Hotboxz LST grow 2015

Hello everybody!

Getting a bit of a late start this year, but should still see some killer lady's from the improvements I made to the garden. Going to go LST crazy this year, just to have a bit of fun. Hope you enjoy!

Big one is 2 weeks old, small 1week old

The stran is unknown, been growing the same stuff for a few years. Might brake down and buy some seeds next year.

Growing slow, we got a lot of rain and its been in the 95s for a few days. She didn't like the transplant, but she seems to be coming back. Wanting until she gets a bit bigger before putting her in the ground.


Doing really good after I put her in the ground. Already smelling skunky. 3 and a half weeks old.



Outdoor cage I made for seedlings, so they can get use to the temperatures yet stay bug free. Mostly I just use it for over night.


The garden. Did a 120 gallon hole, filled with neutral potting soil, mixed with 3 cups lime, 100 pounds black kow firt, 100 pounds home made compost ( rabbit, chicken, turtle dung).

Weekly update. Not much going on, just veggin. I was wrong about how old the small one was, they are 2 weeks apart not 1.

2 weeks old. Going to transplant her into the ground next week.






4 weeks old

Weekly update. Had to go out of town for a few days. They did fine.

5 weeks old, doing great, bit of bug damage. Just part of growing outside.




3 weeks old. Still a bit small.


Got everything ready for the LST. Likely to start it next week.

looking good man, better late then never!

Weekly update, lots of rain, a little bug damage.

Week 6. Started LST. Doing great, no problems.








Week 4. Slow growing, but healthy.


Should have about 4 more weeks of veg until flowering starts.

Thanks! Yeah she is racing now. About 1 foot of growth in a week. She will be above the cage by next weeks update. Then the real fun begins.

Yea I put up a trellis up thinking it would be for stretch...think they will be there in the next week lol. Already added 2 cinderblocks to the greenhouse and will likely need to add 2 more lol.

Sweet baby jesus. Yeah that's a problem I wouldn't mind having.

lol yea its pretty good season so far My thread is in my sig for the outdoor, the indoor is going to, but i been focusing more on the outdoor lately.

Weekly update, week 7, supercroped.

5 weeks old. This one must be a sativa dom or I fucked it up somehow. It just doesn't want to grow.



7 weeks old, going like a speeding train wreck. I dropped the cage down on one side to start the LSTing sooner. I doubt the little one will get to far above the cage, so it won't really need it. Went ahead and supercroped her 2 days ago. Everything is looking great, getting rain every 3-4 days. I have only had to water them once. Only real problem is battling the bugs, but I have that under control.

for bugs and general preventive I have found a preventive regiment is key. I spray neem midweek at sunset, and every other weekend alternate spinosadad and greencure. Covers pretty much the majority of the pests/molds and done right, wont hurt the local bees.

to clarifiy, one weekend i do green cure, the next weekend spino. So they get green cure every 2 weeks, and spino every 2 weeks. I swear by spino personally....kills pretty much anything that is feeding on the foliage, and wont kill what isnt eating it.

The bugs aren't really a big deal. I have a huge vegetable garden, so I'm use to dealing with the types in my area.

yea same here. Seems those damn Japanese beetles and leaf miners are my biggest pests. Oh yea, I BT every 3rd week to lol. We have TONS of moths and butterflies around so I am hoping for no bud worms!

Japanese beetles are my biggest problem in the veg garden. There so thick here its like a biblical plague. They don't mess with my weed tho, at least I haven't seen any of them around. I'm sure I would know if they did. They might leave behind just a stem with a tiny Japanese flag at the top.

Yea I am startin a,massive,flo k of chickens. I've heard from many farmers chickens reek havoc on populations.

Posting for updates.
