curse this damn weather. Like was mentioned a post or two back at least we got a good stretch of weather coming up. I have a hell of a busy day ahead of me. If it dries up maybe spray them with green cure and then once that's done an injured friend of mine has a patch I have to go locate with crap directions. Hope alls well in your gardens. Only 12 days left before I harvest the pineapple express.

We've been buying all our seeds for years now. We actually buy 2 grand worth just for outdoors. We germinate and raise them all till thier 2-3 ft and sell off what we're not keeping for our greenhouses. This pays for all our seed and compost every season.

I have done some reading on breeding and using colloidal silver to make feminized seed. So I have a basic knowledge on how it's done. I should read more on breeding and set up an area. It would make things a little easier if we didn't have to rely on ordering seed all the time.

We used to use clones indoors all the time. Now we've switched to using seed inside aswell. Cloning machines seem to spread disease from one clone to every clone in the machine, if there's any diseases present. Trading clones with others seems to amplify the problems. (From my own experience)

Thanks for sharing

I think I have seen a post of your green house do you have 3 rows running down it? All wood frame?

My buddy and I are very interested in your set up we have been looking at it very closely and we like what we see.
I know I have the plans and material list somewhere around here. We buy all our materials in one order so we can get the best deal. 24 x 64 = $2,000 for pt frame, chicken wire and strapping. I Will find the info and get it to you as soon as I find it.

Looks like an early harvest! Checked on my patch today. Trichomes are nearly all milky. Probably going to chop the pineapple express this Friday. Hope y'all get good weight. The posted pics look better than mine. Jealous.

yes I had originally planned for harvest on the 25th. but with the trichomes near completely milky this rotten weather and this close to being finished I'm taking them down. if you had flower Start sometime around July 20th then you should be finishing right alongside me. honestly if the weather was perfect I would definitely go all the way to the 25th maybe even passed that. Yours look like mine did a week ago. Let those hairs turn and check for trich color. All milky with some amber and nice swollen calyxs is what you want. October 5 may be overipe.

yup,exactly around that 3rd week of July I have in my journal.most of the trichs are milky but those pistils had me doubting a bit.hopefully I'll be seeing some Amber here shortly(have some,not enough)i'm definitely gonna let it go this week,then look at next week's forecast.pm had been a problem,got that under control,but I agree,the buds are getting a bit dense and bud rot is concerning me now.I was really doubting a Oct harvest so great timing on your post lol.thanks for your reply,good luck.

Nature Boy what kind of growing set up are you using? What yeild are you expecting? mine look like they will give me between three quarters to a pound a piece in 20 gallons of organic soil.

Great numbers,I'm embarrassed to say what I'm expecting lulz.nah,due mainly to grower inexperience,I'd be amped to get 3 oz per plant but realistically maybe get 2 per.one is in a 9.5 airpruner the other a 6 gallon.Organics.roots707 with some coast of Maine barharbor blend(wont use this again.too heavy)I used liquid kelp throughout grow with compost tea.I had early yellowing of leaves which I couldn't correct so I'm sure that decreased yield.I have hit it hard(thanks for the advice from fellow tea brewers on here)with a ewc tea the last 3 weeks which I'm happy with results.I had purchased the Biobizz line which I like,but have not used any during bloom,strictly tea.I am going to research more about teas this winter.this summer has been strange,it got hot in the middle of Aug where I'm at,yet it was like my plants weren't too thirsty. I like them to dry out between waterings,I don't let them wilt,but want them to draw up everything.it also could be that bh blend soil staying moist.anyways,the buds now really smell dank,and I'll be happy to harvest anything,really.(its pouring bad right now)are you starting from seed or clones?have you found them to be heavy feeders and what are you using for nutes?

I started from clones. Back in April a friend brought me 11 clones of PE. I put them in a 50/50 mix of organic choice seed mix and my own hot mix. They preflowered bad. I was out camping by my patch so all I could do was cover them with plastic and pray. They seemed to have become almost monster cropped from this experience. After the winter we had it blows my mind that i had the clones outside!
By May I had my patch set up, all dirt mixed and hauled. The soil I made is organic and basic. Peat composted cow poo, polymer crystals azomite, kelp meal, several bags of espoma, dolomitic lime, and I swear I forgot something. I stuck 3 7.5gal buckets of it into 42gal yard bags and humped it to the garden. I planted around May 1st.

By July I noticed some had nitrogen deficiency. I topdressed with blood meal til August. Then I just mixed some bone meal, leftover bloodmeal, kelp in a bucket till the end of August. Since then just water with molasses.

Its a hungry plant. My other plants never once yellowed. It was borderline N deficient from mid July. I noticed two phenos one lime green the other darker green. I asked my friend did they come from one mother? He said no two. So I have one pheno that is less prone to N problems but otherwise identical in yeild size structure.
