Don's Outdoor Northern Lights Deep Purple 2021

what i was thinking i listened to my partner in this grow and didnt acculate them to the sun ( never listento a woman lol ) while i am here was talking to another grower today and he told me to watch the leaves of the plant they will tell me when to water when they are up facing the sun looking happy they just got watered when they are flat but still facing sun they are cruising in the fast lane when they turn down towards the ground and droop time to water if after a couple waterings they don't turn back up feed with nutes. what he said makes some sense and i have to admit he just cured some awesome shit

Deciding when to water is as simple as lifting the pots. In veg, water when they're light and the bottoms feel dry. In flower, water a day earlier than that.

And man or woman, anyone who says plants don't need acclimating didn't read my post #5 here. Oh wait, that would be you!

i did read that post but let my partner make that decision and it was a bad idea ( note to self do next grow by yourself) the reason i brought up the watering is i have a bad back and sometimes have a hard time even lifting the dry pots hopefully i will figure it out am hoping once they get acclimated they will bounce back

If you can't lift because of your back, can you kneel in front of them and tip them back instead? Getting a feel for the weight of your pots (even if you can't get them off the ground) is the best way to determine when to water.

ty for the rock back and forth idea never thought of it duh

Been busy these past few days so havent posted girls got watered and nuted wens then i watered them again yesterday been having 80 degree weather so they seem to be getting thirsty. Got new branches starting to come out so am getting excited. i see in fourth picture the possibility of nute burn

 

[InTheShed]

Looks pretty good to me! That white doesn't look like nute burn to me...any chance it's still from the sun? Those edges are bleached completely white.

should i skip this weeks feeding?

 

[InTheShed]

Pretty sure FoxFarms soil schedule says feed every other watering, so I'm not sure what you mean by "this weeks feeding."

the schedule says once per week and they were fed last wens dont go by watering sched usualy have to water 3 times in a week Feeding Schedules - FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company soil schedule using big bloom grow big in second week soil nutes

That link says up to twice a week, but I used to feed mine every time I watered!

 

[DonBisso1]

did not get pics today but everyone but the blackberry got a gal. of water with 2 tbs big bloom and 2 tsp grow big. trying a experiment of only feeding once a week last time i grew seemed twice a week was to much. blackberry just got the water. will take pics tomorrow or fri when i am back out at grow

just wanted to say i only have one person giving advice but with you being that one i feel safe with your acolades dont stop the advice

 

[DonBisso1]

went to grow yesterday and gave everybody a gal of water. Am starting to feel like a proud poppa with the growth of this plant. That is one of the lemon haze at 3 weeks outside. Second pic is other lemon haze same age not as tall. Third pic is same plant as first. Fourth pic is blackberry Kush one week outdoors. last 2 are Northern lights 3 weeks outdoors

Looking good! Are you planning on topping/training them? The taller ones are starting to look ready for something to maximize the tops.

 

[DonBisso1]

was planning on just letting em go

 

[InTheShed]

Oh okay! Bigger yields with training though.

where would i start training

Have you seen any videos or read up on any training techniques like topping or Low Stress Training (LST)? I've got an LST tutorial/explainer here:

How I perform low stress training on my plants: Lots of pics!

Greetings all! I've had members ask about how I do my LST (low stress training) on my plants so I thought I would do a pictorial on it. My pics are of two different plants but don't let that confuse you. It's just easier to demonstrate that way. Let's discuss the theory behind LST for a...
