Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

growing white lightning indoors, indica outdoors... the indicas were started indoors, in fact, they're still there. I plan on taking them out this week (hopefully).... but I'm in the urban world, need to gorilla something up. These babies are already beasts, they're gonna be enormous... any suggestions on the gorilla - ing of them in the city?

One of my alaskans in a cornfield..looks to me like the soil is starting to turn it a lighter green, I thought the dirt here looked pretty good but it is a little off.

I went out and checked on the kids today and all was well. It didn't appear that any animals were attracted by the Alaska fish fertilizer I used last time so I gave them another dose today. I took a few pics with my crappy cell camera. I know they aren't going to be giants come harvest time but I should do ok.

Thats a nice looking girl in that pic hic.

UPDATE
2 Joint reward for the fuckin deer that ate 2 of my girls and topped one
Others are doin good one spot the trees have shaded some what but will have to do for this year
Lemon skunk and Iranian are 4' tall and the lemon skunk is a bush3' wide
How are the rest of you doin

Sorry to hear about the deer Dave. I'll keep an eye out for the fucker.
Everything is going good with me. You must have missed my posts right before yours. I got a few pics on there. Check em out.

Hey Dave just shot that deer,yea he was more stoned then I was when I got em...that iranian must be some fire pm me so we can get square.

Thanks for the pics pothead, I really like seeing michigan plants. I wish I could get away with using fish emulsion,I know the finished product just is not the same with miricale grow. I am happy to hear the creatures stayed away. Well boys we are past the solstice, here in michigan this is about the point when the plants start kickin it in overdrive and the will be getting big real quick!!

I know I found this a little late but the main problem I see here as i'm an outdoor MI grower (and have been for quite some time) is ppl picking strains and not bothering to check when they finish...basicly in MI you cant grow sativa dominate strains or 100% sativas they will NEVER finish outside. You need to choose a plant that finishes sept 15th to oct 1st..you'll also want to look for strains from seed companys from place like holland or spain where the climate is like ours..by the time sept rolls around its getting wet and cold which will cause bud rot in a matter of days...Also if you want more than a few oz off your plants you need to start them in feb-march and plant outside a week or so after mothers day (may 10th), the last frost is usually the around then..one of the first posts said to plant june 21st which is bs unless you want small 2 oz plants, but why take the chance unless your going to come out big...

I'm growing all great white shark from greenhouse, finishes end of sept, yeild up to 800g a plant (havent had it yet but this year looks VERY promising with my 7.5 ft trees) my seeds popped march 10th and the plants went outside may 12th being about 1.5-2 ft depending on the plant, I have 18 outdoors all of which are 6-7.5ft and very bushy. The biggest is 7.5 ft tall and 3-4 ft wide, with atleast another month of veg before flowering starts so it's safe to say we might hit the 800 gram mark. I'm using advanced nute's full line of heavy harvest (spring, summer, fall) piranha, tarantula, voodoo juice, carboload, big bud, and bud igniter..fight bugs and mold with safers 3-in-1. I pre dug my holes a month ahead of time and backfilled them with 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 native soil. Most the plants were LST'd to keep them short and bushy and I quit doing that about a month ago to just let them do their thing from here on out.

these pictures are from 2 weeks ago just a quick peek

Welcome Klo$etbreeder
Your not to late to join us but please dont be so rude as to say its BS as everyone has there own opinion of what to do.
All info is welcome some good some not so good as far as I know there is not one way to grow and what works for some will not work for others.
As for me Im growing in north centeral MI and early May it is very risky to plant due to frost we had the last frost the 3 week of May
So Please stay with us but play nice
Happy Growing
Green Dave

Those are some real nice looking plants KB.It would have been nice to start mine early, Unfortunately my living situation this past year prevented me from starting mine indoors any earlier than the last week in may. I know my harvest prly wont be huge this year but it's something. This hobby of ours is learning process every step of the way. We all refine our process based on those lessons. Next year I will definately start them indoors alot earlier than the middle of May.

Nice plants klosetbreeder. Good Luck! oh and welcome the michiganders part of the forum!

Hope those deer had enough of my girls
Hate for them to be there all stoned and have to shoot them on the spot no questions asked

I hope the deer stay away too dave! well boys just seeing whats goin down. I took a pic of my trainwreck,man does this plant grow outta control "the strain no man could tame" The crappy thing is I only have one,and is the only plant still without a preflower. This by chance could be the most interesting strain for me yet. Every growth seems to become a stem and the smell on the stem is something I cannot relate anything too. I already know that if this plant turns hermie I will still order 5 or 10 from greenhouse for next yer and give it another shot with a larger fleet! and if it don't turn hermie I will be one happy s.o.b. and I might order 15 of em!

I think I will gave Trainwreck a go next year myself. I've heard alot of good things about that strain. Nice lookin plant hic...

well I tell ya what I will give a smoke report when it is done, unless hermi. on the other hand I have yet too see a grow of trainwreck outdoor in michigan on the forums. I have a small concern of it being able to finish in time. Looks real sativa like to me. Although I have read reports of it finishing elsewhere without a problem, so it is a small concern.

Good luck with the Trainwreck
I am hoping my Blueberry skunk and Jilly Bean finish
I am also hoping for good smoke out of the Irainian G13 I know that will finish as it is said to finish in August

Hey Guys
Any updates from the weekend ?
Its been HOT AND HUMID here been hard to keep the cabnits cool, Had to break down and turn the AC on but cooler temps on the way but going bakk up to high 80s.
Lets here about your girls

Well all is well here, that trainwreck still has not a single preflower? While most plants are now showing many preflowers. I am so glad that most my plants only have a few more weeks of veg until flowering begins for 2 reasons, one would be I wanna smoke em already and two, they are getting too big! I will be pushing the secuirity of my spots too the max! Not good when one of my hashberry's is too tall for me to top and it sure as hell ain't lanky she has alot of sun and alot on her.

Too a point I am happy with the main theme of this year was for monsters.. I hate that gorilla crap, I yeild just as much off one plant that I take care of, rather then throwing 15 clones in the ground and wishing them the best of luck.

Theif season will begin shortly and some of us will be losing out, Never plant em all in one hole is all I can tell ya if you get hit. So in all reality it is still very much a number game here for me. This next week I am going around with strait water to clean my soil up before the bigger feedings of nutes, I will probly only use miricale grow one more time on all of em, around next weekend and August 1st use the bloom ferts.

Well if you got plants still, you survived the deer and the snail assualt! Now we move on to the stage that is just as severe as the last one.. theives, helicopters,and cops thats the next wave for me.. good luck boys

Well due to the lack of rain we have been getting where I am at. I spent most of sunday watering. I will tell you every year I learn something this year I have learnt that 4gallons of water in a backpack and 2gallons in each hand is one hell of a hard time. I am seriously thinking about employing a blind kid next year to help haul water.. All I want is a 12 hour day of solid steady rain. Here north of gr a bit we have not had the rain. We are getting enough to keep them alive but not strive.
