Doing 4 different strains outdoor this year. 5 Blue Dream, 3 Romulan, 3 PPP, and 1 J1. Im not going to put the plants in 55 gallon drums like I did last year, Im just going to build some chicken wire baskets and hope for the best. Using the same area with the same natural ponds. The romulan came out great last year....im still smoking it now. The perimeter will be fenced and the plants will have bis ass rat traps around them. The pack rats did me dirty last year. Not sure when they will go in the ground, they are vegging indoor right now, and its pretty damn cold still. Just got back from a long trip to the emerald triangle, chatted with some heads, and got some good ideas on keeping the wild life away this year....solar powered AM radio perhaps?

the blue dream and J1 are about 2 feet tall right now, the rest are about a week old. The holes are about 3 feet square and 2 feet deep. Im seeing some good growth from the romulans, but the ppp just arent doing much. If the ppp dont step up thier game then I will probably replace them with platinum og. Ive been really busy and the weather still hasnt made up its mind, so the big ones will probably go outside tommorow.

they were around three feet, but the blue dreams were about the same size before I cloned the shit out of them. Now the Blue dream is back to that height and bushy bushy bushy. they have had a hard time hardening outside, the temps are cold at night and HOT during the day. This grow spot is ridiculous, the 3 ponds that supply the plants are around 200 gallons a piece, probably more. They are filled by the water table in the mountain, so they refill themselves. The fence will keep out the deer, but the damn pack rats are what i need to watch. The garden was flanked by two huge nests, but the backhoe made quick work of those. I like to use big ass rat traps.

that depends on the area your growing in. If you can put them in the ground, then I would, but dont forget about gophers...they will mess up your plants big time. Putting them into a 55 gallon drum, with drain holes, above ground is a primo pot. The more root space the better, but dont think you cant grow a big ass plant in a modest pot.
 
im trying to figure out a battle plan location,far enough away,and me being a first time grower and short as hell on cash im going to mess up i know it but im going to take your advice Thanks btw

went to check on the ladies today and they had a HARD weekend. I didnt harden them like i should have and they are wilting baaaaad. 2 of them ( the blue diesel and 1 Blue dream ) are doing good, but the of 7 are in critical condition. I should have put up a camo net to block some of the light, but im lazy, and i didnt, and now im regretting it. oh well, I have other plants ready to go outdoors and my buddy offered to give me some bannana OGs that are ready to go. some places might not need to harden plant as much, but out here in the desert mountains its a necessity.

Sweet Set up Bro! Im pretty sure nothing from mother nature is going to get to those but I would have to say that is gonna look objective from the sky. I would maybe consider trying to fill back in patch or something to blend in some camo for your gurls. Look Good though! FIRE IN DA HOLE

Steadman-i will post some pics later, i was just really bummin' after I saw them. I should have put up some sort of light barrier, and the camo netting would be perfect. I was trying to leave town for the weekend, and my partner was going to be in town. I got lazy.

Delux- yeah i know they will...most will...a few will...I can make more. :)

Poto- yeah i know it sticks out, but im in california and this is me and 1 other patient. I could cover up some of the dirt areas with the dead grass, but im not really worried about it. The cops know what kind of crops are worth there time, and which ones are just a waste of the tax payers money.
 
Here are some sweet plandownsized_0529001403b.jpgts I have had growing from seed since January and February (Countless frosts and all in Northern Nevada with no damage)
