the sun's in my eyes but here's a few teasers. i'm still amazed at how well they grow when you water them. they want more food though. :mrgreen:

dam fdd you make it look so dam easy haha, so i was wondering by the looks of your yard. Do your plants get sun from 6am to 3 pm direct sunlight then the rest of the day indirect sunlight?? Also what is the point of those huge tent things u put over your plants? incase it rains?? looks like enough sun hits the plants with it over.


thanks later bro:blsmoke:

Hey Fdd, how big are your girls before you put them outside, and when did you put them outside.
My girls have been outside a 1.5 months and they just recently seem to be getting larger quickly.

Damn alot closer then i thought, is the offer still open ?:weed:
fdd damn you your plants seem to be growing a shit load faster then mine, whats your normal feeding schedule ?

No brother. Im in the carolinas. I just like to make trips to visit the west coast a lot:mrgreen:



You arent the only one who usees lowered ground to lower plant canopies



My bag seed are in a patch like that. I let them grow straight up in the pit and when they got to about 12" and getting nice branching started I lst'd them with some bailing wire stuck in the dirt and hooked on the plant to hold its top near the edge of the hole. They branched upwards so that the canopy really starts @ ground level and then bushes out and upwards.
To me the advantages is that to air pigs it looks like something flat on the ground when it starts. As they bush out they fill the patch to make it look solid.
For you it would take down some of that height .
You could always just put another screen on them right before they get flowering good but @ your rate now, thats gonna be pretty high up in the air.
I guess a plant that big really cuts down on the point of scrog. It does seem to help side branching amazingly though.

I cant wait to see the ears of magical corn that appears on those stalks this fall:mrgreen:

i fed heavy twice last week. i foliar feed way back in the beginning. it appears my natural soil is high in nitrogen. they really haven't needed much of anything. i just started watering last week. i will water every 3 days or so now, feeding as the leaves start to ask for food. :mrgreen:

Thats usually how i like to feed them, when they ask i feed :mrgreen: hmm I look at your plants and they look like bush's but im guessing its just the strain your growing, I fimmed all my plants and there all showing new growth except for my widow skunk plant, there's no new growth where i fimmed her at :( but im sure another week will go by and she'll be growing like normal. Im trying to get some little trays for the germinated seeds i have but i think im gonna go with some red dixie cups.

they seem to stall for a few weeks when i first put them out. then all the sudden they just take off. they are all growing "inches" a day. the two biggest ones are up to my chin and they are topped and tied down. i can only imagine what they would be if i had let them go. :blsmoke:

Oh ok, In your opinion what technique is more efficient topping or fimming ?:hump:
