Yeah, i love the 8 week thing! I hear it might take a little longer outside (shorter light period than indoors) but the taste is going to be much better and the effort is minimal. I'm hoping for an oz from each LR2. That would make me happy

Did you use good soil or just the native dirt? The plants with the biggest plot gets the biggest. Some of your plants looked alittle yellow... it kinda looks like a pH problem. Try adding some soil and garden lime. And becareful with the nutrients they can make pH Problems worse. Georgia is a great place to grow as long as you can keep them hydrated through the hot and dry summer. I suggest using alot of peat moss.

I went out a month before i planted them and mixed in some potting soil and leaves and grass and stuff like that. Mostly it's just the native dirt though.

pH is probably affecting my plants. Since i can't dig up the plants to mix in lime, could i just put it in the water? Or could i sprinkle it on top of the dirt so it sinks in with rain and watering?

Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions!

You should just sprinkle about a cup of it around the base of the yellowed plants and see how the plant reacts after a few days. i would suggest adding some more good potting soil and tilling it into the soil. Summer in georgia is very hot and very dry so you'll need alot of moisture in the soil so you plants won't wilt and die. The best thing you can add to the native soil in georgia is peat moss... But you have to watch the pH. I all ways use Pro-mix... its very good quality, easy to water in, light and fluffy(no bark), and its totally inert(unfertilized). If I can't get that then i settle for the Miracle-Gro moisture control... I know alot of people hate it but it isn't that bad in my situation. Most growers hate it because its got a 3 month time release fertilzer in it that is mostly nitrogen. But my litttle guys still have 3 and a half months to vegetitate before the sun tells them to flower. So it will just be a little veg-booster. Its funny how at first MG was overrated and now its kinda underated....Pro-mix is still the best... foxfarm is good but tyipically is overpriced and they dont add perlite to it.

your plants look great they re a nice green color i dont see any yellowing

[dgsgandalf]

Yeah, i don't think they're really yellowing that bad. Living in Georgia, the native dirt is red clay which is not the right pH for anything but pine trees and azaleas. Maybe problems aren't showing up right now, but they almost surely will later. I'll def mix in the lime. Having the right pH helps the plant absorb ALL of the nutrients it needs from fertilizer and the soil.

Next time i go out there i'll take some lime and see what i can do.

Peace!:smokin:

So i bought some more lights for my seed starter yesterday and woke up this morning to find a slightly burned plants and temperatures in the box of 110 degrees. Whoops... I removed the extra lights and heavily watered the plants, and i think they'll be fine.

I went out to the patch today and saw some nice calyxes and a lot of frosty resin on the biggest LR2. Next time i go i'll take some pictures. It's been 6 weeks now from seed so in another 3 weeks or so, i should be looking at some nice buds. :thumbsup:

Peace!

Updates today! Everything is starting to look pretty good. Still no pre-flowers on the Master Kush, Mango, or Thai Stick, but the flowers on the LR2 are coming along nicely.

All the strains seem to be responding well to the topping and i'm seriously thinking about topping all of them. The tallest is waist height and the shortest comes up to my knees. In a few more weeks when pre-flowers start to show up i'll make my decision which ones to top and which ones to leave.

My dog is about 20 pounds (small) and stuck her head in the last pic. Fortunately she seems to hate the smell of MJ buds, so i brought her out with me to the patch today for some company.

You can see the difference in bud development between the first and second LR2 in pics 2 and 3.
