Taking The Plunge Outdoors Could Use Some Info Plz

[Panacea79]

I always get about two unpunctuated sentences into a runon paragraph b4 I give up...

No punctuation is just fine but just hit the return key every now and then so we can catch a brain breather

Lol...THANK YOU!!!

Lol...THANK YOU!!!

Oh, wait....were you talking about MY post?? If so...LOL STILL But, HEEEEEYY, I used punctuations! Even employed some SEMI colons, lol!

Great thread folks. Saved me from making one myself.....

Does anybody know of a link to any info on trimming OD plants or care to give some tips/advice on the topic?

thanks

Trimming? Well... you might want to check out the thread on mainlining. I've never done it myself, so I can't really discuss how to do it. I've done LST, and it's a good method for indoors or if you need to keep things on the down-low. Stupid easy, too.

These are clones destined for outside, Sea. They are 18" to 2 ft tall/wide. Just trying to find some info on how others approach the process. No worries about size with the legality/remoteness here...I'm going for as large of plants as possible/don't really have to hide them/etc. (other than shielding them from public view/the road) I've searched the Net for info but only found talk of a guy using his weed whacker to top his plants...so thought I'd better ask the experts here...LOL. Not sure I wanna try that just yet......

Still have 4-6 weeks of indoor veg before I can set them out and don't wanna let em just "grow" without some direction/shaping/etc... Anyone?

When pruning my outdoor plants I use a pruning sealer on all cuts. Bugs seem to love the fresh sap from the wounds.

I wouldn't do anything more than open the canopy up and be prepared for good staking around the perimeter. Once they start really taking off you may want to clean out the inners, but depending on how you've opened up the canopy they could still end up producing some good flower material.

Never had that problem...

Never had that problem...

Do you grow in the Midwest?
Why give any pathogen or insect a easier path to enter you're plants.

No.

Why not,
they always seemed to seal themselves just fine;
in the southwest--
and southeast...

 

[Seamaiden]

I thought you were growing somewhere in SoCal, which has an incredibly high (and incredibly resistant) pest and pathogen population. Between the agriculture and the landscaping, there's a lot to deal with.

They adapt;
or they don't--
either is good...
