Growing in the trees : )

Transplanted my outdoor seedling that was in the ground, into a 18 inch pot today. I made a nice stand up in the trees out of some branches. There was a giant branch shaped like a Y but the limbs were very close together, I just pulled them apart, put pot in it, and slowly let it close back, it holds the pop very securely. Just advice to anyone who is trying to make a treefort type stand for there plant. I will take some pictures of it tomorow if it makes it. I have had very bad success rates with transplants lol. Also I didnt have enough to fill the whole pot up, so its like 3/4 of the way up, should I buy more of the soil tomorow, and some superthrive, and transplant it again? Or just leave it? Only bad things about it being so low, is It wont get quite as much sunlight as if the whole thing was above the pot, also I spray painted the pot green to camo it, but the inside is white, becuase I planned on filling it up with soil, but since it isnt all the way full, you can see the white. From a copter this might be very obvious, I stuck some leafs of nearby bushes ontop of the soil, to camo it a bit better but I still feel uneasy. Another thing is, since the very bottom of the stalk in is the pot, it would get sheiled from winds, however the top would not, I think this would make the top of the stalk much thicker then the bottom, not sure what kind of longterm effects this would have. I'll get some pictures for your guys tomorow. Any suggestions would be more then appreciated, even if its just a stupid idea, I still want to here it.

Also if you have done a treetop grow, how were results? and can you give me any more camo advice?

Thanks guys : )
 
ive thought about trying to grow 1 in a tree lately. but then i remembered that im too damn lazy to climb a fkn tree so i tossed it in the bin with my other stupid ideas. but to each their own so good luck my friend
 
Imagine the man rolling up on your while your climbing a tree...nah I'm just kidding. We get paranoid cause we are stoners. I've seen people grow the shit right in their backyard. I myself have walked by and never seen it till it was pointed out to me. Once that plant get's bigger and the leaves spread out there will be no chance anyone would see that from a chopper. So what if they do, just don't make it a regular thing to go out and check it. If you do insist on checking it out just wear something that covers your face.
 
well interesting store, and may be funny to you guys if your high, or even sober. Went out there today to look at it, and when I got to it, i sat down on the limb its on, and put my hands on it, to look at it, and the whole fking limb snapped... I came crashing down. Luckly I extended my arms, and the when I hit the ground my body and arms coushined the plant, so it didnt get hurt lol. But I may have hyperextended my arm, and possibly did something to my ass. But I climbed another tree, and stuck it up there before coming home. It dosnt look so good after transplant, ill get pictures up sometime, after i go to the Doctor. : (
 
O-My god that is funny!!!!!HAHAHAHA hehehe hack hack choke choke hack hahaha haha ha hehehe

That has to be the f*ckin funniest thing I ever heard on this site.
Your lucky you didn't break your neck and kill your plant..
Better luck this time I hope. Find a thicker branch to use!!!!!!!!

Also I would use some twine/string to secure your pot. The wind can get real bad at times, Better safe than sorry.. It already survived one fall....
 
Yeh I really need to secure it better, but its really hard to do things now, that I can only use my left arm. Typing is hard as well. Atleast I saved the plant however, so I am happy about that, I just hope he survives now, since I took one for him, hopefully I will be able to take some from him. I dont mind if you guys laugh, becuase it is pretty funny now, but when I heard the limb split, I was actually really scared, for the plant and myself. Well I will take new picture of my white widow and purple widow plants, that are in my Grow Journal, and the seedling that is in the tree near them. It will most likely be a far away picture of the one in the tree, becuase I do not think I can climb up there currently. I will tell you what the damages are when I get back from doctor tomorow, if I really did hyperextend my arm, and possibly fracture something in my lower back, Would anyone be interested in a gardening job for a couple weeks? Good pay, and benefits : )
 
Ok well im fine, I guess just a really bad bruise on my elboe, and my ass feels like a permanent charley horse, but no broken bones. I might go out and take some pictures today. Well see. : )
 
Here you guys go, some fresh pictures. About 20 minutes old. Also two of my purple and white widow plants as well. Enjoy. Also I need help with the transplant looks like its going to die, unless I find out whats wrong with it. Its in mg moisture control soil, I soaked it right after I transplanted. Been getting alot of sun, possibly to much. not sure here ya go.


Its up there somewhere... but where!!! :roll:

There you guys go, I gave it a little bit of water today, but the soil felt a little bit moist, but kinda warm. I gave it maybe.. 2 cups, maybe 3. So I dont think I am over watering. Could I be underwatering? It is outside in the sun all day. Should I be watering everyday? flooding it, or just a gallon. i think im going to pick up a moisture meter tomorow. But that might not be the problem.

Here are some pictures of the white widow, and purple widow plants close to the the seedlings hang out in the trees. : )

This picture is zoomed in all the way. The seedling is pretty high up there

And one close up of the purple and white widow : )

There you guys go : ) hope you can help me :mrgreen:
 
hay im a begginer myself... but when i transplant i give them and few days in no sunlight. you no just give the pant a chance to setal. if the soil is still wet then it is probaly not a water thing. and if your going to water offten that must be a hassil climbing up the tree. i put my plants out in the bush and dont want to be going there all the time ... so i put some water crystals (they hold water in them) in with them. maybe you should try them.
GOOD LUCK
 
Thanks for the input tommy, but I picked a tree with very easy access. There is a fallin tree that leads right up to it, almost as if it were made to be : )

I have heard about the water crystals and if It does get hard to get up there, I might give them a try. Iv never heard about giving transplants no light, but perhaps ill try it on my next one.

I just transplanted 2 plants for a friend, they sprung up near his firepit, like mine did a while ago. Funny thing is, the ground is all mulch, then below that is a liner, to prevent " Weeds " lol ironic huh? Somehow the seeds got threw the 5 inches of mulch, and grew on top of the liner, but the roots were having a tough time breaking threw, so I transplanted for him. It went amazing, my best transplant so far, the plant looks perfectly healthy, dosnt seem to be stressed at all. Also the spot it was in, was being shaded, so we moved it to some good soil, and into the light, Hopefully it picks up.

Thanks for the idea tommy : ) Grow on buddy, grow on : )
 
are you sure your not overwatering? are the plants still dieing that way? cause thats how a few of mine looked when they got root rot. im not saying it is but you should let your soil dry out at least 2-3 inches down before watering again. Those are awsome females! when did you put them out? how long do they have left?
 
juice that baby up with superthrive,keep the leaves out of the topsoil cause it will attract more bugs then they already get, dont worry about the top soil now, later on if you want you can mix up some good soil with a lil batguano and top it of during flowering and dont leave the lights off for a couple of days as this might induse flowering and will likely go into shock when reintroduced to veg light again. WW and purp look fantastic, looking foward to the smoke report. details on those would be appreciated
 
Wow guys thanks a bunch for all the input. Well beaner, I only watered it after I transplanted, and havent yet. Today the soil is totally dried out, I stuck my finger down pretty far and its almost completly dried out, so Im going to give it some water.

Yeh I was going to buy some superthrive, but I had to transplant right away so I didnt get any, I kinda regret not getting it now. I will pick some up hopefully today and see how that does.

I will be sure to give you guys a full smoke report. The Purple widow has about a week or two left, the White widow, about 3 weeks, maybe 4. They continue to just get bigger and bigger and bigger, its amazing. That sunshine sure does turn a lady into a woman : )

Thanks guys : )
 
Well the transplant is finally starting to grow again, after a bout a week or two of what looked like a slow paintful death : (

But he looks better, and I saw some new growth on him today.

Also I found 1 seed in my purple widow, not sure how this happened. But interesting to know, I found some bird shit on that exact peice of bud that the seed is on, about 2 weeks ago. weird huh ?
