The Grow Must Go ON

Hello I'm OldPork and you all are invited to share in my 2015 outdoor guerrilla grow. I've started about 36 plants, mostly OG type strains. They're loaded into my "ganja cage" which I built several years ago to protect my babies from deer, groundhogs, squirrels and coons while they are small. The cage base is 2ftx6ft and 3 ft tall, covered with chicken wire and padlocked.
When they get bigger some of these plants will be moved into swamp tubes and the rest will be distributed between two other sites. But for the next couple of weeks they will remain in the cage.
Anyway glad you are along for the ride, however bumpy it may be. I'm here to have a little fun. I'm a no hate sort of guy, I don't like receiving it and I don't dish it out, so I hope you all will respect that and be cool when posting in here. Everyone is welcome.

Hey!!! I'm so glad to have found you here! I started a journal here too. We'll have to catch up. For anyone just meeting Old Pork, he is one of the most entertaining and down to earth growers I know. A legend among my friends for his yearly guerilla grow and funny antics. It's going to be a fun season.

Subbed, will be performing my first grow, need all the advice

Digging the cage, I've lost one to many to deer.. Moved inside haha

Well now what a nice surprise. Such flattery from a legend in her own right...and the prettiest hands in the world...how's that lil Violet? Best wishes to you this year my sister. Can you give me a link to your grow?

Glad to see I can still follow.

Violet is doing great. My two youngest have a bad stomach bug right now but in general they are all doing great. We just got done fighting the county for our right to continue growing here, so I'm celebrating that win. Here's the link. I'm running some Ken's GDP, Alien OG, Holy Grail, Headband, Sour D, Deadhead, Banana OG, then Golden Gun and Spaceballs are which are both strains from Hillbilly.

I'm starting to think maybe we should have posted our grows in the outdoor section. It seems to be all indoor growers in the journals. Oops.

You guys can still do it.

Thought of that too Mama, I may move mine.

Made it out to the swamp today and loaded up eight tubes with soil mix. I have an old wheelbarrow out there stashed in the woods and got new rubber hip boots which I doubt will last me the season. I dumped an extra cup of lime at the bottom of the tubes to buffer any swamp acidity. My mix contains PROMIX-BX as a base, then I add lime, bone and blood meals and 20% worm castings. I'll let it mellow in the tubes and wick up some moisture and plant about 2 weeks from now.

Jeesh! Look at the growth in just one week compare to the pic in my first post...They are already outgrowing the cage!!

Lookin fine as expected brother! Little bird said I could find you over here, glad I did. It's been a total fuck all of starts for me so far with the first round of sprouts eaten up along with a dozen tomatoe infants...reckon it was a mouse? Second round were both duds, first time for everything I suppose and now I'm down to the last two feminized seeds in my envelope and I've got fingers crossed on both hands. If they turn out it'll be a blue widow and pineapple skunk buzz to carry me through the long stoned winter. Wishing you and yours the best of weather.

Damn Carlsbarn, maybe a mouse or a bird nailed ya. I have the opposite problem. Turns out, due to circumstances, that one of my grow spots is going to be unavailable this year, and I was planning on putting about 10 plants in there that now need a home. So seriously wish you were here so I could let you have them. Are you anywhere near me? Definitely still early in the season so don't count yourself out.

Based on your experience, what's the latest to start outdoors? First timer here and plan to scout an area out this weekend. My plants I have are currently in small pots.

I would say you're in great shape if you have them in pots. But it all depends on soil type in your neck of the woods, and how much rain you get. In my area, east coast, red clay, I keep them in pots until the heavy spring rains pass. Had too many drown in standing water and learned the hard way to wait till those heavy long rains pass. So I would say June 1 or after is a good time to transplant in the ground, unless of course you have soil that drains well. Around here the red clay tends to hold water and does not drain readily. My plants are pretty big and pot bound by then and they can handle rain better.
But to get to the point and answer your question, I would say you can transplant from pots to ground as late as July 1 and still get a decent little harvest.
