a couple plants..

[chief master bong]

its not mulch but thats not a bad idea, that would save me alot trips for watering em ill see wut i can come up with i might just break up sum tree bark thats as good as mulch right? i dont think ne thing other than deer will be a problem in my location, that and turkeys, one year a gang of turkeys actually hoped over the fence of my garden and did sum major damage. i know it was turkeys to cuz i chased em off

i have a problem with my 5 gal bucket not draining. i just transplanted my biggest od clone in it a couple days ago and it rained alot since then and when i went to check on it today there was about 3 inches of water over the top of the soil so i tilted it over and let the excess water run off. and the hole i dug and set it in was full of water to so i pulled it out of the hole and set it on level ground. but i was wonderin if i put a good layer of mulch over the soil will that help contain the water problem? if i put enough it might soak up a good emount of water before it goes down to the soil right?

[KrowleyRock]

maybe im not picturing whats going on properly, im a little high, but it seems to me like mulch would make your problem worse. adding an inch or two of mulch would kinda be like adding an inch or two of soil that doesnt let water evaporate. yeah, it should soak up the water first, but once that is saturated, the water will continue into the soil. then the mulch wont let it back up again. i think finding a way to fix the drainage issue is more worth your effort.

well the problem is my plant is already potted in there so its a little late to do ne thing now. once the plant gits going tho it should be able to drink a good amount of the water if we git excessive rain i guess ill just have to make a trip to make sure everythings ok. but ne way this plant is now about 4 ft tall :O it grew a good 1-2 ft right before i repotted it bcuz it got alot of rain and it was a in a dinky pot so it used every oz of it!

i dont think it will be quite a quarter pound but its gonna be a heft harvest thats for sure, good enough to satisfy my needs
alot of the branches r wilting i have em tied up with sum handy dandy fishing string. im gonna try to take sum better bud shots here in a few, if this camera wasnt such a pos then it wouldnt be so hard to git sum good pics

[chief master bong]

btw jackel says to feed them another week to git the most out of the yield, so ill be flushing them for about 7-10 days before i harvest.

im gonna have to take sum clones cut off my big od plant sumtime next week so i can git another indoor grow started

oh, so its the soil itself not draining, not a problem with the pot. i was thinking you could just cut a couple few more holes in the bottom put the pot on a different surface that would allow more drainage, but if the water isnt actually reaching the bottom, that wont help.

[chief master bong]

oo it reaches the bottom it just takes a little more time, and i had it sittin in a hole that i had dug in the ground and that hole was collecting water as well so really the water had nowhere to drain. but i have it in a 5 gal bucket it probly could use a couple more drainage holes other than in the bottom but its kinda hard puttin holes in a half inch of plastic, ill just have to take a knife to it or sumthin but ill git sum pics of my od plants tommorow

[chief master bong]

well i got most of the od pics today, i still need to bring my other in-ground clones to my main location sumtime soon before they git too happy with where there at now. but ne way enjoy, check out the clone!!! :O

^ thats wut i was talkin about with the holes i dug, they just fill up with water so i guess i have to leave my plants above ground. but all is well as u can see my clone is gonna be a MONSTER!!

[KrowleyRock]

a drill works wonders on puttin holes in plastic

[chief master bong]

true, but the only type of drill i have is the type u plug into an electric socket and thats not gonna do me ne good way out in the woods.

well, i tried to help, youre on your own now. hehe

[chief master bong]

hehe. well thats the way i do it, on my own.

i dont think the bucket is gonna need ne more holes tho, i cracked the bottom of it in 3 with a gardening tool so i think the drainage will be good. only time i have to worry is when we git alot of rain.

[chief master bong]

just a quick update on my closet grow. all the branches r falling over they have sum very nice long colorful buds on em! ill be harvesting this saturday which will be 52 days of flowering, the extra few days arent going to be necessary theyve already reached sum pretty impressive potential i cant wait to see how the outdoor tree is gonna do!!

got a box all set up for drying, i have 4 fishin string tied across the top, one for each plant. just had to post bcuz this week is gonna be killing me lol. i look over and see all those killer buds its enough to git me excited. ive really noticed ALOT of growth in the past few days it seems like everyday they gain more weight and more of the branches fall over, but now none of them can stand too much weight on em

ill post pics sumtime this week and then again after i harvest and git it all trimmed up. wish me luck!! this stuff is gonna be sum KILL!!!
