Very similar to my local conditions. I'm on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, around 2300ft. If you put em in the ground right away, in a sunny spot and big enough pots, they could still give you 6'-8' plants. I suggest feeding them very soluble liquid nutes to get fast veg growth as they establish. Good quality fish emulsion will be able to give you that without nitrogen burn. Continue with the fish emulsion even after you begin the flowering nutes (kelp nutes work well) right up to just before harvest. That should give you some nice stacks. Watch the moisture content of the soil. Fast growth depletes water quickly and if they get too dry it could stall them.
Good luck and happy growing.

Thanks man appreciate that. It will be for a buddy of mine, he has only grown once and that was outdoor. It's right near a running ditch but I have to check his ph. Wanted to keep it simple for him and he still has floranova from the last time, think this will be ok?

I'm not familiar with Floranova, so I don't know.
If he's near a running ditch he needs to be careful what nutes and pesticides are used. A lot of products can are very poisonous to aquatic life. Read labels thoroughly before buying. As far as nutes go, fish emulsion and kelp should be safe but check anything used just in case.
The Alaska fish emulsion and bloom nutes are cheap. Less than $20 per gallon. I haven't used the bloom nutes yet but I'm very happy with the fish emulsion.

Grow Log 08/06/19 (seed plants)
Transferred the clones to 10gal smartpots. They were getting rootbound and a bit scraggly. Lost 3/4 of the Bananna Crack clones for no apparent reason. I think the pots may have been too small to protect the new root systems from nearly 100F days. Hopefully the last one will grab the new dirt and flourish. I decided to mix some Redi-Gro potting soil in with the Lucky Dog peat/pearlite. This should give the soil better water retenion and more inherent nutrients.

It's too late to do more. The last one almost died after transplant but I saved it by chopping the top. I think I broke the roots when I transplanted it. It's looking perky today after I pruned it. The roots should recover quickly in the new soil mix. Will do an application of silver thiosulfate on the Jack Herer soon. They're already forming flowers so I won't need to use the dep-house. Will have to make it bigger if I plan on using the 10gal pots next season.

Sorry brother, been pretty sick lately. Hard to get motivated when I feel like sh*t all the time.
Chocolate Diesel (top), Uzi Cookies (bottom)
They both came out well. The Uzi Cookies was packed with buds, more than any other plant, but the mid to lower colas were a bit larfy. I think the dep grow didn't do them justice and my full season plant will give them a chance to completly fill out. They had that classic pot taste, slightly fruity, with a very solid well balanced high. The one in the garden is about 6', loaded with branches and buds. I look forward to it in the fall harvest.
The Chocolate Diesel had dense nugs that weren't stacked tightly together on the cola. Made it very easy to trim (I liked that a lot). The smoke is very aromatic, not quite piney but very spicey. The high is an excellent dopey feeling with low munchies. This is definitely a sinus clearer and has been a God-send for relieving the pressure in my head. This is my absolute favorite of this batch with Srenots' Kashmir99 following in a close second. You've done a great job with the selective breeding on this plant. Too bad the one I grew was very small (due to a small pot, not the genetics). I would have liked this to be one of the big girls in the garden. I still have one bean. Maybe I'll breed it next year.

I didn't have my timing down between the dep harvest and new clones. The clones were too big to fit in the little dep-house I built. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to produce fem pollen without impregnating the whole neighborhood. Thinking of using one or two 25 micron mesh socks over the effected Jack branches to keep it contained but still give them light. Not using the dep-house means I can't control the flip so that adds another problem when it comes to application of the silver thiosulfate. They're supposed to get an application right at the flip so I'm watching the Jacks closely. The Uzi Cookies are already far into flower and the others are following close behind. I hope I get this right. I want beans without a bunch of pissed off neighbors. I plan on doing the first STS application in the next few days. That should give me enough time to drum up cash for the socks (they're really expensive for just a couple of mesh bags).

Thanks guys. I've gotta give a lot of the credit to Srenots, JWM2, and Phylex for the beautiful genetics. Every plant is growing off the hook and all that were harvested are fire, no weak highs among them.

Eye level shot of the girls. They're getting so big that I won't be able to get full pics of them from inside the garden soon.

I boosted the nutes on my girls this week and they exploded with new growth. The Jack Herer is about 12' now and the Kashmir99 is 10'-11'.

Sorry about the lack of recent posts lately, I've been very sick. I may have had a sinus infection for a several months so I'm on antibiotics and have been scheduled for a head CT scan. My immune system appears to be out of whack and I've had spikes in cholesterol indicating possible diabetes. There are signs that I may have Lupus and blood test are scheduled for that as well.
It's not for lack of interest that I haven't been following your grows for a while and I hope I'm feeling better soon so I can catch up. Thanks for your patience and support.
