time for more pics :D..... everything in the greenhouse is Sensi Star :) ...... the one already transplanted into the stacked tires is Purple Kush.... I have been debating whether or not to put the other Sensi Star plants that are still in pots into the other empty stacked tires....

The Purple Kush mother is a ways away.... she is with a couple of my other plants :-| that I still need to go pick up.... I will get pics of her when I pick them up ;)........

They should all start flowering in about 15-20 days....... so I am hoping they will grow a lot between now and then, ;). I will give them all some Veg nutes this upcoming weekend and the next (a good dose to hold over through the start of flowering), and then feed Bloom nutes the following weekend, :)...... still lots of work to do (like working on my next indoor arrangement).......... comments/questions are welcome. :peace::joint:

Damn I wish I could grow outside at home!! Your girls are already kickin TLD; I would think you'll get a nice haul just off those!

So my question is, How do those tires work out for you? Is that a tried and true method? Do they absorb quite a bit of heat? But also, do they retain moisture well? I might have to try that sometime, so I'll definately keep watchin to see how they turn out.

Nice greenhouse and setup!!! :peace:

Hello Dragon-
The ladies are looking great! I noticed that your plants seem to be stretching a bit (mine too), is that because their getting ready to start budding? The heat? whats up with that?

Keep up the good work my friend-

Thanks..... Im still pissed off because if the dude that I left them with had taken care of them properly they would be twice this size right now :evil: :evil:!! Im hoping for 4 oz + per plant of the sensi..... accept for the tiny fucked up ones the dude fucking smashed when he was transporting them!!

The tires are tried and true... the ones in the pic have been there for two years being used for vegetables. They hold moisture really well, and since they are bottomless, drainage is perfect and I can line the bottom with chicken wire for the gofers :)

They do hold some heat, but thats why the idea is to plant a little early, so they will be big enough to shade the tires to keep the tires cooler..... I got way too late of a start on all of this and I am very upset about it.....

Im going to have to work double time to get my desired harvest by the end of the year to provide all the meds to the patients I am a caregiver for.....(22 lb.'s)

do you mean the purple kush thats in the stacked tires?

the Sensi stars aren't really stretched, they just have long perliotes ;)

the one PK in the stacked tires was intentionally stretched by light deprivation (black shade cloth)..... I just started allowing the PK to soak up the full sun, and she is no longer stretching, but filling in ;)

Hey Dragon-
I'm going to take some clones off a couple of my outdoor girls this evening, (mother plants for the winter grow) my first time doing this, any tips?
I have "Clonex" rooting compound, Jiffy pucks soaking as I type.
I mixed the following in a 1 gallon container..
3 drops of "super Thrive"
5 drops Hydrogen Peroxide
3 tablespoons of BMO " super plant tonic"
I shook for a minute or two, and am soaking the jiffy pucks in that tea now.
I have new razor blades and alcohol.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks

I wouldn't use the peroxide or the alcohol

BMO is good watered down a hell of a lot

I wouldn't use superthrive until after the cuttings have established roots

I don't use jiffy cubes I use rockwool

I will PM you ;)

Treemansbuds-
22 lbs from Jan 09 to Jan 10

I have already knocked out 6 1/2

so 15.5 is left..... between now and Jan next year

I am very happy with the weather :)

I expect 1/2 lb coming in off two plants I have flowering outside right now

I expect 2 lbs off of my PK mother

and about 6-8 lbs off of what I have just taken pictures of

Leaving 6-7 lb gap I need to figure out how to fill with the remaining outdoor season and this winters indoor growing

I should be able to manage........
