2020 MASSACHUSETTS outdoor grow Thread!

[Zeez]

hit me up next time you're up my way, it's looking a lot more interesting out there now ... it's a good time to grab some clones off these if there's anything you want to run

... I also found this really nice looking Peanut Butter Breath male ... i'm gonna pair it with the Bubba Hash that's killing it in the greenhouse right now, so far it's my favorite plant ever... hopefully I'll create something that'll do really well outdoors for years to come

Plants looking good Warfox

Thanks Zeez. They are stretching like crazy, it’s truly a glorious sight. They don’t smell too strongly yet, though I’m sure THAT will change in a month or
two! Do you guys ever smell them from the front of your house etc?

Plants looks real nice Dunphy, and it appears that you have them supported like Fort Knox, a lot better than I can say lol...I better look into that...

Thanks man wish I had a better camera hard to see whats going on with the trellis netting and green background blurs right into everything, But will have one for flower.

And yes... lol Ive had people tell me they always smell bud / nonsmoked nug/skunky smell everytime they drive by my house (500+ ft away from the road. Some nights ill catch a wiff through an open window 2-300 feet away especially on like humid or rainy fall nights and stuff... I love it, thats the one thing Im worried about with massachusetts law because it states the plants cant be a nuisance to neighbors... I've got great neighbors to my immediate sides but further away is trouble (also 2 cops not far away lol)

I’m pretty sure it just can’t be seen from the street without the aid of binoculars or air craft. Smell is not mentioned I’ve heard that smell is not probable cause to search I believe

Just wanted to share with you guys how my ladies are looking. I did a bunch of super cropping last night so I can get them to remain lower in height but also build that thicker stem just before they go into flower.

Should I keep super cropping/topping as needed up until the last week of July? I’m assuming they are transitioning into flower by first or second week of August and I don’t want to stress them out as they are entering flower?

I’m growing in soil with fabric pots and I’m using dry amendments. I’ll be adding a top dress of a mix of Jobe’s tomato fertilizer, Dr. Earth Flower girl and worm castings either this weekend or next weekend. I’ll also water it in with some Alaska fish fertilizer and Morbloom when I add the top dress so they get that instant feeding through liquid fertilizer.

Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hell yeah bro that looks awesome. Should work perfect and allow enough air flow through the "tunnel" Might steal that for a separate project.

Nope, now would be the latest I would go though I'd try to get them in the ground by next week or two.

Cant wait to see how they look in flower. Keep up the great work.

Cheers

Mine don't smell much yet either. Every once in a while I get a wiff of dankness but thats about it.

I've been topping like crazy to get them bushy. Otherwise they'll outgrow the house.

 

[bubbie420]

When does it flower around here? I think last season it began mid August, so would it be safe for me to do a final topping?

 

[Zeez]

I'm still topping them.

I gave the entire garden a deep watering today; thank God for mulch. I sure hope we get some rain soon though, because my lawn is beginning to resemble a well done McDonalds hash brown, and feel just as crispy.

The close-ups are of one of my bag-seed (SFV OG I am told) that started flowering middle of this month or so. In Veg it kind of smelled like burnt plastic/rubber with some fuel on top. The flowers don’t really smell...like anything yet, though I know that is sure to change.

As far as indoor vs. outdoor bud: do you guys prefer one over the other, and if so - why? Personally, some of the best smoke I’ve ever had has come from outdoor; that’s not to say indoor isn’t amazing, it’s just that more often than not the bud that makes me stop and take notice has been outdoor. But maybe that’s just because I know it’s outdoor and can be guilty of a bigotry of low expectations.

My experiment of putting 6 plants into one 8x4ft has turned into an absolute beast. The plants are growing a extra foot on each side and as much as I try to train horizontally they are still over 3-4 ft tall. Safe to say next year I’ll stick with 2-3 plants in one bed.
