I would love to see that plant taken outside and planted into the ground about may 1 and see what it looked like come harvest. That's my dream some day. Beastly looking plant. Excited to see it flower out

One can only hope my friend
I am still working on the best ways to feed these ladies so hopefully I can do a better job on grow #2 then I did on #1. It is all just big learning experience.
It is a beast and once I LSTed her down she really spread out, but I hardly doubt that I will end up with as big of a beast as Monos, would be nice though.
LOL oh I have plans for my outdoor grow and they will be considerably larger then the ones I grew this year. The ones I did this year did not even go into the ground till July 1st. This coming summer I am going to put mine out the last week of May and am planning on vegging them inside for about 2 to 3 months before I move them out. At that time I will be shutting down the inside grow till just before harvest, so I can spend all my time taking care of the yard. They will not be tall, but they will be bushy as hell. I am thinking of doing an espaliered style grow on them, like I see the apple orchards use.

That is going to be a riot! Will you plant straight into the ground or in raised bed?

I'd like to see you do this. Your obvious natural skills would make this an exciting grow. Ranger pulled one off last winter in a closet with poor lighting and a Mylar safety blanket tacked to the wall behind her. Brilliant drama and worth the read if you've time. Ranger has a stunning way with language.
That beast requires her own space. Can you accommodate Her Majesty in the style she appears to be demanding? Isn't it frustrating to have so many excellent choices and lack the space and, more importantly, the light to fuel the grow? Is there ever enough light? I think not. Be honest..... If you have lots more light don't you immediately begin rooting more clones? LOL! We're a driven lot.

Day 45 since flipping to 12/12.
Temp/RH% in bloom tent over night was high of 85/38% and low was 62/29%. If the low temps keep dropping I am going to need to do something to compensate, either a heater or something. Time to get a little creative I guess. Still checking daily for my unwelcome guests and keeping a close eye on the trichomes. I know by all rights I should have at least 2 1/2 weeks left but I am starting to think I may switch now to just straight water to finish these ladies out with since I am getting so many trichomes turning already.
So here is a few pictures I took this morning that I enjoyed.
love the new growth in the veg tent, just wish it would slow down a smidgen.
Flowering tent is still pretty much unchanged, wish they would fatten up some but I am not seeing it happening. Oh well live and learn, time to research what I did wrong and ways to improve for the next one.
Hope everyone has a great day
"SWMBO" went to work today and they sent her home since she still is running a fever. Just can not get that gal to take it easy for a moment.

Some strains are just thinner bro. You're doing fantastic, stop being so hard on yourself.

I have not decided yet, it kind of depends on my outside girls and what space in the yard they will let me have. They like the taste of the new growth and can really raise hell if not fenced off.
I do have the space, I have a 5x10 tent which presently I am only using about 1/2 of so that should not be a major issue, though even with getting a new Mars II 900 to add to the collection I may find I am short on light.... AGAINI'd like to see you do this. Your obvious natural skills would make this an exciting grow.

As for my natural skills, ok that actually made me laugh out loud. I only have made it this far because I pay attention to what the rest of you all do and what works and what doesn't.
Of course I always have time to answer any question you might have in regards to electrical. In my opinion electrical equates safety and in my world safety always takes top priority.

Thanks OG! Well, basic info is that I will be running a 400w hps for a flower room and 275w max cfl's give or take a few watts. I'm not sure what else you need to know. All I know right now about the house is that they connected each outlet to the next one. Like daisy chaining all the outlets if you will. The hps has a dimmable ballast as well. I can go to 50%, 75%, 100%, and super lumens setting.

K lets start at the beginning, Is the grow area inside your home and if so, what amperage breaker is controlling that room. One easy way to find which breaker controls the room is plug in a radio and turn the volume up high enough to where you will hear it at your breaker panel. Now go to the panel. Chances are it will be a 15 amp breaker so start with those. Turn one off at a time, if you can still ear the radio, turn it back on and move to the next. Once you find the breaker which turns off the radio, go back to that room. Check to see if the over head light is on or off. Anything that uses electricity has to be considered.
A normal 15 amp breaker can handle safely 1,440 total watts. That is everything on that circuit combined, Lights, fans, air pumps water pumps, clock radio, over head light if you have one.
with your lights you are less then 50% capacity of a 15 amp circuit so unless you have a ton of other electrical devices on that circuit, I would say your golden for now, but do check to be sure. If you cannot figure out the wattage of say a fan or any other device it is really simple. Go to the nameplate of the device. It will have the voltage and amperage listed. Now just multiply the volts time the amps to get the watts.
Hope this helps you out Mello

Thanks OG, I will be having roughly 900w running. It fluctuates for on/off times and so on. Your awesome, thanks!

How many times has this been said by a grower? I think it may be the first time ever! Your bush is looking great, healthy as any I've seen, props to you. And reps to you for your attitude and helping others.

Haha JB you may be surprised. The biggest problem running a perpetual is keeping the veg plants from growing into a jungle during the two months your other girls are flowering. You have to keep cutting them back.OG ...

OG, wow man!
How on earth is this your first grow?
Must have been taking the pi** when you said I had done my research on my baby project!

Thank you JB for the compliment. You will be surprised just how often that actually gets said, due to either not enough grow space, or in my case I have the grow space just not enough lights.OG ...

Exactly, not all plants grow alike, some just explode with growth while others are slow and steady. No way to predict that.
I do believe you did your research or I would not have said so. As for your baby project, my baby project started with 3 plants, since that was all I could afford. I bought the LSD the PW and the Mango on the same day as my brother bought his Harlequin. They were tiny clones in a 3" x 3" plastic container, not even what I would call a pot. I grew them till they were big enough to clone then started cloning them. When I started I had 1 LED light a 4x4 tent a exhaust fan a t-stat for the exhaust fan and that was all. And all of that was a gift to me from a neighbor. I went out and bought the "Marijuana Horticulture Medical grower's Bible", by Jorge Cervantes and started reading. I did not find the 420 site until I was almost ready to flip to flower a few months later... oh crap I am rambling again.. well Carloke it is a long story but yeah it can be done.
"SWMBO"is going to stay home today, with the weekend that gives her 3 more days to fully recuperate. As for the sun shinning, I live in Oregon my friend. The sun shines here every day of the year. Just some days you can not see it unless you are up around 12,000 feet or so.Mornin OG
Hope its sun shinny beautiful day, and the ol lady is feeling better.
Hope your day goes well to DW. So is it still chilly up north? We have been warming up a smidgen the last couple of morning. Man I was getting tired of having to deal with the chickens water being frozen every morning.

Good morning MelloMorning OG!
Day 46 since flipping to 12/12 and it is still got me a bit baffled with the trichomes. My brother will be in town later this afternoon and he will be stopping by to get a 2nd opinion on how far along they are.
Time to clean house, I have 2 pocket micro-scopes, one which attaches to a iPhone camera and one you view with your eye. Figures I can not find the one that goes to the iPhone. Once I find it I will try and get some close ups of the trichomes, but as of right now I still believe I have 2 to 2 1/2 more weeks to go till harvest. I have to wear gloves when doing anything in the tent now, touching anything without gets my hands super sticky and it is a pain to wash off.
My temp/RH5 highs and lows were all over the place last night, Highs were 85/42% and lows were 62/29%
Watered The scrog yesterday, each plant took 2 gallons each. I am assuming that Mango will be ready tomorrow to be watered but will see what she has to say about it.
Heres a quick glance at the veg
The scrog and Mango in the flowering tent.
Need to find that other camera attachment.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday and all is well.
Peace
I don't know what I like most, your plants or photography skills.
