Whoooze house??? Butte's house!!! 
Tell your friend he's rocking too. Looks like he made excellent strain choice for that type of grow.
Here I go about 12 days ago- & now they're 6 ft balls of love going through the drill they know so well. Go, go, go!!

I may have to get my lights out there next year "Butte style" if you guys keep this shit up..
If you folks have never seen what a large plant can do with 3 or 4 weeks veg time, then keep an eye on Butte & his friends plants. This truly will be amazing.

Butte are you fucking SERIOUS?!?!?! THOSE ARE AMAAAAZING. Fucking INCREDIBLE!!! I had NO idea there were soo many going right now. My jaw has dropped to the floor and beyond. It makes me so happy to see all these medical patients doing the right thing. Next year I imagine there will be twice as many growers like yourselves and it's just truly great to see that happening with no problems. I wish you the best of luck bro, CAN'T WAIT FOR HARVEST!!!
On another note, I have a buddy that travels from cali to oregon to see his friends plot. His friend is from humboldt county but got kicked out from the locals, as I've been told and now has moved up to oregon and has about 30 plants just as big as yours. It's great to see this like I said, PEACE

Hello all
Just got back from seeing the Cheese play the Greek Theater this weekend...great shows.
I got to run in the ozone system this weekend after throwing the switch on Friday night. For a quick recap, my water is pretty bad, looking like unfiltered apple juice when it comes out of the well. So, Friday, I filled up the 5,000 gallon tank and started the ozone circulating. When I started, you couldn’t see more than a couple feet down into the tank. By Saturday morning, the visibility had at least doubled, and yesterday it was crystal clear. However, I’m still having some problems out in the garden.
What I thought was a magnesium deficiency is not responding well to treatment, and quite a few of the Purps are heavily triggered. I believe what happened is when I pulled the lights on June 21, there may have still been a little time on the timers. This dropping of an hour or two was evidently enough to cause them to trigger. Next year I’ll be setting the lights to match June 21st’s, so when the solstice rolls around, the lighting is exactly matched. It could also be that that strain is especially sensitive since none of the others triggered.
I really enjoy seeing other gardens as well. Almost all of the gardens are tended by long-time growers (25+ years), and I think they’re still scratching their heads at being able to grow in the full sun. Decades of maxing yields in the bush present some pretty serious skills when everything is optimized. My garden won’t even approach some of these grows I’ve seen. Amazing.
I still can’t upload pics, so the updates will be few and far between. As soon as this little activity becomes too frustrating (I’m there with the photo thing), I pull the plug. I don’t have the time to be screwing with internet problems...sorry.
Happy growing all - Butte

Awesome grow and tours there Butte.
TH- Whats on the menu this year, is that the SSH Vi-cut??
Also- How are you guys fairing with powdery mildew. A bunch of friends are already seeing the stuff, as this year our area is like living on the coast. Its 70% himidity and foggy every morning.
Cheers

Nice little transportation star crash...good for boxes, but better for cannabis I see
This is an awesome thread. I love seeing these large trained bushes. I could only wish to have enough space to grow large bushes. Stay safe Butte! and everyone else.

Well, here’s where Butte’s garden is at.
I left for ~8 days to see my last String Cheese show up at Horning’s Hideout this last weekend and then off to see friends around the west coast. The time away was nice and relaxing, but the scene when I returned erased pretty much all of that. This year, the plants started out doing well and slowly went from good to bad after they went into the beds. I mistakenly diagnosed the problems and tried to repair what damage was occurring (most visibly as magnesium deficiency). After four weeks of supplementing with Epsom salts, though, still I was seeing symptoms. However, it was primarily still Mg symptoms. Now, I’m starting to also see some Ca symptoms (new leaves curling) and a touch of iron deficiency on some plants.
So, with this info in hand I went down to the store and got one of those cheapo soil testing kits. Now, it’s not very accurate (as in ppm), but it registered a really high level of phosphorous in the soil. I believe this is my fault as I added rock phosphate to the mix. Excess P will lock out Ca, Zn, Mg, and Fe in new growth, which I had not seen until I returned from my trip. I have a soil specialist running tests on my soil this week, but I’m afraid there isn’t much I can do this year.
As of right now I’m seriously considering chopping a bunch of them and starting over in containers to see what I may be able to salvage out of this year. It seems they are losing leaves faster than putting them on and I’m not sure I’d have anything worth a crap by the time they were supposed to be done. It’s a real bummer to come home to plants that look worse than when you left versus bigger.
This is a new system for me this year, but it is difficult not getting frustrated when I’ve put so much energy into this and it’s not working as I would have hoped. And while I try very hard not to compare my garden or plants with others (different strains, environments and approaches make that a moot point for me), I can’t help but know something is seriously wrong around these parts. I guess it’s a good thing I still have herb from last year and there’s always next year.
Anyhow, my friend’s gardens are doing well. Here’s a Jedi shot on Wednesday and a group shot of his plot. I can’t remember all the strains he’s growing, but cheese, mendo purps, jedi, purple princess, and some urkles are in there...

I may try to take some shots of my plants, but it’s so f-ing sad and frustrating I’m not sure if I can bring myself to post them.
