500 Gallon Smart Pot Outdoor Grow Journal 2014: Growing Dank

[Lester Freeman]

Have you had a lot of caterpillar problems with the size of plants/quantity of flowers that you produce?

 

[Growing Dank]

I haven't had a Caterpillar issue in a while I spray with spinosad weekely until they start flower then switch to Mighty Wash. Last year I encountered major issues with russet mites. One of my plants had russet mites, these things are insane... I used neem oil=no effect, next week spinosad=nothing, week after that Azamax=nothing, at this point it was 2 weeks into flowering, so I then used Mighty Wash=nothing... So finally I googled predator mites and bought 10,000 predator mites(Galendromus occidentalis) they worked very well in 2 weeks the russet mites where completely gone, they also eat most kinds of spider mites. If you ever encounter russet mites predator mites are only way to go.

Watching outdoor plants grow is amazing. I love to see them get to their full potential. Looking forward to the massive yield your going to get.

Damn... those are gonna be some monsters.

Wow dude, or dudette i guess , those are the biggest pots I seen. And I thought I was going big with 25/20 gallon pots LOL.

Are you sure your Blue Dream Haze is really going into flower? are you seeing any stretch? Many plants will show preflower pistils as part of normal getting older process and not necessarily start flowering. If you actually started to see it stretching to make budding sites I would be worried. But from pics I am thinking just a mature plant showing its sex.

Also what is the latitude at your location?

Anyhow looking great, hope you do not have a early flower/reveg going on, all my plants last year did it, ended up with a ton of small buds.

 

[Growing Dank]

trust me it is was preflowering, it has stopped shooting 1 leavers now and is starting to shoot 2-3 leafers now. Seems like it's starting to go back to veg again which is good. My other 3 plants are beast, they grow so fast. Altitude is like 500 feet

I meant degrees north (or South of equator) can help determine what your sunset/sunrise are to see if might be a cause. E.G I am at about 45 degrees north so I have to be careful about putting out to soon or they start flowering.

Sounds like you maybe OK though.

Again impressive setup, must have been a ton of work/$$$ for soil.

I assume the 'cage' addition outside of pots is to keep deer out? they would love to find this.

 

[Growing Dank]

it was put outside same exact time as my other plants, so it's not that. It indeed took a lot of work it is a solo project. The cage around the one pot is to give the plant support as it is going to be massive im throwing trellis netting over cage.

 

[LordofDanknis]

You're gonna have like an ounce of hash off the trim alone, not to mention the beautiful buds!

I love watching them grow outside. Your going to have some serious monsters along with about 30lbs that will definitely last you through winter. I wish I was your neighbor.

[NOCO Farmer]

Wow, these baby's are growing up so fast, Great job Dank!!

 

[PeeJay]

Forgive my sense of humor, but having most "cannabis friendly" neighbors next to a grow like yours would be sort of like having a bitch in heat across the fence from a pack of horny un-neutered dogs.

Blue Dream Haze is going to get passed up soon since it has been retarded.

Sage'N'Sour getting nice and busy

Blue dream branches out like crazy, constantly topping her.
