Sure seems like theres tons of people from maine on the forums, i would love to meet and greet once i am up there! How are the plants liking the rain? Ill probabaly end up doing single roofs per plant to pretect from elements.

What's up to my fellow Mainer's here. Hope everyone in the 207 and the beast coast have safe and happy fourth of July

Ha ha the Beast Coast. Reminds me of the famous comic book encounter between the Beast from the East and the Pest from the West.

right below you in Ma here. this is my first year for an outdoor grow too. Ive always been indoor. Anyways roughly when do plants start to flower in the northeast??

When do plants normally start to flower in Maine ??

Around mid August is when the daylight hours are short enough to induce flowering. You should be seeing little budlets the 1st week of September.
If you have anything that isn't showing by then, youll definitely want to think about the poly pullovers - just to trap some heat come October.


Had you acquired MOB, you would probably be seeing pistils by now.

I have the first males showing right now in Northeast Massachusetts.

Well the way there growing they'll be rootbound in the 3 gallon in about 10-14 days I'm guessing then I'll be putting in final pots. Not sure if I classify them as early starts?

So I should def go bigger pots huh? 45 seems quite over kill haha idk though first outdoor !

waterlab,
I looked into building a living super soil, but it's too expensive for my limited income. So I went with a 50/50 mix of western Ma. native topsoil/aged cow poop compost. Dug 5 holes, 3X3X3 & and mixed in the compost, I then used one bag of fox farms ocean forest on top 6 inches . Planted two 2 ft. cloces, and 3 two ft. tall from seed, on 6/1/. So far they're growing great . Now I'm looking for an inexpensive way to feed them organically, . So far I've feed them high N bat poop & 4/6/2 all purpose natural mix from down to earth. Thinking about making a cow poop compost tea ?? Yum yum !! If I was gonna go with pots, then I'd think about 20 gal. fabric bags !! You rototill a spot for the legal 6, the other 7 you gotta hide and to do that it takes spreading them out over that 7 acres. The two here and one over there method !! Is Maine gonna legalize pot come nov. ?? I think we're gonna here in Ma., but can't be sure till we vote !! All the big politicians & the police are against it !!
Does moose eat pot like deer ?? I ask the tough questions !! May your be plentiful !!

45 gal is overkill? Lol I must be nuts with my 400-500 gallons. Go look at Mendo420's thread with his 800 gallon pots.

But are you located in a short grow season, like Me. ? Them sound more like west coast size pots ?

overall looking great! they may be a tad over watered... hard not to be here on the east coast and could prob take a little more N if you wanted to

Ya we had two straight days of fog and had wicked rain pass, so def water heavy! Should dry out though, I had been super busy for about 5 days couldn't get out to feed them! Have em some Nutes tonight though !! Will green them back up

Here's a sneak peak at indoor! Gonna make my own scrog don't like this netting !!

With all those ferns growing around you, those soils are leached of calcium. Try some calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and some calcium nitrate as well, use some super phosphate (calcium phosphate) and in your budding cycle, a good chelated calcium.

Here's an updated pic! Same plant as posted above 5 days later! Can see some serious growth in her!!
