They were in the shade for a second, and it's strawberry nesquick, Afghan cookie, lithium og and another og, I forgot....week 7 in vegThey look good! Are they in the shade just for the photoshoot? What strains are you growing and how old are they?
Okay thanks any idea on how often to water and what to feed them? I just put them in ffof and Wallace organic wonderLooks good but you might be thinking of a way to cover black pots. The black pots will be real hot when it gets hot this summer.
Ok thanks a lot for answeringJust stick your finger in the dirt. If it comes out dry water. Slow deep watering so all the soil gets wet. I use the same soil every year. Use stone dust compost and Dolomite lime after harvest. Every 2 weeks I top dress with compost and worm castings. If I have to water I will use compost tea.
Awesome garden you have there....and some nice sounding strains....I bet your excited for the fluffy show lol. Great job so farHey group, this is my first grow outside from solo clones, how am I looking so far?
Hey rayi, so I don't recommend this as a method for when to water for newer growers. Putting your finger into the top of the soil in let's say a 12" tall pot only tells you the top is dry but the bottom could be still completely saturated. The knuckle test was a huge problem when I started out I kept drowning plants..... Not to say it doesn't work for others but lifting the pots is a much better way to judge when to water imo for someone new... Heavy pot/plant = don't water....light pot/plant = add water.....simple and straight forward.Just stick your finger in the dirt. If it comes out dry water.
Lifting a 65 gallon pot with full grown plant is not easy for a 68 year old
Well as a younger man I cannot lift a 65 gallon pot of dirt either... Water logged or not lol I wish I could tho.... But just from looking at the pots in the photos I would assume they're around 10 gallon at the most that's why I recommended the lift method.... But thank you for pointing out that a lot our members aren't spring chickens anymore so using the lift method may not be the best advice.Lifting a 65 gallon pot with full grown plant is not easy for a 68 year old man
Well...you have to remember to use your legs....you know...the ones with the creaky knees, sore hips and very suspect ankles!!!Lifting a 65 gallon pot with full grown plant is not easy for a 68 year old man
It wasn't much easier for most of us when we were 20 either.Lifting a 65 gallon pot with full grown plant is not easy for a 68 year old man
Yep, they do look like around the 10, maybe 15 gallon, size. They could be measured across the top and the height and the numbers plugged into some web-sites that will give the approx size.But just from looking at the pots in the photos I would assume they're around 10 gallon at the most that's why I recommended the lift method....
Fak you guys are making me feel bad lolWell...you have to remember to use your legs....you know...the ones with the creaky knees, sore hips and very suspect ankles!!!
I feel your pain!!!!!
Yup....no worries I didn't think it was a 55+ gallon...... And at roughly 12 lb a gallon of wet dirt... Lifting that would be worlds strongest man type gardening lolIt wasn't much easier for most of us when we were 20 either.

To help relate to the size, 65 gallons is about 25% bigger than a 55 gallon drum. Or almost twice as large as a regular size bale of ProMix or Peat Moss, either of which is approx 38 gallons.
