Ok here is the setup.

Ten 100 gallon Smart Pots filled with 9 bags of Roots Organic soil each. Will be using Advanced Nutrients A&B for veg and bloom along with some Organic teas all fed on drip lines for really good deep soaks.

I am growing mostly Blue Dream. A couple Cheese. A Lemon Thai Skunk and a couple Agent Oranges. Also have a Pot of Gold in a 45 gallon Smart. Also have a Salmon Creek Big Bud going into a 65 gallon Smart but it is only about 1 foot tall and was being trained to be a mother so it is already a nice round little bush with thick stem and in a well rooted 2 gallon.

I put the Blue Dreams out about 3 weeks ago and they were 3-4 feet tall. I had them in 7 gallon containers under a 1000 watt. They were on a 17/7 light schedule. The Blue Dreams have really started taking off I'd say about 5 feet tall on most of them already.

We are inn Central Cal near the coast and it gets hot here. Normal summer day is 80-85. Not uncommon to get in the 90s many days in a row and 100s in a heat wave. Hit 110 here last year.

They are pretty well spaced. They are staggered and a good 6-7 feet apart.

Plants usually switch around mid August here. They are getting a solid 7-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They get full sun at about 10:30 until 6:30-7:00.

So what kind of yield do you think I'll get out of these suckers? How big do you think they will get? Any suggestions or advise? Never done large pots like this before.

I could post pics of the setup if anyone really wants to see.

Thanks !

This is the better shot of ma few of them. These are all Blue Dream. That bamboo stick is 10 feet tall ! They seem to be about 5 feet above the pot level.






Over head shot of Blue Dream (left) Lemon Thai far right. All about 4 feet tall.

Well there are a few pics to give a little better idea of spacing etc.

FYI 100 gal smart pots are only $29 :blsmoke:

Damn man those are already big. Did you lug all those out there plus the grow medium? That looks like a ton of work but I'm sure it's going to pay off big time. You will be trimming till New years. Subscribed for sure.

holyyyy shit those are some crazy ass pots. I Just got four 15 gallon smart pots, check out my video below, I cant imagine you would need 100 gallon pots, but i guess they would work that much better and a good price. I am wanting to subscribe but I still haven't figured it out can someone help me

Yeah was a bit of work but not horrible. Had to haul 9 bags of soil for each container.The pic of the three Blue Dreams have been outside for about 3 weeks now and are starting to take off finally. I think they take a little while to get over being root bound plus we had a week solid of rain when they first went out. Only grew about a foot to 18 in but I'd say most of that was in the last 10 days.

You never know. 6 years ago I got 12 ounces dry off of a Blue Berry in a 15 gallon pot and it was put out really small at the end of June. These Ladies are all supposed to be very high yielders. I know some guys are getting 7-10 lbs dry in like 300 gallon containers plus they are expert growers of course. I guess I am really hoping for 3-4 but will be happy with 1 1/2 lbs per. I did use direct injection ferts on the Blueberry and am doing the same this year. So it gets the ferts mixed in evenly with the drip irrigation. I am planning on using atleast 50% ferts each watering or use 100% every other water. Can't wait to see how they do !!

I've heard that Blue Dream yields fat outdoors. If you don't get 1.5 to 2 a piece i'd be surprised. Good luck man I hope you do well you should make a legit grow log so we can all keep up on your grow!

Yeah that was my main reason for picking it. Plus good quality too boot. How do I make a legit grow log ? Would be happy to.
