Butterfly Deeeee, hey ;] Props on last years success!
I went through Tom Hill's thread a good 2x and yours/HL's thread another good 2x recently in preparation for this years outdoor. It's a first time for me outdoors but I like to think I know my sheeeet.
I hope you dont mind me asking a few questions?
Only 6 plants to myself, so I really want them to push the 2lb mark, maybe even closer to 4 or 5 if possible. I'm near Sacramento so our weather here is just SUPERB.
I'm fittin on going with 150 gallon - 200 gallon DIY smart pots filled with Kelloggs Patio Plus. I'd like your opinion on the soil. This is straight off Kellogg's website:
Rich natural blend of forest products, canadian peat moss, horticultural sand, rice hulls, and perlite along with composted chicken manure, earthworm castings, bat guano, and kelp meal.
Pallet (700~ gallons) would cost me around $275 were the same amount of FFOF would be $600+.
You think this soil would work well in large planters outdoors? I'd till in extra perlite, steamed bone meal, some gypsum/crushed oyster shells.
Going to be running probably 2 or 3 Alaskan Thunderfucks, a sativa heavy bubblegum, and the rest NYCD's. Possibly a purple cut I have (Humboldt purp x Mendo purp) that comes out BEAUTIFUL and so tasty, just has problems with budrot once the rains and big buds come :S
Loved the hoop houses that were made. Was even considering throwing up miniature hoop houses to start the plants vegging late march and then replace the plastic sheeting with netting like you guys did for support.
Props, GL, hope to hear back!

Zarezuh:I don't mind the questions. Sounds like a solid mix to me. Although it's a great food,I don't like using bone or blood meal. I honestly feel it leaves an impact on the taste (not in a bad way but it's there)and I just don't like the idea of feeding plants ground up slaughtered animals.
Gotta run,lot of watering to do.
Peace.

It mostly depended on the strain. Some plants in single smartpots hit double digits and some were less then 4 pounds. The smart pots with 3 plants in each some plants yielded less that a full pound and some had well over 3. Either way I think smaller plants prove to be more efficient for a few reasons.
Holy molly cant believe I missed the start of this thread.... Love your work brother and look forward to having this journey with you.
You may proceed

Thanks for the support,interest,and friendship guys.
Here's some shots of assorted seedling. Some will go outside after being cloned,some will be cloned and clones will go outside keeping seed plants as moms. I'm going to hold off on planting more seeds for a few weeks.
Mom's
SSSDH mom. This girl don't mess around. Really unique and exciting small and taste. Lot's of resin starting early into flower,and doesn't take forever to finish. And grows buds longer and fatter then my arms. Kills it indoors too.
Chemdog x Sour d mom
It grows this. Smoke is sooo tasty! It's unfair I didn't grow more last year.
Got some Mr.Nice and Blue Dream moms and will soon be reunited with my keeper double strawberry diesel clone I planted in 2007. All dank bud,very easy to trim. Finishes in 55-60 day indoor. Going to crush it with this. A friend grew some f2's I made and it grew enormous mold free dank sticky buds outdoors last season. Might pop some of those as well.
DSD keeper
Also gave a friend some seeds of SSSHD,Witches weed,and Sour Diesel x F13 crosses I made last year and some Mr.Nice SSH. I'll be posting his progress.
Gave another friend some Rez C99 x Hindu Kush and Ganesh Strawberry Diesel x c99. They were planted a while ago. Already been sexed and I'll post the progress with those as well. They look sick!
It's on.

Never grew her outside,but my friend grew s1's I made outdoor and the results were nice. This year I'm going to run the clone,original dsd seeds from 2007,and the s1's I made outdoor.
I'm going to run the dsd clone indoor all day.

Hey Ganja D, I learned a lot from the PVC-and-hortonova setup that you ran last year. Can you tell us something about what you plan to change this time?
