techniques for growing huge plants outdoors!

hey must be nice 7o7.. lol mendo has sick ass limits, i believe last i seen yall could have up to 99 plants or somethin but anyways its a lot more than fresno countys 6 max but thanx for the info, and nice job with the northern lights, maybe its the northern cali atmosphere

I was recommending soil bags for a more guerilla type situation.
as in, if you're out in the fucking woods somewhere, this setup is probably not worth it.
you don't need to get anything exactly right, marijuana stalks are incredibly strong and flexible within reason. Its possible to thread entire branches back through the grating 3 feet below the growth tips to get to a better location (after the fact.) the key is just bending really really gently and not bending it too much at any given point.. hardware store should have what you're after as far as grating. I cant remember what it was sold as... goat fencing panels or something?????
think animal cage type material, but for big animals.

6 by 8 greenhouse would fit maybe ONE plant of this size, if you take it to the limit
you can still use the basic techniques for 4 in that space, but just not go as far out. be really careful with the lanky sativas growing out the top of the greenhouse!! A great thing about the greenhouse having a roof is that around this time of year you can keep the rain out which allows you a lot more leeway with when you harvest (avoiding bud-rot, which is what is keeping me up at night these days) check out a nice hybrid, perhaps?
Mendo's limits are currently in flux. lazy ass people didn't vote enough.... possible 6 plant limit, but not enforced this year
otherwiseeee..
oh yeah, i mean. whatever rubber. I use old bike tubes to get a good wrap around the stalk if it starts to look a little iffy. just use whatever is on hand. or if you want to go really pro I think orchard-type stores have all kind of tree maintenance wraps.
just because its medical doesn't mean the feds won't fuck with you.

Yea i got a good one seperate them a considerable ammount so if one catches a bad bug or a disease it will take it a while to spread to the others. RIGHt and but lots of bug repellent for the soil keep them healthy and take alot of clippings and plant them around the plants so you gota field of green my friend. and use molasses all thru out the growing stage and in larger ammounts in the late flowering stage u r set for life if you do thirty plants!! lol my imagination was growing so it sounds good man raised beds are suited for bacteria and most are good if you feed them good

yea cool guys thanks alot.. i was thinkin the same thing however i keep 3 in 55 gallon barrells cut in hafl and it seem to keep it at a moderate size. but yea i could also just add on to the top of the greenhouse it can be added on to by slappin some more siding on it.. but ok thanks guys i was actually thinkin bout puttin some train wreck in there with the same graiting ur talkin bout, the live stock fencing.. and maybe somethin stronger for the bottom but ok guys thanks for all the great ideas however i dont have the space for any bigger than 6x8 so mybe i just put 2 and use the same amount of space then i can keep my indoor crop through-out summer as well. but thanks alot guys. and i doubt the fed will fuck with me with my lil co-op and hardly ever havin fresh bud lol but thanks guys..

Plain and simple, like the one guy said big root base. Forget about soil and use mother nature, look for diceduis trees and that is prime soil. Dig 1 foot holes, add slow release mix in the dirt and then plant and water. Use Growth plus one week and B-1 the next till they flower. then continue to use b-1. Lots of sun, water, and recomended fertilizer. I use the low lands as there is always a water table that is easy for the plants to reach. Average plants are 9 feet, monster are up to 14 feet.

I am starting now and itll turn fall in around the beginning of september. If i am planning to put it outside - its super lemon haze - how big do u guys think itll get?

I'm currently growing an Indica from some high grade pot that I purchased only found one seed every half bag or so. But it's been vegging since January. And I just put it on a timer to adjust it to the outdoor cycle come early May, so I can move it outside after hardening off, and it will veg about two more months outside and then flower naturally just as it normally would. This is actually not a recent picture either. That picture is on February 22 I believe.

Way to keep a 7 year old thread alive bro

When I first started growing I found an abandoned saw mill out in the woods and on this property were big mounds of sawdust from the operation.
I thought I'd try my luck on one of the big sawdust mounds after hauling bags of soil and incorporating it into one of the mounds I was ready to start growing. Back then I didn't germinate the seeds prior to planting I just planted the seeds.......long story short they were the biggest plants I ever grew in my life and I attributed their size to the sawdust mounds . This sawmill hadn't been used in decades the sawdust didn't resemble sawdust but a nice organic broken down soil my plants were close to 10 feet tall at time of harvest with stalks as big as my arms I've never grew anything since that have been the size of those monsters.
So I think a good quality soil and preparing the soil prior to planting and good watering are very important to monster plants ....genetics play a role but I think you can coax a lot from a plant just by the quality of your early preperation...!

I am not going for "TALL" plants, am going for BIG YIELD and GREAT QUALITY! I keep it simple and have great results. A lot of great posts here but I think there is a bit more to it than just good soil n good light, and think that some growers try too hard. I could go on and on about all my techniques, would have to start my own thread. I build a good organic soil mix, start with quality seeds, start seeds indoors in Feb., top n train while young, final transplant into 200 gal. cloth pots, full-all day sun, plain well water every other day, keep lower part of plant cleaned up, damage lower leaves, spray once or twice a week with aloe/silica spray, off days spray with cold water mist, keep all branches pointing UP by providing support, last week start pulling sun leafs, and harvest at least 5lbs per plant. I've posted this pick a few times this week but here we go again....

That's funny when people talk about big or tall plants, all I can think is who wants a lot of stem? What was your biggest yielder there and finish time?

I'm in Michigan so do not have a long grow season. Every thing was mostly harvested by Oct 10th other than some smaller iner buds that I took about week later.

lol I didn't even look at the thread date.

Ohhhhh...well im a drunk.i guesz it do t matter if im 4 yrs late

I don't see why the OP thinks topping is a bad idea. I will be doing my first guerilla grow this year, and topping a plant which has ample time to repair and grow seems like the best idea for reasons such as height control and light penetration, I mean, it's cool to have giant plants, but yield is yield, regardless if your plant is 15ft tall and 5ft wide, or 5ft tall and 15ft wide. Indoors, where people usually have a short vegging period, then I can understand why someone wouldn't want to top, but outdoors where your plant can grow for a good 5-6months, it just seems like the way to go.

Somebody please feel free to correct and enlighten me.

15ft wide will most likely yield more. more tops getting prime light/hormones/airflow.
