I started my clones in 3 gallon pots using living soil they were put outside June 1st does anyone have an idea of what to expect on harvest? I’m doing all organic so I make compost teas to feed and r.o water for non feed days I did some lst on them except for the 2 reveg clones I did. It’s going to be about a 10-11 week veg and I will be transplanting them into the ground with amended soil 2 weeks before flower starts. Thanks for any info you guys may have. Another thing this is my first outdoor grow and first organic grow as well.
Any advice will help

IMO, I would put them in the ground sooner than later. 2 weeks before flower is a little late to be transplanting.

just what i was going to say, it gives them more time to estsblish root growth into the soil and wll give you a larger harvest, so the sooner you plant them out the better. go go

Get those girls in the ground right away. The sooner they get established in the ground, the stronger root system they will get. Then they will really drink up your compost tea.
I do recommend against RO water and would just use non-softened tap water. The plants get a lot of trace minerals from the water that will help prevent nutrient deficiency. RO water is stripped of these, same with distilled. It will work, but may affect growth

I like that concept of not using r.o but for me I’d rather not give my baby’s tap water because of the chlorine with I believe my tap water has the kind that doesn’t evaporate with Time idk but I think it’s called chlormain or something but I know any form of chlorine kills beneficial microbes which I’m trying to excel and grow going organic the calcium and mag come from my compost so I don’t feel I need to supplement with that for using tap water idk
I use mycorrhizae is seaweed extract worth the buy if I already have this? For transplanting

its my understanding that the fungi are benaficial to the soil and helping it to be converted to food for the plant, aklong with other benaficial actions i dont know about yet.
i allways use seaweed for seedlings to fu;lly grown plants and i use it for transplanting to prevent shock, just follow the instructions properly.
the fungi willre establish them selve in no time at all and work together with the seaweed solution.
as for how much you will get from harvest, it depends on space, condition of ythe ground and what type of soil your working with.
Cant you collect rain water for your women? i only water with rain

Honestly, I think all the hype about tap water for the most part is just that hype. I am on city water and water right from the hose. Consistently grow pound plus plants.

Just a couple of neat, cheap water tricks...
If you take your water with chlorine/chloromine and throw a handful of organics in, the oxidants will react with the organic material.
If you add hardwood ash to water and just leave it sitting still, CO2 from the atmosphere will react with the hydroxides. The pH will balance (about 7.2). It could take a day or two to complete but this adds potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. to the water.
I use RO with added minerals, through a fish tank, and to the gardens. In sandy ground and with a well high in sodium, it allows me to water as much as I want to on a dry year.

If you want them to yield large, get them in the ground. Make a pad of manure and mulch the diameter you want the plants to be.

I’m going to be pumping water from a man made pond was thinking of using rain water but I don’t have a structure to collect the water as of now but definitely will be in the future
Thanks I will definitely use this info I was unaware of much appreciated
Lol total weight or per plant?

Pond water is usually great, but don’t stir up any of the black muck at the bottom with your pump. Only take the clear water. That stinky black anaerobic muck contains plant pathogens and tends to make soil poor for a year. It is possible to melt plants with that stuff.
Thanks for the heads up should I use that muck away pellets or w.e they’re called?
