wats up guys nd girls this is my second real outdoor, ive got big bud and big budxnorthern lights, and some bag seeds. I havnt counted the total plants yet, i got off to a late start so ill have an update within the next couple of days with pics of all of the (hopefully) girls. my camera was down, just got it back so i just took some real quick test shots, but these are my two best, ones a straight bb, the other is the bbxnorthern lights, both in holes about 3 1/2 foot wide nd almost about 2 foot deep. like i said ill have more pics and updates, just wanted to get the thread goin, one question i have is the leaves on the nl mixd one are growing kinda twisty and weird, should i be worried? it was worse but i didnt have my camera to show yas, but its started to straighten out. as always any input is appreciated, and good luck this year everyoneGEDC0028.jpgGEDC0034.jpgGEDC0035.jpgGEDC0037.jpg

Where are you located? In california I think you would be fine. the lights in northern california are still around 13 hours on 11 off (i think I have an hour of shade though). Thats what my light meter catches in my back yard... I live around Los Angeles but more in the valley ;). I actually can post a picture of the chart for you if you'd like it.

i kinda do a 50/50, i start them out in jiffy pots, put them outside in the morning and inside under the light at night, or if its cloudy or ganna rain i keep em in, until their taller than the weeds around my plots, then they go in the ground, and thank ya some of my other ones dont look as good as these, ill have pics up by tomorrow at the latest. and beginner thanks but im quite far away from cali, really far actually lol i think these two look so good cuz they get sunlight from dawn till dusk, their only about a month old, give or take a cpl days

wats up guys, i know i said i'd have pics a few days ago, but i ended up having to go out of town and just got back but newho i finally took sum pics of all the plants, all in all i've got right above 20, i left some out cuz their just simply a joke, not very big at all. I've noticed some yellowing leaves on some of them, so they will be getting their first dose of nutes tomorrow my two biggest ones are still doing great, and i've got a pic of my 5 footer, although since it was just bagseed i think it'll prolly end up being a male, but most of them are nlxbb and just regular bb, i do have some bagseed mixed in. but so far no real problems, sum of them are starting to get a lil ate up, so im ganna be spraying some seven on them to fix that. i got some hook looking things from a friend, and i plan on doing some lsting on the ones that i can, ill post pics when its all done but besides that happy growing nd good luck everyone

wats up fellow growers, its been awhile since i've updated, just looked at my last post and its exactly 2 months, crazy. but newho my girls have just now started the beginning of the flowering stage as i've picked 4 males, hopefully all the rest are females, as i have not seen any more plants with male flowers on them. out of the 8 feminized seeds that i bought only 1 ended up being a male so far, all the other ones were bagseed. so far from my experience paying the extra money for feminized seeds has been worth it. I lstd most of my smaller plants this year, im sure you can tell by how many top they have and how much shorter they are. I will tell you one thing, im definitely going to be digging holes for all my plants next year. one nlxbb and a bb were the only 2 plants that i dug big holes for, roughly 3x4 for both of them, and about 2-3 feet deep, and its well worth it. can anybody give me a rough estimate on wat youll think ill be getting from these 2 plants? they're the last couple of pics,(edit: the last cpl of pics on this page at the time it wouldnt let me load them all but im sure you can which ones im talkin about) the taller ones lol. I've only fed all of them twice within these two months that i havnt updated, and im going to start giving them flowering nute pretty soon, within the next couple of days. the one plant idk wat happened, it loooks like 2 plants but its really only 1, it had two top cuz i topped it, so i just layed them over opposite ways of each other, and it actually has 2 main stems, i took a pic of that just cuz i thought it looked neat and i've never seen anything like it before. I also included a pic of the first females flowers (pistols) i've started to see, they're on my nlxbb, let me tell you i'll definitely be buying some of these seeds again as she's so easy to grow, im very impressed with the growth of the one in the hole. as for the bb i knew it was ganna be a short bushy plant, but damn shes one leafy bitch and so are my other bbs, i expect a very high bud:leaf ratio which i dont really like but if i get quite a bit off of them im sure i wont really mind. sorry for such the long update, its been awhile and im in a quite talkative mood for some reason (must be cuz ive got my good friend captain morgan with me tonight) but newho if anybody has pics of some nlxbb buds or bb buds i'd love to see some to know wat im ganna have comin my way. all in all im happy with my two plants, but not so happy with all the other ones, even though they have a lot of tops their just not as big as wat i was hoping for, the cpl weeks we've had where everyday was over 100 degrees nd almost 2 months with very little rain really took its toll on my girls this year. but yea as always any comments and feedback is appreciated, as well as suggestions and tips. as for now its time for me to go play some video games and drink some more captain, im sure ill be replying with sum chatter even if noone replys, as mr morgan seems to have that affect on me:razz:GEDC0263.jpgGEDC0272.jpgGEDC0271.jpgGEDC0270.jpgGEDC0266.jpgGEDC0268.jpgGEDC0265.jpgGEDC0264.jpgView attachment 2283571View attachment 2283570View attachment 2283563GEDC0260.jpgGEDC0262.jpgGEDC0273.jpgView attachment 2283564GEDC0261.jpg

seven works pretty good and ya man it been dry over here 2.

Im already flowering the only thing i can do use the mixture ive made of farm compost composted gauno and urea and molassus i put alil bit of each in a 20 bottle of spring water watever and mix and hope they fatten up.

Then let soak for 2 days i dump that on em 1 bottle for 2 plants then i sprinkle alil over a half of cup of bone meal between both should stimulate good growth

thanks guys nd 420newbie i try not to use seven when it starts to flower, i used it on a cpl of my girls last year nd it had a very weird taste to it, so im going to try to just ride it out, and all that stuff is hard to find for me around me, but i do plan on using molasses this year, thanks laney these strains are so easy to grow, dig hole, put plants in, dont give em too much nutes, lotsa sunlight and wallaww watch it grow. thanks frenso. i just cleaned the lens on my camera, so ill prolly snap a cpl pics while im doin my rounds

snapped sum pics on my rounds, all is well except for my one nlxbb my biggest one seemed to take a hit from the wind the other day, i noticed it was leaning yesterday but didnt think anything of it, so i examined it more closely today it it looks like it actually broke the soil, should i tie it down to the one side? i'd hate for it to become up rooted nd bam there she goes, i put a 5 gallon bucket next to my 2 biggest girls so you can see their size in perspective. the 2 close up pics are of my biggest bb, you can really see how many leaves she has, and the first sign of pistols on her as well i snapped sum pics of. the one is just a cool look bottom/side branch that is best really odd. and the 2nd stem pic is the one on my bb, the 1st one is where you can see how my nlxbb is leaning and broke the ground. no captain for me tonight, just some good ol brewskies. as always any suggestions and tips are appreciated, enjoy my girls just soakin up the evening sunGEDC0295.jpgGEDC0296.jpgGEDC0297.jpgGEDC0298.jpgGEDC0299.jpgGEDC0305.jpgGEDC0306.jpgGEDC0308.jpgGEDC0309.jpgGEDC0311.jpgGEDC0310.jpgGEDC0321.jpgGEDC0322.jpgGEDC0325.jpgGEDC0324.jpgGEDC0323.jpg

I have a big one that I am letting go up. The others I tied (LST). I am going to stake her soon because I think she may be in danger when she starts to get big buds. I might use a couple of posts or anchors. You might put a stake or post next to your big one for support. Your grow looks great :)

thanks everybody ive got some old railroad spikes layin around that im just ganna nail in the ground and tie to her, now all i gatta do is find some string and frenso i was reading on the cost of outdoor thread that you use bloom booster? is this your first year using it? or have you used it before im just wondering cuz im trying to get my buds to taste as best as i can this year, and thats wat i used last year, so far no seven so i can take that out of the equation but its getting that time to start bloom nutes and i also use bloom booster was just wondering if maybe that could be where my harsh taste is coming from, i know im ganna be using molasses this year for sure
