Maine 4-Season Greenhouse Grow

Hi Blew, more questions here please. I have my first outside girl in a 25 gal bag now in the yard. I wonder when it's time to water. I do know when it's time in the tent from looks, weight. I'm at a loss for signs since I don't think I want to wait to see droop. Or do I? I've been watering on 4 or 5 day periods. What's your view? She's about 4 feet tall now. Thanks
Pics help, but in general I am watering my 30/45 gallon pots 2x a week, so I am roughly going on a Mon/Thursday schedule...I waited till Friday this week because it was pissing rain Thurs and overcast. I find if I schedule twice a week they get just enough, but not too much...at this point I am not trying to encourage more growth!

As they enter flower I start to increase watering schedule to 3x a week, then every other day (as needed).
 
Just gave away my first bundle of worms. Wasnt sure if they were even still in there... well they most certainly are!

Thanks again. The plan is to try some come November

You can get a lot of worms from just a handful....:)

Wow thats good food for thought. Especially in flower needing significantly more. Thanks. I'm going to pick it up a little and then get a feel for the fall flowering. May your generosity be reflected back to you double in your garden!

Nice! She will easily double in size before flower. Might consider throwing in some (metal/bamboo) stakes in the corners of the pot to eventually support the buds.

Thing of beauty though....
 
Looks like I'm going to be busy come fall. Well One in a pot and one in the ground isn't much. I'm on the perpetual learning curve is all. Thanks VStank
In that size pot you can get away with 2-3x a week during flower...

I'm sitting here thrilled and laughing thinking what doubling my queen might mean. I have some stakes going in sometime soon. I wonder if she's safe from rabbits, groundhogs, It would be nice to get her off the blocks and on the ground. Any experience there?

She will easily double...(50% higher and 100% wider)

No experience with anything except hordes of tent caterpillars. I don't really see bunnies scaling a pot, but I am only guessing. You will def want some support/trellising that she can grow into...it happens quickly.

If you put it on the ground you could encircle it with lightweight (metal) garden fencing...maybe a 6' diameter circle...then you could train some of the branches though the fencing...that would offer lots of support (and some protection from critters).

I was just telling my wife last night that I could easily add another layer or trellising with my current plants (but I have no room for it) ....and I can see how with bigger pots/plants you could even get 3 layers of support.

Next year...

WhooHoo! And visions of BIG girls dance in my head. OK so I'm setting a plan for support soon. She's tilting to the sun as we speak. Hopefully some heavy colas are in her future.
 
I have my 2 tents and plenty of space for other stuff. Other side of the basement is finished so after I'm done in the dungeon I can go over to the other side and have a beer and watch some sports.
That's the cats ass / my basement is small and damp most the time were water gets under the foundation when it rains alot ,,, going to get that fixed soon with some other things that need attention !
 
Well got some Bad news (for me anyway ) other nite my son went for another illegal drive and was trying to get away with power from the 1967 ford he just got , slid her up in the driveway around 3:30 AM and the sheriff was on his tail , he went down the trail next to the 2 acre garden we use to plant . I was woke up at 4:00 AM law beating on my bay window in my room . They said he had ran and ask me if i go back there much ((( I said NO had a feeling were this was going ))) by then there were 6 or so cars and sheriffs everywhere , he told me there were 4 marijuana plant 's down there i said i don't doubt it !! They plucked my baby's up and i guess they will charge my son with them?? Next day he got a couple to go to the beach for a day or two?! and said he would turn himself in on return ? At 19 on probation now and still not getting it ,, i remember being stupid when i was younger but to keep on not getting it is just not understandable to me lord knows i have talked to him till blue in the face . Sorry for the rant ! Day before i had just dropped a northern lights X BB and CoCho autos in the ground and you know once there there you can't pull em out so here we go again. Pissed me they were moving on pretty good . :(:rip::rolleyes:

Damn... that's a rough one there. Hope they don't try to pin that herb on him too.

Best of luck. Hope he figures it out man.

Not looking forward to the day my kids are old enough to really raise hell. I'm in for it too. I was a real twat as a teenager.

-P

Not a lawyer but possession is 9/10 of the law....follow the three D's...Deny, Deny, Deny. Anyone could have sneaked onto your property and planted those...
 
Monday is watering day and everyone got their fill of pure Maine spring water (aka our hose). 10-gallon pots taking 2 gallon, 30/45 gallon pots getting 4 gallons. Had a hot weekend (high of 85F) and the GH maxed at 95F so the modified venting is proving itself this summer. I have already started similar modifications on the 16x48' GH for summer 2019 grow with more room. By then, Maine legislation will have caught up with their updated ruling to limit home cultivation to three (3) plants per adult and that means I am growing six (6) very large photos and six (6) large 10-gallon autos. No doubt the autos are responding well to the larger pots. They are all 50% bigger than anything I have grown since in 7-gallon pots and they still have 6 weeks + to go before they are done. I added a tomato cage to the @SeedsMan OG Rolex Kush auto because was quietly getting huge in the corner....easy to lose perspective around the photos (who are continually getting topped and trained).

Next on the agenda today is strawberry picking...hope everyone has a smooth Monday.
 
Morning Mr Blew.....hope you guys are staying cooler than we are. Just turned on the Tele and about to watch Mexico vs Brazil. Only supposed to be low to mid 90s here today......gtfo with that crap, no thanks.
