I've only grown twice, but had a successful grow this summer with Nirvana AK-48. I chopped the first week in October, which in retrospect was probably a good 2 weeks early. Flowering started the first week of August, so while I gave it about 9 weeks, it could've gone 10-11. This was outdoors...

Been a while since I've updated here, and unfortunately no pics. One of my girls turned out to be a dude, so he was trashed the first week of August. The one remaining plant has grown up into a beautiful 5 footer. I had to move her into the woods about 3 weeks ago because the wife freaked on...

I have a nice AK-48 plant, about 5 feet tall. No recent pics, and it's raining today, but I'll try to take some over the weekend.

I've got 2 nice AK-48s growing outside right now. They started out in poor lighting, but when I moved them to a better spot they exploded. Both have been topped, the taller one is over 4 feet now and the shorter one is over 3 feet and catching up. Both have shown female, and I can't wait to...

Watching my plants with no smoke too, bro. I have a couple of AK-48s growing in 5 gal buckets, and I generally water them twice a week. They're both pushing 4 feet and getting bushy, but no flowers yet.

Things are looking up indeed. Spent some time with my girls yesterday, and they are indeed girls! Just starting to show sex in the past couple of days. And their new locations is definitely doing them good - the larger one is just under 4 feet tall, and the smaller one is a bit over 3 feet...

Rougar23 - I'm not far from where you live. The main concern with rain is the damage that heavy rain can do to your plants; I've lost a few to rain this year myself. But by this point your plants should be strong enough to withstand wind and heavy rain. Rainwater is actually much better for...

I've read lots of places that it's okay to bury your pots, or put them in a hole to keep the plants lower. I have a couple of plants in black 5-gallon buckets, buried maybe 6" into the ground. I'd thought about burying them up to the outside lip to hide them better, but is this a good idea...

I took another good look at them yesterday, and gave them a good long drink with nutes. It was a hot one, and very sunny for most of the day so they looked pretty happy. The larger one is definitely bigger than last year's crop was at harvest, so I guess things are looking up. The main stem...

Well, the remaining two plants still look healthy. But they still seem so small. The larger one is about a month old, and still barely a foot tall with only a few sets of leaves. I started applying fox farm nutes last week, and will continue today. They are in direct sunlight, though in a...

Well, I lost another one, dumb bastard that I am. I never did cover up the small seedling, and I came home last night to find that the thunderstorm had snapped the stem just below the leaves. The two larger plants are fine, so I guess they're hardy enough to deal with harsh storms at this...

Thanks again for the replies. I checked out your journal, perkie. I like the under the bed idea to get your plants sprouted. Thanks to everyone that posts ideas and suggestions from their own experience, because it helps newbs like me figure out what they're doing wrong :roll: I sat by my...

Thanks. I'll try it out in the next couple of days. I don't drink much soda, but 2-liter bottles shouldn't be too hard to find.

Anyone? Best methods for keeping small seedlings safe from the elements (besides starting indoors)?

This is my second outdoor grow attempt (last year was pretty poor), and though I've done more preparation this time, my little seedlings are getting thrashed by the torrential rainstorms we've had over the past few weeks. In the woods near my house I have 5 5-gallon buckets, each filled with...

Well, the summer is barely started, but my crop is taking a serious hit. Just checked on my gardens, and one of them has been completely decimated by the storms of this week - flooded out. The other is taking insect damage on 2 of the 3 remaining plants. Please - any suggestions on how to...

Finally took a few pics of the girls. This is one of the gardens, approx. 36 days from seed. 3 more germinated seeds went in 6 days before the pics were taken, and they're more than an inch high already. 3 of the 4 germinated seeds I had were planted, because I dropped one when I opened the...

I really appreciate the good advice here. We got frost the past two nights in a row, and I had to leave the seedlings unprotected. They made it through with flying colors - go Early Misties!

Correction - there are 6 little babies, each with 4 leaves now. Mother Nature - do your thing!

We've had a lot of rain with patches of sunshine over the last week, so I've pretty much left the seeds alone to do their thing. I checked on them last night, and was very happy to find 5 little sprouts with 2 leaves each :) I'll give it a few more days and post a photo.
