Hi.

I'm looking to plant some 'Big Bang' plants outside. I want to grow some large producing plants but after propagating them and indoor growing (extra veg weeks before the season starts - how many extra weeks I'm not sure?) to get them to a certain size extending their veg state before they go out in May. I have excellent climate/sunlight, south facing, etc but my issue is food. I will give them a great start with grass cuttings/veg left overs, cow manure and straw but any European bottle food people can recommend and how many veg weeks so I can produce more bud when they flower?

Thanks ahead of time

Be aware, if you veg plants under lights and put them outside they may flower prematurely, best to time it a bit later so they go outside in later Summer. (I'm assuming you live in the Northern hemisphere).

I use Bio Bizz nutes but there are plenty of other decent brands, Canna, GHE, ect.
If you are using grass cuttings veg left overs and cow manure best to compost it first.

You can veg them as long as you like the sky's the limit- they'll probably more than double in size during flowering, depending on the genetics. Don't know the strain "Big Bang".

True, most fertilizers are close to being the same. They spend millions to make it so.

Thanks guys.

They are a Indica/Sativa plant. Would you say if I am growing them indoors first then cloning before going outside ....... how long should I keep the clones indoors?? Should I start at 18 hours then slowly reduce it to 15 hours then put them out June 1st (June 1st has 15hrs 13mins of daylight which of course diminishes thereafter)? (Northern Hemisphere)

If you put them out when daylight hours are at zenith or afterwards you should be fine. If you put them out when daylight hrs are still increasing you may well confuse them. You can veg them at 24 hrs, 18 hrs whatever, as long as the zenith has passed you should be ok. Maybe reducing the hrs a little to 15 before setting them outside would be a good idea to give them a gentle ride.

If you want 24' trees then start vegging them clones now.
