those are the biggest weed plants i've ever seen. I think just 1 branch off of one of those plants would yield more than my entire micro SOG grows...

I did this 30 day grow pics and wanted to share. The below pics are pic every 30 days give or take a few days. I did each one of my plants. As always trying to keep my updates interesting. Enjoy friends

Been a few days sense a good update. This should be a pretty good one. Buds are getting fat fat. Some are 2 litter size and bigger. They have 3 to 4 weeks left I hope. enjoy the update.
Here you can see a big bud along side a 2x6 roof rail. You can see they getting pretty fat now.

Here is a shot of the looking at some tops.

Another shot with my rain gutter for size. Can't wait for them to fill in.

The plant by the fence is looking fat to.

Here is one of those big rubber hammers. It was just laying there so I used this for size.

Here is a shot of the potted plant bud.

Another shot under the carport. Sticky sticky...

Some people have said they would like to climb in my plants. Well these shots are for you. As you can see this chair fits back here perfect. This is where I sit when my neigbors yard crew comes every week. I can watch them thru a crack in the fence for any signs they are looking for my plants. So far nothing. Besides that it is just cool to smoke a bowl back here just chilling.Whats trippy is no yellow leafes to speak of. Some but very few yellow leafes. They should be dropping like flys now.

And for the very first time a shot of inside the beast.

As you can see you are way back inside the plant. This is my fort :)

So what do you think is going on with the no yellow leafes? The potted plants are the same mother and they have been dropping yellow leafes for a long time now.

There has been some but not even enough to notice or even to pick them. They just stay 100% dark green.

re: the yellowings

I'm not the resident guru by any means. But, I think that the plants growing in the ground have unlimited nutrient resources as varied as your local soil and whatever you may have done to enrich it. Therefor, as long as there is no major extremes of PH or richness/lack in specific nutes, the plants have everything they need to thrive. (nutrient wise-particularly micro-nutes)

In the container, you have created a false environment w/ what nutrients you may have mixed. I'm certain (obviously) that this is a very effective mix. But, in the false (and smaller) environment, a smaller fluctuation will cause imbalances or deficiencies.

Your grow is awesome and inspiring - this issue is vaguely minute at best. But, that's my theory?

I believe Dirt Farmer said at the beginning of this post that the big ones are in the ground and he has not been feeding them any nutes, no need to flush:)

Fantastic update dirt farmer. I think the big ones in the ground don't show any yellowing quite simply because your native soil (or amended, I don't remember what you said about that) must be rich, and DEEP, so the rootsystem can keep on feeding the plant. Over here for instance, there's only a foot or two of soil before hitting the rock and my grow shows severe yellowing.

Are you sure you need another three or four weeks on the big ones? I'd have thought earlier than that, but then, you don't show any closeups.

Good luck for the end of the season... and congrats again on the monster-plants

The big ones are at week 6 in a few days. They look big in the pics but no meat on them yet. The ones in the pots got real fat and meaty the last two weeks. I have atleast 2 weeks to make it 8 weeks. I will take a good look then.

For whatever reason the potted plants started full flower two weeks before the ones in the ground. My side buds are much fuller than the tops for the tops just kept stretching to no end. Also they is a light reflection from a street light that hits the tops of the plants. I can see where it is slowing them down some.
