I am really tempted to increase my pot size for this summer's grow....
Ah you want to grow your own personal Green Monstah!!!

Always. I have an amazing field that would be perfect for a serious outdoor grow...problem is that it's right next to our rental cottage. We get a lot of families in the summer and Maine law says only adults can come into contact...

Sounds like you need a BIG fence/wall LOL
Yeah you can't risk that. I can't wait to get to the point where I can do an outdoor grow. I would love to start one indoors in a 15 gallon pot and then transfer it into a 100+ gallon pot and see how big it could get.

Nah, I have plenty of other options...that's my problem! Part of me would love the farm to be a cannabis retreat. We can grow outdoors/GH/hoop house etc. Would be cool to have a Fall Harvest Gathering where people could see the process as well. Too much time daydreaming over the winter ...
I would check the ph of the soil cause not all the plants have the same behaviors. Last time I saw those yellowish leaves with kind of red edges, it s because I had bad ph. Not all the plants were affected the same way. Bought a ph meter and checked the soil. It was higher than 7.5! As soon as I corrected it, I could see the leaves heal very quickly (3-4 days could see visible results). Even the trunks and stems that were red/purple started reverting to green. I had always thought the reddish color was maybe linked to genetic but it was just cause of too high ph......
Take a look at my journal for pictures

I have areas that are already contained so no lack of choices...just something beautiful about a field of happy plants...
I have a bunch of 25 gallon pots as they are "manageable" and I can shift/slide them around by myself.
My GH roof is 9', and with a 2' pot I was pushing it last summer (and they were all topped). I need to either train them out, but then a 12x24 GH fills up pretty fast that way...

Thanks, I think you are referring to the yellowish Diesel Auto in my pics. She was a freebie and ultimately I am not even sure she is what she is supposed to be. I make all my soil, so I look at the percentages and overall my plants seem happy. I am not big on tweaking individual grows because 1) that is a slippery slope and 2) I am lazy like that.

Just ordered a 65-gallon pot for this Stank ATF baby girl. I am a little frightened, but I think that is partially the point...

Both @Van Stank Genetics popped today...again, 48 hours after hitting soil. That's 100% for four (4) .
Ordered #10 65-gallon pots for all of these this summer.
Getting ready for some trellising and such...

I do believe that every Stank genetics seed has successfully "popped". I believe there were 4 or 5 that were killed by lights and strong nutes too early, but I do believe that they are 100%.
Glad to hear they all popped for you brother and definitely looking forward to seeing them in big pots!

I think I am going to up-pot from 7 straight into 65 gallons...I don't have anything between 7 and 20-gallon!
Been looking at some YT videos on larger potted outdoor grows. I like the idea on putting them on a pallet. My tractor has forks which makes moving a 200 pound plant/pot much more realistic! Won't be doing that this year because they will be in my GH (which has a 36" door). I am patiently waiting till my gubment contract (Dep of Ag) contract expires so I can grow in here....
Cannabis wasn't legal in Maine when I got a gubment grant for this, and last summer I got a letter say "even though your State is legal, it is still Federally illegal" and they ain't tolerating it. Two more summers and then I can see many pallets with monsters loving the wide open space...

That's a nice greenhouse.....it would look great with a bunch of cannabis growing in there!

Agreed. Funny how I am looking around my 12x24" GH and thinking "how am I going to fit 12 plants in here?" They get very big come August...
That one is 21x48' and I can drive the tractor in there. The 65-gallon probably is too much for the current GH, but would likely use them (or 100) for the big GH. This summer is more of a learning curve (as always)...
Plus, I want to see how seriously the gubment boys enforce the letter. I'll keep an ear to the ground to see if anyone local is getting harassed.
Summer 2020...

Sunday Update: Reducing more sap in the GH (delicious in case you wondered) so good time for some photos.
New additions: We have 100% germ rate for four (4) new Stank Genetics: ATF, Kushberry, Stankberry, DPxATF
These were all started in the last 7 days (staggered)
NLxBB week 3... One is chugging like I expected
The other runt, planted same day, is recovering after some diluted worm juice foliar remediation
NL auto @ 6 weeks
Alien Mephisto Auto @ 6 weeks
