shit man you got yourself a pretty massive harvest comin up! as soon as i got enough beans i was gonna try that, 10 seeds planted every other week would be sweet but i got some breeding to do since im not gonna buy the beans off sannies.
that sounds like an impressive strain too, they've got a nice vigor to them, and damn they're only like 2 1/2 weeks? nice! you can pull some miracles with those shop lights man.
and are all these strains semi-autos or only a couple of em?
ya i always like a big crop !! it has taken along time to breed the strains to be done when ya want them to be. i always use shop lights cuase i got over 35 sets inside going all the time and the strains have semi auto in them and early strains also. the strain in the pic's is used only in swamps way out in nowhere land cuase they get 12-14 ft just vegging here in maine and ya need a ladder to check them .hahaha Plants 016.jpgPlants 010.jpg

shop lights work great for me, ive used t8s for years with no problems, if you do it right with the right spectrum and a good distance you can veg them pretty good in 4-5 weeks.
shitttt you got some trees though, i havent seen plants like that for years. i see why you need trimmers now haha.
those are some sweet genetics your dealin with though. how many weeks do you wait to plant these girls outside?

i'll be putting them out after the last moon in april ,first part of may this year .i usually wait till june first but the dirt is warmer this year and no snow so i believe it will be drier than usual. i still use grow bags anyway.

nice, i started outdoors a bit earlier this year so they could maybe get that stretch when they think its time to flower but hopefully the light time will get longer before they're to far in. my girls starting to flower now, so hopefully i can clone her before she goes into full flower. and it has been pretty dry down here this year, but the weather got cold yesterday which i dont get since its april. temps have been wack this year. and you use 3 gals right? i usually do but ive been thinking about switching to 5 gals this year if im not transplanting them into the ground.

This is beyond impressive and I am most definitely going to follow this the way through. Best of luck in all aspects, what do you use to repel SLUGS and other bugs that will eat your beautiful crops up? mine got devastated a few years back when slugs went to town on them. I've tried the copper wire rings to no avail, Beer in a burried soup can worked really well attracting all the slugs, but I feel like I am DRAWING slugs closer by doing this, they will be drawn to the beer first, and then ... " oh whats this, some lush green new growth... omnomnomnom" anyways, will be checking back frequently u maniac. peace

looks moist in those picture haha, thats good though no body will want to walk through that sht so don't have to worry as much. Looks great , i'll have tot ry the lime this year and look into slug dope.do u end up fencing in the plants when they get larger to deter deer and other animals from poking around? I am debating on whether to make a fence around my plots or not...

an ol bud of mine told me he use to train the plants to grow inside of barbed wire, said a deer tried to attack it but it tried to bite the barbed wire attached to the stalk, he said there was a break in the stem but blood was all over the barbed wire and his fan leaves haha

haha right, i was asking him if hes been eating the deer who've been stuck in the barbed wire, or if the blood from the deer effected the taste of his bud(knowing him, he would smoke it anyways, hed probably think its badass cause there blood on it if anything lol).
might be worth a try though, there might be some natural remedies that might be a bit less messy.
