hey ele thanks forthe comment good luck to you... aswell. seattle is right below me so i know what havey rainfall is aswell. i play paintball so i have a big camp stroller bag and people know i play paintball around here so they always assume im just going into the woods for some fun so ill throw my 2 30Litre brags into it and ill throw all my plants into a tuberware container... and as for mounties lol lets just say there office is only 1000 meters away lol. but they'll never catch me unless theres a chopper in the sky but i can hear them before i see then so i can retreat to thicker bush till its gone. and ill be planting them on a tree line and they should probly get a good 8 hours of direct sunlight if not more... cheers and good luck

no your the man! lol and to protect my plants from slugs and shit i figure cut the top and bottom off a 2L pop bottle and put it around thhe plant...

on your pop bottle idea... maybe cut only the bottom and leave the cap end intact. poke large holes in the side, remove the cap and trench the cut end into the ground around the plant, creating a breathable make shift "cage" to keep critters out. might also work as a humidity dome. plant gets tall enough to fend for itself, take it off... but it would never get the breeze to strengthen it....

maybe just ignore this whole comment altogether and do what you do best... kicking ass.

Day 20 / May 29 / 2009 - Sprouts

Pics 1-4: heres the area before i cleared it, its all tall grass and shrubbs where my plants with get 10+ hours of direct sunlight :D

Pics 5-6: heres how i got the kidds down there, i was trying to be sneaky...

Pics 7-11: yah put a camo jacket over my white soil bags as i worked. 10-11 were grassy areas a macheted to death so i could spread my pots out...

Pics 12-14: heres what i had to do because i was dumb, i used some original forest soil its like a mix of peat moss and compost it really rich no pine trees so i shouldnt be too acidic, filled them about half way then put black earth bag mix onto sort of mixed it aroun but not to much.

Pics 15: heres the roots system of 1 of the glads it was pretty much the same idea for all of them.

Pics 16-17: here a group photo, yes i know theres only 8 the second half are all purple pine berry where ill have to put those in some dencer forest because if i were to put those out in the field they'd stick out like a black person at a kkk convention(im not a racist)

Pic 18: heres the final 9 purple pine berry that will be going out sometime this weekend when i get more pots. and soil.

this was all done yesterday i went to check on them this morning and they seem to be doing great! I also gave them lots of water and a dose of 5-1-1 fish emulsion...

:shocked: my jaw is still dropped. decent response in 5..4..3..2..1! Those look nice man! haha its amazing what natural sunlight does for growth!!
As far as the mystery topping is concerned, you have to keep in mind, those plants are outside... in the WILD man!! There is any number of explanations as to why a plant mysteriously topped... Most probable IMO wildlife came by and nipped at it, or a bug crawled up and snacked down on your top.

My advice though, growing outdoors? Don't top, the height colas get from natural sun is ridiculous, all that height later translates into weight. Of course, never grown outdoors, and never topped a plant outdoors, possible two colas would grow like crazy outdoors! Why miss out on that??

I often wonder if my posts are useful.. haha!! i present one set of thoughts, immediately contradicted by another. Too much herb tonight... or not enough?

:peace: and :hump:
