growing big trees '09

[beer batter]

some of theas have been vegging since feb, garnddady was cloned on feb7 and maui feb 12, the great unknown (the tallest one) cloned in april though. i originally had 3 GDP plants but the as end of last month one was taken by a gopher and i had saved another and purcheased a few mole -movers to keep 'em out of my garden. since then ive talked with a partner and tied plants into the vacant space and eased up on crop dencity, it was all over grown in the 4x15ft row anyways. now its looking healtheir atleast, so i cant be mad anymore. plus last month i finished a seed crop and 2 TGU(the great unknown) mothers had the most rev-eg potenchal, so ive got 2 huge plants now thanks to age old and a little dr earht starter fertilizer an kelp mixed intothe hole and top-fill befor planting. tgu-

masterkush (california beanbank)-

ill get resent pics but heres the maui behind our kush, tgu is to the right on maui but not as tall in this pic yet

maui-

GDP (the one taken was just as big, the other one left has got multiple tops but they all started to flower in early june late may then went back to vegg finnally)-

keep us updated

 

[nomaad]

Beautiful trees, bro.

 

[chris1985]

they all look nice mate i wish i lived in a roural (sp) area where i had trees near my property so i could do an outdoor grow like this i bet your goin to get massive yields!

Keep us posted!

 

[JOE CHRONIC]

Very nice, it works out good when the girls start to flower and revert to veg, makes for outstanding yields.
Continued good luck Bro...

 

[white russian]

wonderful trees man, your gonna be doing a lot of

 

[Barefoot]

Really bushy plants! Congratulations

 

[Oregonic]

damn man those are massive can't wait to see em flower out

theas where taken a few days ago i was cheking on my fetilizer tank and it ran empty soo i desided to mix some of the biobizz/earth juice mix ive used when i ran out the past few times (befor i could mix it with a little age old grow but now i am saveing what i have stashed for my perpetiual indoor needs, that where i got the bio-juice mix) i have only stashed a few cups for nitrogen defishancies instead of useing earht juice grow.
2 cups of bio-grow and 5 cups of earth juice bloom(mixed with water to make 2gal and run @ 50:1, i dunno what im doing really (i am useing this bio-juice mix for the first time outdoors, i didnt run out of age old last year. i must of had the right sial proportioned to conserve nutes but i had biger plants this year w/a higher setting so i just need mroe nutes?)

they didnt mind the stuff befor when i used it after i noticed age old was gone and otherwize im flushing for 15 min each day and twice a week when i soak the area shrublers dont reach, i didnt want to go 1-2 weeks w/o fertilizer in veg or as they transition. this is like a bloom enhancer that should kick start the process instead of flush the soil untill my 4-6-2 gunao arrives and i can make teas atleast. i just wanted to add nutrition when i found they had none (i need to find the proper dial setting and keep nutrient stocked so feeding is consistant, nothing mas consistant or predictable this year)
i have ordered extra guano from botanical.com. its mocha bat guano by some company up state i had got and used last year. i am going to order some age old bloom soon but like in the past ive desided to run. i know the guano sludges up in this young mixer so i have to flush it out with a hose each time i re-fill it (thats why i recomend age old only, and haveing enough on deck for consistant schedualed feeding i bet i had it between 75 and 100:1 last season and no ive been @ 50-75:1 for whatever reason.. not following or makeing enough notes.

the last GDP in the row was attacked again by a gorund mamel that dug around a molemover sonic steak i put in each side of the row, i just put in another one and ill check up on that thing. all that was left after i found a void the size of a base ball under a stalk the size of my wrist as a branch of roots going off one direction about as thick as my thumb, that seems to be all the plants is liveing off now. soo i filled in the hole with soil i just put in the flower garden from a veggi grow bag i had no use for, i mixed the bone dry soil with down to earth soluble root enhancer about a 1/3 cup per 3 gallons of soil and watered it then packed it into the void to combat any bed fungus that could grow on the chewed up stump -i have supported it with 2 8ft poles for now, ontop of the few suports that held it up while the gopher or what it was chewed everything that anchored it. now its flowering i want to re-position back just a few more inches, take some pics then. check out the proper mulch- i hated the rock idea

this TGU here re-veged and blew up after giving my some beans, I like this Dr earth starter fertilizer and down to earth root enhancer -a few good things a keep on deck. I’ve used about a quart of ancient amber twice so far a month or more apart, also a quart of liquid karma late April or June

their goes my seed crop i helped flower keeping it shaded, left some beans to ripen even as it re-veged.

TGU is on the right, Maui to the left and master kush (CBB) on the far left. (I got a lone bean from the TGU last year turned out to be male so I clone him and put him out this spring with 7 or 8 of my 4 flavors of clones) Maui, tgu, master kush, GDP -i'm gunna try to run gdp x tgu from clone next year, its been my dream to get GDP to grow better and yield more its like mixing the best of my quality with the quantity that TGU yields. -They have dif body types, I loved the granddaddy x master kush or granddady Hindu kush or other granddady crosses i've had at harbor side healthcare over a year ago, they made GDP even better I think. All my cuts besides master kush from California bean bank are from mendo -TGU the great unknown was supposed to be something ells but the homie didn’t know what it was only it wasn’t purple urkle and handed it out, the plants grow crazy like 1,2-3,4 pound rang depending on space/full sun and maybe irrigation/fert. I mean in full sun and w/age old nutes these babies kick ass (this TGU was cloned in April and out as a 1gal starter)

I took out some shoots where the sun doesn’t shine to give more of the plants energy -chi towards the healthy growth sites that are more productive. Some were shriveling up anyway i’m just cleaning the plant up taking out dead foliage and sad lower stuff. I put an 8ft pole up next to the tgu and measured it a foot taller so its 9ft, but only productive at the upper 6 feet or so -after she grows over the other plants like I had planed, she got tall last year -a few feet taller then the rest. It’s my second year with tgu and fourth year with the Maui and growing outdoors, its gotten bigger and bigger each year. It also my second year with GDP outside and it sure needed the veg from feb7 to start off as big may10 and overgrow the space like I want to, last year they looked like cute little grape plants it was kinda funny. I’m just not messing around with 110gram yield per plant anymore, my GDP are already starting to flower and they really needed the 3 month start to get them where they are now.

Their the 3GDP and 1 Maui I veged under my 400w first then in the 600w flower area, I gave a lot of love to these starts. The Kush was cloned in March some time I think.

If it wasn’t for the early flowering around June July and the gophers I would of had all aces but my GDP has taken several hits this year, nice re-veg and I cut off a bunch of stunted flower -mishaps that held back energy for the re-veg, they weren’t as tall as the shed last year now GDP is at least a foot taller then the shed. It will def be my first harvested but ill take it further then rashashana -last year I took it down then cause it was maybe not finished but damb close and the rains where expected, I wasn’t that content w/the potency taken that early -maybe go till early October at least with GDP

here are some other pics from earlier in the season, the plants where 3-4ft tall from their 5 gal pots. put outside may10 -thats the earliest they are allowed, i had the maui in a 15gal pot i cut the brim off of because i plan to cut the pots away from the root mass right next to the holes in the right position. the wide flimsy 5 galon pots where still packed with roots - i had 3 graddady purple cut feb7th, ill do this again and plan on puting in somecage around the perimiter so gophers are kept out of the root bed. i had 2 of theas mole movers the sucker dug right next to and back to the GDP i saved 2 times allready -last time it was just hanging on and saved my a couple suports and only one root branching left. their buding now, and probly 7-8ft rang. TGU is 9 ft and maui is a good 8ft -even my re-veged plants are 7+ ft tall and just as wide, the 2 might yeald 1-1.5lb each. thanks for the replys soo far, i used the entier 10lb bucket of mocha guano worked intothe top soi on the area around my re-veging tgu's on the growbag Master Kush is in and the row i have 1MAUI 1 TGU and 2 GDP. ive been out of age old grow for a week and started mixing some earth juice bloom and biobizz grow -something ive done earlier this season, i also mixed some soluble root enhancer by down to earth 1tbs per gallon i desided to keep watering threw my irrigation but mix some of this earth juice with guano's, bone meal and kelp and other stuff with biobizz grow with its trace elliments and K with a bit of N earth juice dosent have. we are ordering some age old grow tomorrow and ive cleaned out my young mixer proportioner soo its just waiting for my 2.5gal of age old to come in another week -i figure ill keep mixeing a few 5gal buckets of biobizz/earthjuice i use in my indoor grow. i forget why i dont us eage old indoors, i just got hooked on biobizz and i use Dr Earth starter fertilizer in all my soil befor planting -have been irrigating daly with with age old organics plant food so when i run out and havent told the folks to order it then i feal the need to keep giveing a little extra food untill i can replenish the young mix/proportioner tank. i want to keep the dial set at 75:1 for now, but im basically flushing with the irrigation and feeding the extra nutrient threw a water can.

their is the male from my seed project, i had 4 tgu's in their but only 2 reveged. i cad shoots poping up from most of the others too but not like theas 2 tgu i put in the ground

tgu early on, she’s a beast and I expected everything to build up above the GDP canopy about like it is only it’s bigger. i toped it at least 1 time early on

My GDP's, also victims of photo problems and then some type of gopher comes and takes a GDP and comes back and tries taking another and then again -both times they went right by those sonic steak things -mole movers. So I put some cage in the ground after digging a 6" x 4-5f' trench 8" deep to keep them away from my plants. Next year ill build in some better cage around the perimeter -these plant here are about the size I put them out, I had them out and watered in pots twice a day in the may heat wave we had -I should of put them right in the dirt but their wasn’t bunch fuss till la month later and the started to show some weird flowers starting mid June or so.

i really like this pic, its shows how they wher befor overgrowing the area

 

[Squiggles]

Howzit brother..?? You have an awesome bunch of gurls there.. Question do all the plants get direct sunlight or are they partially shaded all day? Great grow brother.. bbl peace.

[hanuman]

I don't understand. I thought IC was a weed forum, but I only see TREES in this thread. Is this normal?

Nice bush, realy big plants... I have same last year... good work, I wish you very big harvest...

 

[beer batter]

More resent pics, just hit them with ancient amber foliar @ 5ml 1tsp per quart like the bottle says. I put a 8ft sturdy stake next to the plants and most are over 8ft tall, the re veged TGU - the Masterkush and Maui -one TGU is like 9ft and the GDP's are from 6-7ft. only the GDP is in full flower now, Maui is catching on but only the shaded parts are showing -same with the re veged TGU, I’m tying stuff up and smacking in more 8ft study steaks -cant find 8ft bamboo so I get these metal poles coated in green plastic, biggest bamboo I find is 6ft I think.

There is GDP; TGU is on the right noticeably taller. The GDP on the far left is the one that had gopher damage and grew back with time to set some nice buds.

Here's a better pic -the closest plant GDP is looking sad, that ground mammal took a lot out of her. I’m gunna thin out some leafs covering some buds tomorrow and clean the plants up for the last time, these GDP are the only ones to have photo problems this year. Their was a lot of potential their, ill start the same way every year from now on.

GDP in front of the taller TGU here

this one is TGU on the left and Maui tops to the right

A Maui flower around the shaded part of the bush

Maui is behind our Masterkush clone via California bean bank seeds (I was lucky and found a gumbo pheno keeper (tuned out being the biggest bud-set and yielder to boot) from a 10pk -was supposed to be 14 but I only got 10), numerous other strains where started and this was my keeper after growing them out indoors. I was looking for a forth strain to add to the 3 keepers I have, now I have 4 keepers and they are all indicia dominant -even TGU w/how tall she gets, if I had the space id get it really wide but their a lot of crop density and I’m tying it up with a few 8ft poles keeping the tops erect and unable to fall into the other plants or do something ugly. This Masterkush originally smelt like chicken stock/soup indoors then finished with a gumbo smell that trainwreak sometimes has, nice big swollen buds indoors –I’m anxious to see an smoke results grown outdoors

-TGU is on the right in that last one

This is the re veged girl, and my hiene (I didn’t plant on her but after my spring breeding project I had 2 that didn’t want to die, well I can shoots coming from Masterkush and Maui in the last weeks of seed production but these just barley set fruit or made any seeds. I got a handful from 4 large plants when I got hundreds of seeds from the 2 small GDP's. -The 2 girls are 7 ft wide and 8ft tall. I have passion for this strain, it’s really a good outdoor producer, more potential then any other strain I had so far. You all could imagine how stoked I was finding 1 bean in a bud I was chopping to roll a splif from a few pounds of sensimilla-TGU it turned out to be male and I cloned it planning the crop I can get in if I start early enough. I honestly don’t know if the original seed was from tgu-self pollination somehow or the Maui-self pollinated it (I found 1 seed in the pound and a half of Maui we had but it was half smoked on) I do know the resulting male had TGU pheno growth pattern and easy to clone like the cut I have.

Some flowers first partly shaded growth

Then a top, this strain can go till November easily

I had powdery mildew on my Maui for some time now, used green cure at half a tsp per gallon isn’t strong enough -I don’t want to use a tbs spoon per gallon again and burn my hairs and stunt the fruit set. It happened indoors and I toned it back, maybe too far. I’m going to try 1 tsp per gallon then 2 then I’m buying serenade to combat this, I trust in serenade but this green cure can burn buds @1tbs per gallon. I will do some searching I know silverback had some information around here about it.
