Also I was thinking I was getting the most possible cause it was a 20-inch Auto that started budding 2 weeks ago and therefore won't get any bigger

As others put...Most any real strain will get pounds. The difference is how many gallons of good rich soil you grow them in. The pics were in 200 gallons in ground. This year I'm doing 400 gallons above ground. Want more buds...give each them more soil

Im growing blueberry and all my clones from it will be cut early usually outgrowing my mothers in square meter patches in the ground per each plant or clone because of our long season in south Alabama but thanks because I knew bigger pots or holes made bigger plants but thought the roots only extended a certain amount

There’s different treatments you can put on the seeds that will help with root development. It helps overcome root mass barriers.

I don't know about those but I simply use perlite and take about a 6 inch cutting none of that 45 degree angle cut BS. Usually then in the past I would place each 1 in half pint zip lock bags with holes cut in the bottom for drainage and place them in a big plastic container with holes cut in the bottom too for drainage. I like pint size bags because I develop roots in 3-5 days but leaving the cuttings in the bags a couple weeks assures I have huge rooting systems and i forgot, I place all these in the shade and they never wilt even in 100 degree weather I get 98% to live. After a couple weeks I take 6 inch pots for each cutting and about a third of the pot is filled with soil medium then I set the bag of roots with clone inside the pot and carefully pull cut the plastic bags away from the huge rooting systems then I pack a little extra perlite around that then the last third I put soil medium on top of that and place the pots back in the shade a couple more weeks and they all start looking like their about to die and all the sudden new growth starts and its been a total of 3-4 weeks depending on how cloudy and rainy its been then slowly I adjust the pots from the shade to full sunlight over a week or 2 totaling 4-6 weeks and man they take off a foot tall within a week. I top them and all side branches are a foot long within 2 weeks and they outgrow their mother because I take about 50-100 cuttings around middle June or first of July so they are growing full blast by August first then the flowering stretch comes and they usually at least quadruple if not grow 6 times the foot high size with foot long branches depending if its sativa or indica. This year in thinking about trying a new to me method called air draft clone in which the cuttings root in mid air while on the plant already getting used to full light before you even cut it at about 2-3 weeks then plant straight imlnto the sun.ill explain how to do that later bilut I haven't ever done it that way myself

This year is the Coldest yet for many places in over 150 years. Are you at all worried there might be more frost coming?

I saw pictures of hail from Alabama this year that could have killed people.

We had a tornado or two last night and heavy rain but im not worried about any more frost in south Alabama. We have hit 40 in the past week a couple timbut no frost in over 2 weeks and im starting my plants indoors even if it was 100 degrees because the seeds cost too much that I lost 8 blueberry auto due to weather and the only reason the other 2 survived was because of letting them get 10-14 days old inside with strong rooting systems by then and then I always put mine inside cages after that until their a couple feet tall because after that they are less likely for animals to bother them though this season im going one step further. I bought some fence 50 feet rolls that I will cut tree limbs off several feet long and very sturdy to use instead of expensive fence posts and wrap the fencing around these posts and either staple to the posts or tie them with something like the brown thin nylon rope I use to tie my plants with down or which ever way I need to train them but no im not worried

I feel you, babies are definitely tender. One of the most tedious aspects of the whole season imo. Hope you kill it & have good season!

Most is beautiful country especially about 200 miles north when you start getting into foothills and mountains also with a population of only 4.5 million people and a quarter of that is in Birmingham. I live close to dothan which according to google loll,is the highest quality of life place to live in Alabama and its metro is a tenth the population. I love dothan but metro has a quarter million people while dothan by itself is around 70,000 people. Where I live there's 2000 but I still am very careful because neighbors surround me and everyone knows im crazy that is if they knew im growing several patches of weed right across a ditch in the only woods around right behind mine and everyone else's back yard but not trying to sound arrogant but im pretty swift but I have to go to my plants at night mostly but then again I purposely during the day time make sure they see me doing things like throwing watermelon rines or leftovers into those woods or walking my dog around and throwing bird and squirrel feed out while being watched on purpose plus all my neighbors are friends that are old and mind their business but always remember this if nothing else. LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS AND A FISH THAT DOESN'T OPEN HIS MOUTH DOESN'T GET CAUGHT!
