I live in the Midwest, and am in the process of maintaining my first serious crop. Received the seeds in a purchased bag of very potent stuff, starting them out on lights somewhere in between April and May. Started seedlings on a mediocre light setup, transplanted to outdoor location.

Fertilizer= A 20-20-20 ratio. Strong I know, but I have been very careful and switching to 10-20-20 during flowering.
---Light= 10-12 hours a day

The only problems which I have experienced have been dealing with insects. They get a little bitten by crickets, and I have made homemade pesticides using different strengths of habanaro peppers, Serrano peppers, minced garlic, cayenne peppers, and vinegar. Worked pretty well, but I am in the process of making a cricket trap using Molasses, Vanilla, water and splash of lime/lemon juice.


Attached some pictures of the season so far. Here are is one partial life cycle of my Minnesota Homegrowns :thumbsup:
They look nice an healthy bro:thumbsup:. You might want to dig out 2 of the smallest in the big pot. They will only compete and leave you with little yield. Plus the roots will get all tangled up and then later it would be very hard to separate them.

But other then that, they look great man, good luck:thumbsup:
