them hippos might be worth something mate, you know how people love weathered garden stuff, unless your planning on keeping them for yourself, either that or stick some crazy price on them and im sure some hippo fan will come along and take them from you.
it amazes me when i watch the programs like american pickers, some of the stuff they pay hundreds and thousands of pounds for is stuff we in the UK throw away and end up giving the scrap man for free, it really shocks me some of the stuff they buy, rusty bike frames, crazy prices

The ladies are looking good, I need to put up the Camo Netting just got the parachute cord 300 feet of it to help with that. I will be planting 10 more Ladies tonight. I also have added two Romulan and two Purple Urkle clones (taken from stock) to the in ground garden. The Omrita is getting close to finishing, smells so sweet. I have put 4 clones of her in the ground as well. The Blue dream is covered with trics, even the stems of the leaves are covered with a thick velvety cover of trics.
Damn its hot.
Damn its hot.

Here are my current clones. Hella busy making music and gardening. The ones to the left of my magic foot are Strawberry Cough, i have another in the sun room with a Blue Cheese and Omrita clone that have made it as well.
loving the lst, you got them running as low as you can, you going to have a nice bushy plant with that, i got a clone that i topped and its got topped at ground level so it has 2 stems starting a ground level, now its rooted and growing im thinking about doing a scrog with it, as i could put the plant in the middle of the scrog and have a long scrog and have 1 branch running one way and the other the other way, so they would grow outwards down the middle towards end of scrog then the side branches off both of these branches would be trained outwards filling the scrog that way, so im thinking it would make a very good scrog, my problem is have i got the room to do a scrog, i think i have so ill measure up tomorrow and have a look, the plants crying out for a scrog, it would work perfect
Looking good out there. I should take a drive west to come check it out. It's only about an hour from here. hehe just kidding, the pics do fine.

Sorry but, reading run on sentences bug the shit out of me. Its a personal tic, so I apologize ahead of time. Could you use periods in your sentence structure? I sometimes read the posts out-loud to my blind roomie who is an MMJ aficionado and the Oscar to my Felix. Old Grumpy, lol. Anyway, I think you have a good plan, good luck and good gardening!!

Its all gooooood. Just fed my Magic Forest with BPN. BPN its Turbo Boost if Marijuana was KIT. Does that make me Micheal Night or Dr. Bonnie Barstow? Or Devin Hmm
Its been a minute since I fed them. I think they have sucked up most of the nutrients in the soil. The Blue Dream is looking spectacular for a 1 year old bush(cloned last season and vegged indoors till spring). The Others (clones seeded and harvested)are slow on the re veg, time I hope for a few colas. The Omrita Rx is almost ready to harvest. I am waiting till the tips of the nugs turn dark purple. This will give any seeds time to develop. The Romulan , Purple Urkle, cuttings have rooted in the ground and will be taking off soon. I have a few Strawberry Cough cuttings and one Blue Dream cutting that have done well and are going in the ground this week.

Some info on Marijuana pigmentation
Other than green, purple is the most common color in living marijuana. Triggered by seasonal temperature changes (just as trees change color in the fall), the vibrant hues of the mature pot plant are also the result of genetics and the creativity of the cultivator or breeder.
Indoors and outdoors, color can be influenced by deficiencies as well as by temperature. The intense green of chlorophyll usually overpowers other colors, such as red, orange and the coveted purple. Chlorophyll tends to break down late in the season, and a pigment known as anthocyanin is unmasked and allowed to show through.
For purple color to develop upon maturation, a strain must have the genetic potential to produce anthocyanin pigments(this changes the color to blue, red, or purple depending on pH). However, the color might never be shown if environmental conditions don't cause chlorophyll breakdown. Colombian and Hindu Kush strains tend to develop purple coloration when subjected to low night temperatures during the end of their life cycles. Purple Orangutan, originally from Afghanistan with heavy traits of the Hindu Kush, produces some of the darkest purple and blue tones found in any marijuana strain.
Another pigment called carotenoid is largely responsible for the yellow, orange, red and brown colors of marijuana. These colors begin to show in the leaves and calyxes of certain strains as the green chlorophyll color fades. Gold strains reveal underlying yellow and orange pigments as they mature. Red strains are usually closer to reddish brown in color, though certain carotenoid and anthocyanin pigments are nearly red, and streaks of these colors occasionally appear in the petioles (the slender stems supporting the leaflets) in ripe flowers. The red color in pressed, low-grade tops often consists of masses of reddish-brown dried pistils.
So, I believe outdoor grows will on average produce more pigmentation variation , temps get lower, and the sun is available to break down the chlorophyll faster and reveal the pigment. The question was which ones to choose. Grand Daddy Purps , Purple Urkle, are two that I know will change to purple on maturity outdoors. Also, I think anything Kush(Hindu, not O.G. aka "Ocean Grown",that's an L.A. (sativa dominate) strain) will have a greater chance of being purple.
Hope that helps.
great info, thanks, tells me a lot, i have got the cool night temps, and i did choose a berry bomb but it never lived, the picture of that looked really purple, ill have to have a look around and see what i can pick up, ill try herbies and see what he got going on

Update from the front lines, as people head out to SF's Cannabis Cup in Richmond (LOL), I will be chillin' @ home. Gardening, growing my medicine, and smoking it too. Mm,Mm good ol' homegrown.
I pulled the Strawberry Cough, Blue Cheese, Romulan, Purple Urkle that were going through re-veg. They proved my theory in a way. I believe if I grew them 4x their size then put them out in April. The re vegging will be worth the space and time, making two very decent harvests possible. I harvested the Omrita Rx, She was so ready. I do have 5 clones of her in the ground. I have three Blue Dream clones going. #1 is the year old bush, shes getting covered in little ripe nugs and re vegging . #2 is in the pot LST'd like a mofo. #3 is in the ground right next to my water melon plant. I have 5 Strawberry Cough clones 3" tall with teeny tiny nugs right now going into re veg. I have 2 Romulan clones, and 2 Purple Urkle clones both in the ground and growing nicely.
From what I saw, the Blue Cheese was the most willing and quickest to re veg after harvest. good thing she gave me hella seeds which I am now planting(5 min). Ciao!!!
