BigTex Outdoor '09 Growshow

No Kidding, I had always thought that MG should buy advertising on High Times. You can measure this stuff and dial in results.

I don't know how well MG would work in other soil types/conditions/climates but it seems to work pretty well here. It won't leave a funky taste in your smoke as long as you flush well a week or so before harvest. Alot of people say bad stuff about it.....different strokes for different folks I guess. Hey whatever works

Did some gardening today and took some pics with my new camera, it's much better than the one I've been using. I'll put up an update & pics tomorrow. Peace

I've heard bad things about using Superthrive on Cannabis in flower.

How much do you use per gallon of water?

Few drops per 5 gal. What have you heard?

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

dude you gotta go with organic nutes. they dont cost more, and make much better herb. ditch the miracle grow. and only use super thrive during the first week or two of flowering time. Nice plants too by the way

 

[BigTex]

For some reason I can't upload new pics. Guess I'll try again later.

Great looking grow, I'm blown away by the explosive growth down south there!
Keep using whatever the hell you want man, obviously you're having great success with it, so why change if it's destined to be mostly commercial.

I love out door grows in texas. The sun is powerful here. You have to break up the soil really well though because all of the limestone. Sativas really love it in texas too

I didn' dig big planting holes. Barely bigger than a three gal. container. I do sometimes but didn't think it was necessesary at this spot.

I thought I read someplace where you said you were over run with earth worms. Except for the times of high moisture, worms mean you have some pretty good soil.

You are correct. They loosen the soil somewhat.

Yea I had a BB male with alot of desireable traits for breeding purposes, so
I crossed him up with several girls. I can go into detail.......picking a male for breeding is part knowledge & part luck. Maturity date, space between nodes, pollen sac to leaf ratio, size, growth habbits,etc.

Taking me forever to download all my pics from yesterday so it'll be tomorrow before I can post em up with captions, but here's a lil taste to wet your appetite.......

.......until tomorrow...

Christ! Those plants are massive! Great job man.

 

[Tripsick]

[BigTex]

are they about 8 foot tall?

Most, the tallest one's are about 10'-12'.

 

[Tripsick]

So sometime in October they should be in full effect?
and they will be larger than they are now?

In the pic above the trichs look like they are 1/16th of an inch long....

Just curious as to what you look for in pollen sac to leaf ratio? I just visited my plot and cut a few branches to take home from a male which had abnormally large and prolific testicles hahaha. This guy's balls were around twice the size of any of the other males that I chopped and there seemed to be less leaf, more sac in a really dense budlike structure. I've never really seen such a dense male plant.

I took these branches home and stuck them in a glass of water to use for pollinating a few things I have on the go. Just wondering if the big balls and sac-to-leaf ratio I selected is a good thing or bad in you're opinion. I've never done any breeding and you obviously have much more growing experience than I do, so I thought I'd ask.
Sorry to hi-jack you're thread, you're monster's are looking amazing!!

Lookin good Tex. Can't believe I haven't see this thread before (OIC, its because its not listrend in the OD threads). Your garden is beautiful.
