Here we grow again😎 Hope all is well and everyone is staying safe👊 This is my first attempt ever to grow photoperiod plants, so I thought that I would grow them outside. I dug a square garden about 8' long 5' wide and 2' deep and mixed my own soil with some not so secret ingredients😶 I started these plants in the small tent (2x4) under the viparspectra V 600 and V 450 and I put them outside yesterday👍 So far so good, did some research and found that some flowers and plants are good to plant with your cannabis plants. Some of these plants attract good bugs and some repell the bad ones,everything is an experiment, so we'll see what happens😏 Thanks for stopping by and checking out my diary Grow BIg

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by👊 It's been a good week, first time growing photoperiods and I have to say these plants are monsters. They are growing like crazy and they make these autos that I've been growing look like little bonzai trees( still love my AUTOS)😛 I picked up some MONSTER GROW PRO from grow tek and mixed it at .5ml/liter, they sure liked that💪 Been giving them a little sensi cal-mag-xtra and gaia green 4-4-4 and a good shot of worm casting tea today, I don't want to over feed, so plain water for a couple of days at least. had to throw in a few pics of my plants that I have growing around outside, they are all loving life, the peony, I planted last year is flowering for the first time, beautiful red flowers👌 Hope all is well🙏 Grow Big!!

WOW!! these plants got really big, they are all over 60'' (5') Top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4 yesterday(july 8) Been feeding a little Monster grow, Terpinator and bush doctor, kelp me kelp you. Approx. 5 gallons every second day I've been having temps in the high 30's + humidex in the 40's ( NUTS), the bush doctor seems to help with the heat. Today the plants are 63 days old, super happy and loving life👌 Next time I will definately plant them a little farther apart, I can't even see my little companion plants, but they seem to be growing O.K Until Next week Grow Big!! Just a little picture update on day 67 Plants are loving life, they are getting really big, around 6' tall

Hey everyone, another week grows by😏, plants are 74 days old from sprout and loving life. Haven't done too much to these plants, topped them once awhile ago and topped them again the other day, trying to slow growth down a bit, they are already over 6' tall.Top fed them again half and half gaia green 4-4-4, 2-8-4 and watered in with a mixture of monster grow pro at .5ml/gal, and bud booster at .5ml/gal, I can't believe how fast these plants grow, they got huge, and still a long ways too grow😵 They survived two hailstorms on the same day with minor damage🙏, some hail blew right through some of the fan leaves Until next week Grow Big!!

These plants are tough💪 Two thunderstorms last week with hail and lots of rain😵 Two thunderstorms yesterday, no hail but tons of rain😵 From one extreme to the next,getting tested on my first outdoor grow( so far so good )😀 Fed them tiny amounts of monster grow and some sensi-cal-mag-xtra this week. The rest of the time just water. They all seem to be loving life, got a few 11 pointers (huge fan leafs). Hope everyone is healthy, until next week, Grow Big!!

Hey everbody, hope all is well🙏 It's been a really good week, zero thunderstorms and a couple of afternoon showers, temps a little more reasonable around 25-27c😅 12-15c at night. Today is day 90 days from sprout and they are loving life. Haven't done too much, just a bit of defoliation and the next day you can hardly tell, their growing so fast, 8' tall and still growing💪 As far as feeding goes, top fed them with gaia green 4-4-4, 5 tbls each, along with 5 gallons of compost that I made, split between all plants Then I watered it all in with 20L(5gal.) MonsterGrowPro mixed at .5ml/4L(1gal.). Been feeding a little Terpinator and molasses now and then and the rest of the time just water, I like to fill a jug or two of water from the hose in the evening and let it warm up overnight outside becuase the water comes out of the well at 5-7c(40f) and water in the mornings. Until next week, GROW BIG!!

Hey everybody, hope all is well🙏 It has been a crazy week, two more thunderstorms, 0 hail. You should have seen my yard, just like the movie, A river runs through it😵 Anyways, I noticed some discoloration on some of the older, bigger fan leaves so I dosed the plants with a big amount of organic molasses, 5ml/l, 4 liters each and I gave them a big dose of sensi-cal-mag-xtra 3ml/liter, 4 liters each, seems to have helped. Been checking very closely everyday, and finally I see pistils😁, today is day 101 from sprout, gave the plants a feeding of Gaia green 2-8-4,approx. 6 tbls each and watered it in with bud booster(green planet) .25ml/4liters, two liters each plant. I think they stopped growing, over 9' tall and loving life. Thanks for stopping by👊see you in a week Grow Big!!

Hey everybody, hope all is well🙏 Today the plants in the outside garden are 114 days old, had to remove 3 big buhda cheese as they turned into males, thought for sure that 5 out of 5 were females because they took so long to decide😏 Anyways, kind of depressing😢 But on a good note, the other 2 B.B.C. and the W.C. are looking really heathy and are about 9' tall. They are starting to flower now, so hopefully I don't have anymore hiccups, but from now on feminized seeds only😀 Went to town yesterday, picked up some White Widow(photo,fem) from Sonoma seeds,some Gelato(photo,fem) from Blimburn seeds and received 2 free Early Miss autos from the Crop King. So I have white widow photo, white widow auto,gelato photo, white cookie photo,early miss auto,lambs breath auto, READY TO GROW, just have to decide which ones first😏 Thanks for stopping by👊 Grow Big!!

Tough week😵 Three storms,90kmh,55mph winds, tons of rain, temps 12-15c(55-60f) during the day dropping at night to 6-7c, tonight supposed to drop to 2c😶. The big buhda cheese are fairing alright, the white cookie is having a tough go,in the last six days one big branch snapped right off,this morning woke up to three more snapped branches which I tried to bandage(good old elec. tape). So now I'm just hoping for some good weather and sunshine for awhile🙏 Thanks for stopping by,hope all is well Grow Big!!

Hey everybody, I'm back😀 Hope all is well🙏 I've been really busy moving and helping the new owners of my business get their feet on the ground and learn where everything is and stuff, so now I'm officially RETIRED👍👍👍😵 crazy, never thought I'd see the day... The pics were taken on day155,oct 11, chopped them on the same day, would have liked to leave them a little longer, but the temps were 0c and colder at night, and it snowed the next day,about 1''😶 So, it was kind of a disappointing harvest, tons of little popcorn buds, so I took all the tops, about 2 feet from top down and gave the rest away.The buds that I kept are still hanging in the basement, might get approx. 3-5 ounces from the big buhda cheese and 1-2 ounces from the white cookies, it took quite a beating, lost alot of branches from the weather. This whole grow was a first for me,growing outside is different, learned alot, will do things quite a bit different next time. will post more pics once everything is dry and ready to go in the jars Later! Thanks for stopping by👊

Wish that I had more time, needed another 2-3 weeks, but I sure learned alot. 4 oz of big buhda cheese and 1oz of white cookies dry and in the jar. Tried a puff of each one, still tastes like the field, but there was something there, put a little smile on your face and a squint in your eyes👌 Might grow again but not outside. Later. Grow Big!!!

Looking nice🌱👍 growing indoors, with photo period seeds you have so much more control over training and veg. time. Outside your gonna harvest a barrel full of all the girls cooperate. Good luck

northernMikecommented5 years ago
@@JP148,Hey J.P how grows the battle? You were right, plants need to be spaced a lot farther apart, they are all over 5' tall and 3' wide and growing like there is no tomorrow Should be a big harvest if I don't have any issues,still have a few months to go Later Grow Big!!

@northernMike, yeah they look good. I just flipped 12/12today. Only 7 weeks veg but getting harder to keep tent cool. If yours grow like I think they will outside. Your gonna wish they were farther apart.

northernMikecommented5 years ago
@@JP148,Hey thanks Not going to do any training, I just topped them today. Pretty sure I got 5/5 females out of the big buhda cheese😛 These plants are growing like crazy, at least a foot in the last week, so I topped them just to halt vertical growth for awhile. Will post pics soon Later!!

@Mrs_Larimar,It's been really dry around here, except for a couple of storms in which the rain comes down in buckets😧. Seems like we don't get nice afternoon showers anymore, someone or something just dumps the whole works at the same time, could of went kayaking down the middle of my driveway the other day(Nuts) Hoping for a normal fall this year🙏 hope all is well.

@Mrs_Larimar,Hey, Thanks for the advice👊 Been giving them sensi cal-mag-xtra(advanced nutrients)4-0-0, 2ml/liter, and it's not spreading, the plants look a little happier, I fed them again last night with Gaia Green 2-8-4, 6 tbls each. Should have known, these plants are monsters and I should have fed them alot more, still used to those smaller autos that don't eat very much. Thanks again! Grow Big!!
