Git it, okay, so it's just scheduling and an anticipated out date...got it....africanherbman1 said:The reason that they are going out so late is due to the mothers regrowing a little slowly after the last batch of clones I took.
(lot of people hold onto things to get bigger before going out..,just clarifying...)
Well, still not nothing....90 a little significance since my rule of thumb is add 10, always, to anything.....Where I live it will barely hit 90 in the beginning of august, and we do get a good bit of rain.
See, the reason I prefer to plant before storms is 2 fold, as stated....you can water less when initially planting, saves the load you have to deal with (water), rain saturates, and, also, usually brings overcast weather and a little cooler following with it (not always, but, helps)...so, between a little water, some crystals, the rain, and overcast......pretty much the smoothest and easiest start they could have (especially when later in season with the weather.....)
Okay, so, full prep...got it.....Now.....remember...when doing mini's you change your mix a little and you don't really want a veg mix...you want more of a flower...(since of course minimal veg time......sometimes what I do for them is hit em initially (planting) with a heavier (liquid) veg mix....and, a flower will still have some N, plus, of course, people forget soil's not neutral in the first place...will have varied amounts of everything, so, something to keep in mind that people sometimes overlook.... Was just talking about this a lot with someone.....I'm planning on prepping the site w/ coco, bags of top soil...cow manure, hen manure, mushroom compost, ect, bat guano, a good organic flowering mixture, and water polymer crystals.
Last year I harvested the same strain mid october due to small amounts of mold, but the plants were a little bit bigger. I'm guessing that I will have less problems with mold, because the buds will be smaller on the minis.
Ahhhhhh , well, and also, since more out in the open and not always same locations.....you will have more sun, and more circulation
My smallest stuff people say is the best quality.....and, I personally have never had a single problem..(due to full sun and great circulation because more in the open.......so......you got it man .....exactly.......
Note: the bonus of smaller..can be more out in the open.......directly affecting yield and density, etc......product is awesome......I do a lot, sun from dusk till dawn.....
BUT.......
with such increased sun comes increased moisture issues depending where they are...if done in an area with a lot of vegetation?...helps out a little........if done more in the open, like I do em?.....full sun and heat?.......even more so for before the rains and the crystals......but, as said possible.....they get a good start,....they "grab"...and, usually from then on if fairly regular rain they should be fine..(like once a week after "the grab".....)
