Tga December seeds indoor to outdoor

I started 3 tga strains from seed on December 18th indoors under a t5. Conspiracy kush(5), cuvee(3) and jesus og(3). Im reusing soil from my outdoor summer crop last year to create new supersoil, I had 45 gallon pots filled around 1/3 full of supersoil the other 2/3 was roots organic potting soil. I treated the reused soil as my base mix of potting media and re amended it based on the ss recipe it's in the process of "cooking". I'll be vegging these plants using roots organics potting soil transplanting them up to 3 gallon pots until I can determine the genders and kill the males after that I plan on transplanting them in 7 gallon pots and will continue to veg them indoors til early March then transition them outside to induce flowering in 25 gallon smart pots with ss. I'm going to set up a hooptie and cover them with greenhouse plastic during heavy rain. I picked heavy indica dominate strains in hopes that they will weather the colder temps of March and finish in late april. I am in socal and never pulled a grow off like this and was interested in any experienced feedback or open discussions. I am also going to attempt to re veg these plants after I harvest the buds and when the daylight hours increase enough to allow mother nature to revert them back to veg getting two crops from one plant

your on the right track

The only issue I see is putting your vegging plants into 25 gallons of SS then putting them outside to flower. I believe the SS to be high in nitrogen, which is not desirable for flowering plants. I would design your SS to have more phosphorus & potassium than nitrogen. Everything else looks spot on. Flowering plants need some nitrogen, but in lower amounts than what SubCools SS has (assuming your using SubCools recipe).
Good luck,
TMB-

Thanks for the input I followed subs recipe pretty much just changed it slightly by adding a box of down to earth vegan mix instead of the the single doses of the kelp and alfalfa meal and a bit more of the clam shells. I may just throw in another 2-5 pounds of bat guano and blood meal. I don't know the strength of the reused soil but I'm sure there was still plenty to be broken down. The original ss was created almost a year ago exactly to subs recipe using roots organic as the base media and it worked extremely well but the plants did have a chance to veg into the original 45 gallon pots layerd with the super soil at the bottem so I see your point

I'd probably save that super soil for a full season grow and just throw them in a good regular soil since your only gonna be flowering for a couple months.

I'm interested in seeing if I can re use this soil and if I can pull of a spring crop at the same time. Water only is the way I want to grow I'm not sure a regular good potting soil will be hot enough to allow that

Ocean forest will

What's wrong with teas ? You need to feed the root zone. Compost and ewc teas work very well with super soil for me.

Thanks for the good advice. I'll plug em into 25 gallon pots filled with ffof and put them out in early March. I'll use the ss to brew teas for them maybe once or twice a week and after I harvest I'll transplant them into 45 gal pots with the ss on the bottem half and let them reveg and do its thing

I need clarification.......Here in CA we have a bagged potting soil called "Supersoil" ..... are speaking of that or referencing the Super soil mixtures made from different components to grow in....? I do use the bagged Supersoil and it works great.

It was homemade using subcools recipe. I used roots organic potting soil as the base media and I originally mixed it together last April

Thanks Cherry, Ill have to check out there recipe.....happy tokin

They were planted straight into roots organic one month ago. Just transplanted them, I think they stunted a little late on the transplant by about a week I feel

When in December did you start those?

Once you get transplants "down" they transplant fairly seamlessly. I usually start training after 1-2 days in final container. They look fine though, end of December starts?

I didn't germinate them I stuck the seeds straight in the dirt dec. 18th, they took a couple days to sprout

Thought I'd take em out for a lil sun today so nice in socal. They taking off after the first tp #tga all day

They starting to show their sex. Haven't topped em yet, I noticed they show the sex sign on the very top and if I top too early they take longer to show. I'm going to top the first row of plants that are showing female ( 2 og, 2 cuvee, 1 conspiracy). The back row has 2 looking male (og and conspiracy) the rest haven't shown yet

Just put them outside in 15 gallon pots of the ss I re amended back in December. The pic of the three is the day after I transplanted (jesus og on the left, conspiracy kush in the middle, cuvee on the right). I decided not to top at all, I didn't want to slow the growth down, first time I've never topped . Im taking clones of the jesus og and cuvee for this summer asap.

First week outside was rough. They had to deal with transplant shock while their hormones are changing into flower under crazy wind, rain and not much sun. They were looking real sad the other day but seem like they will be fine. looking forward to the better weather coming up the new growth thats coming in looks light deprived.
