Jerry Garcia's "Sunshine Daydream Grow" Summer Grow 2008

lookin really good man.. I'm about to start LST myself. What are you using to tie them down? What are they attached to? Maybe I'm blind but its kinda hard to tell from the pics.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

These are the mother plants that I am rotating. They are responding nice to the new light:)

I could put them in the ground anytime now.

Zeb, All these plants are destin for the great outdoors.

Bombdiggity, I use wire coat hanger cut into 8'' lengths, then bent at one end like a hook. Then just push the hook into the soil where you need it.

very nicely done.

Excellent. as expected:thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to another excellent grow and log. The last one is great.

I'm looking to trying BB in my next grow.
Also, I use the same wire "hooks" for training the branches, except I use scrap solid #12 electrical wire.

irie,
shov

Yo jerry, Nice to see you'v got another grow log on the go.. Your last one was brilliant:thumbsup:.. Will Defo be watchin this one all the way...

Good luck dude...:jointsmile:

Thanks for stopping by everyone:)

I expect this to be a great grow log so here is my plan. I plan to have several locations going and visit as little as possiable, ( this keeps trails to the grow to a minimum and to keep thievens at bay, several grows just in case one is found). The longest I will go is 2 weeks max between visits depending on rain. I look for locations that have a tree line going east to west and plant on the south side. You get maximum direct sun exposure in this location in my hemisphere. Another must is a water source nearby.

Today I am going to scope out an electrical easement I saw driving by the other day. I usually do not like this location in the countryside because they are very popular locations for hunters in the fall. But this location no hunting is permitted so it looks promising.

I was just wondering do you think that hurts the roots at all? I feel like I'd be pushing the hanger through a whole bunch of roots

Bombdigity,

It may harm a few roots out of hundreds, so it is so minimal that the plant never even notices. Put it this way you could compare it to a pin prick.

Keep in mind a MJ plant is concidered a weed and is very resiliante to almost anything you can throw at it.

Another option is for him to drill a few holes in the rim of the pot to tie down his plants. Though be careful because doing this will weaken the strength of the rim of the pot.

Personally I'll be doing the wire coat hanger method next time. I tried bamboo skewers and yarn.. didn't work out so well last time. Got the job done but it was admittingly a pain to do it that way.
