Outdoor The^Dudes High Tunnel Grow 2020

[The^Dude]

This GMO is out of control lol, she hasn’t even started to stretch yet. If you’re not familiar with GMO it’s like a 400% stretch, it’s freaking nuts. I’m screwed lol. She’s 6.5 feet tall right now, I don’t think a trellis is gonna cut it. I better cut a hole in the roof

Been there! Grew a 9ft plant in a small greenhouse with a raised bed in it, so I had 5.5 ft of headroom...... Luckily she was near the west end of the bed, so I bent her over and tired her hdown. And the branches still grew upwards to the ceiling then i supercropped them The ones at the back I just cut them off to prevent mold lol! Pulled 2 pounds in a 6x8x7 little greenhouse with that single plant!

Less than a week difference

Trying something a little different today, putting this girl into flower I cut the bottom off her fabric pot. Now her roots can travel down into the 60-gallon pot she’s sitting on. May be traumatic, may be awesome, guess we’ll see.

Things are getting good, moving toward a perpetual grow as I now have two areas in the house so I can finally veg while I have others in flower. Going to keep them smaller and aim for about 4oz per plant, that does me just fine, less work and I can pull a plant a month. I've got two worm bins going, one of them in a 15 gallon fabric pot and the other in a tote. The one in the tote is full of life, soil mites and rove beetles, gnats and worms, pill bugs, all sorts of things. The nice thing about diversity is they keep themselves in balance. This is the stuff I add to a plant if they seem unbalanced and a pest is doing a little too much damage. Really doesn't happen much as I try to allow nature to balance populations as much as possible. And that's the seriously easy way to do it. I'm all about easy. As the pest population rises the predator population will follow given time as long as that diversity is there. Living soil isn't living without all the critters.
Also seriously considering culling the huge Jedi Breaths. They're just way too big and it's too early for that, there's no way I feel like caring for them all summer and I sure as hell don't feel like processing all that. They're going to get neglected and become havens for pests and molds that can spread to the ones I care about. That, and they both started flowering in places that the interruption lights weren't hitting. I had my share of revegged plants last year, I'm not the biggest fan. If I could put them in the yard that would be one thing, but they're too big and not strong enough from being inside and in the tunnel, so the wind will just rip them apart.

Well bummer, the last one I moved into the flower room was either a misidentified male or hermied on me. Getting discarded and I’ll move the Jedi Breath clone into there instead. Have one more strong girl and in a couple weeks she’ll replace Bubba Kush in the flower room.
the male is on the right in this pic, already pulled off the big pot. On the bright side, cutting the bottom off the pot seems to have worked fine (unless it caused a hermie lol), lots of new roots where it was sitting.
