long story short-

friend of mine was ready to trash it. It was pushing his legal limit, to tall to flower in his room, and wanted to make sure I got clones before he chopped it....

I figured it would be an awesome candidate for a 10'+ outdoor plant.....and still mother clones for months ahead.

Just a few more weeks for the weather and the outdoor garden soil area ammendments to do....and the fence- for the heard of dear living in the backyard and the occasional "wanderer" that could become a "ripper" if I am not lucky....

Training of the top 4' started a few days ago....the bottom 1/2 will have plenty of time to grow up and around till October I am assuming.

You might as well give it a go , I wish you well but mother plants never preform that well, especially if they are older with hard stems , the cell structure as a plant gets older becomes hard , they become solid and then no longer uptake water and nutrients to feed the buds like we would like , but if it's jist going to go to waste you mog2ht as well get something out of it. Good luck

Not true I dunno where you got that info but it is dead wrong. If you take a old mother put her in the spring sun she will rejuvenate so to speak. I have some plant's that are well over 20 years old if the begin to genetically drift spring sun has brought them back every time...

Just like a monster-crop reverting to veg... New growth doesn't have those hard stems, and will help against the wind when moved outside.

I got my information from growing decades. Yes a plant can reveg. No it's never as good as a fresh plant with hollow stems , and no I do not like to reveg anything. Its your plant, its just going to go to waste , might as well , good luck , and no, I have no idea what i am talking about , i am only running 6000 plants this year. 20190510_153537.jpg 20190510_152219.jpg

So are you saying a person that only grows a few plants at a time knows nothing? Seems a non-sequitur. You could grow 6000 mediocre plants, while the "micro" grower can tend to individual plants daily. Not saying you grow shit plants, just that quantity doesn't mean a thing.

Not butt-hurt at all. Just pointing out that your "justification" for being right - growing 6000 plants etc. - is not a valid argument for why you are right.

Ooops - wrong dude ;)

This mother plant is only 3 months old so far, and has been in veg the entire time. It's just been let grow tall, thick and healthy.

It was basically send it outside to finish its annual life cycle, after memorial day of course- being up here in Michigan.

I thought a lot of north climate outdoor short season growers typically started early indoors to get the real big 1 plant yields? Cant wait to watch it do its thing. It will be growing with my GG4 and some Grandaddy purples- both from seed.

Gorilla grew back there before unprotected very close to garage line and tree line. Quality was awesome, yield not so much....clay substrate....

Will be in raised beds with good soil and in the open more this time around being a legal grow finally.

Looks awesome out there.

I would have 12 4x4x2 raised sip beds out there and make a literal forest of 15 footers.

Thanks for the daydream break. ;-)

12 4x4x2 beds is exactly the plan

The candyland is 5' now, 1 GG4 is 3 1/2', and the rest of the gg4 and GDP are about 18" at the moment.

Should be a good start. Will start all 12 earlier next year, instead of just the couple. Was a bit difficult getting strains in my area for a bit and got behind.

Thx for tagging along.

Took them all outside yesterday to get some real wind and sun acclimation. Mostly got a good soaking of rain and high winds. Day 2 outside and all still standing and happy.

The giant, now 5' tall with top training, took the worst of the wind and rain's
- especially the lower long branches, but all is well.
