All plants looking good. Seems like I’ve survived the seedling stage! This could become addictive!
Time has been flying! I can’t believe it’s the end of week 3 already.
Time to get cracking on mixing super soil to cook in time to get girls outdoors. The end of May will be here before I know it.
Holy growing like crazy. These girls are slated to go outdoors but have at least 4 more weeks until the weather is nice enough. Some will go out but chocolope will be headed to the greenhouse.
I’m a little worried that I’ll need to repot again before they go out.
Yes u could of cuz u where in veg when ask this question. But u don't want that type of stress in flower. U don't want energy going into recovery just budding. Good looking plant though
I am Not Sure how you are going to transplant them but if you can you should go for it bigger root System means more nutrition and Walter intakte and a bigger yield. Make Sure to Transplant later on in the Day so they don't get that much heat and Light stress. Otherwise big compliment.
The girls have been outdoors since may 19. They are 8 weeks old from seed and are doing well. I have 4 in a greenhouse to give chocolope enough time to finish and minimize effects of poor weather, 2 in 15 gallon grow bags outdoors and 3 in a side garden. All are being grown in organic super soil.
It’s been a an interesting week for sure. Cold weather, hot weather, wind, heavy rain but the girls seem to me hanging in there. I’m still working on installing new fan in greenhouse but what I have in place is holding its own for now. More average sunny weather on the way 😬

All girls growing well. Bakerstreet and California orange have found ground water I think as I haven’t watered them since transplant may 19. The grow bags are a little more difficult to keep the girls watered enough and happy, but I feel it’s going well.
Super hot weather on the way this week so will have to stay vigilant not to let them get heat stressed.
I have just added two 20:1 CBD plants and two green crack plants to the garden. They are three weeks old and look VERY small compared to their garden mates
3 swamp coolers added to greenhouse today as temps soar over 100. Seems to be working well. Dropped 5 degrees in about 30 min or so.
12 weeks in...I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. The girls are all doing great. No issues thus far and still water only.
We are approaching 7 feet rapidly and I’m starting to bend plants in greenhouse to accommodate the height.
This weeks thoughts are on how to dry and cure and where.
Also believe it or not am considering dark devil autos as a late season experiment for a double crop ? next year as opposed to one giant one
All the girls continue to grow vigorously with just water. Homemade swamp coolers saved the day in the greenhouse with temps over 100 degrees 3 days running. With about 3 weeks left to veg before the light changes here I will continue to bend and train....enjoying the ride!
Getting difficult to take pics in the house of green. Can’t get far enough back to see the ladies individually.
Stretching now and starting to see some pistils 😬 I’m thinking there won’t be too many more veg pics
Still plugging away with vegetation. Flowering soon I’m sure but the girls continue to stretch. I tie down daily in the greenhouse and am trying to keep a canopy about 5 1/2 feet or so. Fingers crossed. They go up about five feet then back or across another 5 feet or so. They are currently showing no sign of slowing down.
Blue Dream in the cow feeder I have bent to try to keep her behind a plexiglass shield to avoid strong west winds.
California orange and the bakerstreet twins remain in their natural state.
I dusted all plants with DE over the weekend in anticipation of flowering beginning soon.
Through 100 degree temps we are starting to think about supplemental heat for the House of Green for fall. Possible propane furnace to be installed to ensure all girls have time to finish...chocolope for sure and probably the auto gang.
Starting to see some changes in the structure of plants as they continue to stretch and get ready to flower.
I’ve been working on getting the greenhouse under control. We have strung grid wires strategically in the tent and I’ve been tying branches with pipe cleaners to bring things under control and fill empty spaces. Pics to follow. I only bought 200 pipe cleaners and ran out 😳 I’ve purchased 200 more and should finish today so pics will follow
I’m not even sure what to say....daily moments of shock and awe lol the outdoor girls survived multiple days of driving torrential rains and thunderstorms but didn’t seem to miss a beat. The branches are stronger and the stretch is ongoing. I’m not sure where the ride will stop...still hanging on lol.
The greenhouse is a story all in itself. These girls are monsters and I basically have a 15’x10’ wall to wall with a canopy at just over 5 feet. Plants are tied up, down, over and sideways, and I have become quite good at supercropping in areas I can’t quite reach to tie. I have just over 500 pipe cleaners up and counting. I’m just barely keeping my head above water with these ladies and I think they might me laughing at me haha they seem to enjoy the challenge. Airflow in the greenhouse is great, so hoping for good things there.
Been a busy few weeks trying to keep the girls in the greenhouse tied and tucked and supercropped out of the roof of the greenhouse. It is now from the ground on one side all the way over the top and around...for about 15 feet...sea of green. Buds everywhere you look.
The largest ladies in the ground...California Orange and Bakerstreet are now about 12 feet tall. There are 4 in the ground in greenhouse bent and I’m sure they are at least that. Will measure them at harvest.
The outdoor girls are plugging away. Survived a few torrential rain days and now a couple of cool nights but the next few weeks are looking good.
Loving this!!
@kegman83, I agree. No pest issues in the greenhouse so far. I’m witching the garlic was a year round plant. I’ll be harvesting them in a few weeks. Probably start dusting the girls once the garlic has been harvested.
@@Ssomeguy - “... my current flowering plants were germinated around end september/start october and some of them were basically ruined within a week or two recently.”
That stinks! Mother Nature can be so cruel
@kanda19,
They're not autoflowers are they? Because I was just mentioning on my diary, for long lifetime sativas (which I have a few dozen of) I'd probably germinate near mid-winter (easy to manage when they're younger/smaller) rather than spring. Then shove them properly outside in good conditions.
Currently got a bunch of (27) seedlings in 3l pots too that I just transplanted from 250ml cups (right before winter) and dunno wtf to do with yet, probably just gonna shove them in soil and see how it goes, since winter here is typically fairly warm compared to other places.
My current flowering plants are from sort of mid-spring which is bad time, due to climate here, but that's when it was legalized (and didn't expect them to grow for as long as they have been) so... it gets moist and cold suddenly around march/april after being incredibly hot (somewhere in africa), my current flowering plants were germinated around end september/start october and some of them were basically ruined within a week or two recently.
@CoastGrower,thanks. They are really starting to take off. I am quite excited to see how this season plays out.
I have one week old green crack and 20:1 CBD sprouted and growing. 3 of each. Will be planting them into something larger to harden off so I can get them outdoors also.
Looking good! Gonna follow. I’m on a similar schedule.
Just curious are you gonna stick with 15 gl for the rest of summer? I’m also in 15 gl now and have been wondering if it’ll be big enough until harvest.
@CTCan,my plan is to stick with the size I have. Since I have 7 plants directly in ground I wanted to see how much restriction there would be. They are currently quite tall and just starting outdoor growing season. I was somewhat concerned just how big these girls were gonna be.
In an outdoor greenhouse I recommend you replant them in well tilled earth topped with good compost. Forget the pots. That’s restricting growth.
Never heard of Baker Street. But I think I understand the naming motivation -
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll [smoke] the night away
And forget about everything
@growdoctordc,that’s right. Bakerstreet is 100% Indica with high thc. Ive not smoked this variety before so fingers crossed. I’m more of a Sativa girl. it seems to be growing well in side garden so fingers crossed. Sun is supposed to shine today so will take pics of girls in ground 😀
"I dusted all plants with DE over the weekend in anticipation of flowering beginning soon. " Hey man what's DE, sorry for being daft but I'm well new to this!
Had choco lopez indoor
Amazing plant
Have 3 clones runing outside, thinking even to make my cross seeds. Thats how good mine was and real gorillas dont have them anymore....
well its easier to transplant them in 2 weeks or so...so they stay well fed and have enough soil. but you can let them into the small pots too. Some of my plants are already outdoors ( i live in northern europa)yesterday they had their first storm and heavy rain. they sit in smartpots/ airpots and i wait for better weather to put them into ground( . so i took them on my veranda on a shady place, and if weather is to mean, i can pic them up and put them inside od in the greenhouse. You mentioned a greenhouse, they are old enough to put them into there.... ( depending in how cold it gets at night) hemp is a resiliant plant, i had grows started in february and directly after germination into the ground, the plant were slow, but she grew, in the last year i started in greenhouse around april and put them outside in may....
