oh ya Slowburn I slacked a bit this year too. Definitely not the best of my performance. Never is enough though. Its camo'd nice but not big enough

all the lower branches from the moms are around as clones too .. in hindsight i should have left more of the lower growth.

[ConstantLaughs]

is it to late in the season to start a middle of the midwest grow(as in Illinois/Missouri), and what types of things do i need to take into account?

[Treadwell]

I dunno exactly what you will have to take into account other thatn the obvious...

choppers... pests... feeding.. ect...

but im in the far north east. I lived on a military post in missouri from Dec. - Jun one year and from what i can tell your weather is slightly better than here.

I just started more plants last week... I think you could get some out.

They wont get really big or anything.. but you can get some producing plants by the fall none the less.

I just wouldnt expect half pound plants or anything.

[ConstantLaughs]

thats like what i wanted to hear, so thanks, im gonna hopefully get about 30 goin

[BCGuerillaGrowa]

hey there CL. welcome to the forums.

I wouldn't recommend starting now.

Your a little late this year and
even if you knew what you were
doing it would be difficult to make
it worth your while.

I'd recommend reading through
the various threads or the grow guide
and then search any other questions
you may have.

Invest in next year. your setting yourself up for disappointment
to start at this point.

I agree to an extent GUERILLA.. but in another sense i would very respectfully disagree..

I mean hell... every one of us probably threw out that first year batch tht didnt amount to much more than a small stash of head smoke.

I did...

He may not be bale to yeidl what id call a good pull this year being that its so late and it could be a first go around with outdoor growing.. but on the same hand...If you have the extra seeds why not???

Next year would be best. I agree there. Read, get some god seed.. ect.. hell be smil8ing bigger.

I was just answering on the note that it is POSSIBLE to get some bud by starting now.

Its not gonna be much cuz the plants wont be very large or very mature by the time the start flowering.. but he could still save himself a couple bucks throwing some out there for mother nature to handle ya know...

got some pics...

things are comin along nicely...except for the fact that like a week ago, five or six kids came walking out of the woods onto my property, trying to cut through from their neighborhood to the front of mine to play basketball....they didnt see the plants, although they came in through the fence at the edge of the woods about fifteen feet from them. there was still all the spiderwebs and trees in place at the front of the lil trail...and when they came through they hung out at the back of our yard cuz the dog until my mom in law quit cussin at them talkin bout the cops. one of the kids was like "ma'am, were not trying to do anything wrong, someone told us we could cut through here to get to such n such place to play ball"...and after a few minutes she excorted them through the yard and explained that next time they would be shot or bit by the dog...whichever came first...

i went and nailed the panels back on the fence off in the woods and put a bunch of nails backwards and bent through so theyll have a helluva time with those, and theyll get all scratched if the try the 5 or 10 panels to either side...hehe...

but there wasnt any footprints or signs that they even noticed the plants....so im keeping my fingers crossed they didnt...and praying...flipping lucky coins...kissing the roof under yellow lights...picking up coins on heads...all that good luck stuff....

.....i wish we lived in a world similar to that in GTA games cause i would get a bazooka and blow that fucking chopper out of the sky....

sorry, had to vent...f'ing helicopter is always over the hood behind me...rediculous..

but anyways, here are a few pics from yesterday...the skunk is friggin huge...







and a few of the blueberry...starting to flower a bit...





and finally the afghan kush....




thanks and ejoy.

merry growing...

Wish I could feel totally confident that all seven plants I dug holes for and stuck in the ground 6-8 weeks ago are all unequivocably (sp) girls. I started all the plants I have placed in the ground in containers and at the time of planting had what appeared to be pre-flowers but now im not so sure anymore. The new growth is not screaming with pre-flowers nor or there signs of males. Im going to cross my fingers that five of the seven grounded plants are girls but I dont think I will really know for sure until the end of the month.

I have some huge plants in containers that I dont have a clue what sex they will be. I think they are males because the ones I thought showed evidence of pre-flowers I planted in the ground for bigger yield purposes than keeping in pots. Its a little frustrating having 6-8 large containered plants that are chest high and still not showing but my males tend to show late, like in August, even if they are started in April. Indoor guys seem to find out the males in 6 weeks. Wish it were that easy spotting them early outdoors.

ConstantLaughs my oppinion would be to get some clones and plant away. clones already have mature'd DNA and can flower right away. you'll get a decent yield if all goes well, and the experience will be worth a lot.

[ILLEGAL-SEED]

people flower clones inside right away all the time... outside is more light. they will be fine.

i planted a bunch one year and got near an ounce each. around 1 foot at harvest.
