wow! those were just some beautiful, stellar looking plants. looking forward to seeing what you learned... also my second year growing autos.

love the orange/pink tone on the edge of the leaves from the bucket/pot grows. I'm a sucker for a beautiful live bud shot!

and....at the end of it all, the one in the ground has the biggest yield of them all. Almost 11 oz wet by itself. Heavier resin, denser buds, bigger badder better smell....overall, the best individual plant.

Interesting indeed!!

Interesting indeed!!

I think so, for a couple of reasons. At least logically.....
1. root systems of all bucket plants weren't really that great. They were cool and all, but, I saw lots of room for them to use yet after harvest. While the one in the ground had more dirt avail...this tells me they didn't really need it.
2. No rotation. The ones in the buckets were rotated to take advantage of sun evenly. the one in the ground didn't, and it didn't look like it suffered for it.
3. watering less overall. easier to tell if the buckets needed water. Guessed more on the one in the ground.
4. less defoliation (more trimming after harvest), but same amount for fan leaves and such. Might've had a big impact(?)

and.....<drum roll>....it's harvest time. The girls aren't taking up any more water - only the odd low bud is moving, the rest is showing enough amber to take 'er down.

beautiful work bud!! Nice...those afghanis sure are stacked with nodes!! Hey i'll let you know how my silica experiment versus mold works out.

hey man....saw this post, and reminded me to ask how your silica worked out. I know you've had crappy weather and have been hit a little. Was wondering if you noticed any difference?

Not too well unfortunately...i dread to think how bad the mold would have gotten without the use of silica. Did it have much of an effect? Not too sure...all i know is mold was realllllllllllllllllly bad this season.
