Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

Hello guys, This is Mare A Wanna, I posted a few times in here last summer, I forget the password to that account so I made this one. Anyway I got a little paranoid last year after they got KB's plants and decided to stay off the forums. After having a succesful harvest last year (due to this forum) I've decided to come back and see what else I could learn from you guys. So my first question, Last year the strain I grew AMS. It was easy enough to grow, and it turned out to be good smoke. But i wasnt happy with the yeilds at all.. I didnt harvest untill the last week of October, My plants were about 6 feet tall and only averaged about 2oz per plant. Most of the buds were nice sized they just weren't very dense at all. My buddys also grew the same strain and didnt even yeild what I did. So I dont think the problem was my growing, but rather the strain. Im looking for something that will finish around the same time if not a couple weeks sooner. That will be the same quality, but yield better. Do you guys have any suggestions for me? I plan on starting everything inside then moving outside sometime in May..

dank i dont make up the names-

GD i use heavy havest outdoors and have used it indoors it works great alone, but even better with big bud, i still have a bucket of each and plan to buy more its a good set and forget nute works for three weeks but on my big plants last ear it lasted about 2 weeks using about 130-150 grams per plant it says 1-2 lb per 10x10 area

rzza- i'd expect more from you LOL

nice to see you agian mare and glad we helped you out hopefuly you'll do better this year..me too hhaahah, and im not the only one that got raided and let go so far rzza is in the same boat now! we're raid buds

I gota kandy kush bean from tude also. Havnt popped it. They been sendin that one out to everybody for free for a minute now. Couple of friends got it but no one sprouted em yet.. ill keep ya posted. All my clones are rockin in the aero. Not bad for a couple of 4 bulb 2 footers (waitin for my 4 foot 8 bulb quanum to come in)

ran that nextgen for 12 hours and would of tea bagged it no problem. Actually blowing out cold air and no heat WHAT-SO-EVER!

havent been on in minute..... glad to see DANKSHIZZLE stayed around those stem look like they will deffinatly hold up..... now the process of back reading oh the joy

were has hic been!!!!!

Thanks for the input Dave.....

I'm all about maximizing though lol. Lots of people rave about their 1000w bulbs for single bulb grows.... Most of them place the bulb 2' away from their plant tops and probably fail to realize the fact that at a 2' distance they're putting about 1/3 of the lumens to the plant tops compared to a 600w @ 1'. Some people have told me 24" seems to be the magic number. I can't imagine a 1000w bulb being the bulb of choice for a single bulb grow at that distance without any overlapping is the thing. I figure it would be worth it for me if I could place a 1000w bulb 13 or 14 inches from the tops safely without heat probs but I don't know if that is practical or not. I'm curious what these new hoods can do!

With Vertical / side lighting you can run the 1000 watter much closer, and the branch development is noticeably better. I had just started using this method when I was forced to move. I was very impressed. Only made it 5wks into flower before I had to give them to another that lights on top. Right now at 7wks the side buds are almost as big as the main cola. I wish I could have finished them out. By far the healthiest bushiest(?), untopped plants I have grown. Hope you dont mind my two cents.

Have you guys ever seen these videos? They are a good watch. The guys in these movies have the best job on earth.

Thanks KB, Good luck to you also my friend. Hopefully it's not as hot this is year and we get more rain then we did last year. Sorry to hear about rzza, that shit sucks. You were so close last summer man, it was heart breaking to hear all that bomb looking smoke, Would never get to help patients who needed it. I sent my order into GHSC today. I decided to go with two strains for now. The first one is called Kalashnikova. Its a cross between their AK47 and White Widow strains. They say its hearty plant that branches out well and produces nice sized buds. It's suppose to be ready by the end of September and can yeild up to 1000gr per plant. I know im never going to get close to that off of them, but I'd be happy with a 1/4lb per plant. The second strain I went with is called Super Critical, it's a cross of their Big Bud, Skunk, and White Widow strains. It's also suppose to be finished by the end of September, and they say this strain can yeild up to 1200gr per plant outdoors. Again I'd be happy with 5 or 6 oz per plant. Im also thinking of getting some autoflowers for as a early harvest. Some of the strains I was looking at say that they can be grown outdoors from start to finish in 10 weeks. Im just curious what they would yeild, there's not alot of places for buds on a plant thats only 2ft tall. I cant see the point of spending that much for beans that are only gonna sprout 5 or 6 grams. Do any of you guys have experience with any autoflowers or the other strains Im going with this year? Any advice is welcomed even if it's that my strains are trash.. Also do any of you guys know where I can get my hands on pure worm castings?

hic, you out there bro?

echo echo echo !!!!!!!!

I think he got booted off from that negative thread he started where he was arguing with a lot of people saying a bunch of illegal stuff and saying how he can grow pounds for 5 bucks._ saying everyone else is stupid for not growing illegally...

i pm him yesterday and it went thru....i dont think it would if he was banned. plus it would say it near his name somewhere i think.

hic would never say anything that would upset anyone LOL not meaning to anyway

SPRING IS COMMING But not soon enough

Hell no I don't mind, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Do you mean that you run your 1000w vertical in the middle of the grow space and rotate your plants?

we bought a 8 bag set on E-bay for 60.00 worked great. They were from max tool

Nice, I see them with 1 gallon bags. Contemplating a 5 bag set of 5 gallon or an 8 bag set of 1 gallon. Hmmmmmm. Anyone use a 5 bag set?

Dont get the one gallon... same amount of work for less product. Trust me. I got a 3 bag 5 gal that works fine. You will stir for 3 hours and get a gram or 2..

That's exactly what I was thinking, thanks Dank! I'm going with the 5 bag, 5 gallon.
