New idea for late planting

[MountainBudz]

Have really been pushing late plants out lately, increasing numbers dramatically to increase production. I will be starting my last run tomorrow (thought my last was my last but seeing that I still have by August 15th to get em out I will do one last run lol.)

An idea floated across my head to get 15 or 20 7 inch deep storage bins and they are about 2 1/2 feet wide and about 4 feet long, these will be camouflaged and placed in brambles and tall grass which get all day sun and filled with promix, epsoma, water polymer crystals, and a little compost. There will be about 100 non feminized seedlings per container so almost half will be culled.

I'm thinking that maybe I could get 5 to 7 grams per plant like this in this sea of green outdoor type method and I would be very happy with those numbers. Even at 5 grams a piece that would be 250 grams per container (8.9 oz's) so with 15 containers would be 8 lbs of top main colas.

I could actually see them yielding a bit less but still yet it will all main cola action. I can water and feed these when needed. The total volume of the container is 40 liters, so you guys out there that are smart with math, about how many bales of promix will I need to accomplish this?

I'm going to give it a try, it may or may not work, but it is worth a try.

instead of containers, why not just make a square of logs rocks put in a tarp ad fill with your mix ?

I just googled the bag of promix I use, (promix bx). The 3.8 cu. ft. bale is 107l. It says that right on the front of the bag,lol.

So you could do 2 of those containers with one bail. It might work, it might not. I have put plants out late season, like we are now. Sometimes with the transition period, they don't finish on time. Especially if your using seed plants that need to be a certain age before they will even flower (sexually mature).

I would still give it a shot. I mean hell a bale of promix is only $35 around my parts. 4 grams more than pays for it. And I'm pretty sure you could pull at leas that much, lol.

Thanks guys for the info and the help! Starting from clones will be perfect for you Joint Operation, especially at that size! Sorry to hear about the loss as well. I got my first 4 boxes prepped tonight and fixing to set the plants in and move to their final location. These seedlings are only two weeks old and from regular seed. I had a large seed patch a year or so ago that I bred out and gonna see how they perform this year. In each of the 4 boxes I will place 50 seedlings. So after thinning out males hopefully I will come across about 25-30 sexy girls! lol.

The next few boxes will be 72 per box since the seeds were only started on August 1st they will be much smaller plants. In my guerilla growing trade secrets book it states that usually plants sown in late July and early August are more than likely 75% female, this guy has found that he gets a higher percentage of females later in the year than early on. Seems like a very legit and handy book so I kind of have some faith in his words.

At first I was skeptical because everything else of mine is just starting to flower already and figured that the seedlings would have to have a good two or three weeks to reach sexual maturity to start flowering and didn't think i'd have time to finish them out. But then I got to thinking, well they would have the whole month of August and September to be in the great sun and harden off well and yes we get very light frosts around the end of October but usually not freezes until after November 5th or so. In my personal experience a mature plant can shake off a frost pretty easily and some people around here take only top buds and harvest the rest in beginning to middle of November and it is killer bud and actually puts some red, purple and blue tints to the buds.

So, if my plants don't start hitting flower until say September 1st (calculating by the latest estimate) then i'd have all of september and all of october to flower and hopefully some of november, which most will be done my October 21st or so. So i'm going to give this a shot, the helicopters seem not to fly as much then as they do in June and July either. They fly the hardest during July here for some reason, haven't seen any flying in a couple weeks or so.

Anyone else have experience with 12/12 from seed outdoors? If so share some pics, stories or just whatever ya got! Love seeing things like that but it is something you don't see much.

that's wat we are doing because we got robbed of everything but 1 plant.

so . we put out yesterday and this am. and got out 30 clones about 2.5 feet tall. and we just literally dragged about 1000 gallons of recycled soil. top dressed it with happy frog granules and worm casting. and just made a bed.

had no time or energy to do anything else. figured. if they turn out . they turn out.

if not. no big deal..

if they do . its bho. lol

Uggggghhh... I'm sorry to hear you're in the same situation as me.

It just is what it is at this point.

One garden of 48 planted mostly between 7/1 all the way up to August 1st... it makes me sad to think about everything that could have been if code enforcement hadn't cockblocked my garden this year.

I did hand broadcast about 200 some odd F2 autoflower seeds at a secret patch near a seep, so the area always stats moist even this time of year. A neighbor made them 4 years ago and I just did it yesterday. It'll be fun to see what comes up. Not ever going to water, just tilled the native and threw down some Epsoma.

Hey bo, how is this working out for you so far? I'd like to see some pics of the way your doing it. I will post some of my own soon. I'm still putting them out bro lol. Got an old hippie grower friend that swears he will leave the plants out till mid November in the ice and all. Never hurts to try I don't guess.

After foilar feeding some 2 week old seedlings the other day I have realized that I have a product put back that sends them pretty much immediately straight into flower. I got it free from an order that was messed up, the company sent me a sample of primordial solutions rootementary, sea green and true blooms.

These products so far work better than anything else i've ever used for what they are meant to do.

The true blooms when sprayed onto a vegging plant only 2 weeks old put them into flower within two days.

I will start more seedlings and continue to use this stuff, it is also suppose to shorten flower time and increase yield. It doesn't list the ingredients but it is suppose to be organic.

I'm assuming it doesn't contain PGR's but i'm not sure. I think these products are meant for strawberry cultivation but i'm not sure, just think i've read that somewhere before.

It does have a strong organic smell but also has a very ammonia smell as well.

Oh well, it works for those of you that wanna put some late season minis out but are afraid of the time it will take them to flower.

Grow on!
