Eeeeeeeyy boys n girls. Hmmm where to begin...this year I started from clone (traveled to a medical state to get them from a buddy) which makes things much easier knowing that buds WILL come from all my plants if everything goes according to plan. I got the clones from a buddy on may 29th...they were cloned using "bubbleponics" since he grows hydro...and were placed in soil the night before I got them...so I built a humidity tent & let them sit in the 16-oz red party cups for a good week to let them root well before transplanting to their guerilla locations. I've got 6 guerilla spots this year (ranging from one plant...(turned out to not be such a great location sun-wise once the brush filled in) to 6 plants. One of my locations (which has 4 plants) offered excellent soil, full sun and great camoflauge but I had failed to realize that a nearby river would rise as high as it has since this past week's rain and 3 of them are semi-submerged in water...good chance I might lose all 4 of em :(


Anyway all my holes are about 2.5 x 2.5 ft....half native soil and half (one 40lb bag) of organic manure/hummus. They went in-ground between early to mid june...and I've started top-dressing with some organic all-purpose granular plant feed as well as Dr. Earth's organic bloom plant feed. I've only had to water during the very beginning of the season- rain has been cooperative (not too much nor too little) although I did put cages around them when it rained a few days in a row one week (to keep slugs away). I've got 5 bagseed that I want to put in-ground today (still in 16oz party cups)


Here are 6 pictures... many more to come...:leaf:

They're looking pretty good. What strain are they? Are you considering topping them to get bushes or just gonna let them do their own thing?
 
I've got 22 plants total...18 from clone

the guy I got em from said 16 of em are "enigma" which, if I remember correctly, he said is "a northern lights #5/sour diesel hybrid"

I asked him for his earliest-flowering variety


He tossed in 2 extras..."berry" something strain...sorry, not sure


My only concerns were having an early-finishing strain (indica dominant) and starting from clone to assure myself of the sex


Oh- good news- visited that semi-flooded patch today...(the water level has fallen)...all 4 plants are doing fine...one of them was elevated on a hill a bit higher up than the others and is by-far my biggest plant ever...so I'm psyched to see how that one turns out seeing as how it's not even july yet...that particular one has 4 heads


I'm gonna go back to that plot before our next heavy rainfall with more soil to fill in the holes to avoid that minor flooding issue


I didn't top any of them...some of them have 2-3 heads just cuz of the way the clones were cut....others don't....I figure they'll produce the same amount either way so I'm just gonna let them do their thing


more pics to come! happy growing!
 
thanks guy


update:

I'm using aerated compost tea for the first time this year

(combining 20lbs of composted cow manure with about a cup of mollasses & organic flowering fertilizer (bone/bloodmeal, feather meal, kelp, myccorizhae, etc) and letting it brew in a trash barrel with a fish tank pump for 2 days before feeding the girls

I've used mollasses before but haven't gone the extra step and made a semi-complex, aerated tea...expecting great results!


oh and i'll be sure to get the rest of those pictures taken and posted up...hey this is some pressure man, i want to be able to have something great to show off ;)
 
Hey guys im growing in rhode island in kinda of a woodsy area...i have 26 out there in 55 gallon trash bags with 2 cubic feet of soil in each....was looking for some opinions how how there gonna do...appreciate it guys!!
