this year i am going for 1 lb dry off of 1 plant i know that i have my work cut out for me. please give me some tips and tricks for hitting that goal. and if you all have a strain in mind that will hit this mark that i can order from attitude then feel free to tell me that also. i know that i am going to have my work cutout for me but i like a challenge. also i am not in cali and my grow season ends by the last of October maybe the 1st week of November.

Any seed from Attitude could be pounders, minus the autoflowers. I'd go with regular seeds instead of fem, better plants overall. As long as you have enough sunlight, organic soil and/or nutrients or whatever, water, tea, etc. Whatever your recipe is. Oh yeah, sunlight. In order to get pounders, you need like 8-12hours of direct sun. Did I mention sunlight? Make sure you start at the beginning of the season to get as much veg in cause it sounds like it's cold up there.

Rule #1 for a five pound plant: one cubic foot of prepped soil per ounce of desired final yield. :weed:

In your case (one pound plant) you will want to prep a garden with 16 cubic feet of tilled, organically fortified, ph adjusted soil/grow mix mixture.

If the soil is halfway decent, you can mix half native soil with half peat-based grow mix (your choice). This will save you from carrying in so much grow mix, which can leave trails and is very bad for security. The grow mix and the soil must be mixed together very well, preferably with a mini-tiller.

So now, you have a 4 foot x 4 foot hole, 1 foot deep. Next comes the added, organic amendments......

Good Luck

Is that you in the pic vinny? I can see why walking water in is bad security, you would smash the hidden trail and open it about 2-3 wide, big guy.

i grew two 16oz plants this year

one was ak48 from nirvanna

one was Northern Lights Blue from delicious seeds

the holes were 4 feet wide x 3 feet deep

hole size is the most important factor

One addition here:

When I say grow mix, I do not mean the expensive, brand name, bagged organic mixes. Buy your soilless mix from the local landscape or greenhouse supplier and add your own amendments...my example out here in chicago is Heco mix. I purchase it, from a landscape supply company, by the 6 cu ft bale for $25 a bale. It is just a finely ground peat moss, with some added perlite for aeration, nothing else, nothing fancy, but the peat holds water almost as well as water absorbing polymers, + it "softens" up the topsoil mix, making it easier for the roots to penetrate.
