If you’re going with 45gal smartpots then I hope you also have a camo net to put over em. Odds are good a satellite will see em from orbit!!! Lol - I can’t wait for this, these’ll be huge! Good luck!👍😎

@sKitzO, hear that - let’s get this going god damnit!👍

sKitzOcommented6 years ago

@TheBudWhisperer, exactly. That why I always go back on my experience, knowledge and reading the plant. They never lie with their needs. I think me with 25s will give me a good sense. We’ll see if I’m limited at all come flowering. They are in 5s now, and I’m eager to get them into their final home. Come on Mother Nature....

@sKitzO, funny - was just at the hydro shop myself talk’n with the owner.l and he said the exact opposite 😂 - minimum size pot for outdoor in his opinion should be 30gal. 👌 that’s way too big for my needs but proof that opinions are like assholes eh? Everyone’s got one! Lol

I never thought you’d get PWM or rot taking them in at night, every AM mine are soaked from the dew! I hope the milk works! Would you have any pics of the little bit of rot you did mention, I’m trying to be vigilant but Im not 100% sure what to be looking for. I think if my PWM can be controlled and not worsen, bud washing come harvest will save me (it’ll be my first try) but it won’t help if I’ve got some bud rot I didn’t notice. Oh btw they look awesome!

@ButtersStotch,if you do bubbles hash you can keep the rotted bud aside and make hash with it ....mold floats on water and trichomes sink in water.(water gonna separate naturally mold and trichomes... so keep them aside and when it’s time for ash you still can use that 😎

@ButtersStotch, check my obi-wan Kush pictures from yesterday ...I’ve post some early rotted bud !! So you can see what it looked like .....where gonna have to keep an close eye this week as apparently temperatures will be rising good on day time and will be dropping real low at night so make sure you give your girls a good shake in the morning to try to remove all excess water on them or if you have a big industrial fan start that in front of them to dry them up faster 👊🏻😉

@ButtersStotch, you and me both brother. I’m shocked. The girl at did get a bit wet a week or so back, I wasn’t home to move em. That was likely the rot. I didn’t take pics this time, but I’ll dig up one from last year for you. Rot is bad, and needs to be cut out. I always go 2 buds down from the rot and clip. This way I get most. In my 15+ years of growing I’ve never done a bud wash. I will this year though. Gonna do a 3 part wash - (sodium bicarbonate in one, then h2o2 + lemon juice in another. Finally RO for final rinse). That’s what I’ve been reading and looking at

I’m glad you said it first! I’m looking at my 707 and while she’s doing fantastic I gotta think that she’s got at least a couple more weeks to fatten up. Amazing to see the difference that training wide makes. I’ll prob. Go that route next year just for the yield increase and manageability. Great grow dude - they’re lookn fantastic!👍👌

@sKitzO, Following your grow your definitely right, next year I'm going wide not tall haha. Great job man!

sKitzOcommented5 years ago

@TheBudWhisperer - oh they for sure more. P3 got WPM kinda bad (as did a lot of plants around here), but P2 is looking fairly clean. I’m reluctant to defoliate her and expose her to it. Wide is the way to go IMHO. I’ll take a 7 footer any day, so long as it’s 7’ wide

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation - I had to tag you in a comment regarding my 707 P2. In over 15+ years of growing, I’ve never seen such vigorous secondary growth so early and so advanced without training. I think I might have gotten a magical bean from you guys. Looking forward to seeing her in a few months.

Lookn sweet there dude👍👍👍! I’m thinking my 707s another 1 week max based on fade and trichs. Can’t push it any further anyway - too much risk already. It’s gross how much ur plants gonna weigh out. Straight incredible grow all round bud👌😎👌

@sKitzO, I know - kinda happy bout that! Got some like minded family coming by for the weekend so free trim labour🤘. Just not sure how I’m gonna do it - my kush is on it’s flush week too and should be done in time for gobble gobble so that’s potentially 2 plants that gotta come down with days. Can already feel the blisters😎. Good luck with the chop dude.👊

sKitzOcommented5 years ago

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks for the kind words. They always look massive when trimmed. Just always need to keep in mind they lose 80%. The P3 did fill one of my racks completely though, and we have started a trim collection for hash. I’m interested to see how the wash goes. More on that in harvest and samples 😜 Agree on your 707. Better safe then gone. It might be next week for me as well, but that’s turkey weekend and it makes trimming hard with the holiday. The scope will tell! My P2 turned later then P3.

Looking good brother....looked like you are 1 -2weeks ahead of me ....now. My Thc bomb #1 is fighting broad mites ( now that explain my yellowing that I could control ...hope not to late to save her as she my giant at 8’7” !! Find some stuff that doesn’t leave residue and kills pest on contact....I’ll post a pic today in my diary of that stuff ....

@sKitzO, oh no soap my friends just discovered that stuff it’s kill on contact but will not leave any residue,so you need to spray them and not really the whole plants .....I’ll be good for the finish no worries 😉

sKitzOcommented5 years ago

@OntarioBigGreen,bummer! The joys of growing outside, they are ripe for the snacking. Careful with the soap, and make sure the wash the hell outta them leaves. We’re in the home stretch, so you might just make it. I’ll hope for some cool nights for you 😜

@sKitzO, yes you got me, I'm another Ontario grower. I'm surprised how many Canadians I see on here. I think there must be something in the bushes here, haha. I love flower, it's exciting and the aroma is great. I checked my outdoor plants tonight, which are North of Sudbury and one has started flower. Happy days. This is the only one that gets shade late afternoon. Interesting, I'm going to start the countdown. Haha Happy growing, Cheers!

sKitzOcommented5 years ago

@BarrieGrower, I can tell by the name you must be another ON grower. Maybe we should start a club? Thanks for the kind words. The bush did take some work, but it’s all fun and games over here. Flower time is almost here and has me as giddy as a 5 year old!

Gorgeous plants in a gorgeous setting! Do you wakeboard on that river? Canadian law limiting four plants at a time is restrictive. And you Canadians are good, law abiding citizens, not like us heathen neighbors to the south! Almost everyone I know who grows is WAY over the limit in DC. And we’re allowed 6 plants per adult, but only 3 if flowering. That helps the pheno selection problem a little. But I go to a friend’s house where they have one bedroom devoted to growing. 30 plants in there in flower. No one seems to care. Certainly not the cops. Cops stopped by because a neighbor complained about the smell. They take a look, and say “Get rid of enough plants to keep it legal” and drive away. Your view is mesmerizing au naturèl. Must be transcendental after a few hits!! Enjoy your harvest!

growdoctordccommented6 years ago

@sKitzO, so they’re LG! That’s a hefty harvest last year. I learned to wakeboard at 40. I swear it’s easier and safer than skiing. Easier to get up, Can’t splay your legs out because they’re on the same board Go slower than skiing and still get a great ride. 14-17 mph v 25-30. Ski crashes gave me ice cream headaches! If you’re into slalom I get it. But consider a thrift shop wakeboard as another toy in your quiver I’ll keep watching

sKitzOcommented6 years ago

@growdoctordc, thanks for the kind words. The ladies are Lake Grown actually. Rivers are close, but they get wide open exposure here. No wake boarding, but water skiing for sure. Would like to learn to wakeboard, but getting older... With the new laws and regs I figured I’d stay legal. There’s very little enforcement, however these 4 should get me through the year with plenty of gifting. 2018 crop was just over 3lbs with 4 plants in my off site location. I expect better this year since I can give them the love they deserve. Just need Mother Nature to corporate. Been a rough start, hopefully this means a warm long fall. Stick around, the fun’s just getting started.

Great grow man loved following it! Can’t wait to see you’re final yield. Weather here wasn’t the nicest near the end. At least everything is pulled. Have fun trimming, I know I didn’t lol

@ButtersStotch, hey butters, glad you enjoyed the ride, but we’re just 50% of the way there. Only the mango’s got axed, the 707s still have 1-2 weeks left! Thank goodness this week looks great Weather wise 👍. The issue I’m starting to face now is shade due to the sun being so damn low. They lose the best part of the day, so might be some real trees getting topped, or they better shed their damn leaves soon. I’ll post the mango harvest once they are bagged

Plants look stellar. IMO I think the defoliation will probably be fine as you have so many other leavers. The end is approaching. 👍

@BarrieGrower, thanks brother, they should. They get lots of love! I’m sure the plant with finish, and I’m sure it will be fine, but I’m not sure on the claims it supposed to make. 30% more dense, higher THC. Maybe 🤷‍♂️ That’s the good part about growing, we get to try new things, hopefully with positive results.
