Beautiful arrangement & eager to see your next images! May I ask what company made your cozy hoop house?

Sorry I can't ... I bought it second hand NIB and the manufacturer sticker was not on the box. Dimensions are 2x2x4.
You'll notice the plastic is pulled a bit tight on the lateral bars on the walls ... I got that bit wrong and put them on the wrong side of the uprights (I blame chinglish instuctions haha) however have now put them inside and the plastic fits perfect.

These pics are from today, Oct 28.

You will notice a few damaged leaves throughout the plants, this is from earwigs. A few whitish spots too, that's from white oil.

Will start with Dinafem Seeds Original Amnesia Feminized. This one has been a bit slower than the others to get going however I've grown this one before, once it gets to five or six nodes it comes on strong.




Sensible Seeds Premium Selection CBD Apocalypse Feminized




Sensible Seeds Premium OG Kush




Sensible Seeds Premium Selection Power Plant Primo






Northern Lights x Panama ... far left plant is one week younger than the other two.



Check the branching on the back, far right plant ... LST at work.




The so called Big Sativa ... turns out it is an Auto of some description ... got given the wrong seeds. Noticed today that BS#1 had grown balls and BS#2 has first show of hairs.
BS#4 is one week younger than 1, 2 and 3.





The offending culprits on BS #1.

Hi everyone ... thought I would share this seasons organic outdoor grow as most grow journals here focus on indoor ... variety is spicy.

This years seeds came from Sensible Seeds ... shout out to those guys, great stealth packaging arrived in quick time from the UK to a man behind the Green Curtain in the Kingdom of Oz.

Strains are:
Sensible Seeds Premium Selection CBD Apocalypse Feminized
Sensible Seeds Premium Selection Power Plant Primo (freebie)
Sensible Seeds Premium OG Kush (freebie)
Dinafem Seeds Original Amnesia Feminized
Got a couple of Auto strains from them too however they be the subject of another thread.

There are two strains that are not from Sensible Seeds, first is a Northern Lights x Panama from last years grow ... NL was a clone, Panama was from regular seeds I had. One of the Panama that was next to the NL ended up with a few bananas ... didn't get to it in time and the NL threw 5 seeds.
The other is a strain given to me by a friend ... was told it was a large sativa. Today brought a surprise that it's not what it seems ... will go into that next post.

These are all grown for medicinal properties ... for myself as I have intractable epilepsy ... cannabis does a far better job of making epilepsy bearable than being on a solid diet of shitty pharma drugs that are even less effective than cannabis. Plus I also help out quite a few other people with a range of illness and ailment ... but I digress.

Started these seeds in a cup of warm filtered rainwater with an extreme dilution of Organic Amino and Ryzo. When split with a decent tail they were put into some seedling mix (Sept 23) on a heat pad under lights at 14/10, that being about the hours of daylight when the seedlings would be put in the greenhouse.
Lights weren't actually my chosen method to germ these but as the long range weather forecast after the solstice was looking antarctic with cats and dogs it just had to be.
The greenhouse arrived a few days late too so the seedlings spent a little more time than wanted under lights ... can't rule the weather or the postman!




Once I got that little green tunnel of fuzzy feelings and warm love built the seedling were transplanted (Oct 05) into my homemade 4 litre smart pots with Canna Terra Professional and a little Canna Clay Balls mixed in.

My smart pot handywork ...




What they look like on Oct 14, nine days after being welcomed to the outside world.




Oct 19, let the LST begin ... get em early while still supple at the root of the stem. Used bamboo skewers for this first step of LST ... sticks facing south to allow most available sun to get in and create more vigorous lower branching.




Look what I found on Oct 28... go for one weeks holiday and seems these little beauties have been very happy campers ... will have to cut some new, longer stakes.




Next post will be looking at each strain from pics taken on Oct 28
