OK, I need some opinions here, please.

LMFAO!!!

WOW! What a story. I am sorry it turned out like that for you. Outdoor growing CAN be an amazing experience...if it is a good one. I tell you what though, if I had the resorces, and the experience with water qualities, (for growing, anyway; I am an expert in aquariums...majored in marine biology and botony) I would be going hydro also. I just have a green thumb, and a nack for growing outdoors plants. Not to mention a special thanks to my botony professors!

It does kinda suck though, when the damn 'Hoppers and other leaf eaters (fu*kin' catapillers! I hold a dark spot in my heart for those wreched creatures!) come out of the woodwork and set up shop. BUT...thats the kind of things that make it interesting.

It's even more pathetic that we have several acres and no neighbors....perfect for growing if it wasn't for me. Your tree rocked so much!Now i understand why...botany major. How long did you grow that thing for?

I started her indoors, in March. I let her go in the window(natural light, so she wouldnt be shocked when I transplanted her) until the temp was cooperating. In about mid June I planted her outside, in this beautifl little nook of swamp area. That is when she really started to thrive! She started flowering in mid August, and was ready in October...Harvest and manicuring was a bitch, I didnt expect a friggin' oak tree, ya know?!

She grew for approx. 7mos. all togather.

i have some haze seeds I'd love to do that with......just let them go and get as big and tall as they can. It's just the soil part.....and outdoors part.....and the me part. I wouldn't grow them in hydro because they take so damn long to flower and would get too tall for the indoors.

I think you really have to read your plants well when you grow in soil. Hydro is all numbers. I can tell my plants look weird but it takes checking all my little tester things before I can pinpoint things and try to fix them. The plants always do their share if I do mine. :)

PS No 113 degrees or grasshoppers either ;)

Pockets I hope you don't mind but I would like to steal the link to your plant and put it on my grow log for folks to see. Would this be ok with you?

No I dont have a problem with that at all...show anyone you wish, I am proud!:D It makes me feel good when someone takes an interest in my grows.

I give you my blessing, and thank you for the compliment!

Also, dont be intimidated by soil. All it takes is experience through experimentation. There are a ton of people on this site, (including myself) that would love to help, and be azious to see how they turn out. I can give you tips from my experiences that would help you a great deal.

It all starts with a seed and a hole in the ground-remember, its just a weed, after all!;)

One more thing, if you search, there are WAY better pictures in my posts than those...That is if you want to. The post you have is fine by me-they are all good pictures. I need to search them out myself so I can retain the images back...I lost them last year when my computer crashed.

Oh the weed part was all good....it was the rest of it. Lol. Thanks, I'm off to go post it....take care and may take you up on that offer of outside grow assistance. I have 8 pure haze seeds that I would really love to try. Thanks.

LMAO!!

No prob. When ever your ready...so are we.
