Ready To Go Outdoors

[1toke]

My first real grow light seems to be doing pretty good. At least I think they are. Transplanted to 4 and 5 gallon pails a couple days ago. I have 4 with rotted horseshit and perlite. The other 3 straight horseshit. My first time using perlite with the horseshit with a 4 manure to 1 perlite ratio. Thinking I will stick with just the horse manure but time will tell. 3 of the 4 with perlite had transplant shock the 3 without were fine. I am going to bud 3 of these indoors and the other 4 will go outside if the weather will warm up. Probably around Mothers Day.
So far I am happy with the light. Viparspectra P2000 in a 4x2 grow room. Actually just under 4' long. Here is what they look like now.

Keep them all inside and thank me later 😂

bboyfromwayback Can you explain why?😀

Unless you live in the few areas around the world that are known for cannabis cultivation, the outdoor game is really, really, really (did I mention really) unforgiving. Best of luck! ✌️&💚

I have been growing outdoors for years and don't have room for that many plants to harvest in my 2x4 grow room.👍

Go ahead fella do your outdoor gals. Sometimes you get great results and sometimes you have loads of issues you know this. Bugs and weather all parts of farming you deal with it or throw in the towel. I grow outdoors every summer deal with bugs and weather you just come prepared best you can. Go for it.

Unfortunately no, it’s a lesson best learned from experience

The ones I leave inside will be my 2nd grow to harvest inside. I will be 71 yrs old in June. I have grew outdoors quite a few years and the only ones I lost the State Troopers got. It is legal now in NY so I will be ok outdoors now.😉
I do have a couple dozen autos that I will be playing with when the ones I leave inside are done. I am looking forward to that. Gotta have something to take up some time in retirement.

I hear ya NY i'm a 68yr old lady grower been growing outdoors for 40+yrs. Legal or not got ripped off 1x. Legal for us is 4 per house hold i push it abit:laugh:. I grow in 15gal pots and 5gal for my autos outdoors. I'm growing 2 photos indoors now a very special cross from colorado and my favorite indica crosses. I just finished 4 autoflowers from my tent and it's curing now. I just love growing plants i won't stop till i drop.

Those are auto flowers on the table and photoperiods from last summer keep on truckin

Looks good! I don't smoke that much anymore. Almost everyday but not all day like when I was younger. I love growing it though. Going to eventually try perpetual grows. My youngest smokes close to an ounce a week so it might be a challange until I get going. Whatever I grow will be less trips to the rez for him. We don't live far from the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation. They have tons of dispensaries and wicked good prices. I run out and get a vape pen once in a while. Some people I know quit growing and just go to the rez and pick up their smoke. Actually at 50 bucks a zip you cant go wrong I guess.

Happy Growing!
