I'm Back - 300 Gal Fabric Pot Outdoor - Legal Grow

[Tattoodlineman]

Hello to all my old friends. I have been MIA from the forum for the last several years due to taking care of my father who was suffering from dementia. I literally blocked everything and everybody out of my life devoting 100% of my time to him and balancing work and family. I lost him last August and I am slowly feeling my way back to normalcy.
Took me several weeks to recover my account and I finally got logged back in.
With that being said, I hope everyone is healthy and living the good life
going to jump right into this years outdoor grow. This is a legal NY grow. If you’re a grower from NY, please introduce yourself and enjoy my journey into croptober.

300 gallon fabric pots
soil- 50% promix 50% home made super soil
strains- critical, skunk and an unknown freebie

Plants went into the pots May 11 this year. These pics are from the last week of May.

And here we are middle of July. This weekend cages are being installed. Have already had several branches snap. Cages should have been installed two weeks ago, but work has been crazy busy. The electric poly wire is to keep my cattle away from plants. This garden gets full sun from 7 am till 830 pm right now.

Hey welcome back.....I'm new so you prolly won't "remember" me lol... But good on you for doing that for your father (rest him peacefully) it takes alot of commitment. I moved a few years back for my father due to cancer....so I understand the actions and thoughts required to make moves for his sake... So much love for that.

But glad things are back in order and on the mend... Your garden looks friggin bomb and if cool I'm definitely going to follow along for the finale.

Again welcome back and have a bitchin weekend

This is an unknown strain (freebie). Whatever strain this is, it did not take to well to topping and training. The stems just started turning purple last week. I think it’s a sativa strain and hoping I can get it to finish

 

[Tattoodlineman]

Here’s some of my critical strains.

My skunk that has some wind damage and badly needs to be caged.

And some more critical……..

Here is some of last years plants going into week 7 of flower.
one was a critical and the other a white widow.
Sadly, I lost about 70% of that white widow due to mold and rot. I could not stop the spread and had to cut my losses and harvest before they were ready.
They were grown in 500 gal pots.

Sorry to hear about your father.
Also sorry to hear about the budrot, I know how that feels.
Those are going to be some monsters in 300 gallon pots!
I'm in for the show.

Awesome photo..... And do you remember what you ended up with weight wise despite the %70+- that had to be removed? Sorry about that btw thats a pain in the ass.

 

[Nine Toed Hippie]

Beautiful plants. Freaking beasts! I’m going to follow along and watch.

NTH

 

[VetSmoke85]

Good on you for being there for your Dad. Those trees are awesome too!

Unfortunately I did not bother to weight what was salvaged from the WW. Couldn’t have been much more than a half pound. I was literally throwing monster colas the size of my arm on the ground. They looked beautiful to the eye, but once you spread the bud apart and looked deeper the rot had set in. We had 4 days of solid rain at the wrong time is all it took. NY is tough in October..

However, The critical plants in the 500 gal pot next to it yielded and finished great. I was able to keep ahead of the rot and yielded just over 2 pounds dry. We trimmed for what seemed like an eternity

Hey @Tattoodlineman and welcome back to the forum!

I'm doing on outdoor greenhouse perpetual grow in Hawaii. I'd love to tag along if you don't mind... really curious to see how your plants do in the giant pots. I am using 15 gal homemade fabric pots.

 

[Tattoodlineman]

Cages have been installed. Just in time too, got hit with some bad storms with wind and more coming.
Next week I will be inside the bushes trimming 1/3 of every plant away, cutting sucker growth away that will produce nothing more than popcorn buds, this will promote better growth to main branches. This is also why I leave a space between the bottom of the wire and the fabric pots. Need an area to get inside to work the plant.
