Ayo what's good? I learned alot from last year's outdoor grow, and I want to do another one :D.
To put it briefly, last year I grew a Blue Dream and Fire Purps outside in my 3x3 beds outside. Deciding I wanted to grow monsters, they were easily like 10+ feet tall which was a huge mistake. Bad weather beat her up real bad and budrot destroyed most of it. Managed to get some usable buds which was nice, but the effort was not worth it at all.
We are going to do it again this year obviously, but hopefully I've learned enough from the last one to do a good job this time around.
This year I'll be growing plants from HSC. Got a Blueberry Muffin and Bigfoot Glue. Heard really good things about HSC and never tried their stuff besides a Hella Jelly of which I'm currently growing inside.
To start off, I pretty much planted cover crop early in the season before chopping it down and mulching over it with some reclaimed and reamended soil. Fast forward about a month and in our Bigfoot Glue goes.
Its important to note that this year, I did not grow the plant for like 5-6 weeks inside a tent before transplanting outside. I grew her in the tent for about 6 days before put her in the bed around the second week of June. I want large plants, but not absolute monsters. I figure that it starts flowering mid august so I've got about 10 weeks worth of veg.
