Growing monsters

Looks great! That's going to be one dense jungle. I hope you'll keep posting pictures throughout the season.

Seems like most people use that kind of plastic, I even see something similar on commercial greenhouses. You can really see in your pictures how much light it cuts, although I've read articles that report that diffused light can be better for (some) plants. I can't use that kind of plastic on my structure because I only get 6-7 hours of direct sunlight per day, so I need it unfiltered. Seems like locations that get full sun morning to night can grow great plants with it, I'm sure yours will be awesome.
They’re only under that plastic when it rains. My new greenhouse is less defused. The plastic on one in pictures is just some plastic i had laying around and it was going to rain, so i put it on.

when did you pop them, and have you been topping?
Looking to improve my own outdoor game. They look great!
Not sure if you’re asking me or someone else with a monster. But I started them end of December because I wasn’t happy with size last season. Need to trim off some of the inner branches so energy isn’t wasted growing little branches that’ll never get good light. FIMM the shit out of them too, throughout veg. If from seed, I’d top more but i feel FIMMing is better for clones

Same man,started mine in February. That’s how you make monsters trim all that little bullshit early you’ll be happy you did.

Wow those look absolutely gorgeous! What was the yield off those?
The Chinook Haze yielded just under 3 lbs. Way more than I could ever use...been giving away lots. I ended up with just under 10 lbs. total. I think with more afternoon sunlight and better topping/training techniques, plus more space between plants, I probably could get a lot more. But honestly, what would I do with all that? I've been trying to connect with veterans to give a bunch away but not had much luck so far...I would've thought they'd be all over it, lot of older vets on fixed income can't afford the dispensaries. Will keep trying.

You should bubble hash it and then heat press it. You’d have your yearly supply of Rosin!

So here’s a little technique that I use to get the girls THICC
I didn’t develop it just sharing it
Triacanatrol ( I’m sure I’m spelling this wrong .. I just call it Tria)

1 part wood ash ( collect it from your wood stove in the winter or you can buy palm ash .. ask for it by name at your hydro store , via spare time supply distribution)

one part organic alfalfa meal ( buy it at hydro store or a feed store ) it looks like green meal. C2CBBCCC-C263-4EDD-9084-9B439DF9FB1F.jpeg

Get a 30 gallon trash can and add 8 lbs wood ash
Plus 8 lbs alfalfa meal plus 2 cups of blackstrap molasses or hi brix molasses. Fill with 20 gallons of H20

stir it up andF0AF55B6-A07E-430F-A74B-E2E7782748ED.jpeg let

sit for 24-72 hours in the shade depending on the heat .. the hotter it is the less time it takes.

looks
Like this ^^. Then stain using a colander .. the sludge in the bottom is perfect to feed your worm bin or just dump it as compost .. it will clog a sump
Pump though so definitely strain your tria mixture .
It should be a greenish watery concentrate .

dilute at 15 gallons of Tria concentrate per 100 gallons of water .. add 1 cups Epsom salt ( Mg sulfate crystals ) and 2 cup fish hydrolysate into the tank ..
This recipe makes 120 gallons of fertilizer. Scale up or down accordingly as needed ..mix well and feed in early AM ..

natural PGR which will cause the girls to react with vigorous growth .
I’ll post some ganja pics at some point I haven’t taken any recent photos in a couple weeks they are now all rooted and starting to get some size to them .
