2020-05-19 (Day 62)
The big day has come! Transplanted on may 17th into her final home, the bottom half of a 55 gallon drum. Didn’t have a chance to pick up any Gaia Green 4-4-4 or Blood Meal yet but I will this week and top dress. The soil this year is a 50/50 mix of Promix HP and soil from the cows barnyard, kind of was worried about some burn from the mix being too hot but knock on wood everything looks good so far. Last year I solely used Promix HP and GHE nutes. It got quite cumbersome as the media dried up nearly every or every other day and I used so much nutes. I’m going to flush this week then transition to Gaia. This girl had a flawless transplant unlike 2 of her sisters. Temps are a little cool at night and frost is not 100% out of the question so I’m checking every night for the time being and I’ll cover if it’s in the forecast. Likely by the end of the week I’ll be topping again and I’ll be up to 16 new colas, I’ve never mainlined outdoors before but I’m thinking I’ll maintain 32 colas on one girl and try for 64 on another. Stay tuned and see what the sun can do!🌞🇨🇦
Congestion of 256 colas.... our shitty unstable weather. Might be a Ontario botrytis accident waiting to happen. But with adequate spacing and separation through training and some luck weather wise. Could be a huge trim party waiting to happen.
Unbelievable. This is a special build man. Very, very nice. You're kicking ass out there and all your girls are looking great👌. All that space! Little jealous, haha.
Cheers man, keep er up🙂👍
Looking good man! It appears I'm behind on your updates, but better late then never. Looking to use Gaia Green Bone meal 2-16-0? If so, I used it last grow during pot up from 3 to 5, as I was having wild pH swings. If you use It outdoors, I've been warned about dogs! They smell bone and start digging to look for it, hahaha. Anyways man, I feel that's a good move👍. Also, if you're looking to transplant outside, check out a rooting powder agent. Been around for ever and just a basic rooting hormone. I use "root stim #1" for softwood. Insta-Tap, no delay, no burn👍👍.
Cheers and good luck this week. Disregard unsolicited advice if needed, haha. I'm just spit balling 😅
@ButtersStotch, I trust Gaia and whatever works for their outdoor applications, I trust it'll do just dandy. I used the promix too... and my pH also swung down too, even with soil conditioners. Currently trying to raise it right now. Hmmmm, maybe a different medium next time(?).
And cool man! Those rooting agents are fantastic in small amounts. Plus it's biobizz so you can trust it'll be quality and actually work👍. And visa versa. Ever see something amiss with my grows or have suggestions when I run into issues, please! don't hesitate to drop me a line and throw me some knowledge. I'll take it all man, seriously, haha.😀
Hope you have a great week with the kids man. I feel they're going to start moving real fast on ya, real quick here. Great! Cheers man👊
@JinksyGrows, thanks for the warning about the dogs! I Didn’t even look into the bone meal but it think I may do that now man thanks! I was thinking of using the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 to top dress throughout. I want to wait a bit as I think my soil may be a bit hot as it’ll be 50/50 promix hp and soil from the cows barnyard. After transplant I’ll see how shocked they get and may use the ghe for another week or two until they get adjusted. I actually have some root stuff I won back on my first grow from bio buzz I haven’t used that I may end up mixing up for the transplant now that you mention it. And I never disregard advice, its welcome and appreciated!
A majestic monstrosity. Wonderful to behold. If the weather cooperates she’s going to be spectacular. Have you considered building her a mini greenhouse?
looking wonderful and this will be a huge monster for sure! I'd wrap some support around that main stem to prevent splitting it in half, what do you think? did it ever happen to split the stem in half?
@@occultgreen420, yes my gorilla glue was supposed to be mainlined as well but I split the stem so I abandoned the method in that case. I will definitely be supporting the stems in the next couple weeks, definitely before flower starts!
Nothing like an outdoor grow like this one - very nice job 👌 love the size of the plants and training applied - hope the weather aligns well for those crackers growing 🤞
@Crawlndog, thanks man! Not quite 64 colas as some I culled as they were small and larfy. But I’m stilll more than happy. Just harvested a clone off this girl and the buds were hard as gravel!
Beautiful👍
Plant looks amazing, My Big Buhda Cheese turned into trees, well over 6' almost 7'.
I'm still using Gaia 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 as a base nute.
Swithed to Grotek for the outside garden,so far some Black pearl, Biofuse and Monster grow pro(heard good things)
Gave my Cindy a tiny amount of the Biofuse(beneficial bacteria) on day 20, on advise from the rep.
I think I like this brand, it's all water soluable powder, easy to store and I'm pretty sure it's all organic😀
Still experimenting 😵
Later
Grow Big!! no issues there, LOL
Wow.....Amazing to see the difference between the two but what would her sister look like if she was in a bigger pot too, would she of branched out more?
The whole gardens looking stunning man!!
Wonderfulness 🌿🌞
