They get about 10hrs of direct sunlight. I just put them in the ground this morning. 18 direct to ground and 14 in pots, 4 tiny ones in the ground might not make it but I'd still be good with 28 plants. If only 20 make it come flowering time i'm in good shape. Shooting for 5lbs this season and figure I can pull it off with 20 decent females outdoors. I'll be posting up pics a lil later. Was tired from all that work, didn't even feel like taking the pics right then. I'll have to go back to the spot and do it.

Glad she responded well and things are working out with your plant..

Day 56 outdoors end week 8
Day 102 from germination

Fed 2 cups jobes heirloom tomato
10 gallons water with
10 tablespoon kelp
10 teaspoon mega roots
4 teaspoon molasses

The plant has 4-5 new side branches coming out everywhere i topped it, i have been defoliating a little everyday to allow light in and through.

This plant also has hollow branches and i didnt have good success cloning the tops from hollow branches. The younger side branches had much better success and and were not hollow.

Finally filling out like i wanted!

June 25th
I took 23 cuttings and placed them in a cup of water. I took a 45 degree cut at the base of them under water and scraped the stalk near the cut. Dipped them good in Schultz take root powder and great white mychorizae and planted them in vermiculite.

They were placed in a tray inside a clear plastic storage tote on its side with a 23w 6500k cfl overhead in an insulated wood box. I then sprayed them with water about 3-5 times a day for the next 4 days.

june 29th
16 of the 23 cuttings were already standing up reaching for light. I pulled up the 9 sad looking ones, and the first one i pulled up had little roots on all sides already so i put it back lol. The next 8 had got some kind of stalk rot and i threw them out.

1/2 teaspoon fish
1/2 teaspoon kelp
1/4 teaspoon mega roots

@ManyManySpliffs
10 hours is the same amount of sun im getting they should fill out nicely. 5lbs seems like a pretty reasonable goal thats like 4 oz per from 20 plants.

Yea, I did the math and knowing what I got from my last grow in 2014 with less plants and less time to grow. I know I should be able to hit 5lbs with ease. I could end up with way more but thats the minimum I'm looking to harvest come Oct-Nov.

Day 63 outdoors end week 9
Day 109 from germination

Fed 2 cups jobes heirloom tomato
10 gallons water with
10 tablespoon kelp
10 teaspoon mega roots

Did a round of pruning away the spindly inner branches with long internode spacing and some defoliation today, started some more clones.

Before pruning and defoliating:

Front side (from few days earlier, july 5th)

Back side

After pruning and defoliating:

Front side

Back side

Inside

Did the first round of topping the dominant branches on sunday june 25th. Plan on topping it again on sunday july 16th, 3 weeks after.

Then sunday august 6th right before/just as stretch begins i will top again to really capitalize on that explosive growth.

Big thanks to Pipeline for directing me to the Motherlode Gardens 2017 thread during the pruning discussion, and to Shcrews along with everyone who participated.

I left the upper 1/3 of the plant and the back side facing the wall alone. Topped most of the other branches on the plant back to dual nodes. About 4-6 inches removed from the plant most of the way around.
