Yeah; outside growing makes controlling those parameters kinda tough haha.
Haha, in my college days, 1990âs, I advised/consulted friends/housemates on some indoor growsâŚ
@Big123 dude you are killing it nice job
Thank you!
I prefer the vaporizer when I medicate to not interfere with my running hobby. Still make these for the wife, fork there for scale.
Yes I agree with everyone else on here, your killing it @Big123, one day my friend one dayâŚwhen I wonât have to hide mine in the middle of a honeysuckle patchâŚlolâŚbut for real they look awesome
My wife would keel over haha! Sheâs the âOne Hit and Quitâ girl. And what is that stuffed with, may I ask?
@Big123 - Your ladies are so Beautiful - Incredible Colors , so vibrant. I hope you donât mind that I look at your Ladies everyday !! Im also an outside grower , You are so Inspirational

ILGM AK-47 auto from last seasonâŚgood day time strain, has a blueberry smell and taste. A bomber like that good for a few sessions.
The NL autos getting chopped tomorrow. Itâs interesting that the main stalks - already chopped by the way -took the brunt of the stunting, these that i left grew more typically.
Watering the big ladies this morning, wanted to wait til tomorrow, however, the GSC-x was complaining a little.
@Big123 itâs like Iâm waiting for T-Rex to stick his head out. Just beautiful! You give me inspiration!! Thanks
Your plants are beautiful
They looking wide now and still stretching. About how far are they currently sticking out from the cage supports? Are you planning on bracing the outside perimeter? They look like they will have heavy nugs and will flex a good amount is why am asking.
@LF-the-OG All great questions, Fire OG, CA Dream and GSC-X, hanging out the most, from 10 to 18 inches, Train Wreck, Kosher Kush, and GG#4 hanging out from a few inches to 12 inches. I plan to support the branches as needed, currently focused on bending and training to keep below fence height, hoping gravity helps weigh down the heavy flower clusters about to start forming. Itâs looking like 1st week of flower starting to happenâŚIâm pretty much done super cropping from here on out.
@Big123 you seem pretty experienced in growing and youâre sort of near me, same growing climate, what will you use to control pests when your girls flower? Also, I was thinking of moving one of mine inside to flower, once my other girls finish flowering and drying inside. They probably have another 4 weeks until harvest and then Iâll be drying in the tent as well. My concern is that they start to flower outdoor before I can neem treat it and bring her inside. Just wanted to see what you thought, thanks.
Iâm up in Santa Barbara County so somewhat similar. Identical to the pests lol.
Neem oil should be applied as a preventative and should be done weekly FYI. There are other strategies including the use of BtK spray (beneficial bacteria to us; toxic to caterpillars), Spinosad, peroxide and water and the best thing is horticulture cloth or screen. Thatâs the only thing that keeps the bigger stuff out. But there are little pests that require the Neem oil and peroxide spray like spider mites which can decimate your crop without you knowing.
Do you use all of those things during flower? Neem just smells nasty and Iâm sure it will taste nasty. I do plan to do a wash with baking soda and lemon juice in a five gallon bucket of water, followed by two other plain water rinses. I just donât know what is cool to use on the buds, if at all. Itâs going to be painstaking to treat it while not getting anything on the buds.
I have never used neem oil, your question reminded me to treat dirt part of yard with food grade diatomaceous earth, have not done yet this year. I had bought extra bag last season.
I started using this for caterpillars/worms.
Bringing outdoor plants back inside Might just give bad insects a ride inside on plant and since theyâll be inside no beneficial insects able to keep the population of the bad insects down, could spell problems. I would say they would need disinfecting/spraying before coming indoors.
I think neem smells rather citrusy and pleasant. Iâm sure i wouldnt want to taste it on my buds tho.
