I am 6'2" noob standing by my sativa. She is 6'6" from the top of the bucket.
I read all kinds of info on 5 gallon grows and never thought this would happen. She is still flowering with 50% clear and 50% cloudy trichs. I lost 2 branches to moving & windy mishaps. I have to move her about to keep her hidden and in at least 5hrs sun. She is a sail in the wind also but I live and learn as I go.
I just finished processing a 5'6" Indica @ about 10% amber that is killer and tastes great that yielded 5 oz of cured. Some of the buds were so heavy when it rained it broke branches. Never seen roots at the drain holes. Root ball was 1/2 the top portion of the bucket.
Both grown in the formula below. Seeds were given to me out of a collected street stash. I started with 18 seedlings. 9 went male. Gave 4 away. Deer got 2, one stunted.
Painted 5 gallon buckets. I used plywood to shade them in the hot months. 5/16 holes drilled every 6" around the base.
90% Bacto Premium Potting soil.
10% Wal-Mart processed manure.
Miracle Grow Tomato when vegging. Dosage as directed on box every 10 days.
Miracle Grow Bloom Booster when flowering. Dosage as directed on box every 10 days.
Coffee grounds once.
Epsom salt treatment once.
1 gallon of distilled water every AM.
No roots showing at the holes (yet)
Cannot wait to do it again next year with better nutes.
