Looking healthy. any specific strain?

[buckyboy]

Looks like you've been pinching the tops off. I see a lot of bud sites.

[bcgrown]

Getting a little more growth now. :rastasmoke:
sunshine mix #4 with blood/bone meal For starting few weeks of organic feed. Also used a dolomite soil conditioner to prep soil and even out PH and adics in soil. I put about 3 inchs of small gravel at bottom of each hole dug. Now feeding 20-20-20 till Aug Then will start my bloom feed. Strains are Couchlock Black Velvet Kushx some strains from friends to try outdoors and a mix from Vancouver Seed Bank. Most are female from clone and there are a few going from seed. Just pulled out 2 males today. They were about 4 feet tall allready...

Nice pix, enjoying them a great deal---as I aspire to grow that well! When you pinched, did you happen to demostrate it? I read this and think it has been shortened somewhere, but I have read so many and subscribed to few, I am screwed up! :jointsmile:

[bcgrown]

Hey I didnt take any pics of the pinch or topping i did do. But have recently done a little pics doc on "bending" And have some plants on my belcony That i can show and show how its done. CRAZY amount of bud sites by just bending and not having to "top" or "pinch" most the ones in these pics were just left and not many were topped or pinched after put em out from clone. Most are from clones I selected but have another spot with about 30 more from seed that im doing a breeding project with. I will also upload some pics of that spot.:rastasmoke: most the plants are now 3-6 feet tall theres one thats allmost 8 feet tall allready... still got 2 months of veg :P Thank god for the 25 foot bamboos around the spot :D

I remember seeing this thread when you first posted pics and was like, wow. I'm still in aw when I look at all the space and beauty of all your girls. Keep up the good work, you'll most def have a very large wonderful harvest.

man, wish i lived in Canada :postgood: :thumbsup:

[bcgrown]

Hehe thanks. All the work and effort pays off. Just goto be smart about it eh :)

here is a little pic time lapse
June 15 June 28 July 7 sorta same angle

[painretreat]

Been watching and enjoying your hard work and grow. Plus, learning a lot--thanks!! Appreciate all the info you post, for my future outdoor grow. doubt I'll ever know enough, but I'll get a camera first, then learn how to use it and I know where to go for help!
So far, your first grow seems to be going seemless; hope to follow in that wisdom!

[bcgrown]

Yeah its all a learning experince. Can never learn it all and you can pick and choose the info you feel works best for your growing conditions... This isnt my first grow actully. I actully posted my grow last year on here also. This is my 7th outdoor and 5 have made it 1 hasnt "thiefs" hope this year turns out! never had em this big at this time of year... good season so far forsure! Every year i try something new or try a new tech Its good way to increase yield and product quality allways trying new ideas and methods.. you will learn what works best and what doesnt...

Here is some pics of my "bending" tech Works great for keeping plants short and bushy

Belcony plants :rastasmoke:

Eye candy all around! I found some silk worm type bugs eating one of my plants today :\

Neem oil to the rescue!

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

I've never seen bending, it's pretty interesting. so do you just pinch and bend the stem while it's well watered so it doesn't break and/or take your time bending in one certain point until it sticks?(stays bent)

[bcgrown]

Well with the bending I do, I like to pick branches that have got a certain size and have good nodes to pick your bend.
Also pick a hard wood branch soft wood will just snap and die. :mad:

Bend in between the nodes so they are both "exposed" they will then brach up and you can bend those also once they reach that height and "hardwood" and have the nodes you like to pick to branch up. I like to allways bend them away from the center so that the inner center branches get light then and grows up to fill in nice and bushy.

I like to hold the branch in my fingers, then bending it down kinda like fold it over your finger "dont pinch it" VERY gently till the bend makes it go "limp" let it hang from there and let good light and air movement get on the plant from there on... this will heal "thicker stem from that point" it will start to go up "towards light" the inner parts of that branch will now grow out creating more branches "bud sites".
If you do this right you can create alot more bud sites and side branching and "force" them to grow in ways you want. Works great for people growing in shorter spaces also..

Here is how I do it :rastasmoke:

Hope you understand all that haha.. I'm mighty stoned right :wtf: now..

[painretreat]

This is so bitchin! I've read a lot of threads and it seems all feel we know bending, lst, and tying! I am an idiot that needs a good photo to get the message! Your demonstrations are rad! I have to set up a printer to record how to, until I learn! You have no clue how much help you are being! I know it is a lot of work and want you to know how much I appreciate your help-u R a gem! Keep it up and please don't drop off! :thumbsup: I need this info! Not just in growing, but stealth, etc! and how to protect in the outdoor environment.

There is so much reading to do, I may read forever before I try to wet my feet again. I think I said, I put some old bag weed seed to gro and got nothing! I know what went wrong now. Now, I will plan much better and learn through you experts in progress!

I just love looking at how to do it and how healthy you plants are! I have had gardens in the past and just get a buzz from veges (tomato) or anything growing. So, I think this will turn into a hobby, i hope to control within my legal limit. I tend to get carried away with pretty plants! Turns me on! Appreciate your sticking with us and the easy instructions! I need bush more than height, due to fear! I have received a generous dose of err of the side of caution and now am planning much better! Thanks to you and a few others! Please keep it coming, if it isn't too much time and trouble!:thumbsup:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

You are quite the teacher my friend. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to answering my question. Yes that was a perfect/flawless lesson in bending. The pictures say it all, very nice tutorial. I believe it should be made a sticky for further the educating of fellow growers here.

Thank you bcgrown, you have the bending technique down pat lol. I will be sure to use this method in the future.

gmorning

[bcgrown]

Ok sweet glad it was understood.... I had hit a few and wrote that up so I wasnt sure it came out clear.

I am here to share and show grow info/pics :rastasmoke: planetganja and other sites have enough people allready anyways. :jointsmile: We need more action here.

:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: Hope everyone is having a great season so far!

I will do another update around the end of the month, untill then Keep It Green!

:hippy::rastasmoke:

[painretreat]

Thanks a lot and please keep it coming! Hopefully, we can get a sticky on this post of bending! And this site will be better than others. AS it is the only one I have and have time for! Thanks a lot! :thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

I've stuck this for the season at least, and I'd like to copy out the bending posts to add to the FAQs if that's all right?

[painretreat]

Thanks Stinky, this is a nice addition to my novice grow book and easy for me to find on this site! I just love this site and the helpful advice and instructions from people like bcgrown, yourself and many others! I thot it was so helpful and clear as how to and WHEN to bend! pr:thumbsup:

[bcgrown]

Yeah stinky you can copypaste it 2 the FAQ'S or however you like .
Much Thanks

I will do a update post on the outdoor very soon. Also will post more pics of the "Bending" plants on my belcony so you guy can see how much they have bushed out since last bending pics.

:rastasmoke: Enjoy the sun everyone!

[bcgrown]

belcony plants :D

Cool glad ya dig it :thumbsup:

Here is a update from today July 21. Starting to bud and will be going onto the "Dr. Hornby's Big Bud" Ferts I think its a 0-15-40.

A few strains have yet to start budding but will switch over once they start. :rastasmoke: There are a few plants that are about 6-8 feet tall.
:rastasmoke: Starting to clear out the lower branches so that the top colas get the juice and can produce more BUDS.

And also will attached my breeding spot pictures.. They are a kush cross "about 20 seedlings 3 female clones mixed in of a widow cross." and I got a nice 5 foot blueberry "female" in there that im gonna knock up also. Should get some nice seeds from this batch and will try em out indoor over the winter.

ENJOY!:rastasmoke:

Get the idea...

[SouthernGuerilla]

Question about bending.

What if your stem breaks open on one side when you bend it?

[bcgrown]

If it does this it means you have picked a soft tissue stem or to hard of a tissue or you have maybe bent it a little hard and snaped the tissue open, it may heal but would suguest to try to prop it up so it doesnt break off completly.
Try to pick the more hard wood branches but not to hard of a tissue if they are to soft they will break and snap and if there to hard they will also snap and the bend wont be as affective or the branch part above the bend will just die from shock. I think its best to try it a few times till you know what to feel for.

IF it fails try try agian. :rastasmoke:

[SnSstealth]

amazingly healthy lookin plants man!!! :greenthumb:

All is well. I decided to LST and/or bend my plants. I even topped a few 2 or 3. They're all doing well today. :D

The one that I thought was doomed had a vertical split on one side edge of the "bend". Its about .5cm wide and 2cm long, the area of the damaged stem.

Now I just wait for the bent stems to heal.

[middieman440]

dam u got some hairs on them bushes already mine are outdoors and only have few hairs here and there did you start off indoor or is it just your location idk im knew with this but very nice plants i have one plant from bagseed that is 6+ but i think its a male but not too sure yet will hopefully know this weekend im up north by the way mass when do u think it should so sex

[grow1964]

Nice job BC. Beautiful ladies!!!

[SouthernGuerilla]

bcgrow - some of my stems that I bent the other day have rehealed, have a big knot in the stem where I bent them over, AND standing STRAIGHT UP as if I never bent them.

Should I keep them tethered down while the bent section heals or just keep bending the stem(s) in new spots?

Thanks.

Yeah this will happen sometimes you can do another bend but try not to on the same branch. I would just leave it tied down and let it go that way. Can you notice the diffrence on the part above the bend?

Try try try agian. You will get it. But i think the way you have em tied down in your pics i saw on other thread you have. That way works fine also. Go with what works best for yourself.

I just leaned(didn't bend) them over and used aluminum wire to stake them to the ground. Wrap one end of the wire around the main stem and the other end of the wire in the dirt.

But thanks again. :rastasmoke:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

I had a feeling stinky would see that well written post and make it a sticky lol

your plants look amazing and they're all tall beauties. the ones in flower seem like they're really going to produce a lot on the main colas. shits already gotta nice layer started.

keep up the good work and i'll be looking out for the next update, i'd say 2-3 weeks. :thumbsup:

ohh haha i thought you had used the method i posted. Is the wire your using leaving any marks on the plants? Green tape also works green and wont harm your plant. :)

I will do another update sometime soonish
They are HUGE NOW! had 17 days straight sun and now just 2 days rain.. they sure soked up all that rain :thumbsup:

:rastasmoke:

They're not really hurting, maybe some rubbing but not much. I made the wire loop around the stem and wide enough so that its not constricting the plant. The wire isn't really easily noticed so I'm not worried about that. :)

[allrollsin21]

BCgrown- those are some beautiful ladies!! love the color.
ps. i think that touching the nest can have the same effect as touching the birds. no more mommy...i hope i'm wrong but maybe better to admire from a distance:thumbsup:

Oh yeah, NICE HEALTHY GIRLS!

hehe well it didnt have any effect, as the birds are bigger now and are fully featherd but still in the nest, she didnt move them or abandon " I still see her fly in and outa there to feed em them thank god :) :thumbsup:

[FrostAie]

out of nl #5 ww and BB the blueberry is growing the slowest outdoors and indoors. Have you noticed fairly slow growth with your bb strains?

[dodohead]

you have an update pic BC?

[bcgrown]

out of nl #5 ww and BB the blueberry is growing the slowest outdoors and indoors. Have you noticed fairly slow growth with your bb strains?
Actully no Its doing somewhat the best outa that section. Like allways its the kush thats been slow. BB can be finiky, but BB does well outdoors for myself "In my region" but mine also is a crossed up BB so that might explain. Genetics meh.. lol. Indoors she preforms well also. Were did you get your seeds of BB at? just curious.

I will do a update this tuesday guys.Aug 5th

ITS BC's 150 th Birithday so its a long weeknd with monday off for work... So I will take the day to do some pics and vids and do a update on here and youtube. PARTY ON AN ENJOY THE SUN! hope everyone is having a good season thus far :rastasmoke:

[painretreat]

BC-- U ROC!! Just love your pix and explanation. THANK YOU for the teachn'! Watching your grow is getting me so excited for the weather changes here for my outdoor gro next year.

Please keep up all the good info for us noobs that are dying to grow like you!

Basically, I have read many strains grow slow or fast: In your opinion, it depends a lot on the grower?? Technic's etc?

Those bending pix are awesome, I would never bend that much, if you had not illustrated like that. My experience, with a tomato plant, it died when I did that-accidently! I think with your instructions, I think I can do it right--on purpose!!!

Hope the bending gets posted, will try!

12 ft high--out a site! You rock!! pr

Thanks PR
About the question you askd about strains grow slow or fast, its all about gentics, we as growers can only do things like "trick" plant into flowering quicker some ferts or nutes say they speed up the bud production giving you a quicker flowering product, But ya we as growers can do little things to speed things up but not by much and somtimes this means less quality and height, weight in the end product. It all depends though on the method, strain etc..

12 feet and still climbin' :thumbsup:

Looks so good! Knocked up with Kush--could it get any better; don't think so! Had that blend recently, ya gotta just love it! Keep those seeds! Just keep on breeding and I expect I'll read about you in High Times right next to Stinky/Ireaper blends!

Again, thax 4 your time and sharing! pr:thumbsup:

I pulled 8 males from my breeding section and left best looking kush male "even growth was taller/bushy and had shown balls before others". Also all are now in flower or have shown preflowers and are just starting to hair out. A few that are VERY tall and cant even check tops without bending plant over or having a ladder..

hehe little pic of myself from behind also so you guys can get size idea. I did a little over fert on last feed so, I did a straight water this time to give them another week to recover. I will do a half feed next fert and will switch to bloom ferts for the plants that are going from preflower to flower. Its a bitch when growing alot of diffrent strains that flower at diffrent times etc.. But having that selection of meds is allways nice :)

You could of LST'd them to keep them below your knees or at least your waist. :D

I bet your little jungle in BC smells dank.

[bcgrown]

Yeah I wanted them to grow taller I'm not worried about how tall they get, it is just a pain when checkin the tops/buds when they are budding. I have a log I prop up and stand on to check the ones that are over 10 foot. But yah for the areas were its needed to keep them Lower I top/bend.

I wanted trees this year ;) :rastasmoke:

Here is a pic of the males I cut down out breeding section.

[redrosesforabluelady]

I'm so jealous! DAMN YOU!

arent we all....... arent we all lol



exellent grow man, i cant wait to get a hold of some good kush seeds i had some this year but only 1 sprouted and it is still only like 8 inches tall but it does have a pre flower on it lmao its probably worthless thought

[painretreat]

Thanks again for all the great illustrations. Could write a book, for sure!! PR :thumbsup:

[veggii]

bcgrown nice job your working hard know ! your gonna hit 20 ft this year man go go go do it ! yes :thumbsup:

[bcgrown]

Thanks
There is one that might hit the 20 foot mark :)
I will do another update next weeknd.
Here is some pics of another spot I have going.. There in small "2 gal" buckets and havn't really done much as for taking care of them. Its more of a "emergency" spot incase anything happen I have backup crop.

Anyways here some pics of them. There is 2 diffrent strains in this spot. One is a Berryskunk and other is a unknown. The smell is allready amazing. VERY sweet/fruity.

Next update Aug 13 :)

Yeah should be some good halloween buds to smoke this year. I'm thinking about tossing a halloween/harvest party this year.. Your all invited :jointsmile:
I have been growing since about 2001 Indoor/outdoor but I try to put somthing outdoor every year. Lots of good growers out there.. Just finding ones that are willing to share and show there methods so others can grow the killller herbs. I got alot to learn and will admit it. But what I do know I try to pass on to others.

Next year I'm going all organic :thumbsup:
haha I had to take a pic of this when I saw it!

[painretreat]

Love the pixs and thanks for the good picture of sexing the plant!! Very good picture!

I love the organic sign! you'll need a few, I imagine!!

I think organic taste's a bit better, not so earthy (but the earthy is nice for a change)! :thumbsup: PR :jointsmile:

[bcgrown]

Organics taste so much better once you smoke some organic you'll never go back too harsh chemical taste yuk :wtf:

bcgrown hows that 20ftr doing ? feed her alot shes hungry ! lol

Yeah the chem is not safe to myself/others and the environment. And since I'm doing larger grows now I feel its only right that I switch to a total organic. I Do like to flush like a mofo a few weeks before just to be sure they burn clean no chem tastes. But growing strains with unknown flowering times this might be a problem as I wont know exactly when to flush.. Playin it safe though forsure :)

Next update this weeknd. They have packed on some SERIOUS weight in the last 2 weeks :D

I will bring the tape mesure in there and have a look at how tall that one is now haha.. I'm guessing around 18-20 footer :wtf:

[inbud]

I am speachless, dont know what to say....
am in awe
am stuptified....
GREAT GROW!
just dont cover it....
wow....ttttwenty fffffeet?
:thumbsup:

[painretreat]

SO AWESOME gro log!! I luv it! How you can find the time to do all that makes me know, you have to use it to do it!

20 ft! Just a little dream: Grow larger paper to roll a jt in!! I wonder if they can make paper to roll them in, out of the leaves! That would be total organic!

Thanx for the learnin! U Roc with all the nice pix and illustrations! Plus, it seems like a lot of sneaky fun! The kind I loved half a life ago! Dream of now! As you age the fun you have now will last a long time! Keep it up! :thumbsup: PR

[bcgrown]

Update. sept 12 was gettin dark when i finally got in there.
Tallest plant is 19 feet 6 inchs from dirt to top cola :)

Donno how to describe the smell in there...... aroma therapy :P

Gonna leave the ones I thought would be done mid sept. They still have longer to go forsure.

[stinkyattic]

Wow. Nice trees. "trees" being applied in its most literal sense here. REally stunning!

They say using a 5gal bucket and a air pump and brewing a Bloom Tea is the best organic way too feed plants

What are your reasons for switching from store bought nutes to Organic Growing? I am curious because I was considering doing my grow organic next year. I have not looked into it yet seriously to find out what it would take to do it organic. Got to finish up this year first, tho I am making a list of what I will do different.
Again..
Your Plants Look Great!
hope all the smoke is smooth...

Health issues and environmental issues. Doing it organic it will be 100% natural and yes organic bud just tastes better... I go for quality i couldnt care less about weight and using these chem ferts "I grow in ground now" so its not safe to the plants/animals and lakes/rivers/streams that run near or around grow locations. Once it floods or rains hard all that chem ferts that are dumpd in ground will wash away and effect the life around.:hippy:

Thanks Veg
I'm going to get a list off the organic forum and see what I can make up maybe try a few diffrent things next year see how it goes. Also I see at some garden stores they have diffrent Grow/bloom organic ferts I will do more looking/reading around.

[stinkyattic]

There's a woodchuck that lives under my neighbor's porch that I can send you to help trim... little bastard eats my squashes and needs to find something more productive to do :mad:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

yeah, you should def have a helper when taking down that monster. i'm sure it's a heavy mofo lol and yes. a trunk shot would def be interesting. :thumbsup:

morning

[bcgrown]

I will do a update this week or weeknd latest.
I have a helper for triming hehe no way I would do all that alone :jointsmile:
Tall plants I will just cutt off branch to branch.. No chance im hauling a 20foot plant outa there.. LOL

Nice pics and even nicer buds. Heh, drive down the road with that 20ft flag pole strapped to your hood. :D

Interesting background.

[cannawish]

Don't forget to yell "timber!" when they fall...

[veggii]

timber^

[painretreat]

bc: when that timber falls we will feel the earthquake in California!!! I am still laughing at the woodchuck lol so funny!

How did the little birdies do? Guess they are having babies now! It was cute!

Your pictures are so awesome, translucent, just makes me wanna toke!

In an earlier post, you mentioned trimming the lower portions. I was curious, did you clone them or toss um? Like post # 89 around there!

Once heck of a Halloween party in BC!!!

Another little question. You mentioned bamboo! I have a good source for some and my property has some rough terrain. So, I thought I would plant bamboo all around the parcel. Any advice to get it to grow fast? Or would you even advise me to use it? About how long to get them at least 10 feet tall (unlike your 20' plus logging trees) I have somewhere between 3 1/2 - 5 acres, heaven only knows for sure. Yes, it has been surveyed, but the county likes to take chunks and all the parcels are being sold around me and they like sticking their spikes inside mine! Since, I am sort of on an island, I don't care how much they take, as long as they stay on their side and I don't pay the taxes for it! Not really, I just got tired of trying to fight it. I have the area I want! Whoops, a bigger ? than I thot!

Those 20 footer's, how big is the cola? How hard is it to cut them down? Chainsaw or ? Just curious! :jointsmile:

I keep going back and looking at your pix and I think I'd like to take a nap in the middle of the grow! Bet, it would be the best one of my life!!! So long as Stinky's little woodchuck stays home that day! :D Take care and thank you so much for all the entertainment and enjoyment I've gained from your grow! PR :thumbsup:

haha ya that woodchuck would piss me off.. eat my home grown food lol get the heck outa here!!! live trap it and release it 100 miles away lol

The bamboo I use grows from ground around may "spring time" it starts and will grow till nov "it flowers like marijuana and drops seeds also dies off " I try to research the plants/trees around were I will grow as they can play a big role in cover/smell knowing when they die off and start to yellow helps know whats a good area and whats not.. There are diffrent types of bamboo and some grow very tall and lanky and some grow thick/bushy and fast like the ones around my area. They are perfect cover and blend nice with the plants. Also the soil around them is great for growing with just adding a few things to the soil to make it right. They like lots of water so a water source near by that they feed off of cause man they love water lol "keep that in mind cause you dont wanna have to worrie about watering bamboo to keep your plants coverd ;)

Those lower branches were cloned off . No waste goes on here :)

They are starting to fill in nice I will take pics of them this weeknd. haha a few are starting starting to fall over. Going to have to tie em back to the bamboo around "another reason I like having it right near bamboo they make wicked stakes and tie offs for your plants ;)
colas are getting nice and thick on the 20 footer and there is one thats about 15 feet and all the buds are totally purple now "the black velvet" I will take pics of that one also forsure. Cooler temps are bringing out the colours :D I will chop the big ones with my machete btw hahaha. gonna be a hack job forsure.

Glad ya dig the pics. Will take pics of breeding section also.:thumbsup:

The little birds grew up and took off they stuck around for a while but I'm guessing they go south and come back next year or somthing cause they havnt been around. I left the nest there maybe they will use it again next year :)

[bcgrown]

few pics :)

[bcgrown]

more

[bcgrown]

breeding section..
Check out all the pollen sacks on that one male

Ya think he did his job? lol

[bcgrown]

[zebulon]

Really beautiful plants, looks so tasty, i would love to try some....good work...:jointsmile:
+rep

[painretreat]

Thanks you bc: everything I use to hide with will need water--will read about the rest of your suggestions: thanks again for all the skill and thought you've put into this and share with me! :thumbsup:

Again, wonderful pictures! I guess, you have me convinced, I have got to get a camera and figure out how to use it and soon!

Many thanks! Oh, I read an article last night that the lady bugs actually eat all the spyder mites and bugs that cause the problems!! So, that lady bug gave you good luck, not that you need any, but it sure was pretty! :jointsmile:

[inbud]

Great pics of the main stalks, stalk seems like a small word for those huge trees. I love purple buds and yours look great.

[bcgrown]

Trunks. :)
I will take a pic of the trunk on the blue berry.. its bigger then those are now lol..

Here are some harvest pics of a few sativas I took down. They are about 50% Amber when choped "and who said pure sativas cant be grown in BC ;)" :stoned:

I do my trimming it in 3 stages.. lol first fan leafs let it dry a day or 2 then do the mid size leafs... then at day 5-7 I do the small/tiny leafs. Then goto seable jars/containers for at least 2 weeks air it out every day 2/3 times for 10-20 mins at a time. I like to test it out till I cure till its nice and smooth depending on strain..

[naturegrrl]

I am a new grower and live in Minnesota. Can male plants also have tricomes on them at the end of the season? The plant i have looks like a male but all the buds are covered with tricomes. Thanks

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

[closetgrown]

Just got finished flipping through all seven pages and MAN am I impressed! Best outdoor grow I've ever seen :thumbsup:

Also, do you have a yield estimate?

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

grown, you're harvest is simply off the charts amazing. very nice job man, that's insane. outdoors at it's best. I wish i could taste those beauties. I'm curious, what method do you use to cure the buds? and how long because it seemed like perfection in just a few weeks. unbelievable shots too, that's a sick camera.

oh and how's the smoke of that purp kush, real smooth then heavy?


-mgm

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

oh and i only had one outside but had decent yield for the issues i encountered early. about 3 z's but it was a learning experience so it's all good.

mgm

[magiccity445]

Dude....:eek:

your grow is fuckin insane... i hopes my outdoor grow next year will be as nice...

good shit:thumbsup:

[nocd89]

Im growing for the first time and seeing those plants makes me want to pass out. Any tips would be very helpful and ty for all of ur posts.

[Sandm4n]

wow im amazed that is one of the biggest out door plants i have ever seen :stoned: keep up the good work :thumbsup:

[painretreat]

Well BC I've read from the begining and must admit, I have enjoyed this log and all you've put into it for all of us to enjoy. For me, I've enjoyed it, as if I were there helping you do the harvest. I have envisioned every moment of this! thank you so much==FOR EVERYTHING and the begining of a nice cyber friendship! PR :thumbsup:

[inbud]

Excellent looking nugs, BC.
Tried to go to your seventh page, keep getting "page can not be found".
So thot a post might get me there.
The nugs I was complimenting were on the sixth page, Oct.

[bcgrown]

[Buckten]

i just started a few outside aswell
i am still kinda schetchy about the cops

when can u tell there sex:jointsmile:

[jiggyboo65]

Hey I am your brother from another mother down here in the states. Washington to be exact. How did you keep the deer from rampaging through your shit. i'm in the process of setting up for my op this year and would like some info on how you get the lil buggers to leave you alone.

Thanks
Giggety

[FrostAie]

nice hope everyones grows go smoothly and safely this year hopefully you still got some of those nuggets :)

[z1ggy420]

Im liking this grow log :)
im loooking to grow outdoors for my first time , and I was wondering a couple questoins .
how do u know if its male or female?
how do u know what nutes are good and bad ?
how much sunllight should i give it?

[psychodelic]

You need to do more reading. All your questions can be answered by reading the basic growing stickies. I recommend reading more before starting a grow. There are other things you should know before starting (other than male vs. female, hours of sunlight, etc.)

[meowtrox]

hey man, what are these "CLONES" and "BUD SITES" ?? i'm new to growing cannabis any help will do :)

[Shovelhandle]

look for a more recent thread than 2009 to ask your questions, like 2011.
