but 4 will be staggered in may, hoping to get a pound of each of the 3 I start now.
@GuerillaGorilla, yeah the temps here in NYC dipped severely fast and this and the Runtz muffin just started to streak purples. I can never duplicate this indoor unless I started starving the plant with only water
She is a beast. Just a thought, I will just hang trellis netting over the plants I have in pots. The branches will weave themselves through and hold each other up when things get heavy. Good luck!
Nice to see the variety your growing
All growing well.
I think this is another strain you would normally grow indoors.
How did you select your strains this year?
@GuerillaGorilla, so this is my first time ever growing outdoor and I ran back some of my indoor favorites that I ran out of (purp and runtz muffin). The peanut butter breath was something I hunted for over a year and then I found GOG version which is really a bulk seed and not something they worked towards. I try to add a lot of variety in my runs as far as indica/sativa ratio so I have Sativa's to keep me stoned at work until 11am and shit but I need balance in my runs. The dankberry i grew bc anything Anesia and purple buds smoke like shit even fast buds purple lemonade auto was shit, I figured if I grew it outdoor for free I can't get too mad if it smokes like shit lol. I'm growing all Humboldt for my new year harvest and I wanted the panty dropped for midnight, All Gas OG on the wake n bake bc its all gas no brakes 2023, the Hella Jelly during the brunch to afternoon BC I need Sativa's during the day unless its snowing and who wants to be awake for that. And I got the animal mintz for the evening wind down. Shit I've already got my summer 23 strains all picked out lol
@GODSGIFT_2005_JM, I'm probably never growing indoor again after seeing what some sun and a 12 gallon pot can do lol. The pictures don't do this justice because of all the training, its almost 2ft tall as is with the training and I've got another 6-8 weeks before lights change in NYC
