oohhh!

oohhh!

The fencing is for support. Without it I would lose many branches.

So when you plant a monster like that they grow thru that fence and it supports the weight of the bud on the limb?Is that the standard 1048 redbrand field fence?Thanks humboldt,I was thinking about using that to make my swamp tubes this spring to put in a dried up pond that I wanted to try.I think I read that you take the 4 ft. field fence then you zip tie some 2 foot 6 mil black plastic along the bottom,make a circle out of it,bury down to about the middle top of the plastic then fill it with lime and your soil mix,put the plant in and let her go.the support would be a wanted side effect if she gets that big huh?
 
All passed the OPOP

My plants were all over a pound as expected.
We got so much from the eleven plants we kept that we had to buy a freezer for storage.
There was so much that we left all the bottom branches hanging in the garage. There is about ten pounds of popcorn buds and a crap load of sugar leaves. We bought some bubble bags and will be making hash all year. Once we get to it we'll bag it up for the freezer. No big rush because we have to make room in the freezer first. We still have buds curing in jars that need to go in there.
These bags hold a half pound each.

I copied your idea of the large tomatoe cages as well this year outside and it works great for protecting my ladies from predators early in their lives and like ya say they defitately help ya fight gravity around weeks 6+... next year i was thinin about using two tomatoe cages, one that is about a 10-12 inch DIA about 4 ft tall, and another that about 36-48 inches DIA. With the smaller one, I intend to train my clones, and the larger will be for support in the end...

Hmm, my first grow will be late this season. I plan on using the tips i have read online. The best advise i have read here are that the holes should be big. So i guess since i am planting really late (late may- mid june) and i live in Oregon. I can't count on much yield. But i am growing for mainly personal use anyway; so i don't need much. In your opinions would my plants survive if i treated them properly? Northern Oregon? Sorry not providing too much info but IMO this thread has the most educated outdoor growers following it.

My plans are changing constantly, but i believe i am set on outdoors. I started wanting to plant outdoors, then i wanted to do a pc grow box, but they had like .4 ounce yields-which is ridiculous. So today i thought about tree growing, but its soooooo hard to climb the huge trees around here. Also my plants have to go for 3 weeks with no maintenance, so i will be using a large reservoir with drip irrigation... So i am set on just growing in a field near a creek that is full of thorn and thick bush. I also might just plant lining the little creek, it won't flood or anything.

sorry this is kinda like an intro and a question. It is not organised, i will clean my posts up in the future. :D THANKS for the great community and all the amazing advice and information.

Hey all,

I don't think I posted my 2009 results in the OPOP thread, so here goes:

There were a few pounds in there... By the way, I was growing the "exodus" UK cheese cut (the untidy plants), Jack herer (the long colas) and White rhino.

:)

build a small greenhouse if you can. hanuman's style would do the trick. also look into "earth boxes"... last year there was a great thread on em, but I cannot remember the poster. its a great system for keeping guerilla plants watered. they wick moisture into the soil with a tube filled with coco from a buried reservoir. Also pick fast finishing and highly mold resistant strains. good luck this year.

How does one achieve that busy-ness? i want my plants to get like that but they always grow in the christmas tree shape. never to huge stems come out from the bottom of the stalk. If i top it then i just get 2 smaller christmas trees shapes.

not sure what i should do

two ways to achieve a bushier plant are topping it a couple of times or simply bending the plant over to the side and staking it down. Some plants like the xmas tree configuration... others that don't have such wide branching benefit from the bending over method.

Its still reviving from some serious transplant shock.... I had to strip it down to a single node with some new growth... another week before she is out of the infirmary. Assuming she takes off with renewed vigor in a week, its another two before she has a clone or two on her. Nothing serious is going to happen with the cheese in the full season. Hopefully I will have a squad of em for the late season crop that will go in to follow the black box.
