Time to show your grow.

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL Puglover1 i'm up at 0430 and my P2500 never got above 87f all closed up in my tent. I only have flaps & portholes for cross vent., i will use a fan outside to move the inside air with the tent door flap open. I don't have heat issue nor much humidity except during early spring mornings when we have rain an i can control that fine. I just don't think i need alot of gadgets to control my tent indoors but that outdoor porch tent exposed to outdoor air temps well she gets the sweats on the walls if i run it but it's workable for me to handle. So far that P2500 is great runs cooler in my larger tent.

Looks great I think I might try this strain from what I see there.

[homegrown]

HERE THET COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!! Looking over the plants this morning..the killers

[homegrown]

MeEasy, i agree, if were talking regular vegetation bugs..top of the food chain. But..they dont care what they eat, good bugs or bad..its all supper. I hope these guys or girls can deal with earwigs...might be a bit too big but i wouldnt put it past them...

[oldjarhead100]

a praying mantis can take down a humming bird bugs are no problem, I have lady bugs in my green house from last year

[Puglover1]

homegrown Um, thanks. I'm a girl who will catch a mouse but hates bugs & snakes. When I was 5 yrs old my aunt took me to a friend's house, they were outdoors everywhere. My bug-hating order: Walking Sticks (praying mantis); Locusts; Cicadas. I got the shivers typing that, lol. Good luck though!

[oldjarhead100]

these are my 2 sherbet cookies I started spreading out my girls and was going to do a before and after but only got 4 other plants opened up and supported , I did top all 12 plants so lots of new bud sites .

We haven't been out to see the woods girls due to it raining everyday so far this month today is the first dry day and its supposed to rain for the next 3 days ,so we are going out to top what we can

[SoOrbudgal]

Hi oldjarhead100 as you know out west here PNW hot an dry. I don't do but 1 topping on my photos that i grow from seed and no toppings on the clones because the clones have so many branches already as they grow older it's more of a thinning out of those whispy under producing stems more for me to do.

Do you think your going to have enough time for flowering if you top now? Seems like the summer sun is not in the East coast favor for this season so far. Mine are showing pre flower bud sites stacking now. I don't want to slow down what could be enough time for them to finish before fall rains and mold threatins them. Would'nt topping now slow them down? Sorry i'm just curious with how different parts of USA do there outdoor MJ grows with so different of enviornments. TY

[oldjarhead100]

this was there last topping usually Aug first is when the start the bloom faze .I like to give them at least 2 weeks to recover from the topping ,My girls are under the green house roof so they haven't been bothered by all the rain and they are still growing vigorously , I'm now working on spreading them out so more air flow/Sun can get in
what I have found with topping is that if the new growth nodes are between a 1/4 and 1/2 inch long it does not slow the plant down at all if you top a branch with less than a 1/4 inch it can set it back as much as 3 weeks .

Its rained everyday this month sun comes out for a few hours then it rains ,sun comes out it rains been a tiring circle lol, its supposed to rain all day today ,wifes gone to her sisters till Thursday so I guess its a house cleaning day , I'm going to smoke a big fatty Stativa crank the stereo ,put the birds in the bedroom (Hootie freaks out when you pick up a broom/vacuum) less stress on all if I just close her in the bed room

[SoOrbudgal]

Good Sunday morning from Me having very windy conditions along with the hot dry summer, not a good combo but i guess it could be worse. We've got no smoke from the fire coming our way winds blowing opposite direction for now. So i tossed a pic in of the wind blown gals, a preflower on pre 98 bubba kush next to her is the peanut butter breath those are my 2 tallest going at approx. 48" a group shot smallest is the 3 run homer 36" then the GG#4 maybe 43". Those are only 10-15gal plastic pots so i don't expect them to get much taller maybe 6ft not sure this wind is stressing them.

That's my grand kitty Ava we're babysitting LOL an just a bit of " food for thought " chippino at a little place we love. Lots of helicopters going to ponds an rivers filling there buckets dropping on the fire up river in the canyon, only 10% contained last we heard. Good luck to all outdoor growers.

[oldjarhead100]

Never heard of Cippino before but it looks fantastic ,those are some wind blown girls lol lets hope they dont stay that way when the wind stops

[Flatlander]

Hey pug lover, I also live on the illinois River. Grafton illinois. Small world.

[Puglover1]

Flatlander When I saw your username I thought of IL, the flattest state. Neighbors who also belonged to our private boat club used to take their cabin cruiser all the way down to NOLA. Lot of barge traffic by you? Are there locks and dams down there? We usually didn't go past Peoria on the river bc of those, sometimes the waits were hours when we went up river. I'd like to say I miss boating (I miss the old days) but it's so busy and people are a-holes. Our township built a nice launching ramp so we get way more people here on the riv than when I was young. They have an annual Walleye tournament, national circuit. The next tiny town west has boat races every summer, part of a nat'l circuit. Your town is 50 years older than mine, this was a coal mining town founded in 1886. My great grandfather, a Civil War vet, was a founding father, signed the incorporation papers. Do you go to dispensaries?

Happy Sunday 😊
7 week Zkittles Auto
No yellow leaves! (A first for me) I added some Blackstrap Molasses this week after reading about it in last week’s newsletter...or one of the links the articles lead me to. I am really enjoying seeing everyone ‘s pictures!

[Puglover1]

Nice buds. I would've thought that was a photo grow. My auto experience is "limited". Happy Sunday and happy growing!

[oldjarhead100]

I'm with ya Puglover I cant get an auto to produce more the an ounce it seems like

[Puglover1]

oldjarhead100 Have you seen my 3 month old "model cars" (miniature autos) lately? NL: 4" high; Lemon: 5+ inches. The NL hardly has any pistils, it's the weirdest plant. I think its time is limited, regardless of its trichs. I don't know if it will yield a 1/4 oz when dried. Maybe an 1/8th.

[VBBassBlue]

My girls today... first amber pistils on Bella, and Beatrix isnt far behind... Marjorie is growing well!!

[VBBassBlue]

Thanks, oldjarhead100 ... will do... I'm curious as well. That pot was experimental.. I wanted to use the long sides to tie down to, and then, being the first grow, didn't realize that the nodes grow at 90 degree angles. Lots of lessons learned so far!! Marjorie's about 24" tall, so my guess is that the root ball has filled the pot, but we'll find out for sure in another month or two...

[Puglover1]

I too am curious about that long narrow 'window box' pot. I used those to grow strawberries for a few years. Your plants look great!

[VBBassBlue]

Puglover1 Thanks!

[oldjarhead100]

I took the opportunity of a day with out rain to go out and look at the woods grow ,glad I did these balls were right in the middle of the grow so they would of pollinated it all, the strain was called the black it came from 420newguy seeds and was supposed to be feminized ,Ill have to send Paul a Picture lol then I spent a few hours in the green house spreading out the girls and I got to my LSD auto and saw some bud rot ,it wasn't their Saturday so I chopped her down she weighed in at 175 grams wet ,so she should give me 1.5 ounces dry and about 1/4 ounce of duff I looked at a RH meter in the cellar it read 90 so I may have to move the buds upstairs to let her dry in a lower humidity, that should be interesting with Buddy the bird loving to eat buds

[SoOrbudgal]

Well not a minute to soon it looks like OJ sorry about those male parts. I've had that with his seeds but he's good with replacing them but a shame to waste time. Unstable? maybe. Thanks for replying about the topping and doing it this late for outdoor. Mine would fry in the greenhouse without air conditioning. Even with fans it would be hard to cool, i would need a bigger area. Only autos i got really good yields from were FBLs sure wish he'd make an apperance, had me really wondering?? I keep going with them for the love of just growing plants. oldjarhead100 chippino is a fish stew/soup Italian i like it more soupy than thick like stew. We eat soups year round

[MeEasy]

Hell I didn't know if I should hit the like button or not, I don't like fem seeds that turn out to make balls and definitely don't like bud rot, but I like to see a cola that weighs over 6 ounces 🥳 ...... I've seen alot of really nice pics posted by you so I'm sure there's some good news around there too 😀 we have to put up with some bad shit so we can get the good shit in the end. Keep an eye on the bird 🐦 👁 and grow on my good neighbor

[Rwise]

I cut down a male yesterday as well, I hate it but I have enuf seed this year.

[Poppa]

Beginning of last week I topped the 4 plants I started for my fall harvest. By middle of the week they were ready to be separated into their respective totes with the new lid/scrog frame setups I made. First pic is self explanatory 2nd, 3rd & 4th are of the 2 White Widows in the 2nd pic you can see where that stem decided to split into two one major and one minor. The 5th & 6th pics are of the 2 White Rhinos. Last pic is of the 4 Somango XXL clones I took from my spring grow they are getting close looking like late this week or start of next week they will be ready to start their flush for harvest

[BU2B]

Flowering week 2 day 2


9 more weeks to go. she's dead. I killed her. Oops.

[BU2B]

Thanks for the kind words Puglover1 I’m just the caretaker, the girls always do all the hard work 😉

[oldjarhead100]

looking fantastic cant wait to see start to bloom

[BU2B]

DarkStar Extreme is pretty slow to finish. My last grow for the DSX took a full 11 weeks. I'm expecting at least that for 'Emerelda' Phat Phlowers coming up <fingers crossed>

[homegrown]

Next plant up for harvest..Super Lemon Skunk Auto flower. Pretty close, within two weeks im sure. This is by far the largest Auto iv ever grown.. She's had the luxury of sunlight during the day and two old viperspectra 600s at night.

[SoOrbudgal]

Nothin wrong with those old vipars, i'm still using my 450r in a outdoor growtent. They still do the job. But i love my vipar P2500 . Best autos an biggest were from FBL he bred some lemon skunks X's that were great big gals. I sure miss him around here.

[Puglover1]

Glad to see your lemon got the giant genes. Big girl!

[CaptainWiese91]

Looks amazing!

[oldjarhead100]

I CANT BELIVE i HAVE TO WEED MY WEED LOL

[Rwise]

Is that lambs quarter? I pull lots of weeds out of the weed patch, but I use wild home made soil.

[Puglover1]

I used to have to weed the container catnip.

[oldjarhead100]

first pic purple punch 2nd and 3rd Glue Cookies and the 4th is a clone of Sour Patch Kiss I should have them all done today just the ZDF and a grand daddy purple left

[SoOrbudgal]

Those are looking great oldjarhead100 big canopy. Man i love that purple punch strain

[Eliot Pryor]

You're going to love Purple Punch . Every little flower will grow into a solid bud of goodness.

[Coubob]

I only ended upwith one and. Half ozs budand half ozof trim this ti.e

[BU2B]

Ahhhh... there's the key "One and One Half ozs of bud and half oz of trim THIS TIME' When I first started growing there was no GWE, to be honest I didn't even know the difference between male and female plants, I was LUCKY if I got an oz and flowers woa! BIG BONUS! LOL. Any grow is a good grow, any grow with an ounce and a half of buds and a half oz of trim is still over an oz you DIDNT have to buy and a LOT better than nothing. The time would have passed anyway; at least you got over an oz of cannabis out the deal! Good For You!!!

[Coubob]

It was my gorilla breath clones, they were only in veg for 7 weeks, i reused my soil from my last grow and had both plants in a 7 gallon planter. i think them things is what gave me a low yield. but yea its my 2nd try at this, my first time i only had a half oz of bud, so i did make some improvement from last time. Question? when the buds were on the plant they were real hard, when finished drying they were soft, was this something i did wrong, i thought i would have hard dry buds this time.

[oldjarhead100]

buds will soften when picked but the hardness should come back during the cure

I'm curious as to why you think reusing your soil in 7 gallon pots produced a low yield, I just reread your post I agree putting 2 plants in a 7 gallon pot was your problem I use 7 gallon pots for the woods girls and routinely get 4 to 6 ounces per plant ,if your going to reuse soil amend it a little

I remember my first grow inside my yields were horrible I just didn't know it at the time lol but with each grow I learned .when I started following the tutorials on this web site my yields increased dramatically

[Floopydoop]

Bah! Was going to take pics but it all ended up in the freezer for brownies. Not enough to trim.

On advice from a buncha peeps here, and the seedbank where I got the seeds.....took off the 2 main colas on ATF (too early flower).

They were too full of budsites to trim, David at Holimoli told me to take em off completely and the rest of the plant will be fine.

My poor tops.

All cold and alone in the freezer. Sticky as hell, probably make a good batch of coconut oil eventually.
