Bonus though, I figured out the recipe/mix for running big plants in small containers organically without running out of carbon. This gives me a lot more freedom.

Volunteer is on its way.. I’ll be moving it into full sun this weekend.

I could, and have, however, it also has one of those annoying caveats where I say my soil has been specifically built and recycled for this. I’m not confident I could do it out of the bag but that gives me a wonderful idea for the next grow. I’ll run a few straight from the bag lightly amended no cook, and a few recycled and see what happens.

Good morning Keff! You got a right jungle happening!

Nice growing bruv!

Thanks Tra! While it will produce wonderfully I find it a bit unprepossessing

Looking Good Keff🥰😍👊. Gotta love those tall Ladies. The stacking is really coming in nicely. Your stash for the Winter is going to be Primo! Nice work!

What did you end up going with for carbon, coco?

Yeah. I’ve gone through multiple C sources and nothing really comes close to coco without having a boatload of other stuff I don’t need or fillers that tie it up for too long

You have a gorgeous garden yourself so I truly appreciate the compliment!
 
😂 The idea that a bunch of middle aged Americans who dodged going to Afghanistan and Iraq really think they could fight a civil war makes me laugh much more than anything else I’ve laughed at in years. “Don’t forget to stop at CVS for my heart medicine before we reach the battlefield” 🤣 idiots

The enemy is going to hear your sleep apnea machines.

Honestly the entire idea of it is absolutely ludicrous and I almost spit my drink out when I read it. I was even more humored when I saw the calls for war were because a dishonorable thief was convicted of a felony.

I haven’t met a single American civilian who is ready for what war is really like. Civil war is even worse. No one wants to fight their children, but that’s exactly what happens.

Here’s his latest monsters. I told him if he’s gonna insist on growing random stuff at least put it in the ground and help establish his yard for growing

Holy Moly Keff! You have some leggy Gals there! They look like they are really starting to stack nicely🥰❤️. Are they getting stinky yet?

They’ve been stinky since they matured in veg. I’ve become nose blind to it in the house but in the room they smell great. A lot of fruit, which is my favorite.

The stretch was so intense I had to route multiple branches in zig zag patterns, back and forth. You can see in the images branches were run out horizontally multiple feet then let up, or they were run out then folded back on themselves.

It was pretty insane and has left its mark on me.

It's my biggest challenge with sativas.

Manifolding definitely helps, letting them sit in solo cups for a few extra days helps, but what I have found that helps the most is using flower soil for the entire grow and sprouting in final containers.

Sprouting in final 10gal pots allows the plant to spend a lot of time growing roots before it grows the shoots and buys you about 3 weeks of non-accelerated height growth in veg cycle, and the flower soil ensures you don't over nitro them so you control the explosive foliage, and brix go thru the roof begore flip.

Combined with manifolding, which if you manifold to 8, so 3 toppings, gives you three 3-4 day stalls, but only on foliage.
The roots keep forming.

Add it all up and you can usually reach day 56 about 12" shorter, which after flip is 24" or more less height.

But I love watching someone else go thru with it🤣.

My personal best is a 9' Kingdom Organics Cherry Malawi grown in a 6' tall grow space (6 feet of usable space in an 8 foot tent).

It was the only plant in the 5 x 5 and it was spiralled around and then bent diagonally corner to corner with the apex cola brought back to dead centre. I had tie downs going in every direction. It was super branchy too.

Thats when I knew I had an addiction and had to have an intervention with myself🤣.

The stupid part is that manifolding and flower soil to create a smaller plant gives you a better yield.

I can easily fit 4 in the 5 x 5 now and each of the colas gives me .75 - 1 oz per cola, depending on strain, so 6-8 oz per plant, with zero larf when grown in 10gal pots.

If you put 4 in the tent it looks like a scrog but you can pull the plants out if needed.

Sprouting in 10gals is hard, you need to pay attention to your watering, but it pays dividends.

It creates a rootball that can power a half pound of bud. Thats hard in a 10gal pot.

And no larf makes trimming so easy, plus it loweres the plants need to be competetive amongst it's colas, so they stretch less as everyone has enough light.

As soon as you have larf down under the plant will elongate itself to try to get light down there.

Add all that up and you buy yourself a couple feet of extra head space.
 
New outdoor soil being put into rotation.

1 cup all purpose.

I’ll mix it all up, add a little water, wrap in the tarp for 24 hours, unwrap, mix up, rewrap, repeat for 3-5 days.
