Indoor/Outdoor 2010 Grow log, Clones and seeds

[LetsSeeYa]

i know its gunna be a bitch, but i needed to get different soil up there. I was gunna dig holes and fill it with the FF soil, but with the grow bags i can move them around. Later in the season before flower i am gunna either cut the bottoms off of the bags and plant them in the ground, or just transplant the entire thing in the ground.

I want monsters. Big 7ft tall bushes that stare me down when i turn the corner and see the patch and make me think about my life. Thats why i love LST'ing, you can turn a plant with one main cola into a plant with 4 main colas. Without topping or stressing the plant very much. I really dont understand why more people dont try it, i think theyre afraid theyll do it wrong or something.


Now i was also thinking....... Both of my patches on really steep hills. I am thinking about packing a rubber maid container up there with some hoses and irrigation fittings and during the hot summer monthes they could watered consistently. All i have to do is fill my resevoir(i have a stream very close by so water is not an issue), mix my nutrients or whatever, and let my babies get all the water they want during the 70-80 degree days of summer because it will naturaly flow downhill to the plants.

Now its just an idea, but it would minimize the amount of time i have to be up there. Any thoughts?

My friend grows 9-10 footers and he puts a hand full of ferts in his hole, then leaves it for a week for animals can get used to it. Then puts the plant in and bury it after a week has passed. Works great, cuz iv smoked his shit and gets 2 grand a plant, so hes doing something right. Hes done this for 2n0 years. But he grows them tied down and grows them a few feet off the ground. So he gets many tops. A large jug with a small hole in the bottom will water your plant for a week. Just fill it, then poke a hole in the bottom and set it next to the stalk. It will release the water slowly and you will learn how often ya need to check them. Just cam it over a bit, ya dont want it to be seen. Might be better then running the pipe, but its on you man, just putting it out there. Good luck.

I just wanna minimize my trips, cause thats the most risky part. Your idea seems much more practical and simple. packing and creating an irrigation just makes me more susceptable to being noticed.

basically, my downfall comes from being an indoor grower.

Im so used to creating the perfect environment, i get stressed just thinking about the things that could go wrong while the days im not checking on them.

Yeah well man the plants are really just weeds and they are harder to kill than you think, its prob cuz you have been growing indoors and have been able to baby them along. But outdoors only tha strong survive and you got the elements to worrie about, your main prob is gonna be the bugs and wild critters.

Which im sure you prob have something to take care of the bugs even indoor growers have them lol, the critters well you can use fishing line or chicken wire thats has be painted camo style placed around each plant will work for that. Oh and you they are on the side of a hill well does it rain alot there heavy rain might wash them away if it rains really heavy for a couple days seeing they are in bags.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

lol just more things for me to worry about. I think ill be fine. I have a weekend of 70 degree weather, so theyre doing fine.

The good thing about living in Western Washington State is that the weather is generally mild. Summer usually averages in the 70's and low 80's, and the fall is beautiful(but does have a tendancy to get very moist). And no, it does not rain all the time in washington like everyone thinks. Check the average yearly precipitation and Washington is in the middle of the list. We just have this constant grey sky in the fall and winter that makes you wanna kill yourself. I swear i dont see the sun for 4 monthes.

i went through that last week, i was trying to transplant my clones but it wouldnt stop raining and hailing. I figure in the long run it will just make them stronger and more resistant to stress. I noticed that the stems and branches are really starting to beef up from the wind and being blown around.

Im just really happy that they didnt flower from being put outside too early.

Im getting about 15 hours of light right now, and i had them running on 17/7 when they were inside. I would be pissed if they flowered and i had to reveg them, its like a waste of 1 months growth(or more).

ye man natures course of events on a plant.... if it doesnt kill it, it will only make it stronger and it will be able to withstand greater stress later on for example, in flowering when u dnt want it to be stressed at all, a plant that has already been battered about will do better through stressful situations.:jointsmile:
