I have never grown bud outside but I am thinking about doing a green house. One question I always wonder is if the ladies should get any shade or should they be in full sunlight all day? I am worried they will get burnt if in direct sunlight too long.. Your ladies seem to be doing pretty good so I thought you were the right person to ask.
More sun = Bigger plants :) It was also my first time to grow in a green house and something I should have done all them times before! Its a good thing to get not clear plastic for covering, and this prevents the sun from burning plants because it disperses the sunlight more evenly :)
Im still waiting for more direct sunlight, as the neighbours trees are huge! I get sun from 11am til 3pm which is just over the minimum requirements of 4 hours a day
I am getting the white plastic green house so I guess I will be good to go with them being in direct sunlight for about 8 hours a day. I am so excited to see how much better they grow in real sunlight!
Ah you lucky bastard! THEY GROW WILD!! white plastic as in not completely see through? If so thats perfect! I remember my first time in a sunny country and i went away for a month and let a friend to water a plant that i let under and olive tree and it was nearly always in the shade, it was a baby and when i came bakc it was 1.2m!
Yeah, white plastic not see through. I left a picture below. I hope to have some big ones by the end of summer. I am going to try some auto flower seeds for my first time. Apparently they go from seed to finish flowering in just over 90 days regardless of the lighting schedule so hopefully I will be enjoying my own bud again by the end of summer! :)
NICE! wow, next year you should pack that fucker out bulging with mama's!
Auto's are awesome! And yes they are crossed with rudarilus (proberbly spelt that wrong!) and this type of plant flowers early , so thanks to some breeders somewhere we now have autos! Do you have any seeds yet? Also its worth (if you have the possibilty) to start autos under a light, giving them 24 hours of light in their first 2 weeks of growing.. because they are on a time bomb for flowering, this gives them a bit more growth for when they automatically begin flowering, which is usually around 30 days
I do plan on packing this fucker full LoL but I have no clue how much that is since Ive never grown these atrains or outside so the plants are prolly gonna be so much bigger than my indoor plants were..
Yes I have already the auto seeds but Im not in my home yet so I cant put them in the ground just yet.. I didnt know to keep them indoors under light 24/7 so thanks for sharing that info with me, good thing I kept some of my lights.. I figured outside was the best light to give them all the time.. anyhow, thanks for all the tips, i really appreciate the advice..
Some people give autos 3 eeks of 24 hour light, but then the roots wouldnt grow so much as they grow in the dark lol :) The plants will get huge, but thats when u can have alot of space between them and use the LST method. or just keep topping them to stunt upward growth lol.. i smell a jungle!
Im not a huge fan of low stress training, id rather top and FIM the plant instead because its way less work. LoL.. but yeah, it should be quite the jungle in that greenhouse this summer! :D
Try and replicate the ground also, like 40 -50 cm of nice soil, or even make a bed like @ceattlestretch!
I'm considering raised garden beds and using good organic compost along with something to make the soil a little lighter and a bit less dense. Good drainage is always important and its pretty humid around here so I don't want to run into any mold. I have grown for over 10 years but never outside so I kinda feel like a newb again lol.. definitely excited to try it out :)
Hihi! thats a good amount of experience there! Just keep everything the same as indoor, the only difference is that now you have like a million watt lamp and cant adjust the height hahahahahha
LoL, I think I can handle that..
outside growing is much more fun!
