My 6'7" Outdoor 5 Gallon Bucket Grow Sativa Pic

I am 6'2" noob standing by my sativa. She is 6'6" from the top of the bucket.
I read all kinds of info on 5 gallon grows and never thought this would happen. She is still flowering with 50% clear and 50% cloudy trichs. I lost 2 branches to moving & windy mishaps. I have to move her about to keep her hidden and in at least 5hrs sun. She is a sail in the wind also but I live and learn as I go.

I just finished processing a 5'6" Indica @ about 10% amber that is killer and tastes great that yielded 5 oz of cured. Some of the buds were so heavy when it rained it broke branches. Never seen roots at the drain holes. Root ball was 1/2 the top portion of the bucket.

Both grown in the formula below. Seeds were given to me out of a collected street stash. I started with 18 seedlings. 9 went male. Gave 4 away. Deer got 2, one stunted.

Painted 5 gallon buckets. I used plywood to shade them in the hot months. 5/16 holes drilled every 6" around the base.
90% Bacto Premium Potting soil.
10% Wal-Mart processed manure.
Miracle Grow Tomato when vegging. Dosage as directed on box every 10 days.
Miracle Grow Bloom Booster when flowering. Dosage as directed on box every 10 days.
Coffee grounds once.
Epsom salt treatment once.
1 gallon of distilled water every AM.
No roots showing at the holes (yet)

Cannot wait to do it again next year with better nutes.

Very nice! That's a lotta bud from one surviving plant.

nice job fella. enjoy.

Thanks, the Indica's buds were larger and more dense looking in comparison. I had to put splints on some of her limbs.
I am hoping the Sativa's buds will thicken. Its towards the end so I dunno know.

I am super subjective to anxiety and the Indica @ 10% amber has no ill effects. I have read Indicas are like this anyways.
I have to take only a single toke, and so small you can barely see smoke upon exhale and I do not hold it in long. I get a mean ass buzz and no Anxiety. Couch lock comes several hours later. Nice. I guess if I went more amber couch lock would come on sooner eh?
Below is a pic of the Indica top weeks before harvest. It does it little justice but shows the density.
