New pics will be coming soon. Most of our plants were destroyed by a
really bad thunderstorm. But since we had been sprouting so many were
not in that bad of shape. We have about 25 plants above ground right
now with about half looking great. Some of the plants that aren't doing so
well are left over from the storm. Our new location gets direct sunlight the
whole day which is good. Thunderstorms having been hitting our area
every two days or so. But when it isn't raining the temperatures have
been in the mid 90's with lots of humidity so the soil is drying out and we
have been watering almost daily. Since the rain has done nothing but kill
our plants thus far we have been covering all the plants everytime it rains.
We have covered all of the bases when it comes to pests and the needs
of the plants so we are confident this grow will really start to take off.

Sorry about not posting for a while, ive been on a trip while my friend
managed everything perfectly. The plants are looking good. We saw that
some damage had been caused by bugs. Mostly white flies, leafhoppers,
and ants. One plant had its leaf chomped pretty bad.
If any advice can be given about anything please post!
Photo 1: 21 plants above ground that look strong.
Photo 2: Our biggest plant that was dead before we used superthrive.
fuckin worked perfect.
Photo 3: Some strong looking plants. The bottom left one has some spots
on the bottom right fan leaf due to gay bugs.
Photo 4: Close up of a strong plant.
Photo 5: Beauty with a small spot but were not concerned.
Photo 6: Wavy leaves? not sure why they are doing that. sorry about it
not being in focus.
Photo 7: Another nice plant.
Photo 8: This is our setup right before a small storm came. We use the
ties from the chicken wire to tie the trash bags over the top with a stick
in the middle to make a tent effect.
Photo 9: That deer better not fuck around with those plants or ill cry.
Photo 10: The only severe bug damage that we had.
Photo 11: Neem Oil solution that we sprayed on the plants. While
spraying, tons of white flies flew off that werent even visible before we
sprayed it.
Photo 12: Group after being sprayed with the neem oil. Also set out some
ant traps for the few that we have around the site.
ENJOY!

Werd nice lil update man! Looking good so far.

we have used plastic bags before when its been really muddy but we normally just walk on the grass so footprints are not a huge deal as of now.

today was a special day. our first transplant took place this morning. we
filled up a triple lined trash bag with 3 parts ffof and 1 part perlite. the
plant we chose to transplant was our oldest which is named big sally.
she's goin on 3 1/2 weeks from seed. we put 4 stakes in the ground with
chicken wire around it. first it was just standing up straight then we
decided to just fold the edges over to make sure no fucking deer would
get to it. we gave it some water with superthrive before transplanting so
it could reach its root system out wide and deep. im pretty sure with the
good amount of sunlight she is going to recieve at the creek that we will
see significant growth. here are some pics of today.
Photo 1: crop today. most looks good but we sadly have a large amount
of leaf hoppers all over so we will have to spray more neem sometime
soon.
Photo 2: Sally after getting her transplant. the rootball was pretty
developed.
Photo 3: After chicken wire is put around 4 sticks shoved in the mud.
Comments are welcome

First transplant went very smooth. The plant has grown quite a bit over the past two days. We plan on buying nutes/food in the next few days some of the plants are looking hungry. New pictures will be sometime next week.

at $25 per bag I think U might be wasting the FF ocean forest soil.
I use a 3 part soil mixture (FF ocean forest, Miracle Gro potting mix, and scotts perlite)
Ocean forest is the primary ingredient, it has the major nutes AND the micronutes needed.
the miracle gro is added so I dont have to keep checking on the plants and constantly feeding them
and I add perlite for aeration purposes...
for nutrients make sure U pick one up with the micro nutrients in it or U may have problems in flowering. . (remember: cannabis is a very strong plant and doesnt need much nutrients to stay healthy. simply watering them every few days, and feeding them NPK nutes once per week, and CaMG every other week is quite enough)
Natures Nectar is a good brand, it automatically adjusts pH so U never have to check it. and Flora Nova is good as well.
I never tried FF Grow Big or Tiger Bloom but I know for a fact they are top of the line as well.
good luck

thanks for all of the advice man i really appreciate it. im pretty sure we will be using foxfarm grow big nutes. the soil works so well im banking on the nutes giving us the same result.

I'm looking forward to the pictures. In the future you should probably try to avoid using a white trash bag. It might not be a bad idea to cover it up with some sticks and brush.
