This is my 5th season outdoor and it's progressively getting better every year, managed 12-13ft tall plants this year in 45 gallon fabric pots, my biggest grow yet! I laid down weed mat, then put a 3" thick layer of mulch ontop of that, then pallets and then the plants. I use Frontrow AG throughout the grow and some PH up/down, threw in a little GH Root Booster towards end of veg. I used 6.0-6.3 PH water with around 800-1000PPM of nutrients. Flushed final week of grow and harvested, ended up with a substantial amount of mold, so I removed and kept going. Unfortunately unlike last summer this summer was very humid and rainy so it was VERY HARD to keep the mold under control. Plants finished this week and I've been harvesting them. I started these ALL from seed indoors and grew them to about 2-3ft before putting them outdoors. I used a 500W KINGBRITE QB for my indoor veg. and a set of LUXX CLONE LED's for the clones/seedlings (T5). I live in Maine by the way so I get mold almost yearly due to rain/humidity (stays around 70-80% humidity in the fall time.) I do my best to get early strains and ones that are mold resistant, unfortunately even the Super Skunk which is VERY easy and resistant received some so I feel theres nothing I could really have done to better combat it. Next year I will be building a green house, this year im working on my indoor with (2) 500W KINGBRITE QB, so far my indoor babies look and smell amazing.
Strains were:
ALL GAS OG
