Default The Emerald Triangle

Fellow GP members,

I am going to try to keep this thread updated as this season goes by. This is my 2008 outdoor grow somewhere in the Emerald Triangle. Here is a teaser pic.
I will be tending to and protecting 25 of these MMJ plants, in the great outdoors.
I hope you all enjoy this thread as the season goes by.

I will be watching, too. I have a few going outdoors this week. I will start a journal this weekend.
Good luck. Outdoor weed is, IMO, the best.

Hi GSR. Super looking plant! I too am planting them outdoors this week. Boys first, all hardened off, have been out for a couple of weeks. And girls right now in the dark for 4 days, to start bloom,(have been on 24 hr light all their lives so they are saying WTF???WINTER COMING!!) then hardened off starting tomorrow, as there will be frost here tonight. darn. Do you harden yours off first and how do you prepare where you plant them? What do you add to the soil, if anything etc.

Thanks buddy!

Most of my plants were started from seed in Febuary, then stayed under lights for a month or so then I slowly got them used to the greenhouse. Now they have been outdoors for the last month or so. Here in Northern California we have had a fairly warm and dry spring. They are itching to get transplanted. More to follow later.

Jangel, Could you explain to me what "hardened off" means? Never heard the term...

Of course you haven't, you tropical flower you!

In locales where the temps go lower than inside or freeze, plants need to be gradually acclimated to temps and conditons outside so they don't croak. This is called hardening them off. Quite often they are in greenhouses or covered or even brought in at nights for a week or two until they are used to it, or put in protected areas. I have my plants in a building with no roof. They have shelter and get direct light but are protected from a lot of wind and somewhat sheltered from extremes in temps.

Hope that helps ya.

Makes sense...now I got it..

Yep...stays pretty tropical here, vs. where you are. Winter nights can get down in the single digits (F.), and outdoor plants, by then, are either a long time dead, or hibernating till it warms up again in Spring (and sometimes it doesn't warm up over 60 F. till summer..LOL)

Ok folks, here is this weeks update, the transplanting went great, got all the girls in there beds for this season. Below are some picts of todays progress.

This is a typical row of clones this strain is called Grand Daddy Purple.

et005.jpg

Earlier in the season I double dug and tilled the beds in preparation for this season. I decided to have the soil tested (profesionally) sure glad I did. Found the soil pH was a bit high. The lab recomended adding soil sulfer to lower the pH.

Below is a very inexpensive way to create a very large container, 5'Dia.x 3' high.

This pic is a couple of Hindu Kush females, already 3' tall. These plants may reach to the freaking moon. Its only 6/2
