The growing large plants, outdoors, thread...

[Carlos Danger]

Veg has a great point! Beat them at their game and subdivide that plot unless county won't allow it (typical here on agricultural land).

My biggest fear about having a" backyard of death" would be a lawsuit over a dumbfukt cop hurting them self trying to cut it down or something. I haven't seen one bad plant in this thread this year! Anyone hear if Tom or filthepotmore? The information that's been shared in this thread has been unsurpassable. It's opened my eyes on how to really grow the healthiest plants possible. Thank you to all who have posted up the information, and an even bigger thanks to Tom for starting it and giving a forum for it to reside in!

Man...I haven't seen fill this year, have I? His girls last year were magnificent. That guy has set the bar. Even his plot is aesthetically pleasing.

Thoughts on lack of stretch for some folks

Thoughts on lack of stretch for some folks

I personally think 6 ft plants are dandy.
My hypothesis is a real "stretch".
We are at the solar minimum in the sun's 11 year cycle so we are getting less energy.
August has been cooler than normal since the last heat wave so less heat.
We have had some cool nights and mornings adding color but slowing growth.

We always warm up in September and get a little rain to wash dust off.
Hopefully everyone will be happy. At least we aren't in the middle of a mold epidemic.

a handful of guys in my area are having issues with early flower and overall just lack of stretch...i saw 2 friends gardens in july, and since then have only grown a foot or two in the last month.. looks like they went into flower then reverted in late july is my only guess....on top of that my low elevation garden is starting to flower but the stretch just aint there! the plants are all super lush and green, and bushing out but just not seeing that huge july-august stretch for the sky, they have plenty of nitrogen, compost teas, and PPD and other various foliars, zero signs of root disease, insect damage or deficiencies for that matter, very healthy plants but no vertical growth, we are just stumped on what to do......i drive past a bunch of neighbors gardens too and i am noticing only 4-5 feet tall on average, havent seen a single 10+ footer in my area with the exception of Fisher, who is up at higher elevation and my high elevation garden is all 7-8 footers right now... it feels like someone snuck into my grow with a bottle of Bushmaster or something, some plants literally look like they were dosed with placo, nodes stacking ontop of nodes and literally no stretch. of course the only strain putting on decent size at low elevation is blue dream.

Just out of curiosity...have you measured the ergs of the soils at low and high elevations? Basically just the EC of the soil...a measure of how much energy it contains. I would be curious to see if there were a difference.

Gotta have insect control.

Cant forget Oregon, maybe the lesser known producer but rest assured they do their part... Better to say the flood of the West Coast. Maybe more like a series of Ganja tidal waves come harvest time, that surge east to inundate all those desert dry, pricey and starving markets. No place like the West Coast thats for sure.



PS>You should probably start building an Ark if you havent already. Forecast looks wet....

Yea I have to say the leaves are dropping and changing color fast on the oaks and the other native foilage.

imo it never hurts to pick a bud/plant/garden a week early if theres a storm coming. Id rather have a tiny bit early over taking ANY risk of mold...that seems like simple logic. Besides, most folks pick their stuff late anyway..they like to wait for weight lol but shit stuff thats a bit early doesnt degrade as fast imo and has a nicer shade of bright lime green, not brown turds which is what i see a lot of when it comes to mersh outdoor

fwiw
