I’ve got a few up to around 7 foot as of today - can’t wait till they start stacking juicy frosty nugs and stretching their legs even more

. By far my favorite strain to smoke . With 19 plants all ranging from 5.5 to 7 foot , it’s pretty safe to say I shouldn’t run out for the year ‍

So I transplanted 4 today , and even in coco and 10 gallon fabric pots , they were essentially all roots . Dug a 3x3x2.5 foot hole , sprinkled some dynomyco at the bottom , dropped the root ball into the hole , soaked in a 6.0 ph solution of recharge and water , and transplanted . They’re slightly shorter about 1.5-2 ft , but I have a feeling 2-3 weeks of veg as well as the stretch and my transplant will 100% pay off and allow these to reach some pretty substantial sizes . Only thing that sucks is I had already lollipopped them , and now that they’re buried deeper - I may have to remove some more growth in 3-4 weeks

Man, I would love to be able to grow outdoors. It gets so damned hot here and the humidity stays in the 90+% range with sparse breezes. Only strains I've seen take it are(mostly)Mexican sativas. Good luck! Nice to see somebody doing it outside. Ain't no way in hell I'd get a hole that big in this compacted,rocky, red clay without a backhoe. Glad you have the ability to do it. Double points for effort there!

Thanks !
I’ve been doing this for 20 years - hauling bales of pro mix back in the swamps - it’s nice not having to hide it anymore , but the fact that the price has dropped 75% isn’t ‍

we actually used to do floating buckets in the swamps . Double 5 gallon buckets drilled at the base ,dropped inside a thick piece of styrofoam that had a circular hole cut , painted green. The ring on the buckets would seat tight to the styrofoam , and we would tie them off to trees , or beaver huts on the back sides of swamps . Some of our biggest outdoor plants were grown this way and they absolutely loved that nasty swamp water and needed no maintenance.

we’ve had an extremely dry summer . I bet we haven’t had more than 10 rainy days in the last 2+ months . Almost everyday here has been 75-88 degrees . It’s been a great year , but typically the issues arise in September towards the end of flowering. I’ll be going out early in the morning , with a leaf blower to dry my ladies out

my GG was insanely resistant to any sort of bud rot and Pm last year , and it was pretty wet with minimal care . Our biggest problem are these damn caterpillars “Monterey bt spray once a week has stopped that “ , and Japanese Beatles that are the damn thanos of the insect world “

I’ve trapped tens of thousands , and have convinced my neighbors to hang traps so I don’t bring swarms of them in here to munch on my girls
