 Inverted and Lucid Go Big Outdoors (Photo Update Sep. 25th)  3

Hi there, many of you may already be aware of what I have been so busy doing lately but if you don't I'll have to fill you in shortly.
Me and Lucid have been putting everything we have into this outdoor grow. We both sacrificed having smoke for a few months so that we could use our grow rooms to veg plants until they were sexually mature before planting outside. Well we ended up vegging for 2-3 months and everything has worked out well for us. Very good weather and conditions this year, not to mention we busted our asses more than any past year to complete plot preparations. Pfew I'm out of shape!
I'll be brief for now, I just want to get the journal started. Hopefully I have enough motivation to go back and edit the main post so that this turns into a proper grow journal. I have plenty of time 
Each picture is a separate plant, they've been outside 4+ weeks and have 100 more days of veg before they flower. Muahhahah. I'm tired from digging so damn much lately.
I'll start with the small plants... Clones of Bubba Kush x Super Skunk and Hindu x Master Kush
And now the big ones. Aurora Indica, AK-48, and a very large BK x SS clone. Over 2 feet already. (first picture...)
G13 Haze x Mango
Dug a 3'x3'x2' deep hole for ONE plant. Hauling and mixing the rest of that hole tomorrow.
P.S.- I have 40 seedlings to transplant, and 30 germinated seeds to put into soil...

You might be on to something here!
Muchos Gracias. I wanted the most weight with the fewest amount of plants so I figured why not do what they do in cali?

Wow thanks for all the awesome replies!!! That's the type of reaction I was going for this time around.
Staying safe is my top priority. All plots were carefully chosen and none have more than 5 plants, and even then they are scattered and blend into surroundings. I live in a rural farm area and I drive an additional 15-20 miles to get to my plots which are in the middle of nowhere. I've used some of the plots multiple years and have never had any issues, animals or human. I do a lot of planning before I start digging holes... 
2 more clones went in the ground tonight, and tomorrow I'm putting out a FIM'd G13 Haze x Mango and a "freebie" that was the fattest Indica in the bunch, all fem's. The ~30 seedlings were struggling and stretching with only occasional sunlight so I booted up my veg box and stuck them all under 100 watts of CFL's. I also took 4 bushy ass clones and transplanted them and put them in my Flower Cab under the 150w and 150 watts of CFL's. I'm vegging for a week then flowering them. No scrog this time around.
Stay tuned.

Thank you aerie and Spency! That is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear... 
I put a ton of hard work into it this time, so hopefully all that extra effort and time will be well worth it
A few keys wouldn't hurt the ole' pocketbook.

That's what it's all about. Hard work, dedication and time. Then after months of toiling and hardships, you fucking reap the fruit of your hard labor and smoke yourself to oblivion. There is just no better feeling. 
I have a feeling I will probably disappear for a while hehe. Thank you spencer, we really have been busting ass. 10 more holes were dug today, but these only needed to be ~20 gallons because the plants going in them won't be as large. We have 30 more to dig throughout the next couple of weeks, and hopefully by that time all of my seedlings will be large enough to handle the transplant with ease.

This is gonna be insane, awesome job so far. I can't wait to see how this turns out in the fall.
YES, that's exactly what I'm thinking. It may be insane, but it's a labor of love. Thank you, I hope everyone is excited because I can't even contain myself, lol.

Woooooooooo yeahhh baby you know togs is what I've been waiting for inverted glad to see you finally got the motivation to make the thread! Plants are looking great, going to be monsterous !!
Gracias amigo! Yeah I wanted to wait until I had a day where I visited all of my plots, because I rarely have the opportunity or need to visit all of them and get pictures. It was nice to be able to see every plant in one day, it really gave me a scale of things to come. It's funny looking at the corn fields and soybean fields nearby and I usually plant AFTER the farmers and I usually only veg indoors for a couple weeks before I put them out. This year I have fully grown plants in the ground for a month before the farmers even planted. These next 3 months of Veg are going to crawl by...  At least I still have a month of labor left before I can finally sit back, water/feed every week, and watch the colas form.

d00d, you should start a contest Inverted. Whoever comes closest to guessing the yield gets a prize
Actually that sounds like a pretty good idea. I'll have to set up some rules like you have to guess in increments of 10 Grams, for example as a rough early season guess, and without doing all the math and shit, I'll just throw out 6,120 Grams...

It will probably take a week, but that's cool because the first branches trimmed will be ready for testing by then. We just filled 10 more holes tonight w/ soil, so they are ready for plants. Only 25-30 more to dig. Keep in mind all of the seedlings going out will sex in their holes so if we discover males we will just rip em out and put a replacement in...
Time to smoke a bowl

since they are so big already and you put good soil. not sure where you live but those things prob wont even start flowering for a couple months+. I would imagine them gaining a few more feet buy then, depends on strain but they will prob be 5feet or six then start the flower stretch! so some of those i bet you will be over a Lb very easily man. prob 1.5 2 range, but i am talking out my ass, just buy my figuring. have to wait and see!!!!
We have 75 days left of veg approximately... Half of our plants will be around 8 months old when they are harvested. I'd say at least the first 15 could ALL break an elbow. Each day is crawling, we have a FULL day of hard labor ahead of us today. We have really put a lot of hours into this, but you get out what you put into it and this is by far the hardest I've ever worked on plots.

More Pictures!
Every single plant picture is a separate plant, except the obvious group shots and 1 or 2 of the cool angle shots are repeats but the rest are all individuals.

Nah that's me. I shaved my hair off recently...
Yeah we did some 4x4 with the tractor. Was pretty awesome, except when we got stuck and I had to push.
This is going to be nice when we can finally sit back and relax in a month.

Here ya' go buddy, thanks! That is personally one of my favorite plants. It's fucking huge in person, most of the pictures are very deceiving unfortunately...
Aurora Indica is the strain.

Finally got around to getting these out of the seedling trays and into keg cups. I was out of cups, and too busy taking care of my other beauties and waiting out shitty weather. They aren't a high priority as they are just bonus basically, but given the nice ass holes we prepared for them, with tons of perlite, they are going to get a couple ounces per plant.
Still have 14 to transplant tomorrow, plus I'm taking 20-30 clones from my indoor run when I clear out the undergrowth tomorrow, and we are going to toss those out when they root too.

Thanks, it comes with experience. It's not as easy to take care of large numbers as most people think going into this hobby.
That's probably a good plan, but if you can, I would go out and look for at least 3 30w CFL's to replace those 15 watters, it will make a HUGE difference.
Yep, that's about the minimum but just get them arranged for the best coverage and keep them 2-3 inches away and you should be fine. Just keep reading those CFL journals and check out "Harry's CFL ladies" thread. Search for it, he didn't use a ton of light and still got a few ounces of great herb.

Yes, soft white are for flowering (2700-3000k) Cool blue are for Veg, but you don't even need to get veg lights, I use soft white for everything and have bushy plants when I used to veg with CFL's. And if you do, run everything for flowering, you'll need all the light you can get. Good luck!

Read read read, that's what the site is for. Use the search function you will find all the basic information. You don't need to ask a question for every answer TBH.

Thanks man, congratulate Lucid too, he's got just as much at stake here as I do...
I have been geeking out all day, these plants were GERMINATED in June...
Ours were germinated and/or clones in february/march
Not to mention those ~30 seedlings I just posted, will be that large if not even bigger. Meow!

Well, here's the late starts, they are looking pretty good, although very small for their age but we haven't had the best sun lately. They should sex shortly, then we can put confirmed females into our pre-prepared plots.
We have ~25, I took the best 19 in the pic

Thank you, they have begun sexing already, only a couple but I'm sure the others won't be far behind. Generally they show up after about 4-6 weeks after germination, if grown correctly. I have a very good eye for preflowers as I have been spotting hundreds of them for years. I have had plants show me a false preflower before and I am really uncertain as to why that would happen but it has. I have only taken clones from flowering plants so that I could be certain they were solid fems, and had no problems at all with it and it even caused me to get many tops as you can see with my 250w run.
We are finally getting some sun! It has been a couple weeks of nearly solid overcast or rainy days, and the forecast is pretty stable for a week so maybe we'll finally see some new growth and make an update.
