The time is here to start the outdoor grow. This what I have so far 10 amnesia haze seeds, 9 3cft bags happy frog soil, 10 rings cut from plastic 55gal drums, 350gal tote which will hold the water that will be pumped from a creek and a dirt water drip system. I plan on digging out holes setting the rings in then filling with the soil. the rings will be 1'6"deep to help from leaching and about 2" sticking out of the ground to stop any run off. The creek is not real big but it never goes dry. I will then have a submersible pump in 5 gal bucket with a with holes all over it then putting it in a pillow case to act as a filter. The pump with be controlled manually as well as when the plants get the water. I plan on only feeding twice a week maybe even three.my question is doesthis sound like a good set up? Should i add to the happy frog for max yield? I want this grow to be my best grow so please help me out! I want trees!!!

Last year we put each plant in a 2x2 hole with one bag Happy Frog per plant. As you can see in the photos not much dirt for each plant. We had good native soil for the area we used so the plants didn't mind. We ended up with huge trees end of August. Some 7 footers! We did feed from the get go. Happy frog don't have enough in it to get plants through flower. So feeding 2-3 times a week is ideal.

Wow! that thing is massive man! very impressed. What did you feed that thing? Should I dump my nutes in my main tote and just feed it with every watering? I have a soil ph meter, water ph meter and a ppm meter to make sure everything stays on track.

We fed General Organics grow at least once a week & the bloom we really bumped up the juice. Some bud candy for carbs & Big Bud. Your safe feeding every watering just listen to your plants. They'll tell you when they've had enough.

What kind of yield and quality did have with such big plants?

3lbs. Ea. for the most part some more some less. Quality was dank but we lost a good portion to bud rot. Was a very wet September last season & had to fall them early.
