my six for this year - tangerine dream, chronic, brains damage, grand daddy purple, girl scout cookies, and blue dream. about ready to pull the tangerine dream out if she doesn't get it together it didn't like some cold weather we had a month ago and she hasn't come right yet. anybody else had experience with TD outside?
Shit man, I tried to germ a GDP seed, and she didn't make it, so I did a Purple Kush instead.
I like how your GDP is so bushy and short (short bushes are good:-P).
I'm trying to keep mine down below 5', but I LST'd mine and vegged for 60 days, so she and my Sour D are both 4' tall already, and only a month from flip outside.June22PK_zpsc13bce7a.jpg

Not necessary to put them in the ground, but if you do, I would suggest a raised bed or making your holes a little bigger than the diameter of a 5 gal. pot-maybe 20-24" wide would be fine, and at least 12" deep.
Personally, I would just make their final home a 5 gal. pot, unless you're trying to grow monsters.
In pots, it's easy to spin the pot every couple days, so you can control the sun, (all sides getting morning, and all sides getting afternoon.)
By monster, I mean more than 6 foot tall.........
My last one was 3' tall, with lots of LST, and filled the diameter of a 5 gal. bucket, but the roots only went 1/2 deep, not all the way to bottom.
I've got 2 outside now in 5 gal. buckets, they are 4' tall after a month of flowering, and not even close to rootbound yet.
.the top hairs on the flowering femal are turning purple and pink ... Is that normal or is it finishing up ?

Usually when they get close to done, they turn brownish and appear to get real short, but your strain might be inclined to do the diff. color, IDK.
Can you post some pics close up for us?

Hey there 420mon....exceptional style of growing... I love the way you get your flowers to grow(structure)... In all my years I still need to develop my branches to do that. I am stuck with the x-mass like style of outdoor growing. Do you have any advice?

Greets, AfroRabbit.
Learn the art of "super cropping" basically pinch and pop the stem then lightly twist and let it fall and make the plant grow everything outwards. If you do this, you must start tying and supporting early as the more mon pinch and bend outwards the heavier the branches get. The pinch once learned is really easy, you do not really bend it at all and learn how to pinch it the direction you want it to go. Once you pinch it, it shd fall over and look "broke" LEAVE IT ALONE NOW for at least 2 days before tying it, keep repeating once a week. It is very importation that once you pinch and it falls over to LEAVE it alone, if you try to "fix or move it this way or just move it real fast it will break. Also there is an art to it, one you Pinch it is almost like a "pop" you can guide it carefully and insted of letting it just fold give it a slight twist when folding and it does not have that "broke" folded look and is more of a twist that will form into a knuckle where you pinched and twisted.

Mon will take a few pictures this evening to show you Before and After, BTW only "super crop" AFTER the sun has gone down, never do it in the morning or while the sun is hitting them. So pinch once a week, maybe on Mondays evenings, then tie on Wednesday mornings etc. It is very easy once you learn how to do it, mon can do this with his eyes closed and one hand now. You will break a few branches learning, but practice makes perfect!!!

Remember to keep it simple, pinch/pop it, slight twist and let it fall, then just leave it alone!!! Will try to have some pictures on here by tomorrow of a few, so you get a better idea. Hope this helps anyone wanting bigger bushy plants.......Peace
