THELOADEDDRAGON'S 2009 Outdoor

well for just giving babies your mothers look fine haha ... and so are their kids ... and damn... that's alot of soil lol ... fertilizer is what gets expensive for me since most of my soil was given to me haha

yeah, I was a little disappointed at the price, but it was the cheapest I could find without assembling the ingredients myself (which I might do anyways, just cuz it would be free). If you look at the lower portion of the Purple Kush you can see she is sad. I am going to give her SuperThrive tomorrow, and veg nutes a couple days after that. Nothing for the Sensi baby until I take 30 or so clones (accept some Thrive Alive B1, 1-1-1) . Trimming babies today to slow down transpiration...

i have a bottle of superthrive,but i dont realy know how much to use or how to use it .. i kinda jus got it because it looked like it would do work lol. how much do u use and when should i b using it?

There are tons of varieties of nutrients out there, it is up to you. Typically when you are growing outdoors, if you have prepped your earth with good amendments etc, your going to want to make organic compost teas. Since I am growing in pots, I will be using Fox Farms grow big and earth juice during vegg (I won't start feeding nutrients until after they have been in their pots for about 20 days), and then switching to a few different blooming nutrients depending on what I decide to get when I buy them. Fox Farms Tiger Bloom, Bio bloom, Big Bud, and tiny bit of Superthrive (2 drops per gallon every other feeding!, mixed in with a post light watering, not the actual nutrient solution). You can buy online, local nurseries, etc.
Take your time to learn the proper steps, and make your decisions based on what you learn, other peoples successes and mistakes, and what the plants "tell" you they need, and you will do just fine, .

damm you like to dig! well that looks like a lot of work.. it should pay off nicely.

your moms looks great btw. good luck...

yeah fox farm is a good blend of nutes ... i used their trio last year ... I'm gonna use the grow big and tiger bloom for my lowryders ... but im going AN for my large plants

thanks for the information pimps it helps alot. very much appreciated

I'm gonna watch this!

Im going to start putting plants out for a few hours a day in about a week, this is a method called "hardening off".... then they will go out in the sun all day, then all day.... but for now the cuttings are doing really well. I am going to transplant them into 1/2 gal. pots on Tuesday, and start putting them outside next weekend, starting for half hour periods and gradually building. I won't be giving them any nutrients for another two and a half weeks. I expect them to go into five gallon pots by mid may, and may end up transplanting them again in mid to late June to 15 gal pots. I am guessing that the next couple of sets of clones won't need such large plants because they will be quite a bit younger. It seems right now as though everything is timed just about right for everything I want to do... we'll see.

Hopefully you get a good harvest. I put my plant in a big tupperwear tub, 10 or 15 gallons, I'm not sure.She just seemed to want the extra room.

I will get a good harvest, . I have no idea how I am going to trim it all (unless I just have the patients trim some themselves). Hopefully they volunteer and I don't have to ask, because that hasn't come up yet.... sigh.... time to hit the message board...

A sheep shearer, perhaps?

so to harden off your clones you put them out for a few hours in the sun each day? i just put mine in a shady spot outside for 3 days then move to the full sun.

Its because of how soon I am putting them outside after they root and start vegging, and because of extreme weather, primarily heat and wind. I am working on getting something like a rotating set up going.
