If you could put out one plant already a large bush in the hope of getting a tree what would it be???? Would need to be a photo good mould resistance and would need to finish sept early oct. Maybe a question best answered in oct but u must have done one plant that sticks in the memories when u thought i wish it was bigger come cropping. Never to early to make plans for next year. You've basically described Purple Maroc. It's a bit old skool now, it was a very popular strain 8-10 years ago. I don't see many people around these parts growing it anymore. An acquaintance of mine pulled 17oz from a single plant (well it was more of a tree) about ten years ago. Was an incredible all round strain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an early finisher, big yield, nice smell, rubbish high. Might be different now, but mellow buzz at best, left me wanting more.. Don't get me started on Easy Sativa...

MindSoup Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I remember years back a guy did some kc brains Mangos (iircs) in huge pots in his garden, absolute trees!! Can anyone remember who ? Start early, under lights, plant it in a huge hole as early as possible, feed it loads, you'll get a monster with many a photo strain, DFGby Real Gorilla looks to get pretty huge.

I honestly have no clue, was a long time ago now, like 5-10 years, he had them hidden amongst a big garden structure, the stalks where like tree branches.

the ferret Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 theres been some monsters on here over the years. i wonder if you vegged a plant till you got a good root mass in say a six litre pot so you got a really good head start. and you put it out at the start of may. how many litres of good quality earth would that one plant take up by the time it come to give it the chop say at the start of October. i know its like asking how longs a piece of string but im wondering just roughly if you wanted to grow just one big plant. im thinking 50 to 60 litres would be enough. i saw that old photo on here the other week of the Essex gold plant a guy had in his back garden in a pot and the pot was 35 litres and it was obviously root bound by the size of it and in full flower. ferret 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphyblue Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Its defo on my todo list for next year hopefully will be better organized than this year. I have a few out in 15 gallon fabric pots that are doing well but to get to monster size will have to go really big i reckon. Anyway wasn't thinking of putting her in a pot when she goes out was thinking straight in the ground in a pre-prepped plot of her own. Couple of large squared metal cages like the americans use to spread her outwards should be piece of cake will be able to see her from space. Would be a good idea for a comp for the outdoors "Grow your own tree" but as im poor prize would have to be your harvest. Got until crimbo to decide i get bored easily and crimbo is the worst time 5 months before planting out though will be alright im sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layered it up starting with coir at the ground, used soil from an indoor grow, dung, woodland soil, more coir. That little seedling didn't last long but should be better next year.

Amaethon Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 @Amarillo slim looking good so far. I see it's got the electrical protection that you mentioned in an earlier post. Be very interested to hear how that works out. Here in the wet west slugs are a serious issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
