Good 'Ol Backyard Growin

Hello all. Ive decided to ditch CFLs and start growing outdoors, Free light right. Making this journal so i have some sort of log of what im doing over summer and wanted to share it with poeple that are intrested in my grows, Hopefully someone is. I do plan on adding plants, I will be picking up some clones At some point. By the time the days start getting shorter and begin to Flower i would like to have somewhere around 20 plants outside.


Right now all i have out is Two plants. The one in the first couple pictures is in 1/2 Organic potting soi and 1/2 or MG Potting soil. Its 27 days old and Doesnt look too bad. I put the seed in without germing it. Started off growing kindof slow, Then just had a little Growth spert and is still goin. Right now im not feeding it anything.

The Smaller one is in a bag of MG Orchid soil mix. Just kinda through it together.


Im also starting some seeds under a 23 watt cfl. Will add another two when they all sprout. I plan on putting them into the buckets/pot that i have in my little box thing. With i had to make out of an outdoor shelfing stand. I had too make somthing easy too move and to keep my ADD riddled dog out of it. He loves ruining my day and digging up my plants. I plan on having 8 plants in my box and i might plant them in the ground or just keep them in the pots i havnt decided.

Going to be a great season, and an even better fall.

My box

hell yea van i'm going to stick around and see how this turns out +rep brother ......rob

Right on rob, glad your hoppin on. Cant wait for things too start taking off. I will be updating every 3-4 days.

What do you got goin this year?

Everythings going smooth so far, I planted my Sprouts i had under CFL cause they were stretching a bit. Put them in my box, I have one left under CFL i was going to put it under 12/12 and see if its a female then clone it when it gets bigger if it is. For my sprouts i cut the bottem off of the red cups and Put it over them cause it was windy today, They are now about 8 days old.

Im about to start feeding my biggest one that is now 33 days old. I have some Citrus & Advacado food the numbers are 13.6.6 Would this be suffeciant enough untill i get some better stuff? Or should i just wait untill i can buy somthing better.

Hmm. Well i planted the one i had under CFL in the ground today. First time ive ever grown in the ground. Dont even know if its a female or not. I am getting 4 GDP clones in 2 weeks that i will also be putting in the ground, But ill prolly wait till they are a little bigger then the one i just threw in the ground today. I got some Alaska All Purpose plant food yesterday along with some Kellogs Patio Plus soil, And some perlite. I used this soil for my inground grow, So far i do not have any of this soils in buckets. My plants in buckets all look good,Plan on topping the biggest one in a few days.



Any advice, comments, questions or shit else just post.

Befor i raked it and cleaned it up a little.

I will be feeding my Two biggest Plants on the far right of the box the Alaska Plant food tonight.

I am using 1/2 tablespoon for 1 1/2 gallons. How long before i should feed again and when should i up the dose?

those plants are beautiful at three mo and to still have the seed leaves , they are still feeding from the soil you have done everything right on this grow so far , if you feed at this point go with 1/4 strength and then plain water next time they are thirsty, look for any signs of burning of leaf curl ....

Thanks man. Luckly i added a little less then 1/3 of what i was supposed too. I will wait too feed again for awhile and see how they will take it. Next time or three i will add just water.

Topped the big one and it dropped the first 2 leaves. Going to start feeding it 1/3 strength food every week or so.


Trimming those fan leaves is a no no right?

leave the trimming to mother nature

Good luck, nice start!

Peace
doublejj

Thanks alot man and good luck to you.

I hope they will look like your greenhouse plants soon

Dog broke a few branchs in half and a few leaves off but the damage was not that bad. Doesn't look stunted or wilted. Other then that everythings looking good. Im going to feed my biggon tonight for the second time. 1/2 tbls per gallon of the Alaskan Plant all purpose plant food.

keep an eye on them van they may want to get big

Hot damn, how tall is the plant?


Thats quite the beast myfriend

6' tall and i'm starting to tie it down , its been topped to create four colas its thick as shit and just now starting to bloom

She sounds sexy!

You have it in a thread?

no , i've started to get more private about my grows these days

Feeding all the plants Alaskan fish emulsion. 1/2 TBLS per 1 1/2 gallons of water every 10-12 days. (1/2 of what is directed.)

They might look a little wilted in picture because i just came back from a 3 day trip to reno and had not watered.
