[Another One Bites the Dust1]

Green and Dank (just read through your thread Dank), you are both Master gardeners to be sure!
I have to remember that this is only my 3rd year of growing, and can't expect to be growing monsters or trees yet. Have to keep learning from you all though.

It sure is nice to have your own dispensary at your house though. Usually takes me 5 minutes to chose what I want to medicate with at the moment with the nice selection of strains that I have jarred up.

Peace.

I am still learning too! I am behind the times(especially indoor) but I do alright with photo's for sure. The plants you have there are sweet man! They look great. The only reason mine get so huge is
1 Huge hole- in spring I work up an area that's about 30'X30 for four plants going a shovel and a half deep. I have great drainage in the soil and a great natural ph.(thanks the gods for those two things!)
2 Heavy Nutrients - Well rotted horse manure. I spread 4 buckets of manure with the tractor bucket(probably 10 wheel barrows full) in the fall, and turn it over in the spring with the shovel. Bit of a drawback her in taste, but plant size is incredible. Get decent buds with nothing other than horseshit, but flower size is cranked by bloom ferts. I should note that I leave a buffer zone when I put the plants in the ground in spring.(lightly mixed in horse with topsoil, just a barrier so the plants get to ease into the intense nutrients a bit)
3 Training - I have to keep plants sort of low due to arsehole thieves, so mine are no higher than 4'. I start training early in growth with a plan to keep branches low and wide(and maximizing sun exposure for later on) Pruning out underdeveloped shoots from inside the canopy. Branches supported by bamboo in multiple sites. Personally i've had solid success with every photo strain topping at 4 true nodes(so 8 true branches) then tying over the main trunk and keeping the branches tied down for the first couple of months.

Oh how did I forget the #1#1 rule to getting huge girls...full sun or real close to full sun.

Bottom line is I have no doubt you can grow monsters stick as looking at your plants they are very healthy...when are you starting your oudoor girls? (april 1st for mine)

Stickman your plants are very nice tall and bushy I to have been growing for a small amount to but was raised around herb my whole life my parents grow so knowledge is passed around thanks for the kind words I am working and dedicated to grow top shelf meds at a poor mans price I am an autistic person I feel like an underdog when I see peoples beautiful setups And top notch fertilizers I have synthesized my own and use organic amendments to improve plants I am constantly testing and working on things this is my calling I am still learning reading and loving the knowledge I learn from the growers on afn

Stick brother things are looking excellent! I got your PM just haven't had a chance to get back to you... I may be able to possibly help, just things are sorta crazy atm, I can not wait to one day to be able to use the best light around, our sun! Way to risky to grow outdoors here, though I've been known to throw a small plant outside here and there .... Looking forward to watching them flower out for you!

Ive checked out your thread a couple of times, SWEET plants! I cant complain but I sure do wish I had that environment to grow in!! As for record breaking...lol nah...she weighed out at 2p 9z (which ironically is the identical weight from the DP BB from the year before...fingers crossed for an identical weight this season! Currently she looks like she has the potential)

The Oregon environment is good that's for sure we get California's moving here to grow there crops cause of the environment and it's legal

Thanks for all of the GREAT information and encouragement my friend! I will have to be growing differently next year, as my state just changed the laws for us legal MMJ patients. I was able to grow 45 plants before the 24th of July, now it is only 15, and next year it will be either 4 or 8 plants.

Yes, I do start my outdoor plants on April 1st, but can't plant outdoors until June 1stish due to frost.

Stickman your plants are very nice tall and bushy

Dank, thanks for the very kind words!

Yoda my friend. Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. Looking forward to trying your YDBs. If you remember right, the F1s were some of the first autos I grew (in way too hot of TLO for autos), and here it is my third year of growing and growing YDB F3s.

Yes, it will be great when all are legal to grow!

looking sweet stickman!!! View attachment 470219

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words Elvis!
