My First Grow.. How am I doing ..?

countrypickle · Aug 6, 2012

This is my first grow,and I have been reading and studying like crazy through these forums.
I would love any feedback you may have and also any suggestions .
These were transplanted outside in first week of June..Hairs are forming now, and I am wondering if theres is anything I can do to help this process along in the flowering stage. I am using Magic Bloom for the flowering stage( generic brand from our area) and wonder if theres anything else I should be using instead.
Thanks in advance for ANY comments or suggestions ( good or bad) you could throw my way...for a newbie I gotta learn it all ... lol

is ther any reason why they are in small pots and not in the ground ?

when they first got set where they were... it wasnt planned on a permanent place...I only had certain time limits available back then to plan ( work took me away a lot then )...and it was last min decision to go at it this yr. they seemed to like location there but I was nervous about it.I tried to dig the soil up and check the ground but there used to be a gas station/garage on the old property about 20 yrs...motor oil/gas/ etc leaked in soil over yrs.better safe than sorry so left em in buckets..rather little less yield than motor oil killed babies.

yea ok .. I can understand that .. a +20 gallon pot/bucket next year will do wonders Im sure ..

and I guess your Magic Bloom will be just fine ..

tho if you have some black strap molesses sirup at home or can get it (its cheap) I would ..

will help your soils micro life and your buds .. a ts per gallon when you water .. delute it in a cup of boiling water fist then add it to a can/bottel ..

beside the sugar carps that help the micro life it also have a lot of trace elements in it .. like magnesium .. caluim .. phosphorous .. iron aso.

how many are there? looks like 4? so some are planted in the ground some arent?

I like the ground cover, seems pretty secure from prying eyes

you could dig a much bigger hole then you need and fill it with good soil.

Thanks for comments, yeah bigger pots next yr for sure... and I have some molasses here so I will add next time to watering. thnks
There are only 4 plants Zubey... I dont want to push my luck with too many...just want a simple supply for myself nothing else...the money I save buying it all year will make up the difference

None are in ground...just seems that way from the grass growing up around the pots ...I prefer that a bit to help hide the white bucket lol
Aloha Kid ... yeah another reason I chose this site as a temp... but it wound up being good location ..it was the battle with the bugs tho that was hardest... a lot more insects in this type area.. but well worth the battle I am hoping .

To keep these girlies from getting any taller.. I am thinking of tying a brick to the top colas and bending them down ..I hear during flowering they can double in size..and that would have me a little nervous they almost 4 feet tall now ... With a guess ball park figure ...how much you figure these plants will grow for me ( in final weight ..buds ) .. I know its too early to tell ..but doesnt hurt to play guessing game..when its all done I will report back final tally.

smokekeeper... I was going to but when I dug into soil there it was all hard rock and smelled of gas/oil.. as I said used to be a garage there so figure with rain seepage.. y risk it..

smokekeeper · Aug 6, 2012

yeah, I wouldn't want to dig hard earth either. it's a pain in the ass. but I get your point

My First Grow.. How am I doing ..?
