Good Luck this season TM.
Im running clones of GG#4 and Tangie outdoors this year.
Im gonna X GG#4 with Tangie and SLH with Tangie.... Hoping they make for some good outdoor plants next season.

You'll never get to harvest 4-5 lb., whoops I mean 1lb. plants of two longer fowering hybrids at the lat your at. You better start pheno hunting them seeds now, and hopefully find one that finishes in 8 weeks. Flowering them for 75% of their cycle indoors and then putting them out for the last couple weeks doesn't make them outdoor plants either....
Here's a pic of a 2LB single plant(actually more than 2, the scale said 1009 grams), just for shits and gig's.

Early Riser was my first true outdoor grow. I had other grows but the first one where I had some guerrilla knowledge.
It was a very good strain as I remember. I would agree with SB's description. Only grew it that one season because I assumed there were so many better strains out there lol. I remember it because we had frost in September that year. Weather patterns have certainly changed in the last 15- 20 years.

cool thanks bro. im putting it on my 2016 to do list then lol. i think we are always thinking there is something better out there no matter if we have success with it or not LOL thats just the mind of a guerilla
That's a beautiful plant man. How many gallons of soil is she in??

This strain has the most vigorous growth I've ever seen - and I've been growing for 10 years now. I'm not sure what causes something like this, I wonder if it was simply the fact that they were bred under the sun in a balanced soil mix? I've read that adequate levels of calcium and magnesium are vital in breeding, and my mix actually had an abundance of calcium due to the grower mix I added to my nutrient kit (peat, perlite, lime, wetting agent)

Holy Rhodi a few weeks into the ball game... time to weed out some males and choose the outdoor contenders!
I invite everyone else to share their outdoor progress here in this thread... tis the season

Thanks ODW
Those GG#4 were amazing last summer, I can't wait to see what you do with the new crosses. Tangie is a 12 weeker, isn't she?

Oh God I hope not! According to Reserva Privada's web site.....
....It says shes a 9 to 10 weeker and will finish outdoors late Sept, early Oct.
Lets hope so.
Im going out to scout a new area tom morning. Kind of a long drive every weekend to water and maintain them, but it seems to be a great area to grow in as far as no people or copters.
Ready to have your mind blown?..........That plant was in an 18 gal. tote. When I use totes like that, I drill 2" holes in the bottom of the tote, usually about 8 of them. Then drill 1" holes all around the sides about an inch up from the bottom.
That tote was sitting on top of a swamp grass patch just on the edge of the water line. So once the tote filled in with roots,they went thru the holes in the bottom, and made a mat of roots that connected into the swamp grass.
After everything was harvested from that patch, I went back and pulled the tote out. It was like fighting against the strongest Velcro I had ever seen. Seriously I had to use a machete to cut the roots from the ground, just to be able to move the tote from that location.

damn u had some massive roots. im trying rapid start this year for my roots..i have never used anything like that before so want to see how it stacks up to the previous years. im also using some mychorazzie so im hoping to have massive roots this year..i think rapid start is just alfalfa extract,barley extract and willow extract. i thought about bio root as well but didnt get it. i also got liq seaweed which i hear grows massive roots to
Do you mean waterline as in the "shore" of the swamp? Or an inlet stream? I feel like there are so many angles to look at when planning your location in a place like this, swamps are so unpredictable with water levels going up and down (in most places I've seen at least)
That's great to use for transplants and cloning man. If you want big fruits, you need big roots so container size is a big factor in terms of final yields. If DTOG's roots didn't penetrate the bottom of his 18 gal totes and monster their way through to the water source I can bet that his plants wouldn't have gotten so huge. This really is the way to grow outside - at least if you're unable to water every single week IMO

Kinda both actually. It was on the "shore' of the swamp, and the stream that feeds that swamp was only 50 yards away. And yes the water levels were unpredictable.
I used that spot for 3 years in a row. The first year it was super dry. That was because the beavers hadn't set up a good dam yet. The only place to get water that year was about 100 yards from where that big plant was. Could still fill pails all day, just had to walk a little.
The second year I only had about 8-10 plants there because I had a better spot, with a garden hose
. That year though the beavers were at work in hard mode. So the water level would rise even higher when it rained. That year I had to move plants up the embankment some to give the roots a rest from constantly being in the water. Not all the roots, but the bottom 6" of a 7 gal. grow bag.The third year, the beavers had made a huge dam. The edge of the swamp was now only 20-30 yards from the highest point on the embankment. That year also happened to be the year that it rained the most in September/October.
The water got so high, that the big plant I posted had water flowing around it all the way up to the top of the tote. The only thing that stopped it from floating away was the mat of roots that had grown thru the bottom. I had plants in 5 gal pails and 7 gal grow bags that were staked up with bamboo stakes. If not for them those plants would have floated away as well.
I actually saved a big lose by going there during a huge downpour. I moved about 10-12 plants up onto the embankment because there was a river waist high on me flowing right thru my plants. I spent about an hour and a half working in the pouring rain. Carrying heavy ass water logged plants up to safety.
Lesson learned was always prepare for the worst possible scenario. And when growing in a swamp, find the highest ground possible, in case of floods. Having easily accessible water is real nice for guerilla grows, but can also be the death of a crop if the shit hits the fan in the fall rains.
Great post. I'll take all of that into consideration this month while I site search! I usually plant directly into the ground, but I may fill up some totes in riskier spots like swamps and bogs. Do you foliar spray at all? This year I want to start spraying my outdoor plants, I've only done my indoors up until now. I found a cheap 4 gallon backpack sprayer that I'm going to get, let me know what you think about it: Chapin 4 gallon backpack sprayer
I like how it's plastic, I think it'll be easy to lug in and use out there...

Never used that brand. But yeah it should work nice. I would spray paint it forest green. Last year I bought a pricier sprayer and it came with extra nozzle heads for specific uses, one for bugs, one for PM, and a couple more I can remember.
I foliar sprayed last year, for pests and molds. No food for the plants in it though. Not that I'm against it, just more worried about spider mites eradication and PM prevention.

Ya this thing would need a paint job for sure, that's the fun part though! Haha
What sprayer did you use last year, if you don't mind?

I guess it's called "decks and more " I actually had the box for it on my deck, went and looked just now and that's what it said. It was a 2 gallon model. I think I paid like $30 for it at lowes or home depot.
Thanks man
