Outdoor Giants/ Who has grown them???

I was wondering how many of you have grown outdoor monsters? I have done a little research and have come up with a few strains that may be able to produce a monster, but would love for a few of you to chime in with your own experiences/pictures with monster strains.

I was looking into Skunk #1, KC Brains Dankey Doodle/TNR/and Mango, Critical Mass, AK99, Moby Dick, Nigerian Nightmare, Big Bud, Chronic, Great White Shark, White Rhino, NL99, etc.

I want an absolute monster that isn't completely lacking in taste and potency.

I will be attempting my first outdoor, and would like a plant that isn't too hard to train that just likes to grow big buds naturally. I will be digging big holes, using rocks or gravel for drainage, and filling with premium soil and fertilizer (possibly buckets of raw fish I saw in a 9lb outdoor tree).

I know experienced growers can attain good results with just about any strain, but I need to hone my skills.


Thanks in advance

ll there are so many capable of producing big, alots going to be determined on where you live how early you start them,sun,ferts,ect there would be to many plants to list why not choose something that looks good to you and work the best you can. sometimes amazing things happen. there is no 100% foolprooof recipe for monster plants. ive grown plants that said they could produce 2lbs and gotten ozs and grown plants that say 4 oz outdoor harvest and recieved over a lb. goood luck work hard and take good care of them. good organic ferts sun and knowing your plant strain will help peace. goota go

Dig a large hole and fill with a bail of promix.Big bud is a strain that is a large producer.I think the key is to grow indoors a while to get a good start.Thats what I do anyway.Put it out at 1-2 feet high.I can only put mine out about the first of june because of the risk of frost but if can go earlier,even better for you.Fertilizers will have a major impact on yield.

the one that comes to my mind is 'it all starts with a gallon of gas'
dude grows a jungle, has the tree thing down pat. he had a 8' bush in like a 5 gallon bucket, among other setups.
truly a master

pretty much

Thanks to all of you guys. I know no strain will be foolproof. I was just wondering what strains have been getting big for you guys over and over. I will be in the NW, but it is unseasonably warm, so I might be able to start in March or April.

A few questions before I start reading fdd2blk threads.......

1. Can anybody recommend any good slow release fertilizers, or any fertilizers you have had good luck with outdoors?

2. I am leaning towards a few strains and was wondering if any of you have had any experience with them (Dutch Passion Euforia, KC Brains Danky Doodle, Breeders Choice Lady Cane or Blueberry Sativa, and Kootenay Mountain Jumbo Grizzly).

Thanks again!

as for strains i cant help u out but for fertilizer ive been doing some reaserch on heavy harvest from advanced nutrients . they seem like they are pretty good but u just have to look around there are so many out there u just have to try one or a couple and see what u think works best .. whats good for one guy doesnt meen its good for the next ..

for some slow release ferts you cant go wrong with guanos-bat,seabird,good compost,composted manure,blood and bone meal,kelp-seaweed, all are good organic ferts that are slow release. i like bat guanos high n, earthworm castings, and good compost in my soil mix. then get youself some good water soluble organic ferts for watering one with high nitrogen while vegetating and some high phosphorus for flowering. i like earthjuice, and foxfarms they have never let me down. but there are so many ferts out there now tailored to growing ganja many work well. some are way overpriced.

2 words one strain: mouwi wouwi

Choose the strain that fits your best. Where is your general location? You need to find a strain that fits your climate perfectly. You could have a huge monster that will not finish in time and then it just becomes pointless.

I used heavy harvest summer and fall last season on 70 of my plants.Used a 5 gallon bucket of summer and half a bucket of the fall heavy harvest.

Also used general hydroponics 3 part mix.The total cost for the 2 were about 700.00$ Expensive but got good results.

Go with an afghan strain

Last year I grew bubba kush, green crack and some purple bagseed with some pretty good results, averaged a bit over 2lbs per plant, with a few that were pushing 4lb. I dug about 3x3x3 holes and backfilled with fox farm ocean forest, perilite, bonemeal, dolomite lime and earthworm castings in almost every hole except a few experimental ones. I live in northern california so I usually get to plant mid-late april depending on the weather, the only thing I did to the plants was fim all of them quite a bit and do some minor trimming of the lower branches. Besides taking good care of your plants the one thing you can do to go bigger is to dig some huge holes, Ive already got about 10 done so far, one of them is about 5.5 ft deep, I would love to do all of them that deep but its alot of work and alot of money to fill the damn things up, but it all pays off in the end. Try to make sure they are planted where you can maximize the amount of sun they will get, away from trees or west sides of buildings. Depending on how big of pits you dig and your drainage will determine your watering schedule, you want to water them well and let the soil go completely dry before watering again, wet/moist to dry is important, I watered every 7-10 days last year, but I could've left for 2wks and they woulda been fine. Personally I think outdoor is alot easier than indoor, maybe thats just because thats where 80% of my experience is, but the environment is already set out for you. The biggest plants Ive ever seen were ones that an old timer friend of mine grew, he never touched them, just let them grow and he had some plants that would push between 5-10lbs and would end up being 12-15ft tall. I dont want my plants that tall, they stick out too much, but he swears by not adding any stress to the plants whatsoever. Anyways if I can help out let me know, peace

Im hoping for 12 or so monsters northern lights and white widow gonna try a couple sativas too. Im digging a pit that 2.5 to 3 feet deep and however wide and long going with alot of creek-bed and run off soil 80 or so fish and 15% cow shit and 5 percent chickin shit. This should turn out well But im going to be topping and fimming them alot so they dont compete to much for sunlight so only two or 3 experimentals will be allowed to get up to their full height. All my babies have their first set of three pointed leaves out and im planting in the middle of march. This is my first serous outdoor to so lets hope for some dankity dank :]

Fellas, you don't kow how much I appreciate the help. Bluffin Cali.... The info is great, and 2-4lb per plant is exactly what I'm talking about! Good Shit.

Bluffin, instead of using Fox farms, do you think I could just find some good cheap compost and add the slow release ferts you did and achieve a similar medium. I am willing to dig 30 foot holes, but not willing to fill them up with shit that runs $18 a bag, Ya dig?

How much water did you feed your plants before letting them sit for 10 days?

Also, did you water them with nutrient water or just regular water?

i grow monsters indoors and out. big bud, papia. mendocino purple, and jillybean grow out really nice with my exp. good luck

Yeah you can use an organic compost mix, sometimes thats even better, but I dont have that much experience with slow release fertilizers. My usual routine was to go flood my pits, not really a set amount of water, more of leave the hose going in each hole for about 10-15minutes, but until you got a handle on your plants I would give them a measured amount. After watering I would mix my nutes in 5gl bucket, mostly powder nutrients, then add them after I watered. If you want some really big plants try to get your hands on some big bud like mygirls stated, also that jillybean from subcool is some flat out fire, Im hoping to get my hands on some salmon creek big bud this year.Not sure where you live, just make sure that its not getting to cold at night, or too much rain if your going to plant in march, like I said I plant mid-late april. Let me know how things are going, peace
