Alright im getting my super soil mix next weekend to go fill in my holes which are 3x5 i got 10 dug up so far for 5 himililayan golds, and 5 alaskan ices. My idea is to put them in pots with the neccesary nutrients they need for veg..
Their gonna veg in 25 gallon pots do you think this is enough to grow huge plants??
When their done vegging i want to transplant them into the new soil that has its own supper soil for flowering, is this a smart idea or will their be to much of burning??

Vegetative growth in 25 gallon pots? A little overkill don't you think bro? A five gallon bucket with a few holes drilled at the bottom would suffice. When you say burning do you mean nute burn, or just a pain in the ass to transplant? But I personally feel your wasting money on such large pots in the begining stages. Your Pre dug holes with flowering mix already in them... bit early in the season to worry about flowering... I use Phos. spikes when its flowering time. Its cheaper and pretty damn effective. But with the current idea your floating you will have some monsters on your hands lol

ahahahha yea i think it may be a little over kill but the spot i has will be great for may june and july when its recieving all that sunlight,its going to be in the sun mostly from an hour 2 from sunrise to an hour or 2 from sunset.I plan on transplanting around the end of july so the soil is well prepared for my big friends. My only problem is i want to do some tieing down but dont want to dig hole to match the height its just way to much digging imo. Im also thinking of planting each 5 in different spots with there own 55 gallon drip irrigation to keep trips to a minimum. I live in the north eastern area below Nh and massachusets, will these monsters be ok to harvest or will the cold get to them if im starting them in a week or 2??

As far as your monsters getting frost bitten, you know the weathers a crap shoot.
I was wondering how you were planning on triggering the flowers so they'd finish before the cold nights begin anew.
It's ALWAYS something!

ahhhhhh yes i no i hate the weather hear... Im honestly relying on luck with that factor:wall: I really dont know if im going to make the cut on timing, i also dont feel like maintaning a greenhouse for the entire flowering period. The description on these strains are 9 weeks so im only using that to think of how long they will take. What would you suggest if i actually want to finish them by the end of september??

alrightttt now that ive figured out how much work this is gonna be im thinking of just going with 5 monsters... I want to induce flowering around the end of july so i can harvest before first frost gets here. My plan is to plant them in 45 gallon garage containers, bury them in the ground, cover the pot with red mulch liner then put some leaves mayb field grass over them. Then when mid summer comes around i want to put a greenhouse over them(a temporary that i can cover on and off). Would this be easy to detect, i know that mostly news and other traffic helicopters fly over the area, not to worried about police helicopters because its a very populated area with few woods. Well anyways im thinking of constructing the greenhouse in a way that i can easily put it up so i can just put the cover over it for 2 or 3 hours. I need help with the desighn because i want it to be up only for that time frame and then put it back down once that periods done(all quickly to avoid being seen from above just incase). Then when thats up i will throw a military camo net over it to cover it completely. Will this look obvious from above or will the net blend it in nicely?? any other ideas on a similar set up thats realistic would be highly apreciated:-o
