2019 outdoor season

you dont need 100 gal pots for big plants,15 gallons of well amended soil with easily give you over a lb per plant

It entirely depends what your definition of big is

too a lot of people a pound plant is big...
i dont have the time,money or resources to do 50 gallon pots...i would love to try it...just to see what i could pull.im getting an average of 1.5 lbs per 20 gallon pot,some a bit less some more...thi year they are far exceeding what my intitial prediction was....i think ill pull some good weight this year depending on mold resistance

4 of these havent even started the stretch yet...i cant wait to see what they will yield

I make my own compost and utilize notill practices so it really doesn't cost that much.

i also use compost,but i can on;y make so much a year and my dad gets pissed if i take too much of his

Your gals are sure healthy looking loving this weather yup yup!

No till is a method of soil building. If you look it up on line there will be a great deal of info

Hey there how long does horse crap need to decay before you can use it in your soil I sure have a lot of it? Can you use it to make compost tea?

It should compost till it cools...if you build the pile correctly it could take around 2 months. I have a great deal of I formation on compost and utilizing beneficial micro organisms but don't know how to share it unless you have drop box....also look into Korean natural farming (knf).

i talked to a local farmer and he said at least a year,i dont know if having cold winters makes a difference or not

 

[Fatboy]

That's what I meant about building the pile correctly. You can just heap it up and wait bit it will take much longer.

Ragweed sure grows good in it. I have 2 hayburners so there’s lots to be had

Pretty happy with these sweet baby girls so far. Gave them a Rootshield watering at planting and they didn’t even wilt (4 days since the cloning). I am pretty much sold on the Rootshield now!

in 2 days these clones will be 2 weeks old...good so far. Keeping them in a dome under lights (14 hours on, 10 off). What is my best next step: move them outside where their mother is currently flowering, so I assume they will flower immediately OR set up the indoor grow? Could I adjust the light now and safely move them outside? Is that even an option?

My guess is that they would grow a bit but start to flower shortly anyways because it’s almost that time of the year (if you put them outside). Do you have access to an indoor grow setup?

Question : did you root the cuttings right in the soil? I was always curious about the difference between starting them in rockwool cubes compared to directly in some soil. Never have played around with cloning myself but I’m thinking I’ll do it next season.

i dont really see the point,you will get nothing off them,id veg them out and flower inside in a couple onths

Yes, I have a couple of tents...I can set one up I suppose (outdoor is just so much simpler). I do clones right into soil...K9 in this case. The trick is to dip in cloning gel and water right then with Rootshield (thanks BurnedHaze for that secret). I think cloning is a million times easier than popping seeds but you have to get a female first.
