LA Con and Critical + outdoors

Hey guys, this my 2nd and a half grow I guess (almost done the 2nd one), I've had 2 Critical + and 1 LA con vegging for a bit inside, they are roughly 2.5 feet tall.

I'll be growing them using pro-mix in 55 gallon barrels that have been cut in half, so you do the math.

This being my first outdoor grow, I'm just wondering how big I should expect these plants to get by harvest (considering they are already 2.5 feet tall). I don't plan on training or topping them since I don't really have much experience in that.

Should I expect a pound or more per plant or is that unrealistic? I've searched it's just hard to find clear answers with these plants and pot size.

Thanks and obviously I'm new to this so any suggestions would be great.

I'd expect pretty nice size plants with that amount of substrate granted, of course, they are getting adequate sun, water, nutes, etc. What size containers are they in now? Pics?

Nice man im growing 15 la confedential and 5 Og Kush there vegging ondoors until may nice mold rezistant strain got a pallet of ffof 40 bags gonna put each one in a 20 gal hole and make seperate green houses or a big one for when fall comes to keep the moisture off hoping for 10 pounds we will see

Here's one of the Criticals, they pretty much all look the same. It's surrounded by tree's but it gets direct sunlight.

I tried blending it in.

The LA Con has grown pretty much fuck all since it's been outside, I took quite a few cuttings off of it before transplanting and putting it outside and then topped it a week after. It looks healthy but it isn't growing, the two Critical +'s are both growing decently (one of them topped).

I have been pretty light on the nutes except for this last two weeks or so they've been getting 20/20/20

Why has the growth stalled?

Are you in the jungle lol

Pretty much, now I know what the people went through when making the Panama canal. But really, I'm just in the NW and that's part of the property.

Nice ferns.

id try training them, its really not hard, i believe yield will be good either way, good luck

I topped 2/3 of them.

I'm really considering ripping the stalled LA con out of the big barrels and throwing something else in it, I already have multiple root bound plants that are quite a bit bigger and in 1 gallon pots.

Just planted two Aghans directly in the ground, partially to test it out and then partially because I was cheap and didn't want to go buy another 2 bales of pro mix.

I plan on just top dressing them with something soon, not sure what though.

Another 10 or so Criticals are almost ready to go outside as well.

I bought a light meter off Ebay with a 0-200,000 lumen range, so I will see how much light these ladies are getting throughout the day.

new stuff is en route, a pack of Apollo 13 x Vortex as well as Querkle, Chernobyl promotion and a bunch of auto's all from attitude. The auto's I ordered (not including the attitude freebies) are [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Short Stuff Seeds Blue Himalaya Diesel and Blue Himalaya. [/FONT]

I'm going to start the auto's inside, but at what size should I move them outside?

At around 3 weeks when they show sex. If you are growing them in buckets start them directly in the buckets if you have the space. 3 gallon minimum.

One of my criticals is smelling DANK and the stems are really crystally and it's still in veg (obviously since it's outdoor). It's in the 25 gallon ish pot right now, but should I have the option of digging it into the ground and adding 2-3 more bags of pro-mix, how much will it add to my yield do you guys think by adding another 50 gallons or so of soil and putting it in the ground?

Right now it's about 6 feet tall and 4 feet in diameter.
