23 out of 35 were females, nearly 66% 🥳 I put 9 of them in the ground, 2 in each 200 gallons - Backseat Preacher x2, White Widow x 2, Willys Wonder x2- and one each in the 100 gallons - Wednesdays Child crosses of Dos Si Dos, 11 Roses, Sugar Black Rose. ![IMG_9705](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/7/4/c748af8728c13d1f2a7602467f2658ef9a0388ea.jpeg) ![IMG_9703](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/9/b/c9bc006b74b298bb5743ed1e49a9caef434faae3.jpeg) ![IMG_9702](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/a/1/8a12437e68f0cb3e5db57ab9d58ccfcd5b8f43aa.jpeg) ![IMG_9701](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/6/e/16e56855e1e4f6ef4feef02b4c54260cca48f453.jpeg) I will get some CBD strains going in another garden spot soon…🌲🌈☮ I am most grateful ❤ ---

This is super exciting! 66% on all regulars ain’t to shabby my friend. Nice work. What is the BackSeat Preacher all about? Never herd of that cross. ---

It’s my 1st time growing it… Killah Priest (Sour OGxPurple Urkle) clone only x Dirty Taxi 🚖 (GMO x Chem I95) Supposed to have very high calyx to leaf ratio, a bit easier to trim, 24-26% THC. Thank you @HippieRunner1 it feels wonderful to have Mary Jane growing again ❤🔥🎰☮🌲☀ I am most grateful 🌈 ---

Not sure where you’re at but this Cali weather where I am is a trip…hot one week, cold and rainy the next. Hope your girls doing well. What CBD strains are you going to try? ---

I am in Sacramento area. I have a CBD Dragon F3, and a CBD Panties going, each in their own 65 gallon containers since Saturday. I have them both under mini greenhouse’s because of the cool and rainy schizophrenic spring weather. ---

Yeah, this weather is nuts… I’ll have to look into those strains. This is my first year growing and I have 3 of the same CBD strains and 1 high THC strain. I have one of my 4 plants outside and since it’s established and hardened. I just left it outside, I don’t have room for it inside. Whatever happens, happens at this point. ![IMG_2763](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/3/d/e3d4a018a1f835ec2a41c239e0b9dd3d37fd9d0c.jpeg) ---

That horticulture screen is a good call: it ought to keep those damned cabbage loupers off your plant. ---

Got the idea from you when I first joined! Not the neatest execution but it protects the plant and I can access it with ease if I need to. ---

@CaliRob I wonder if I could just put a plant in our compost bin and see what happens. ---

@CaliRob the roots will grow through the bottom of bag into the earth, helping the plant develop better, directly on the soil or in it. I prefer a minimum of 50 gallons per plant outdoors. Female plants awaiting homes living in mini greenhouse. ![IMG_9927](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/7/5/5759833098d4fb4ca25194354e651c1c36fef388.jpeg) I have one plant in a 200 gallon in greenhouse to help it catch up to its peers. The others seem to be adjusted and tolerating the cooler weather. 100 gallons: ![IMG_9934](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/f/7/7f744c76506a382f9c2463e7ae2ee407b879b87b.jpeg) 200 gallons: ![IMG_9933](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/5/8/a58f0617085a5447f1a547a7e9fb27d0b5e61ae1.jpeg) ![IMG_9930](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/c/c/ccc13861456d97d0e2ef168fb9c790f71c4ea26a.jpeg) I am most grateful ❤🌈☮ ---

Oh man, looks amazing! I wanted to grow directly in ground but I have clay soil and summers get too hot for most things to really establish themselves and survive. I definitely love and am jealous of what you have going on there. Do you re-use soil or just dump it and start your next grow in new soil? ---

@CaliRob I am a living soil person, I amend and re-use the soil every year, and grow cover crops in the offseason to help maintain/improve rhizosphere health. I work back most of the trim and stems into the soil, plus ashes. I started out with good organic potting soil in the big bags. I have heavy clay soil around here too. The plants can take 110 degrees and higher, more roots equals more fruits, with a minimum of 5 hours direct sunlight ☀ a day. A larger root system helps them regulate and weather the temperature extremes as well. ---

I am blown away by your knowledge on this all. I will definitely need to dedicate a small portion of my yard for something like this next year. I am growing in FF ocean forest currently maybe I’ll save what I can after harvest and amend it. Appreciate the info!
