Wishing a good season to all my brothers out there doing there thing. Keep up the Good work and be safe. Much respect always. Bless!!
 
I throw down hella gypsum. I'm taking like 7 lbs per yard that will be piled on top of the mound area...

Then I just dump my mix on top of that which is compost, castings, peat, perlite, lava rock and a custom amendment blend.

Yes bro. More soil. This year I'm not even drip irrigating because I want throw as much soil at them as I can. Every dollar to soil. I'm flood irrigating this year because my new gardens are just large prepared areas. No more containers / mounds etc.,

@mendo420 - Sorry bro, no pics, but it did happen!

@Azde - UTFSE :)

@MrSterling - What else do you call it when a plant drops from optimum health? I call that dying. Plants going root bound is horrible for them. Brix drops when root health suffers, This opens them up to disease both fungal and insect vectored....You are 100% starving a plant if you constrict its roots. An expansive thriving root system is necessary for proper plant health and flowering...Going in to flower with a root bound plant is a dangerous dance. I'll take as much soil as I can get. Thinking you can get away with other wise is foolish...I already tried.

Blessings and RASPECT!
dont smart pots grow roots out the bottom into the soil below?
 
" Anyone have any good suggestions for holding a blackout cover down? we usually use dirt bags but they're kind of expensive. I got some old fire hose i plan to fill with sand to see if that will work. I got a quote from smart pots for a 4" round "tube" 10' long to fill with sand but they're $25 each!"

Hey bud...I just use clips (left side close up in 1st photo) I keep a box of a dozen or so, clip the 4 corners of the hot house covering (black or clear), bottom and top and use a few to pinch together an entrance opening. A couple bucks or less each, reusable year to year and reasonably quick for the daily cover/uncover process...CC

So not technically a big plant question but I figure the guys that frequent this thread have all kinds of experience with all kinds of things.

If a guy wanted to just grow a couple of 1 lb plants...say Tahoe OG. What size pots, when to go out in the sun and how big when they go into the sunshine might he be looking at?

I'd guess half a yard would give a pound and you wouldn't have to water like crazy. 18" on June 21 should get you there....

Thanks mang...that will be the plan.

edit...so basically 100 gallon pots...or I guess this would be a good time for me to try some little mounds and see what that is about.

Couldn't tell you about Tahoe but, (1) 45gal smartpot of ocean forest + (1) 8" PTW clone on the 3rd week of May will give you a pound before October at N39

25 gallon pot, half wine barrel, with about 6 cu ft. (3 big bags) of dirt and some chicken manure will give you a pound of nice meds.

Hey guys love the thread! Been following it for a while.

Anyways, I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with ak-47 outdoors and if they could tell me more about it.

Does it have potential to be a huge plant with high yield outdoors? (like blue dream, SSH, ect).

Typical plant structure?

And is it hard to get them to adjust to the outdoor light schedule without them flowering early?

Any information on top of this would be great.

Thanks,

Yocinfluence

One of the two biggest plants I'v ever seen was an AK47, the other was a blue dream. I'v never grown AK but I think one of these days I will.

ak47 yeilds well relative to plant size but thai/skunk/haze genetics will grow bigger plants by far. the ak47 has a fast flowering trigger.

if you veg her big enough over the winter she will be a BEAST in a 200gal... serious seeds ak47 finishes around oct 14th right in time for harvest moon. BEASTLY COLAS, mould resilience is a 10/10. and the high is anxiety ridden.. people crave the AK out my way.

E18 out of the Chico hills...a real beast. Crossed paths with the creator again today and we chatted more. He said loves about twice the nutes other plants can handle. Gets this weird leaf structure when you keep dumping stuff on it. Some growers thought there was a problem and only reason they didn't yank it was it was just screaming past everything else in their gardens. Biggest plant was 12 lbs. Real easy to trim to. What they're doing now is trimming dry by screening. Virtually no leaves on the buds and they are so tight easily handle a little rubbing. Then just a quick snip snip to clean up.

12.5% Trainwreck, 12.5% Nepalese, 25% Blue Night, 50% Green Crack. Insane vigor, easy to root and distinct fragrance. People really like the stuff too. Not an elite by any means but an all around winner.

Finishes around October 7.
