tell u the truth, nutrients aint been a factor for my plants till last week. ive been just watering.but ive started on wednesday to add nutri's ,ive started with half a gallon each plant of boost + veggie growth in a tea like mixture.i might bump it up to a full gallon. i water once a week. depending on how dry my ground gets,i might do a very light water on a sat or sunday night.i started all my plants in pots using 70% miracle grow and the rest is store soil.once i transfered them, i stoped using miracle grow and just went with the store soil and manuer.i have a mixture of boost + flowering mix waiting for the next process.

can i give my plant some beer? i hear happy buds come from happy plants lol. just like cows in china are given wine and beer to help them relax.By ZZ top or maybe "She's got Legs" If that doesn't work
try a little "Wild Thing" by the Trogs.

My method says Sept 1 at around 36 degrees latitude
heres a picture of my brother in laws.hes on the opposite side of my fence and has 4 kiwi sativa's aka 2 pounders.we planted all plants in the ground the same time.his are about 3 weeks younger than mine.look at the difference in size. will his grow more or basicly remain small till it flowers?
sept 1 eh. so its about 4 or so weeks.ok coolio,cant wait.

His will catch up a bit and you should see some sort of growth spurt with the plants bushing up etc. I think they will always be smaller than yours.

It works pretty good. Click on my name and check out the pics.

Its all on the strain type.If you have indica dominants then they should be flowering now,or real soon,mine are already growing buds and started pre flower in the last week of july.If you have sativas they will normally start flower early -mid august on hybrids,and normally like mid- late august on full sativas,so,times even stretching into september..If its early flowerer like indica it should be done early-mid september,if its full sativa don't expect anything until middle october sometimes even november,but it all depends on traits,some are bred for specific climates,flowering times,yields and highs

Thats actually when the sun is most intense and produces best growing light.If your fdd with a monster back yard,and can pull 12-13 hours of light a day it should not be a problem to get monsters
notice the shade. its now 5 pm.so by 6 its in full shade.noon to 6 i get sunlight.not bad.

your flowering start really depends on two things... your latitude (you can find the flower chart on my journal), and when the sun really becomes visible in the sky, and really hidden behind mountains/horizon when it sets. Direct light is relative to its photosynthesis, transpiration, and other things (like fluid transfer rates etc.), once the sun is up, its light reflects off of all kinds of things in the atmosphere and on the ground, so once the sun is up, they are getting light, just not as much as direct sunlight. Purples are predominately Sativa! Not indica. I have grown many many kinds of Sativa's and purples. Indeed I have three different kinds of purple growing right now, and they are all staiva dominant strains! GDP does have more indica in it though... just look at the actual buds when they are done to get a good idea of what I mean. Sativa's could flower for up to 15 weeks, indicas as little as 8 weeks. It depends on Trichromatic development, density, and frost (unless you feel like putting a heater out there). The best kinds of music to play are alternating R&B (for getting rid of spiders, yes it really does work if the sound source is close enough to the plants and directly on the ground) and fast Rock (for root stimulation and increasing plants vigor, this is scientifically proven), also, buds are denser and a little darker in color if you play classical at night (for some unknown reason). Harvest time really has very little to nothing to do with planting/transplanting time (unless you are growing ruedialus, those are self blooming, on a timeclock so to speak), it all depends on amounts of light and the quality of environment/care they have. Mine, I expect, will be done in October as well, maybe Cinderella in late September, maybe Super Skunk in early November. When growing different strains, there are often different harvest times (this seems the case for you), so get a good magnifying glass and check on trichromatic development starting in the last few days of the sixth week of flowering. You can tell when flowering starts because instead of having spread out white hairs (pre flowers) you will get tightly bunched groups of hairs (hairs are called pistils, the female pollen collecting part of the plant). Pulling up all the grass there will help keep bugs away and keep the humidity down during flowering. Mulching with sticks etc. will help to ensure fewer unwanted weeds sprout, keeping moisture in the soil, and help moderate the moisture in the air during flowering (simply remove the top layer of mulch). Hope that answered some questions....

They won't harm the plant, but if one got stuck to the resin just add it to your diet. The ants are good in your garden because they take away dead bug,debris; plus they tunnel around your plants and that helps aerate your root system.hey everyone,im back to show my 3 month old plants.i have 1 real big problom,ants.i have alot of ants going in and out from 1 of my plants ground.Will this damage my plant? here are some pics.
the 2 front ones side by side are purples,last 2 are kiwi sativa aka 2 pounders.
