your on the right track used those before and did what you did, with the wire cage round the pot, but use 4 8' tpost around the cage and built from there if they get to 10 foot add another ring of wire cage

hey bro those are some bushes for sure..you could always put some 2 x 2 or even 4 x 4 posts around the bush, with some bamboo stakes in between, then trellis string around the posts and bamboo stakes...this is a tip from farmers who trellis up 9ft heirloom tomato plants...works great

no its not continual drip i have a 200 gallons res that i have to fill! My water is too high of a ph to just run through the system so i have to down the ph. 200 gallon is nice to mix nutrients though. :)

If your girls are in soil (and it looks like they are) and you're using organic nutrients, you don't have to mess with pH.

I think he means use the t-bars to raise the cage. I ended up having my husband build a frame attached to the planter (can't exactly do this with a Smart Pot). T-bars themselves are not tall enough unless you bend your girls down.

P.S. We moved south of Tahoe from SLT. Are you at elevation? If so, what are you gonna do if they're not finished and weather comes in?

Looking good - but I'm wondering why they are so small, compared to HUumboldtlocal's crop this year (look for a thread by him if you haven't seen it yet. he has the same pots and has some 10-14' bushes)

Seriously? You bumped someone's thread to throw out something like that? Since you didn't seem to catch it before, this is the guy's FIRST try at this.

No, I did not see that that was his first grow, and I was not 'ripping' him. I'm really interested in why there is the size difference though... maybe we could learn something from the comparison of the two grows.

What type of fertilizing did you do Dizzworth? Did you do any foliar feeding? Did you start the plants before you put them out? If so, when, and did you do any stressing methods to them?

Ya no worries jerome i know you wernt ripping on me. But to answer your question man i know my plants are nothing compared to Humbolt locals. I have learned so much from his thread i cannot wait for next year. Like sea said this is my first year but i have been growing indoors for a while and have friends that grow outdoors so i do have quite a bit of knowledge. I had one HUGE problem throughout the vegative phase. I had to buy bulk soil to fill all of those pots because i didnt have enough money to buy good soil. something was messed up with the ph of the soil or something and burned the shit out of my babes and they literally didnt grow for like a month!!:mad0229: Things finally got balanced out and they grew for another month. Im actually pretty stoked on how big they got considering how fucked up they were for a bit but if that didnt happen im sure they would be significantly bigger. The growth on some of the plants are much different than humbolts though. Some of my blue dreams are like 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall so im curious how they are going to yield with that many top on them. And to answer your question seamaiden i got some land down near auburn like an hour away from tahoe so i should be good for the weather. i still actually set up some greenhouse hoops incase it does get nasty this fall. But also have them for next year so i can get them out a little earlier such as humbolt did. Here are some recent pics. thanks guys:boogie:

Looking good bro, congrats on your first grow. your going to be set with those hoops.

just keep tying them up. The Dogshit is late but well worth the wait.

as for size you will do better as you go along looks like your putting much work into this so you will do well. one important thing if you have gypsy moths where you are or other egg laying butterflies/moths you need to begin weekly spraying with bt or preferably spinosad from start of flower if not you will lose significant weight to rot and larvae damage.

You're more than a couple of miles north of me, I'm directly south of Tahoe. Be prepared for weather, we've got some coming this weekend.

Looking very good!

They're already pretty well trussed up with Hortonova and a frame. All I'll have to do is drape plastic over the framework. My hempy tub girls can be pulled in under the deck roof, so that's always been the plan with them.

You might be able to find it locally, otherwise you can order it online. I would not use it alone, I would use it in conjunction with Bt spray, aka Safer Caterpillar Spray. Yes, you do have them in your area, should start spraying as soon as you see buds.

My GPS told me 2,800', neighbor says his tells him 2,500'. We're south of Shingle Springs.
