15 feet tall weed tree and still growing

Awesome Jack!

If the girls looking to 'kinda' be starting to flower you might get her in by December.

Been reading about growing things out of season and playing with it a bit. High sugar/sap content in your plant is what is desired. Sugar doesn't freeze and so plants with high sap content have better cold tolerance.

Volcanic rock helps to raise sugar content in plants. Lava rock/scoria/cinders, a bit of pumice perhaps. Cruched up and put on the ground and then add some mulch over top of it the worm'll use it for grit and start distributing it in your soil for you. The mulch itself will raise temperatures from the biological activity. Keep the mulch topped up and you add new space for surface root growth too.

Another great trick is rocks. Get a fit young buddy to tote some big rocks over to beneath your plant where they can soak up the sun during the day and release it at night. In the wild my friend down south uses rocks to great advantage.

You are an awesome grower, and might know everything I've said already. Much respect.

high,and no,i did not know alot,,as i stated before,all i know is what i do,each day is a learning day for me,and with comments like this,it does help,,even if i did no it all,knowing more is better,than speculating,,but i will never ever ever use anything like suger(critters and ants)but again,to each his own,,what dont work for me,can be great for others,,i did have termites on one of my tree stalks,,i was amazed when i chopped down a tree(termites),,,rocks are a great way(indian way),,mulch topping is great,,rotate topping tho(mold),,more reg dirt over what i have i do now,,again,thanks for looksee and comments,,,,Jack

Good work O8,

YOu better start planning now for what youre going to do with it when its fully budded. Shes gonna be lanky, hanging, heavy and floppy. When it reaches that state, a good breeze will beat her to death.[/QUOTEthanks,yep,that is why each yr i have to build types of webs or even a new greenhouse around this one,if i do that,,for sure all will be well!!!!

yay custom greenhouse for 15 foot tall monster

 

[08growbyjack]

i figure i,ll just 4by4 pressure treated posts 18 feet tall in 4 holes then plant the posts,and get new materiel and go to town,should work if i can do it,,it be alot of work harvesting and bagging and all what nots when so much trees and weed is involved,,if i were younger and healthier,not a problem,,but age and health prrevents from doing all when feel ok,i can just go in processing room and have a seat and clip,hang,bag,store in one day,i have to rotate stock for a while till it feels right(weed)but,yes custom greenhouse,maybe even i,ll build it 19 feet tall,cuz when starts to bud,grows tall it will,no bending or snapping tops,lost one to many that way,if i just listen to my self,i,ll do ok,,,and it is going to have to be atleast 40 feet in cumfronce,maybe 50 feet,so i hope it works and i have NOT to tie down,,,bit i dont figure huge or big buds,as after yrs of growing huge,i,ve believed to me that the huge tree ,the nice size buds,,,the smaller tree,the more huge,,but this is my experience only and thats what i have harvested huge tree,ok and nice size,,smaller tree,,,great and nice buds in size,,,again,,to each his own tho,what works for me,dont always or even work for others,as same same,backwards,what works for others,dont work for me,,but once i found out what works for me,i do my best to keep it the same straight road,once in a while i come to crossroads,llike termites this yr,,but been same for many moons,growing,soil mixes,hanging,prosesing,how late in grow when to neem,,,all been same,,i guess it is so old skool,that makes me no fool,to try to bring back the old skool,,,

shit! I thought my Thai plant is big at almost 8 feet its not flowering either and its September 16 already its barely pre flowering I'm thinking January or even feb I dont know but if I was you I'd harvest in stages harvest all the tops when they ripen and let the lower ones ripen and just keep harvesting lower every month or so and you could harvest for 4 months and get 8 or more pounds from something that big, my freind had a purple sativa that he got 5 pounds off of and it was half that size. Good job bro id + rep if I could but I can't yet so... But good job anyway

 

[zielonylasss]

That is really uncommon... I have this year few plants about 10 ft high and they are monsters... 15 ft... wow...

 

[MrFista]

Hi Jack - Sugar.... The volcanic rock raises the sap content in the plant no need to add sugar.

18 ft greenhouse - if it gets windy that's a BIG plane to catch wind with.

I'm thinking a frost cloth, and one of those net shooting guns that they get wildebeasts and stuff with hehe. But, no guns!

Best of luck buddy your plant is freaking awesome!

 

[NanoScroger]

dude you gotta post a picture of the trunk of that beast... its freaking amazing.

 

[08growbyjack]

thanks 4 looksees and comments,,all taken very well,i used my own top mulch ,,crushed oyster shell,some soil,,,,ironite,,and magic water,,,,,,should work for me,,,,,that is if the pic post i picked posted.and i had to tie up some more all around like a huge web for tree

 

[NorCalFor20]

wow nice tree man! its a female right?!

hope so!

i bet you get 5lbs at least off her, should be enough smoke to last you a while...

 

[Habibi]

u sir have some major balls, props to ya

that should yield at least 5 lbs as long as the branches dont start snapping

 

[jackel]

i like to think i grow big plants, and they always produce big buds. my small medium plants produce small to medium buds. thats just the way i see it.

 

[bounty29]

Wow I can't wait to see pictures of that right before you harvest. Awesome plant, it must be amazing to go and be dwarfed by a plant you grew.

 

[diggity]

Hell YA

 

[08growbyjack]

she is budding real fast,thangs should be ok for now just some real bondage,,bout 2 months and all done .my stalks have termites,that is new to me,,how many yrs,,like i stated before,i am always learning,,now how to rid termites next yr any ideas and ways before and after a j a,,,,,,,,,I i am off to home depot for a tape measure(homemade out of a plank 20 ft long)i am going to make me a tape measure for my tree,been wanting to for a while,she is still growing,but now mostly budding,i do no it is taller than 15 feet now,,,i have a few new ways and ideas for 09 for sure now,,maybe even whole back yard a grow garden,,,

 

[OgreSeeker]

WOW 08 that is a monster! Probably gonna need to borrow my chainsaw around harvest time...just give me a ring and I'll be there to help LOL

 

[Buddle]

Very Nice Jack!!! I agree with you on the smaller plants bigger buds theory.I get the best results with plants 6-8 ft and WIDE.Any taller and it can be a nightmare with breakage.I want my plants to be hardy enough to support their own weight etc.I used to want them as big as I could get them..no longer.Last years grow was incredible too..congrats..and good luck with the termites.Seems you'll have to treat the problem area after harvest..Lets just hope the termite nest is in your yard and not your neighbors.Although I'm guessing you have a pretty cool relationship with your neighbors..peace
