Time for the first update on the 2 outdoor plants:

Here's plant 1 on the day that I planted it outside(June 7th)



Here it is today(June 22nd)



Plant 2 was a sickly little thing when I put it out on the 7th



However, she looked fabulous today




I fed both of them some Jack's Classic 30-10-10 Orchid Special. Both plants are about 30inches tall. I was surprised to see that they were in such great shape. Boy what a bonus these two plants are going to make for!!!!

hey man I am new to this website but like you I have been a soil grower for a few years and I just cant get over the yield i see from these aeroponic grow logs i had just a few questions
1)whats the time interval for the aeroponic sprayer
2) In comparison with soil which one do enjoy more I mean personal prefernce not the oblivious factors lol
3)what would you have done different with this project
thank you for time again I a new here dont really know the "rules" but am a serious grower and alll input is much obliged

1. 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off

2. I like Aero better than soil because I know exactly where I stand in regards to PH and PPM at all times. Plus, the plants grow 5x faster.

3. I'd use 6 inch pipe to accomodate the massive root system that comes with a scrog. 4 inch will work but things are getting a little cramped.

Thanks for stopping by.

Those girls are look great!! They seem to have taken to their new enviornment very well! Now they'll be trees!
I moved a few outside about 2 weeks ago and all of the leaves turned white.....I guess 'sun bleached?' The new growth is okay and they're seeming to come around(still have them in 5 gal pots). I used to start all my outdoor girls in the greenhouse and this was never an issue......and now I am just paranoid of bringing bugs back to the house......was how I got mites in my grow a few years ago(swore I'd never grow outside again).

Anyway, looks GREAT!!!

A shot to show more scale






I fed both with 30-10-10 Jack's Classic(2nd feeding since planted).... with a gallon of Distilled water each. They have been in the ground for exactly 27 days and are getting plenty of sunshine and rain. I havent actually measured them with a tape measurer, but I'm guessing each plant is 32-36 inches tall at this point....and that's conservative.

I'm certainly pleased with the way they look! Thoughts?

That's awesome.
The sun is gonna get stronger.
You'll need to water more often.
What are you doing to keep the deer away ?

The deer havent touched them... I piss near them and have beer out for the slugs. So far the critters and the bugs have been nice to me. I think once they get so big they lose their palatability for deer don't they?

I've been hiking water to them which takes me 10 minutes or so....no biggie. I'm aware that as they bud they will need more water.... I'll just have to walk more....lol.

You have anything going on now Earl?

I came home and found my 5 footer was laying on the ground,
cut about 2 inches above the dirt.

Talk about a sick feeling.

Cut worms or grasshoppers or some damn bug cut the stem.

That's the last time I tried to grow outdoor..1986

I am growing a stinkywidowcindy
and a Shaughn of the Dead,
both in hempy buckets.
Stinky widow
Shaughn of the Dead

I'll start again in september
after a trip to texas
and some visiting relatives in august.

I don't know what I'm going to grow yet,
I may score some clones from another grower.

Beautiful plants. Your buds are always so beautiful. I hope that some of mine look as nice. I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given me.

I grew my outdoor plants inside until they were 18 inches tall....that's the only explanation I can give as to why everything has left it alone.

It sucks to hear that you lost a 5 footer to BUGS! If you have a spot you should try it again. I've been surprised as to how well the outdoor experiment has gone.

I can't wait for your next journal.

Gotta love solar powered plants.
I hope you get some monsters like this one.

HAHA! I've seen that picture before. What an amazing plant!

Update

Plant 1 is at 45 inches



Plant 2 is at 37 inches



The indoor scrog is on day 28 of flower and doing fine

Beautiful outdoor girls there, wbinwv!! And the scrog...........yeah, amazing!
It'll be very interesting to see those outdoor girls fill out and just go.......haha!!
I kept one girl outside this year........in my yard, none the less. I am just so paranoid of going near it for fear of getting something on me and bringing it inside, yah know? <----happened to me 3 yrs ago and took me a year to rid my grow of the borg......yuk shite. When I used to grow quite a few outdoors, I just always changed out of my clothes and showered before I came near the house---easier to do when your grow's not in your yard and you plan your travels instead of going out there hourly at times.........

Hope your having a great weekend!!

Canopy at day 35.... just over 1/2 way there. They are sticky to the touch and the trich development is really starting to show.




One of the tops



I'm going to water the outdoor ladies later today so I'll have a pic update then.

That's an amazing canopy, wbinwv!! And only half way there........haha!! I was wondering how they were looking.......I bet your outside girls have about doubled in height(unless you did some tieing or topping) by now...... I know my girl had really taken off to the races in the past couple of weeks......

So hows the smell in the room getting??
Have a great week!!

Thanks bro! The outdoor plants are really starting to thicken up nice.

Plant 1 is 56 inches tall




Plant 2 is 43 inches tall




These are both going to be 5+ feet before they flower. Is it outrageous to think that they might end up as 8 footers? I can't wait to see.

My AC and dehumidifier keep the odor to a minimum believe it or not.

waiting for more pics I love this thread grreat job i have been amazed at the scrog setup and results so far

The closet rod where did you get that or how did you get one long enough did you modify it I have been searching everywhere
