Wanted to stop in and say hi to another mariposa grower....4 hoop houses outside vegging now, pull out lights and genes April 1st and harvest June 1 with full term going in right behind!! Will probably do full term under cover this year (greenhouse of some sort) to get around ordinance.

Been a member for years couldn't figure out how to log into old account under jbarsk8 I believe....
i guess when i say full season i mean plants that are planted outside in the spring and harvested when they ripen naturally in the fall. full term plants are grown to their full natural potential. As opposed to early-season light dep, a late-season second harvest, or a winter greenhouse.
ya can't plant outside in august and call them full season , no sir it aint right
or whatever, its just words anyway. Hope all is well for ya this weekend BB
WE done officially expanded to the boony cuts of the 951! Just finished setting up an indoor garden, got a new experiment going: coco beds in flood trays... We used 200gallon smarties with the sides folded down cuz the shop didn't have the actual smartpot 4x4 tray liners.
figured we should test the concept inside before we try to grow a monster in a tray outside
Flood/Drain Coco bed:
Woody OG's immediately after being planted in the coco beds. they vegged 5 days after this pic was taken, and then flowered:
ALso we started a few trays of Agent Orange and Purple Gorilla, but those plants are in regular 2gal gro bags and they just went into flower so no point in posting pics yet

We did one tray of Harcore OG with 12 plants (I fucked up and left some on the hill), and then the rest are Woody OG with 16 in each tray. They already had beefed up considerably when we went back to flip them. Everything looks great, going to post some pics of the seedlings, moms, clones, and other tents soon. I'm still confused by the picture uploading.
so it looks like 25 monsters is our goal... we are solidifying our plans for this season... Here is what we have so far, i would love to get some input here if anybody wants to chime in...
15x 500 gallon smartpots with vermifire soil
10x 200 gallon smarties with coco
strains we are growing will be Hardcore OG and Gorilla Glue 4. WE have all our clones ready and some are already a foot tall, so they should be bushes by the time we put them outside.
I am curious if anybody has experience with planting multiple clones in a single big pot? TheJointedOne suggested it a few pages back and it sounds like a great idea for ensuring a decent yield while *appearing* to keep our plant count down. How many plants to put in each pot, what size should each plant be when they go in, and how big should the pots be, are all variables that worry me. We are planning to triple or quadruple-plant each pot, but i would like to get those details figured out. Also I don't want the plants smothering each other in the same pot, any tips on training them?
Also, i don't have much experience with soil mounds, but would they be a better option than 500gallon smarties? Definitely a cheaper option... how do mounds work?
any help from experienced growers is greatly appreciated

If you do it right, a mound and a fabric pot work off the same ideas.
You need more than 2 yards to have a real 2 yard mound. More like an extra half yard per plant , that is because of the sloped shape of the pile. You measure the area of the mound from the top of the pyramid, not the base.
Roots run in to the native soil much easier because they're chasing water down the slope opposed to if you were to dig a hole and plant in it.
I like mounds because I can work on them easier and fabric pots restrict a major percentage of the root systems expansion potential.
My biggest year a lot of my mounds had 4 plants in them, just plant them as far as possible from one another. Plants communicate and don't grow in to each other as much as one might think. If you're already raising the plants you're planning on growing full term and able to keep them healthy stacking 4 plants isn't going to do you any better. Unless you're talking about doing it 12x12x2 mound...then you may end up with 15+ per depending on your skills and the fall.
If you're hell bent on growing OG, I'd stack those up and go singles on the glue.

so we were planning to just grow Hardcore OG and Gorilla GLue 4 in our big pots, but not all our clones rooted so we just scored some cherry pies clones to fill the remaining spots we have in big pots... final tally for big pots will probably be 9 pots of Gorilla Glues, 10 Hardcore OG, and 6 CHerry Pie, all triple or quadruple potted xcept for the glues which will be single potted.
Also picked up some Bodhi seeds, pretty excited... got teh Ancient OG, Solo's Stash, and WiFi#2 x Snow Lotus... we probably will put a bunch of seeds out in 30gallons, i'm not sure if i said that yet in this thread. we might try ta hide them on our property to try to get around this ordinance.
