So far it's just the starts for me. Not all of those are mine, and not all of mine will grow up on my property. As soon as the weather gets into the 80's my garage would over-heat, so that's when I'll have to move them out. Lot's of people do their starts in 4" pots or party cups, but I go with one gallon because I've had springs that were so long and cold I left them in the pots for a month or more. A little more soil gives me more options. I guess it's more of an issue with autos, because if they stay too long in a small pot they can get stunted, at least that's what I've read.

Good idea, mj always needs support.

I'm going to try my first gravity feed irrigation system. Something I always thought about trying but never got to lol. The 5 gal will be ideal for my set up. A simple U line with plugs on the opposite ends https://depts.washington.edu/propplnt/Chapters/Gravity fed irrigation System.htm

I was wondering how to control dripping, obviously the smaller the pipping holes are the slower the liquid is allowed to flow out. But if you want extra slow, barely visible trickle over 2-3 hours or more. To get a nice even soil soak. Am I right to say that simply takes controlling the air pressure inside the reservoir? The lid can act as a valve, less air in less liquid out. If I'm missing anything please let me know.

Ill only have 10 or 14 plants tops in two rows. But its still a good bit of watering and feeding when you gotta do it a couple times a week. I should of made a watering system way sooner..but I got bongsmilie high lol.

wont need any man made irrigation today, so no rush. It went from 30c sun all day, to 10c with heavy rain, then wind will kick up later. I almost put them in the ground yesterday without checking forecast. Ding, I know where the golden horseshoe went.

Just finished seeking shelter lol

My season is off to a good start, I'm curious to see how I do with my first seed grow, as well as my tent setup. I have the same 2 strains growing in 3 different setups. Tent, outdoor potted and outdoor in the ground. So far all are doing great, and in varying stages of growth and size. Ive focused a lot on LST and super cropping, and they have all been topped multiple times. I started out training all the branches outwards to get the interior of the plants to grow straight up. I then started bending and twisting the branches to get them horizontal. All is coming together as planned to this point. I'm gonna kick the tent plants into flower here in the next couple weeks after my most recent topping grows out a bit. They'll be in the dark during the daylight hours to reduce the heat in there during the hottest part of the day. It should be interesting considering I don't have any temp control in the tent. My 2 potted plants are in smaller containers for another few weeks until I transplant them into 15 gallon cloth pots. 20210525_073005.jpg20210525_073009.jpg20210525_073124.jpg20210527_185158.jpg20210529_131437.jpg20210529_131447.jpg20210529_131501.jpg20210529_131547.jpg20210529_131703.jpg

Gotta love Oregon, six day spread...

One of the downsides of autos, bad weather can stunt them and they don't have the recovery time. For me the good still out weights the bad, nothing is perfect.

Mirin' your setup there ducks. Well done bro.

I got some more done last afternoon. They look at home, straight in the earth where they got'ta be.

The transpant droop gradually went away on the couple oddballs that caught a touch.

10/10 root masses stayed perfectly together...lol that almost never happens.

PH, mostly 6.7. wish I remembered dolomite lime sometime earlier so it can do its part keeping it nice and stable. Late, better than never.

Lots of castings, tons, and a couple more. Never go without them. I always go over board with those cause I know, and it becomes more and more obvious throughout the entire life of the plants. So heap them in there.

Side from that bat guano eventually makes it in there. I've a short list of favorite supplements I will be picking up, from Botanicare lines. It became a staple over time, it works, it shows too. The grow, blooms, cal-max, silica blasts. When I'm feeling sassy, a shot or two of the liquid K. By this stage in my growing career I have a whole bunch tailored and usually don't stray far from what I use, much or at all. I know works awesome for me year after year. Well, well for the plants, and then me :weed:


On with the pici show. There from two cameras ffiw. The mystic hazy looking shots are from my bumper phone (dropped 99 x) that no longer functions like it should. But do like that effect it created.

That's about it. The soil looks so fluffy and inviting for plant life. I better stay out of there. I almost crawled on in it for a nap after working so hard last night.

Fun fun.

Holy Heat Wave! It was damn hot today.

The Ethiopian is really perking up. She likes the recent weather. It's got 4 main branches. I'm going to transplant into a 5 gallon and pulle each top over to keep it a short bush if I can. I can't really put it in anything bigger because I'll probably be finishing it off indoors under lights and I don't want too big of a container. Although I do have a dolly.

I think I'll be fine with a five gallon. I'm pretty good at growing big plants in small containers.

Crazy hot! and I'm still trying to figure out this new grow space. It got hotter than I would have liked in there today, but only one in 14 couldn't handle it and had to be moved out and under a shady tree. The rest just tracked the sun east to west in a slight lean, praying the whole time. Maybe they were praying for air conditioning...

They can take it. And the humidity is really low. But on and on they grow.

My Shelterlogic greenhouse cover is on it's last days and you can't replace the one I have. It's in a location that doesn't get the best sun and right where my covered outdoor kitchen is going. I was going to just move it and cover it with poly and then I decided I was going to build a structure. I looked at the price of lumber and went "Damn" and decided that I'll just reuse and cover the frame with poly for now. Lumber prices will go down.

I'm also not entirely sure of what structure I want to build so taking the extra time to look and think about options won't hurt. I hate it when I jump into something without thinking everything through completely and then wish I had done things differently but it's too late.

The price for just the lumber in the background of your photo is ridiculous these days.

I got the window AC out of the shed today and got it all set up- turned it on and it smells musty as hell :roll:

My one little plant is doing well though
My lady just asked me tonight to put the AC in the window. My AC is also currently in a shed.

It's going to cool down though so I'm in no hurry.

Wow beautiful slender lady. Yea they love more sun as much as you can throw at them.

The bucket would be of less concern to me than height. By flowering time in this part of the hemisphere there is plenty of sun and hot days to get sativa plants hella tall. Thats the easy part.

Is it true Sativa plants stretch 3x as much as its indy and hybrid counterparts?

I can see why people become intrigued with Sativas and want to try growing them despite our hostile fall weather. They inspire many curiosities. I'd like to grow some.

Some sativa's stretch more than others but yeah they can get tall. I'm going to do some training to try and keep it as short as possible. I've been through this before. It's a hassle bringing a plant inside to finish under light but the payoff is worth it. I'm thinking when the time comes this Ethiopian will fill my 4x4 tent.
