First Time Grow - CO Outdoors

[hemp23]

First time growing outdoors. Have a few indoor grows under the belt, but it's been a few years since I last posted on here. Look forward to seeing suggestions and will take any recommendations to heart for any future grows. Been enjoying looking at everyone's hard work around here!

Would have liked to start from seed, but choose the easy route of dispensary genetics. I know I took the gamble of really not knowing the true outcome of the plant. I was skeptical of bugs/root issues, but didn't have either so was quite surprised.


Clones:
Pinnapple Flash
Star 47 x Grape Krypt
Power Africa x Grape Prez

Started in 1 gallon pots.
Soil: Mix of Roots Organic Original and 707 formula

Nutrients:
BioBizz Line grow, bloom, fish mix, alg a mic

Day 7




Day 21

Topped all three around when they were another 6 inches or so probably around day 27



Greenhouse setup. Was going to transplant into 10 gallons, but scratched that and not 15 gal smart pots instead.

Subbed. If they haven't started flowering then they will any day now.

*Edit* - Must have squeeked in before you were putting up your other posts. Didn't realize. Anyways, looking good and digging the progress pics.

Veg Day 35-48. Took cucumbers and peppers out of greenhouse to leave room and to not infest with pests.




Veg Day 45-48. Continue with feed. Foilar spray with alg-a-mic once a week or so. No issues with PM or pests, but bought a 3 in 1 organic spray for prevention mainly. Have used Neem oil indoors but haven't seen the need to use that stuff at all.




Pinnapple Flash Week 9. Started seeing pre-flowering in week 7.5-week 8. Have really started to see pistols forming well. Put up screen around week 7 or so. Wanted to LST just like indoors. I wasn't sure how much to trim off the plant, as I know this is a indoor technique and wasn't sure if I should just leave the outdoor plant alone.

Last week had a freak micro burst that picked up my 100 LB greenhouse like a twig. Literally went over the fence and onto the street, but luckily there was minimal damage done to the structure. Needless to say, I have weighed down the entire thing to hopefully prevent that from happening again.

The screen I had set up over the plants essentially tore off causing minor damage to some fan leaves. Only the Pineapple flash was leaning over a bit. Was super lucky that it did not cause any major root or branch damage.

Star 47- Plant looks a bit off to me and not sure why. Thinking it has more dominate Sativa traits. Could want more N so might increase dosage next feed.

I don't know if your greenhouse is similar to mine in how they are fixed to the ground but mine only came with some little tent stakes to hold them down. I put those in the ground through the holes in the base of the poles but all those do are hold the feet in place on the ground. When the shit hits the fan your house is going mobile as you witnessed. I went around the 4 corners and screwed these dog tethers into the ground.

And used these straps to secure them to the dog tethers.

Gonna take quite a bit of wind to move that thing after that. I've had a lot of success with using these and haven't had the greenhouse move on me after last season and this one.

I am very curious about the greenhouse. Where did you get it, how much was it? I normally don't get a good finish on my plants (suburb west of Denver) because frost beats me out. A greenhouse might be a solution. Part is on me because I like Sativa hybrids.

Definitely get a greenhouse. I'll be running my next cycle into November with a heater to help on cold nights.

It was from Best Choice Products. It was only $100 on Amazon and I knew from reading reviews it would be more than likely a one time use. Call it a security investment to both hide your plants from view, but also get the benefits of keeping plants away from certain elements. I haven't done a lux test as I don't want to necessary spend the money to actually see the amount of UV.

Nice suggestions who dat! Sounds like you have much better product than me
