Outdoor Season 2008

Man, I really like your cabinet setup. I'm guessing you're going to continue upgrading it for indoor grows during the winter months? Heck, you could have a bit of an experiment and place some of your different strains outdoors, while keeping some indoors to see which do better.

I do look forward to following your grow, and I can't wait to see some outdoors. As you stated, it appears our plants are about the same age. I am envious of the quantity and different strains you have. I should have more coming in the next couple of weeks, but wish I could start more now.

Good luck with your grow. I will be keeping an eye on your progress.

Aloha, my friend.

it's funny that you've said that, jakezking. I'm jonesin' to buy this 400 watt metal halide ballast kit.

I already have this 400 Watt M-59 MH bulb.

I had alot of strains that I had purchased 4 or 5 years ago that I guess were improperly stored. their germination rate has greatly declined, which is why I'm having to order new seeds.

here's a quick update. it seems they're starting to grow a little faster now. another one fell over today, this time an AK-48. I fixed it by putting more soil around the stem and compacting it (without using the copper wire this time). I hope to get them all outside in the next few weeks.

my White Skunk seeds will probably arrive Tuesday. I might get more Original Haze x Skunk #1 freebies as it has not been too long since I've last ordered, but who knows. they're looking pretty fine though (they're the 2 in the clay pots). can't guarantee they'll finish outdoors around here, but they were free, so what the heck.

as for ferts, I'm leaning towards trying the new General Hydroponics BioBizz line, specifically Fish-Mix, Bio-Grow, and Bio-Bloom.

another update to come later in the week. :rastasmoke:

Those ladies, all of them hopefully, are lookin' mighty fine! Good luck in your quest for a ballast for the bulb. I don't know much about pricing of ballasts, but it seems like the bulbs are pretty expensive, so hopefully you're at least 1/2 way there, my friend!

Thanks for the update and the pretty pics. I need to take some pics of the Freeze. I think I burned her a bit with some nutrients, since she's already in Miracle Grow soil. But, trial and error is normally the way I learn.

Good luck, and I will continue to follow your log!

tasty strains you got growing. looking forward to seeing the outdoor stuff when it happens. I was wondering how old the MH bulb is and what is that a dark spot on the glass??

Nice start dude. Nice variety as well. Very well thought out and planned. You should see GREAT success with this grow.:thumbsup: I'll be peeking in.

the plants are too far away from the lights it looks like... you should try keeping them 4-8 inches above the plants

thanks to everyone for the feedback. :thumbsup:

I'll hopefully be starting to get them out this weekend, and I'm hoping to get them all out by June 1st. the bulb is a few years old, I happily acquired it from a downed parking lot lamp. no idea if it works, and I'd guess the dark spot is from heat, since it's on the inside of the glass.

they're getting pretty big, and they're already starting to get a little fragrant. I'll have to get them outside ASAP.

I also plan to top and FIM, which I've never done before, so I'll have to do some reading (I see there is a post about it in the grow FAQs).

update ? days of veg. :stoned:

well they R looking great.bro.

I second that! ::subscribed::

a quick update before bed.

I was out preparing a plot today and something aggravating happened. on the other hand, my seeds arrived today. :jointsmile:

also took a pick of a random nug out of the bag I'm currently smoking. :smokin:
