Growing by your self sucks

i'm in. I will have to read through this more when it's not 3am

Ryte on bro, thanks for stopping by, your garden is lookin killer as usual, hope you stay tuned!

Looking great OD, however I think those cages will struggle to support the monsters you're raising!

Lol thanks man. To be honest the cage is just for LST. Allot gets cut out as maintenance is needed., that cage is cheap and beats tying every branch down I want to train. The real deal cages come August if I can make it there. Growing in sacramento sucks. Always a gamble. :tiphat:

They're huge already man. Can't wait to see them all grown up.

How does sac handle code enforcement? They just chop it down? What's the code there Anyway? I knew a dude with 48 plants in his backyard inside sacramento in the hood.

I see... that makes more sense then. Won't August be a little late though?

No different to growing anywhere else then really... if the wrong people find your grow! What really sucks is that there are plenty of dick heads out there who don't agree with the concept of "live and let live". I guess you are right though - in some places the stakes are higher.

Hope you stay safe bro :tiphat:

I also live in the hood. For the most part it's complaint drivin but thy pick and choose seems like. If you've got a foot traffic and a known POS then they will def cut you down.

from seeing a guys garden flower early in june last year nd revert, i would definately pull em now nd replant with fresh vegging plants, trust me, alot of stress and time wasted... best of luck on the rest of season :)
 
We're back to full veg on the 2 that started. It was very slight. If they weren't already 4 ft I would have replaced so didn't miss out on too much. I'm going to apply some more lst this weekend. Wanted to get some shots in before they lost some height.

Was thinking of planting the 2 girla together. What's the cons of planting together? Never done it.

If you have backups replace those that you think might have started flowering. I just pulled 6 big 4ft clones for the same reason. They were my biggest plants but I know the seed starts will crush them come mid summer, wasting time sucks. Double planting clones works great, quad planting works great too ;)

I should have mentioned this earlier.

BTW: I don't know why your saying that Growing by yourself sucks?

Like we're all here to help you like a BIG Happy Cyber Ganja Family.
Which is what ICMAG is really all about. We all need help at times.
I do know that having a physical person there to help water and
stuff would be great though.

:comfort: :tiphat: :thank you: :woohoo: :huggg:

Thanks for stopping by man! Much respect to you. I do have a few plants for back ups. I'm going to transplant into bigger pots and see how they take off. I'll give them 1 more week and see where I'm at. These are the largest plants I've ever had. Last year they weren't this size till mid july and I had my hands full since it's just little ol me. So having a couple that might be set back isn't going to be so bad. I do want to grow some trees though so I'll see where I'm at in another week. Thanks again for stopping in!

Yes that's why I'm here lol. Whole bunch of helping like minded people to communicate with. It really helps the season pass bye. It would be nice to have someone to come by and water though for sure. But I find everything so critical from watering to even starring that I don't think I'd want anyone else to do it lol. Like why the Fk you starrin at my plants like that!? Lmao.

I kinda dig growing by myself! I can do it the way I know works well for me...

But trimming by yourself really sucks!
 
Is it normal for lower leaves to lay down towards the end of the day? Uppers are still praying for the sun but some plants the leaves just look heavy. I gave them a good waterin yesterday. Not home all day so just curious if it's normal. Anyways. Here's a quick pic

So I'm guessing I'm over watering. I'll let them dry out till they beg me for it. It will be good for them.

Dropped two of Hillbillys sour Trax in the diet today. There going to be sharing a 200 gal hole. Drenched them good. Let's get it on! Got a raised bed coming for the plants that really started to flower on me. Nothing goes to waist

I always try to water as little as possible. Keeping the soil constantly wet discourages the roots from searching out their own water and growing to their full potential. It also means less watering later on if you don't mollycoddle them initially. When I do water, I try to give a good soaking (not just the surface), so the roots follow the water that's deep down.
