yeah i also got the cash to get seeds..i'm thinking himalayan gold, skunk 1, or any kush. i also have 1 fem durban poison, 1 fem northern lights, 10 diesel ryders, and 5 super skunk...so i'm gonna have a good 09 outdoor either way. i think i'm gonna do an early seed run with the diesel ryders!
the days dont even get that long in most places. when you people tell you that your plants need 18 hours of light and shit they're usually talking about growing indoors. if you plant after march 21st then you should be okay.
thanks alot man, i need all the help i can get!
You're welcome.. I'd like to do an outdoor this year, too. Maybe just regenerate one of my indoor plants. They'll finish in about six weeks -- perfect timing to transplant outside.
No problem.. I'd like to do an outdoor this year, too. At least, I will try to regenerate my indoor plants for a second round of bud.. also came across some fortuituous Thai seeds that 'twould be great outside..
twice a day is WAY too much water. i live in arizona where it's way hotter and way dryer than it is in the south (i would know, i used to live in alabama) and i water about every few days during the summer. maybe once a day if its unusually dry and hot. watering twice a day will drown your plants in no time. you could try drilling a 3/16ths inch hole in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, fill the bucket with water and set it a few inches away from the stem of your plant. this will keep them watered for around 10 days, even in the hottest conditions. then just go out and refill the buckets and your good for another 10 days or so. you should also put some cheese cloth or a old shirt over the top of the bucket so you dont get all kinds of creepy crawlies and shit in your buckets.I usually put my girls outside around mother's day. I had an Indica last year who was vegged indoors to about a foot with 5+ tops and she went outside on mother's day, ended up filling up the entire back half of my greenhouse. 5+ months of veg will do that! Our area just gets so hot you'll really have to water alot outside. I water atleast twice a day. I really haven't found any strains that do bad outside. Grown lots of Indicas and Sativas alike, also quite a few hybrids and they all do about the same. We had two humongous Mexican Sativas one year that were pushing 14ft, had to run a hose from a creek a few hundred yards away to keep them watered. This year the only thing outside is gonna be another mega clone of the Indica I had last year. She's oldschool Afghani pure Indica, I got seeds from a neighbor who had them stored in a shed. I wouldn't grow Indicas before I found her, she starts frosting fan leaves first week of flower and has this pungent dank smell. I've always wanted to grow Maui Wowie but can never get seeds.
We should probably stay clear as to what we're talking about -- watering plants in pots outside, or watering plants set in Mother Earth.... I could see plants in pots outside in a greenhouse EASILY needing 2X a day waterings. For plants in the ground, DrDank is right -- 2X a day would kill 'em quick.
Thanks for knowing everything~
