Well thanx fellers for the kind words.. Ok since ya asked.. I start out by digging a big hole in what is pretty much clay Ky dirt and it holds about 20 gal of fill. I fill each hole with a big bag of Pre nuted potting soil and a big bag of Pearlite for holding a bit of water. That Miracle Grow bagged stuff. I nute using regular Miracle Grow all purpose High N until I see flowers and switch to Miracle Bloom at that point. Nothing fancy as I figure that all the micro nutes will be available from the soil around. I also make it a point to clip tips early on and I know I've been told a doz time that clipping will hurt yield but I have found that I get smaller buds but a bunch more of em.. and in the long run clipping until flowering starts has produced about a 15% greater yield than letting it grow naturally . I'm a disabled Vet and actually use it instead of taking all the pain killers the VA keeps pushing on me. At the rate I'm seeing in Stan I think she will be about 11 feet tall at finish and Ollie will top out about 7 feet and yes I have avaraged around 3/4 lb per plant in the last 5 grows. and this one is following the same rates so far.

As for scrog I have a very limited space so I thought this year I would try it and it seems to be doing peachy. I keep spreading the limbs to fill the wire frame until it starts to flower and then start clipping the tips to force branching and get a good full flat bud mat across the wire..

I have tried many nutes from buying individual nutes and mixing to none at all and have so far found I do just as well with good old fusion Miracle grow as with all the fancy stuff. I haven't had any bug problems and that mainly due to an abundance of lady bugs and birds that pop the snails and creepy crawlies around. I had a fear that Stan was just a Fiber Hemp plant due to its tall early flowering but the other night I snipped a couple new growth buds and its not rope hemp.. Kicked my old ass.. and I did some trimming and did the Butane extraction thing and got a gram or two of hash and it was very sweet in flavor and as good as any I've had in a long time.. So other than the one plant that has a problem with what I think is a Mildew type mold forming on growing tips I have no issues.. and they are looking very purdy when I go down in the cut and sit and watch the humming birds whizzing about .
Quantummist Reviewed by Quantummist on . My Grow ( In case anyone cares) Hope this works New here so thought these links might show up.. My grow this year consist of two plants growing outside in a scrog method and two plants growing side by side I have Named Stan and Ollie due to Stan being tall and skinny and Ollie being short and big/bushy All are doing fine except for one plant that has a Black Tip problem and I have yet to get it under control and may have to pluck her. All the seed are unknown genetics and I just started a few dozen and picked the ones Rating: 5
