Keith's Real Second Grow - Banana Jealousy

[Hawk518]

I have neem sprayed the 3 plants and they look good it is going to be hot today.

Good morning. Curious - did you spray w. Neem because you saw issues or as a preventative? Did you spray the soil as well? I just transplanted my two Autos outside in raised beds and wondering if I should be using Neem now as well.

 

[KeithLemon]

I use the neem as a preventative measure, and I did not spray the soil, but I have in the past and will after they are final potted. I do not have a pest problem at this time, but neem helps as a preventative.

Damn they're getting big

Thanks, con they are getting bigger they are double in size of last year's plants. I am amazed at the difference between the size of last year and this year. The plants just look better, and I thank the light for that. They are sucking up the sun right now and loving it. It will be feed time tomorrow and I think they are looking forward to it. It is in the 80s.

They're looking terrific! How much space between the tops and the light these days? Gotta be a heck of a lot closer than the old days!

 

[KeithLemon]

Thanks, Shed and I am 18 inches from the plants, also I have not had the light higher than 40%.

Keep an eye on the upper leaves to see if the points on the edges start to curl up. That can be an early sign of light stress.

 

[KeithLemon]

Thank you Shed I am really guessing at what I do and listening to what I read. It helps with all the different grows most are not like mine Idoors to start then outside till maturity. No matter what the outcome.

Everything is ok plants are ready for up potting I have a Pineapple Chunks, Mack and Crack and a Banana Jealousy. My grow has been so much better with a 4x4 tent to work with. My plants are much bigger than last year and growing super-fast. All and all things are very good. I glad to hear everything is good with you.

My plants are doing great today loving the day. They are really wanting to be up potted but they need to wait till Friday when I can get more Happy Frog soil.

 

[KeithLemon]

My plan is to use 15-gallon cloth pots, but I also have 20-gallon pots. What do you all think 15- or 20-gallon pots. I did want a little smaller plants but all I may end up with is big plants in a smaller pot. I may have to water more often, and I do not want to need to water every day. I need some help here making up my mind I am looking forward to any input so please tell me what you think. Will 15 gallons be too small. Thanks for any input.

I just noticed the sign for the first time.
So mesmerized by the beautiful ladies I never noticed.
Very nice.
Hope you get some sun today.
Take care my friend

I have 2 in 25 gallon, same as last year.
10'x10' girls so 15 gallon would be fine I imagine.
Unless your going for a record you can still get a great size girl in 15 gallon pots.
I've grown some very big girls in 10 gallons of soil many times.
Can't wait to see them in their glory.

Aside from the SIP I've never grown cannabis in anything bigger than 7 gallon, but I think starting seeds later, and training would have more effect on the size of the plants.

You are not the first one I have heard tell me that. Training is key I have not done much training, but I will get a chance if I want it.

My vote's for the larger pot Keith. 30 actually

 

[KeithLemon]

Thanks Stone the 20 gallon was my first thought. I do not think I will go with 30 as this is too large for me.

Good afternoon I just fertilized the garden, and my 3 plants may get some water later in the day. My tomato plants got plenty of feed. My weed plants will not need to be feed for a couple days now. all 3 plants are looking fine and loving the sun with plenty of shade later this afternoon. It is a beautiful day with a nice breeze.

I fell a few pages behind, Keith. I stopped getting your notifications for some reason.

Anyhow, the plants look wonderful.

A quick thought on the Maxi nutrients. I noticed a few posts back where you were concerned about upping the dosage.

I don't know if you decided to use the schedule I posted here but if you look at it you'll notice that there's a lot of flexibility regarding how much you use. Since the schedule is divided into 3 parts for Aggressive, Medium and Light feeds, I take that to mean that one should be safe as long as they stay within the limitations outlined in those different sub-schedules.

So, for example, their recommendations for early growth are:

Light Feed: 2.7g
Medium Feed: 3g
Aggressive Feed: 3.8g

I take that to mean that any dosage between 2.7g and 3.8g for early growth should be safe.

Of course you want to pay attention to the plants and what they're showing you when deciding how much to use. But you've clearly got that part covered!
