Holy shit boys...you guys were correct. Before and after I finished the transplant they were all drooping and sad looking. It's been a few hours. They are all perky already!

Thanks for the motivation gang (Rob Roy and Thumper). You fellas are swell. This has added a whole new dimension to my grow. Cant wait to see what they do next! They could possibly get huge now Im assuming?

I never knew stalks where so bragged about! Mine are Lolly popped this year so they are growing different but still impressive.
They're all tall as I am now some taller!! Bugs are awful on my buds making me a little cranky. Tarnish bettle love new growth and that's my buds starting.
Candy Kush is still going strong me and the mister can't wrap our arms around her anymore
Buds are starting to take form

Not bad with getting things in late and having 40 degree night ask through July
That split stem in gnarly looking. Good to see it didn't hurt your girl. Too cool. :mrgreen:

What’s going on folks little update for everyone.

I had some ph issues along with a nitrogen deficiency on most of the plants. Been hauling in 15 gallons of water twice a week to water these ladies. I first dug two 2x2x2 holes in the ground. I’m growing in a marsh so the ground is very wet. I was using that water for a month or so I even PhD the ground water it was a little high 7.2 but once I added the fish emulsion the ph went down to 6.2-6.5 . Idk if there was a bacteria in the water or something but the plants did not like it lol. Gotta come up with another way of sourcing water if anyone has any opinions...

happy growing everyone

Yeah I've only grown Green Thumb outside. But where I live on the coast they do very well very resistant at least the strains I have grown. But have never tried them inside. Don't really grow inside actually. by the way I thumper your garden looks really impressive.

Yeah I've only grown dr. Greenthumb strains outside. But where I live on the coast they do extremely well seem to be very resistant to pests and mold at least the ones I've run. But I've never tried them inside actually don't really grow inside. Looking to start but a little worried about the cost. By the way Thumper pretty impressive Garden.

I didn't see any Purple Loosetrife in your photos, invasive in marshy areas.It's roots put toxins in the soil and into water its roots are in.

If you see Cat Tails disappearing, it's probably Loosestrife, nasty stuff. You got Cat Tails still, good news. Everything else is regular bog plants.
Look for sand on the edge of the boggy or on the rise above the plants and dig a sump hole and line it with rocks for a dip hole. If you do it uphill, you can set up a siphon hose to get it moving and cover it .

Don’t have any loosestrife around my around thank goodness. But I do have a bunch of pine trees surrounding the area which I’m sure has leached into the ground.

Oh man, whole thing was done that day. Cleared a 10x12 area, fenced it with posts and 7ft steel deer fence, and had them transplanted in 3 hours. Was an epic day.

Cant wait to see how they like it.

Do you feed plants in the ground the same way as in pots? What's the SOP for that if Im using nutes that go in the water I give them?

Haha... yes! The size of the trunk almost always directly relates to root mass and plant size/yield.
They are looking very good and healthy! Great job

You ask good questions and you're gonna be fine, btw. I can sense it.

What are you feeding them now and where are they planted now, then become the questions, since different feeding schemes abound depending on circumstances.

Some plants are set up to feed from the living soil, so in that sense you feed the soil and it, in turn, allows the plants to feed from it. Lots of advantages here, but it can take awhile to get your soil to that point. Some people prefer not to add "chemical ferts" to a living soil, since the organic micro beasties might all hop in their micro buses and flee the scene.

Some water soluble fertilizers say like a Jack's Classic are pretty much add water and go. If I were using that or something like it, I'd use a very light concentration more frequently and try to keep them green, but not "blue green". Start with a little, it's easier to up the concentration than deal with toasted nute burned plants. Your plants will tell you when they're hungry.

I prefer hand feeding, using a 5 gallon pail of diluted Neptunes fish/seaweed as the primary feed and then start tossing in some guano solutions as each girl starts flowering in earnest. I'm in containers, ranging from 7 - 100 ish gallons depending on the strain. When I fill the pots I usually give them some bone meal, blood meal and / or some espoma or coast of maine dry ferts sprinkled throughout the containers.

If I were guerilla growing in the ground, I'd probably go with a time release pellet fertilizer. Feeding them organic amendments (bone meal, blood meal ) can be asking for dig ups from hungry critters. Also the fewer times you have to visit guerilla plants, the better.

So, what have you been feeding them and are your plants happy with it ? :-)

Thanks! I hope so! And I really appreciate all the info.

When they were in pots I was giving them Happy Frog Tomato and veg Nutes. It's 7-4-5, top dressing, once a month. Then every 3rd watering or so in between feedings I'd give them some Alaskan fish emulsion stuff if it looked like they needed it. That worked great. Perfectly green, with a hint of tip burn on the older low down inside growth. Everything else was hyper green with some neon green at the bud sites (good I'm guessing?)

I dont have a flower nutes program worked out yet for the ones in the ground. I'd like to maximize three priorities for whatever nutes I use...cost effective, easy to administer (mixed into their water once a week if possible or something easier than that, I'm open to ideas), and obviously good results.

I know that you cant have everything, but I'd like something that balances out all those things while not costing a ton of money. I dont have a preference for organic or synthetic. I already have some beastie blooms that I plan on using in the last 2 or 3 weeks before harvest. Only because I bought it last year and have most of it left. Haven't decided on flushing or not yet. And they are currently right on the edge of starting to flower.

Any advice or info, as always, is welcome and very appreciated!

Sounds like you're giving your girls the love they need and they've done great with your veg feeding plan.

If you prefer right out of the bottle bloom ferts, Fox Farm bloom has bat guano and worm castings in a concentrated bottle and it's easy to administer in liguid form. About $15 to $25 per bottle. Some people feed heavy once a week and some people feed a little more frequently. I'm a fan of a little more frequently or sometimes only when the plants asks for it, but that's just me.

Or you could grab a bag of dry worm castings and a bag of dry bat guano and wander around the internet (and this website) and see how others mix it and apply it. A future goal might be to use or create soil that worms like to call home. They'll shit in your soil and if they're really happy they'll make babies too. A little compost and rabbit droppings in there and the worms will hang around shitting and fucking and your plants will love it.

If you don't mind "chemicals" Jack's Classic is pretty easy (and inexpensive) and has a lot of people that swear by it.
Lot's of other choices too, I can't keep up with all the products available now. Maybe others will chime in with their bloom plans?

Anyway, keep up the good work.

That is awesome advice. Thanks! Really good stuff.

So far it sounds like the fox farm bottles will be the way to go. I like the idea of spreading out the feedings and then eating when I water them. That sounds like a good fit for my situation.

Thanks again!

I've looked into Jack's 10-30-20 Blossom Booster, and I think that's the answer actually. Super simple, super cheap, and from what Im reading, you weren't kidding about the love this stuff gets.
