Outdoor swamp grow with swamp tubes

[oldjarhead100]

Talk about blending in wow as far as damage to the plants not sure do you spray them with anything I use neem oil even if it doesn't kill the bugs they don't like the taste of it. do you give them nutrients ,are they in soil I cant remember if so why nutes, I give my outside girls water and I will spray them once a month with foilier essence or teas when I mix them

[Blazed227]

An had to mix in nutes cause I used pro mix mychorrizie an there's pretty much no nutes in it.. that an a crap load of perlite an vermiculite.. to help them drain better..beings there in a wet ass swamp lol

[oldjarhead100]

being that they are in a wet ass swamp you could set it up to cover them at night in the fall its the dew from cool/cold nights and warm days that cause bud rot if you cover them they dont get so wet and are not a problem contractor bags work good and they are usually big enough . hell if you put 2 poles on either side and one over the plant you can put a roof over them .I dont know of anything other that that to help bud rot

[Blazed227]

oldjarhead100 that's a pretty good idea.. but I don't know if that will work I don't think the contractor baggs will be big enough come flowering time.. last year I had to stand on top a 6ft ladder an still was a bit over my head..lol they were more tall then wide tho.. this year gonna try an keep them spread out a good bit.. so far there's been pretty good airflow thru there so hoping I'll be ok... Hoping..

[Blazed227]

alltatup hey look what I found on my girls outside lol called in for backup lol like 20 babys around an on the plants, he's only like 2inches long

[Blazed227]

Lol I Kno right, well beings there in a swamp it's pretty dayum wet all the time..kinda got me worried about bud rot,. I hope not tho,

I was just eavesdropping here, but it occurs to me that having mantises around carnivorous plants would be, to my mind, counterintuitive. I mean, wouldn't they be competing with each other for the same menu?

[oldjarhead100]

I would love to see a mantis around here .haven't seen one in years ,I throw lady bugs in the bloom room every 4 weeks so twice a grow That is really cool Blazed

[BillBates]

Btw....I love mantises (mantii?) and carni-plants , too.

[Blazed227]

Must be my lucky day

[BillBates]

Miz Lady came in with a fistful of those things the other day. She's like a divining rod for them. We'll be in the yard & she'll go, "Oop, found a 4 leaf clover." And I'll go over to where she is & start looking. "Oop, found another one", says she. Me? I'm still looking. "Here's one..... here's one..... here's one...." Meanwhile, I ain't found shit. My friend Cooper was like that with arrowheads & fossilized sharks teeth.

[oldjarhead100]

my wife is like that with Herkimer Diamonds ,While I'm hard rock mining shes walking around picking them off the ground

[BillBates]

Ha! ........

[Californiakid]

Haven't seen one of those in a long time .

[Californiakid]

Thats too cool 👍

[Blazed227]

Never believe it but found 2

[Californiakid]

Hahaha, Thats pretty neat.

[Blazed227]

Does anyone know what these little gold eggs are I found on the underside of my leaves? Also found a tiny green catapillars like worm in one of the leaves it was like folded over an the worm thing was covered in like a webbing... What can I get to kill these things

[Chefbjy]

Could be ladybug eggs...could be coreid bug eggs,squash bug... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllomorpha_laciniata

[Blazed227]

Well I smashed them regardless.. didn't like the look of lmao

[oldjarhead100]

they sell a fogger for the DE if you have a leaf blower just put the DE in front of plant then hit them with air from the blower should do the trick,

I'm lovin this grow man great job

[Blazed227]

Yeah they acctually have a hand pump one at the grow shop for like 25 bucks, the guy said use the deadbug spray every couple days for a week or 2 then use the de as just a deterrent to help keep them off.. said it's better to spray the girls with water first as it helps the powder stick

[D.A.A.S.69]

Blazed227, that sounds like a good plan, But you don't want the leaves to stay to wet, that could cause problems with mold an sh-t.
I can't wait to see the end of this grow, you ought to have a hellacious crop, least i hope you do anyway.

[Blazed227]

Here's some new pics of the girls.. after spraying them with the first treatment of the Capt Jack's dead bugs I have to say a good bit of them are def gone there's still bugs here or there but can already notice there is NOWHERE NEAR as much so gonna spray again tomorrow night then Tues --weds then use the de next weekend, the 2 colours(by exotic) had started flowering when I puttem out.. I guess the light in the shed an the actual outside light screwed them up.. there both back to vegging fine .. we'll have been acctually. But they are some BUSHY BITCHES Like whhaaaat lol enjoy the picks an lemme know what you guys think!!! Happy growing an growers love to all you guys/girls, have a great day everyone!

[Blazed227]

Here's a few more pics

[D.A.A.S.69]

Blazed227, man they are gorgeous, really bushy, and pretty.
I don't know how you feel about taking leaves off, but be careful of mold and mildew, if they were mine ,I'd take at least a few of those leaves off. So they could get better air flow. But that's just me, everyone is different about taking leaves off.

[Blazed227]

D.A.A.S.69 I have!! I defol them once every week or 2 depending how fast they grow back lol

[oldjarhead100]

they are looking amazing I only have a few plants that size right now outdoors wow ,I made a batch of worm cast tea and added some n and P ,I will lug it out to grow site and give it to them, and I did some spraying for bug yesterday to lol

[Blazed227]

I started all these inside an put them outside when they were about 1.5-2 ft tall.. that's y there all bigger, they all took off soon as I puttem out

[oldjarhead100]

freddyyola My outdoors plants had some yellowing leafs from the bottom up so I figured they were low on Nitrogen=N I added the P=phosphorous to aid in the uptake of nutes , they are in roots organic soil (2 Gallons of greenfields in bottom of hole then 3 gallons of original on top I have no idea why the leafs are changing but took precautions anyways what I gave them was to try and put them in overdrive for the last few weeks of veg around the 15th of aug. is when they will flip

[GreenState]

oldjarhead100 "My outdoors plants had some yellowing leafs from the bottom up" mine have as well. But looking at the trees, leaves are already changing--very early. I suspect up until the last week or so, the dry summer is the culprit. Leaves on the trees appear kind of sickly, fall foliage (big tourist business here) will be kind of blah this year imo.
all the best.....

[Blazed227]

Well I had 2 plants the colours by exotic that started flowering when I puttem out an they did get little tiny buds on them, an the fuckers already started getting bud rot on the little tiny ass buds.. oh fck my life , so I cuttem down 😱😱😤😤 ,oh well shit happens will know not to run those outside.. was gonna just cut the bad parts off but not risking them fckin up the other 12... They were sitting In Pretty much standing water all the time they were in the wettest spot possible.. oh well.. here comes 8 more days of rain... SMH...

[Blazed227]

Yeah think I'm gonna try to.. there so damn tall already tho, an once they flower I'm betting they break 12 foot.. those 2 we're the bushiest since they flipped an reverted back there was a million one bladed leaves.... Super bushy, the rest I've managed to keep under control so far an they have pretty good air movement thru them so hoping they will be ok.. guess will see,
An they may be closer to 15ft... Some are at about 8 now

[D.A.A.S.69]

Blazed227, I sure hate to hear that dude, it's been a horrible year ,this year for growing outside.
Next year might be perfect for growing outside, you never know, some years are great, some years horrible.
I guess we have to take the good with the bad, idk.
Those are some big beautiful plants ,that you have grown.

[alltatup]

Hang in there, dude!!!

[Blazed227]

Thank fuckin God this rain is over... 2 weeks of heavy ass rain .. thank God for the swamp pots... My dad's all died that we're planted straight in the ground, he used dirt mostly made of peat ,they all drowned.. mine are still good besides the bugs are running rampant because I can't keep any spray on them because it's been raining every day!!

[alltatup]

Been wet as hell in the dirty south...

[Blazed227]

Yeah I'm right near ya shotgun, in delaware

[oldjarhead100]

when we have bud rot we cut the stem off below the rot make sure the stem is green that way you dont lose the whole plant now you have me worried all my white widows are in bloom they looked ok last Monday but who knows

[GreenState]

have to be within a week or so of flowering here. Been hammered with heavy rain at times for the past few weeks.
But plant is hardy, about 5ft now, has excellent drainage, obviously planted directly in the ground. Continuing to prune out the small inward pointing branches where "fluff-nothings" will form. Still trying to decide whether to use neuts during flowering, so far none used,composted manure only.
All the best.

[Blazed227]

Looks great!! I've only had to water mine 3 times, that's how wet it is, the humidity is super high all the time.. I should have gotten mold resistant but wasn't thinking about it when I ordered seeds , hopefully the rest will be ok from here on out

[oldjarhead100]

I dont think mold resistant would work in these conditions lol, I was out yesterday and almost all of my girls are in bloom ,I went with fast buds so they would be done in Sept instead of Oct.hopefully that helps with bud rot

[Blazed227]

Well it couldn't hurt that's for sure lol, I already had bud rot on 2 that started flowering early so I don't think that would make much of a difference, it just needs to stop raining every
Other day an might be ok , I haven't been out to see them in about a week but they were all Poppin alot of pistils, then so pretty sure there starting to bloom by now also

[Blazed227]

Here's pics of the girls!! Got some buds forming!! The white widows are the biggest out the gate, man this rain needs to stop... Getting hammered every night...

[oldjarhead100]

looking fantastic

[Retodd]

Nice thing about your pix Blazed227 is I can see how and when you did the LST. They look great!
