outdoor grow up in the mountains 2013

[wiggles]

now that i re-looked at your pics. im thinking they could have got bleached not overfed. not sure if thats the right term, but when i put my clones outside, out in direct sun, the leaves look "bleached" so question..... did you just take off the cover and have them in the sun before this happened? because they look a little lime color, which might suggest they need more N (guano). maybe somebody will chime in and back me up or maybe its something else, but that would be the way i would attack my plants if they looked like yours.

i put them outside a few days ago because i wanted to get some wind on them to strenghten the stems, but while they were outside the weather was really wet and they wouldnt have had any strong sunlight. i wouldnt want to give them any more guano because it could be the cause, and if your right i would use some tomato nutrients because i always use that and i have no problems. im currently flushing all of them so the soil will be clean and i can try something else. it may help to know i periodicaly waterd in 3 tabel spoons of guano to each plant, and im notsure if this is too much. i do know that these plants are fine in regualr soil and thats all they need for now so thats all they will get. i am planning to take one of the smaller plants out of the tent and seeing if your right about the sun effecting them. thanks for the information mate

here is my AMS from last year, if i can get a few beauties like this girl i will be happy, this thing had leaves bigger than my hand and smelt like heaven, a garden with 10 of these would do me nicely. ive already lost 2 plants to slugs and donated the left overs to a friend who needs clones

hey folks, heres the garden today, looking so good, the ladies have bounced back and they are growing like crazy and the roots are starting to fill up the pots. i think il be repotting on sunday. i got some shots of the surrounding area so you guys can see the terrain. everything is looking good and its back on track

so i just got a new grow tent, im looking for bigger pots but where i live the options aren't great. the plants are looking happy and healthy and I'm just going through the motions, watering and prooning. im not sure if all of these plants will make it, some seem a little behind and i don't keep plants that don't yield enough reward. happy so far so just gonna keep on doing my thing'

Well, honestly, if finding pots is a problem, I really would put them directly into the ground. Something grown is more than nothing grown.

yeah i am thinking about it, but it wont work with my plan. i want them under this greenhouse because i do get allot of rain and slugs, and i cant just put them anywhere in the ground i need them laid out in 4 rows of 3, so when they get big they need nice even spacing. my friend said he can get me some nice big pots soon so il wait for them. these plants are no where near root bound so im not worried.

what about 5 gallon buckets? you can get some decent sizes outta those

Man, this is super gorilla grow style, best of luck to you wiggles! I've been tossing around the idea of doing some gorilla grows here in NorCal while I'm still young and spry, so I may be taking tips from you here in the future. Keep on keepin' on, bro.

thanks so much man, its really the true experience of growing, ive found visiting friends indoor grows is great for the controlled environment, but i like letting these plants show their beauty in the best free light :). I've found it helps to have some youth in you to do this guerrilla gowing, im 20 and i go running round the wood that i grow in so its not so strenuous. feel free to ask anything, i been growing every year since i was 16 and ive learnt a few tricks, but im mainly here to learn. thanks bro :)

shit man thats not a bad idea, cheers Vape, i defiantly have a few shops to get these from. i'm actually gonna be growing in the ground this year, i figured it will be less watering that way so im not looking for a permanent pot, just something to keep um in for about a month before flowering.

hey folks, an update on the grow show, all the girls are looking pretty nice, i think im gonna get them outside in 2 weeks, just till they fill up the tent. if you look at the pictures of the biggest plant (picture 9) you can see the lower growth is starting to droop down because the branches are long but week, should i cut these of or just see what happens? im very pleased with how everything is looking and im so ready to repot them now, just need some good soil mix and im good to go, i think im gonna also introduce some tomato nutrients for that extra nutrition, get them growing big but also strong.

thanks sea, funny you should mention the repotting because i just went to do it, nice bit of digging and re arranging, and they are good to grow for the next few weeks untill they go in the ground!

so another day in the garden of weeden, the ladies are reaching for the sky and putting out some good side growth, so expect to see some beautiful bushes in the next few weeks. even tho i dug out a foot of earth to sink the pots into, the plants are really getting close to the top of the grow tent and im thinking that il be putting them into the ground next week depending on weather. can't see any issues with the plants and im just watering and watching with a great big smile on my face, this will be my first grow EVER with consistently sized plants, and ive only ever had 2 fully sized plants at a time so im in fore allot of work, its cool tho :) thought id get a few reference pictures before i leave them for the next week, the rain is coming so im gonna let them get on with it and have a nice surprise when i next go up!

to be honest I'm more of a christmas tree person, i like to see how many branches each plant can produce, i only top if they get way to leggy. im gonna have 4 rows of 3 plants, so i want each plant consistently sized.

some real hot chillies, im not expecting great things but gotta have some diversity. kinda make the pot plants look better :)

Nice Wiggles!!

Good to see another Brit getting something going in the great outdoors! I think I noticed in one of your pictures that you're growing some Holland's Hope? If so, I did three of those last year. I did it mainly out of curiousity, to see what could be produced in our inclement isle, and was pleasantly surprised.

This year I've got 5 on the go, 3 Frisian Dews and 2 Biddy Earlies. Been a bit slcak on my recording of these ones but gonna get a thread going on these new ones as they're getting big!

All the best with the girls mate, i'll be sure to follow you from here on out.
