Out door grow

[Potted]

The way this spring is going we might b able to plant outside by June. Just kidding, I hope!

[Paracelsus]

Snow tonight on the east coast

[oldjarhead100]

Thats whats in the forecast ,damn this is just hanging in there Its worse than a bug infestation lol. I think it going to this way until mid may then its going to be 110 in the shade for the summer then start snowing again in Sept. LOL
the ten original skunk are in root riots and just stating to show ,the next 10 are just starting to show tails . I have some fast seeds coming from seedsman they are traveling as we speak , then after they are all in riots I will clone the Pine apple chunk and maybe throw the clones of the tutankhamon in the mix That would give me 6 different strains with ten plants each , plus some give aways for other people

[GreenState]

Good morning oldjarhead, cold here as well, had 16 degrees this morning and 2"-4" of snow in the forecast.
Question for you and maybe I missed it....how do you go about hardening the plants for outside transplant? Especially in regards to putting them in direct sunshine? Last year I took about a week moving them in and out of the sun, indoor/outdoor to acclimate them to the transition. Any opinions? After a few attempts I did finally get 2 monster clones of my aggressive plant, like 5 weeks into flower.
(I smoked the bud I pinched off the top!(lol)). They have developed roots finally and one is sending up a new shoot. They are destined for outside gorilla growing, first week of June hopefully in the ground.
TIA

[oldjarhead100]

GreenState thats all you do is bring them outside during the day for a few days ,I try and leave them longer each day so they get the cool night temps ,when they have done that they stay out unless it going to frost . just going to mention this I dig 5 gallon holes in the woods and bring my dirt out they are way less visible this way . I took a buddy out with me one time and Im taking off my back pack and he says where are they we were standing in the middle of seven he shit when I pointed them out

[Paracelsus]

I’ve Got a few weeks maybe even a month till it will be suitable for me to do a gorilla grow. My spots are picked out and one of them I can see from my window. I’m doing it so I can catch the sunlight I’m trying to find places out of the way where you wouldn’t expect to see them and yet have them totally exposed to the sun light on all sides from early morning to twilight sunsets every night. Every day I add another 5 gallons of soil mix or compost to one of the locations and walk away. Hiding them in plain sight.

oldjarhead100 do you feed or train any of your gorilla grows? Or do you depend on Mother Nature?

[oldjarhead100]

haha I've been posting in a different thread cloth bags for outdoor grow will switch back to this one lol

a few of the pictures I posted

[Paracelsus]

What size bags are those in the third picture oldjarhead100?

[oldjarhead100]

the Black Zombie is in dirt the first two pictures are of the runts one had roots showing but the other didn't ,the 3rd picture is of the first 6 and the last is of all 43 ,

I will be doing clones on the tutankhamon and the pineapple chunk as soon a the clonex gel is here today (I will be doing them even if I have to run to store and pick up a pouch) but it should be here

[RosettaStoned]

It's gonna be a jungle

[Canuck147]

Looks great, nothing but a whole lot of fun.

[oldjarhead100]

I did a little cloning yesterday I did the tut first by just cutting back the gallon pots I got 20 clones I haven't started to clean up the ones in veg . then I did the pineapple chunk took a foot or two from the top and cleaned up the bottom some I still need to do a defoil on it but the 24 clones were enough for one day the last picture is of what I stick the cuttings in before I put them in root riots ,those are a dozen more pineapple chunk as well but I didn't have any more 9 space trays the riots fit better in those rather than the 6 pack ones

[PuravidaC]

Saw this the other day and I think it applies to all of us on the East Coast! "Mother Nature apologies for the Spring weather but Father Time won't pull over and ask for directions!"... Damn near 80 degrees here last week and snow over the weekend!!!

[RosettaStoned]

Same here in the upper midwest

[Paracelsus]

Starting to feel the spring humidity, budding trees, flowers, plants and birds singing early in the morning before the sun comes up.

[oldjarhead100]

Birds were chirping and I looked out the window to see ground white again WTF 1 to 3 expected

[oldjarhead100]

this is the pine apple chunk mother plant she will bloom inside but all her babies will be outside

[oldjarhead100]

Paracelsus my friend does hydro he grew her then when she got to big he sent her to me I only took one set of clones .I dont know how many he did.
She only has a 100 w light over her so when I'm down their I move her over so she gets more light its only for a week or two my bloom room started week 9 today

[Paracelsus]

I wish I had friends like that, well I have one or 3 still. And I consider myself lucky.

[oldjarhead100]

Paracelsus I know what you mean old friends are a rarity these days I still have 3 or 4 to ,

[oldjarhead100]

so I gave the seedlings their first feeding with folier essence on Friday and took pictures yesterday Last picture should be second

[GreenhouseEffect]

Oh ya those look happy. Nice collection of plants!!

How long do you have to wait before you can put those in the ground OJH.?The ground is still way to cold up there now ain't it?
Its just now getting warm enough in Dixie.

[oldjarhead100]

they wont go out till the end of may ,I will top them a couple of times before that , to cold up here Daas there still snow on the ground lol I had some left over mulch from last year so the wife and I cleaned up the front yard and planted some pansies tried to spread the mulch,the first 4 inches was thawed the rest couldn't get a pitchfork in it

[GreenState]

We must live in similar climates OJH, still plenty of snow on the ground here, 25 or so at night.. I'm definitely running a week late in starting my work season this year.

[Trichomefarmer88]

Looking nice Ojh! I have about 10 bubba kush clones, 6 Agent Orange clones, 2 girl scout cookies clones, an two OG Kush seedlings I'm going to clone at least ten or so more cuts of them for out doors, this year will be my first attempt... I'm going to be putting them straight into the ground after I dig up the spots an mix the soil with my worm compost I've been doing all fall an winter.. have two 20 gal totes full with fresh worm poop 💩 !! Plus I have some soil amendments going to try an mix up the ground soil with it all an only water all summer.. going to try an camouflage them all in naturally grow some cover crop an also going to get some neem seeds to put around the base of all the plants. Wish I could get a few hundred gal pots but... Not this year... What do you think man?

[oldjarhead100]

Man o man did I have a reaction to the AO clones dont like that name at all 30 years of pain and misery from it dont need reminders lol ,ok back to the conversation I plant my outdoor girls in the ground i dig a 5 gallon hole and in they go you will be surprised by how hard they are to see most people wont even see them

[Paracelsus]

I felt the same way when I saw that name @oldjarhead. They Should’ve called it orange Creamsicle

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey OJH, alot of times, we dig holes and bury the whole 5gallon buckets, so we can move them if we have too, and we have had to move them several times over the years.
But growing on the river bank we don't do that cause its safe there, except for the deer.
PS- can't wait till y'all come down later this year for bowseason.

[oldjarhead100]

my clones are still alive and getting sprayed with clonex every two hours yesterday was looking at the seedlings some of them are ready to be topped but I dont have any room at the clone inn lol a few more days ,I think last year the cycle was 10 days not sure though

[oldjarhead100]

so this is the 8th day since I took the first clones so a couple more days ,my bloom room is in week 9 and filling out nicely so I will be able to have space for all the clones oh happy days

[oldjarhead100]

I spent some time yesterday to figure out how much soil I need for the outside grow ,I'm replacing all soil in the wood its been 3 years and even though we amend it growth has gone down so its time for new so heres the numbers I used roots organic soil to measure but I will need the equivalent of 20 bags of the original and 10 bags of green fields there super soil . so looking forward to carrying it all out to the woods lolI am using up a pro mix bag that equals 4 bags and some old dirt from the midget autos that didn't use all the nutes that came to two bags I have 1 bag of lobster compost I would add more but the package doesn't list amounts of ingredients so even though its cheep 5$ for me can't go with it they had some COM platinum growers mix but it was 18 my cost 29 to public ,so I need to come up with 7 bags of original and 5 of the green fields ,I have 2 and I also have 3 5 lb bags from kind soil I did all this so I could get all I needed today in Worcester

[Potted]

Beleave it or not I actually got that the first time around.... now just don’t forget the list!

[oldjarhead100]

but they don't say what the quantity is of each ingredient, could be cow shit with 1 tail lol

[Chefbjy]

Nice I was wondering how you prepped your holes out there OJH. My spot has never been grown in but there's a lot of vegetation nearby. With years of moss and mulched pine. Think I can just amend what's there with some p and k? I have some wood ash I was going to pack up out there and mix in my holes with the humus. Should I add more n out there too? And how are you watering all those plants in the woods? I live near a creek and was thinking of running something from there but it's like 2miles of line 😆. Not trying to do a forest till I can get that figured out 😉.

[Paracelsus]

[RosettaStoned]

These guy make some good stuff

[oldjarhead100]

my dad had a cardio appointment yesterday so no time I got home just in time to pick my honey up at work so I had to go water the seedlings when we got home, right now they all get about a half cup of water but thats going to increase soon , I'm just amazed at how much they grew overnight

[Paracelsus]

Lets give a cheer for all the Dads out there and their sons too

[Tika]

Indeed. 🥃🥃🥃🥃
