I know soil is a huge factor so let's hear your soil recipes also for these monster 3 plus pound plants....I'm going to need around 4000 gallons of soil to fill 12 holes approximatly 300 gallons each. So if u have a great soil recipe please chime and and help us fellow growers.when you post soil recipe please try to include a total. That would help a lot.

manage the pests & mold, you'll be golden...........I'm far less concerned with soil mix or terroir.................

As a Novice the search box can be your biggest help as there is not much one could ask that hasn't been asked before.
All you need master is two things:
1) Environment
2) Genetics

1) Genetics - by far the biggest factor in yield, quality, pest resistance etc.
2) Getting healthy, disease free, light and climate adjusted plants in at the right time of the season and not having any flowering issues.
3) Location (slope, aspect, elevation, climate, all that sort of stuff)
4) Soil mix and pot/bed/hole size
5) Aerated Compost Tea

Also running seedlings instead of clones will tend to give you a better yield, seedlings are almost always much more vigorous and hearty.

Sinkyone nailed it...but number one is planning, give your plants plenty of space, bigger the hole, pot, raised bed the better, know your area's weather pattern, veg in the right size pot for the right amount of time during the right time of the year, prunning (increases yield and quality), quality soil, amendments, nutrients, compost tea, quality water (make sure to test pH and EC), fed regularly and often, don't use moms, use the best and strongest of your clones/seeds/teens, and most important, you have to love your plants or in my case, you have to be nuts in the head to continue to be in this industry, lol. Sorry for not sticking to the guildlines of 5 main factors....but thought they might help you.

Thanks for the response ......how do you manage your pest? Spider mites always hit my indoor and outdoor I buy lady bugs also and they never handle all of them

One of my favorite threads of all time. Basicly this thread inspired. Me to make this thread. But it doesn't narrow down the top 5 factors to a succesful garden

miracle grow and pee have helped me grow 3 pound pumpkins

 

[thaicat]

I hear all ya gotta do is go out, sprinkle some Advanced Nutrients ''Super-duper, funky monkey Gro-juice'' on your plant and say ''Big Mike'' three times in succession and yer good for 5lbs+.

Rumor has it, if you name your first born after Big Mike, you'll end up with a good 10lbs or more.

Seriously, anything and everything you need to know is in the T. Hill thread...

top 5 issues....
1. FEDS
2. Rippers
3. Bugz
4. humidity
5. our own stoned and stupid dumb-ass / half-ass attempts @ shit we don't know.....ie "phucking w/ it too much".....

lack of enough humus has been my biggest mistake as far as soil amendments. i have lost countless gardens in sandy clay soil and have learned the hard way that lots and lots of proper humus is very important. i am taking a sphagnum peat blend in large quantities into my poor soil clandestine grow areas over the winter when no one is watching for patch gardeners.

transplanting established plants instead of growing straight from seed.

genetics.

lots of fresh air and lots of direct sunlight yet hidden from rippers and 'copters is a real accomplishment yet necessary to grow large plants od.

reading tom hills large outdoor plants as well as several other great threads on the subject here at ic mag are fantastic sources of ideas. unfortunately, tub grows are too conspicuous to air surveillance in my area and getting bulky amendments into the grow areas in an urban environment without attracting undue attention is quite difficult.
