5150"s 2010 (30 feet,6 plants,24lbs)

Well here we go again. Growing 4 great white shark, and 2 others.
I talked last year about my soil having lots of worms. well here is some shovels fulls. Millions of small earth worms that will grow big. This year I am not planting along that other fence. I am planting down my yard using the arborvidas for protection. The sun goes right over my plant line.
This year I am shooting for 6 plants and 24lbs in about 30 feet of space.

The work starts. been a wet spring in the PAC. NW so ya a late start this year.

I'll be watching this!

Good luck

Peace

Tuned In!!!

im subbed for the grow

Your worms are worthy of envy, but will the soil be drier?

That much moisture will drown Cannabis.

Yes this was the from the holes I dug a few days ago. The soil is sitting on a tarp and just got soaked. I will use Fox Farms and 40% perlite. my holes are a little smaller than last year. My plan in to ge the root ball to my yard soil asap.

Also no tent this year. I bought a large camper van I will park in the back yard. I will park and sleep in it with 5 dogs. I will park it right behind that carport.

Your as bad as me. My big garden is on another property where I don't live, but I parked a camper on it for protection the few weeks against thieves. I have a thread started on it called the big 40...check it out!

things have been awful wet up here in the PNW....should be drying up by next saturday and the sun will return. sounds like you are in oregon so i will be voyeuring your grow from across the state line via the interwebz. good luck

thats the best way to gaurd your crop is to sleep near them or right under them

Im locked in!!! Are u in the state's... if u dont mind me asking

6 plants, 24 pounds? In those holes? Damn that seems pretty ambitious, if not downright impossible.

I'll be right back im gonna go read your previous grow threads to make sure I don't look like a jerk lol

5150.. you are a GOD among men..

subscribbbedddddd

aahh 5150..... another beautiful season to come.... I look forward to your progress .... best wishes bro

Thanks everyone.

These will line my fence line hidden by the arborvidas. They are bike alarms set off by moving the bike/fence. Have not tested yet so that is to come. They have 3 levels of movement settings. They are cheap about $5. They sale others that look better but are much more. If you try to jump the fence these should go off. I will just zip tie them on the fence for they will be inside the arborvidas hidden. I also ran bobwire inside the arborvidas.
I got about 10 others things in the making.

always good to have realy good security, and man i looked at your last outdoor grow and dam bro u got alot. im stayin here the whole time for this grow. i have a feelin its gonna be huge. plus rep,

LOL then you can try to explain it. Although my holes are a little smaller but deeper this year. I used 2 bags per hole with a lot of perlite.

I will also cut the grass back from the holes some for the roots spread good on top.

My thinking on the size of my holes

We all know that just fox farms soil in a 2x2x2 hole will not do what happend last year. So last year I planted in these holes with fox farms soil with 40% perlite. The fox farms soil and the perlite made my plants build a large root ball pretty fast. When that root ball hit my backyard soil everything exploded beyond even stoner wishing. So the key to my thinking is the backyard soil. These small holes will build my root ball and get into the backyard soil asap. even my Veggies I posted in my thread were huge. I had 2.5lbs tomatoes and 3 foot wide Sunflower heads we very little ferts.

Could you also try to explain why I got zero yellow leafs thru the whole grow? That was a hard one and still have no answer.

I have no proof about what I just said. But it is the only logical way I can explain it.

I am doing everything the same but given the plants much more room. And the holes are about 6" smaller this year.

I will post pics soon.


I did make the holes a little bigger than the first pics for I wanted to use 2 bags per hole. They are bigger but not by much. Also I wanted to just plant right into my backyard soil but I got scared to change things up to much. Makes me wonder if I could have better results without the fox farm soil. Say backyard soil and perlite? It's not to late??? what do you think? Stick to my guns and get close to 4lbs again. Or play around with one plant and risk lower or higher results?????? It's a tuff deciding when your talking perhaps lbs per plant.

Now just amagine the 3 plants in my avatar spread out with room to grow? Last year they were so crowded that it was like growing 1/2 plants. And the plant in the middle just had large colas with no sides. Also a half plant over by the fence for the fence block half the plant. I have really good feeling that this year may even bring more than 24lbs for they can strectch there legs all they want. Also do not forget all the plants but one were tied over multible times and still got 12 feet tall. This year is going to be sweet. Those arborvidas are about 20 feet plus.

I thought cultivating amendments into the topsoil all around would be effective for you (as Im sure your plants last year absorbed quite a bit of the available nutrition). I am going to cultivated in some added amendments this time next month.

I only planted 2 plants in the same hole this year. So the good thing is that 4 plants have fresh holes. Yes last year absorbed nutrition did cross my mind a few times. Your post brought it back up big time though. I will have to keep my eye on those two plants in the same holes as last year.

How would you know that this is the premo pot growing soil? Could it be the same in your backyard? I laughed as I look at this at will come to be. I hope.

Oh and the hole by the wheelbarrow has been moved. It is now in front of the ladder by the start of the dog path. The old hole was gravel about a foot down. There is an old septic tank there. The other two holes are over by the the tires. I grew very good veggies over there in the past. Lots of worms. I am hoping full a huge wall of pot. The sun also runs right over the top down the line. It really is perfect match with the trees. That tree by the house is also going to be gone. It is growing funky anyway and has cocoons in crap on it. To close for comfort.

Some info I found on GWS


Im growing Great white shark outdoors this season. I flowered some out and i have to say it is a very good plant with an exceptional high, but ive grown lots of big plants outdoors and this variety is one in which the grower needs to take certain steps to have a successful and satisfying grow. I thought i would pass on my feelings.

3 words describe this plant.
VIGOROUS
MASSIVE
POTENT

1. The vigor of the plant is excellent and its growth is impressive. While the plant is generally hardy and its stem and branching strong, the size of the buds dictate for anyone living in an enviroment with any wind at all that the plant has to be staked. The plant is too big and the buds are too big to withstand any wind. So much so that one 3o mph gust will destroy a beautiful plant and practically end the seasone .

The plant must either be staked and tied down or pruned down to the point that it isnt wind sensitve.

2. Potency on the strain is average at 8 weeks and would make a good 8 week commercial strain, but at 10-11 weeks, she earns a spot on the "personal stash" shelf. For buds so large, it actually perfoms well with regaurd to mould, but watch closely that 9th-11th week cause trouble can come quickly with a wet spell.

3. I come from a traditional farming background, and farmers equate yield with fertilizer. This variety will take all you pour on her and respond approriately. Although the GH staff might disagree, this old OD grower would strongly recommmend being a bit reserved and limit the nutes somewhat.
The vigor of this variety is exceptional and ferts only increase that effect. Pump a lot of juice into these girls and you can end up with a plant thats too big to deal with in a hurry if plant size can present problems for you. Further, because of bud size and density, excessive ferts in the sytem, especially at flower, can enhance the possibilities of powdery mildew and mould.

Pruning to encourage more, but smaller buds would be advisable for those living in a wet enviroment.


An excellent variety in my view. The taste and stone is very good. She just needs a little extra TLC outdoors to leave one satisfied with their grow.
