Sweet! Nice to see you posting your garden. With the smaller plants will you still get all the meds you need for the year? Nice work on the girls.

edit, hey man have you thought of doing two smaller harvests? blacking out for twelve hrs. with your car hanger using a dark tarp...

Starting to see some good colas now. The Purple Kush smallest but is the fastest by long shot.

I will be adding my nets soon and cover soon.

Purple Kush is the first two pics and the last. Also in the middle of garden in 4th pic. You can tell the PK by how much bigger the buds are then the rest. 4th pic shows this well. I have found a few spots of PM on the PK's though. Nothing bad just a few spots. I also thinned the crap out of them for they will packed inside with small shoots. Never seen anything like that before. Perhaps my first real Indica is why?

FFOF soil with 30% perlite mixed in. I used FF grow big,tigar bloom and big bloom nothing else. I ph my fert water as well. Simple as it gets.

I also must add grow weather has been 100% perfect for the last two months. Could not ask for any better.

Yah I will have plenty. I think I will be close to or over one pound per plant. That give me 9 to 11lbs for I have 11 plants this year. Starting late worked out perfect for me. This size I really like but I do miss having large plants. Also I try to grow for two years at a time. I try to prepare for disasters,ripped or robbed.

Next year I am going for two 5lb plants under one of my covers in native soil like in 2009. In my other cover I will grow 4 potted plants like you see this year. If I grow 12 plants next year 6 will be autos. But right now the plan is 6. 12 plants like last year grow under 60ft cover was just to much. This is whay I started late.

Also adding 2011 grow in my sig for new people can catch up.

You're doing a great job as usual dirtfarmer. Imagine you'll still probably have to tarp them again to get them finished. But we've had a pretty good dry spell here.

Getting a little light on my pale looking. I am going to give then some N tomorrow night. Besides that looking good. Also started my netting today.

Enjoy.

Great garden!

Thanks guys and girls.

Weekend update, I moved my shorter indica type plants into morning sun. They were puddling dew on the leafs making PM spots. Lets hope these taller not as bushy ones do better in afternoon sun only.

Crappy pics for the sun angle. I will get some better shots at dusk.
