Awesome stuff, and I thought my six footer was big, kinda gives me inferiority complex, hahaha. Wish I could have some of the sun, the weather in Northern Europe has been crap for the last few weeks. Nothing but clouds and rain (and some tropical downpours as well!!!)

With the pots you are using, are these open to the ground below? i.e do your roots end up going into ground or do they stay in the pots?

Peace,

Everything is going pretty well. Plants are only about 2-3 weeks into bloom beleive it or not. Buds are getting there but have a long ways to go so nothing special to post really. Had a nutrient lockout from over fert I beleive. Was using these teas and didnt realize that you needed to cut your nutes in half when using them due to the increased nute uptake. Slowed down the last few weeks of veg and burned some of the upper leaves. Gave them heavy water, teas for a couple weeks. I think I have it resolved now though and have resumed feeding them every other water.

My BC Big Bud in its 45 gal is massive and in full bloom now as well probably 3 weeks in. Think I'll get 2-3 lbs off her. Have a Casey Jones in a 45 gal that is about 8 feet tall and 6 wide that is starting to develop really tall colas, very different then when its indoors. I am quite sure she will give a good 2 pounds as well maybe more. Wish I had stuck that ne in a 100 gallon now and put her out early like the Blue Dreams. Think it would have been a 15 foot tall plant easy.

Thanks for the props guys. Honestly I dont think I will do trees like this again after having done them. Yield per plant is way up but I dont think it is giving me more yield for the space then doing say 12 - 6 footers in there. The main reason is it is just too hard to access the plants. Trying to do anything anywhere near the tops is very difficult. Spraying is made much harder and looking for problems becomes much much harder. The ground is very uneven and sloped making it much harder as well. Now if I were in an area where there was a plant maximum I'd keep doing large ones. Next year however I think I will be going no higher then 7 foot plants and topping them if need be. Probably use a max of 65 gallon smart pots.

Need to update with pics. They are now all leaned way over on the tops from heavy colas. Have tied a lot of string to help support them but still lean over a lot. Despite the lockup on the tops I think I should still get a good 2 lbs off each one. If I hadnt had those issues I think 3-4 would have been very doable. Might still get 3 time will tell. They still have a few weeks to go and Blue Dream packs on the most towards the very end. Tops of all three have the most stunted smaller buds of the entire plants. That was where I saw the issues at the end of veg so I am not surprised.

Ok time for some pics !!!!!
Here are the Blue Dreams. Still have a couple weeks on them. Very top buds got stunted from a early lockout (too many nutes) but look they are still going to do very well. Buds are very dense and should pack on a lot in the next week.








Here is a Casey Jones with a good two weeks left.




My BC Big Bud

Salmon Creek Big Bud which were switched outside small. Plant is only about 3 1/2 feet tall



Lemon Thai Skunk


Double Bubble with 2-3 weeks left, bloomed late and it is a 9 week strain. Packs on a crazy amount indoors so I can only imagine what its going to do outdoors in a plant this large.

Pot of Gold; one cola of many from a much larger plant.
