Time to show your grow.

Elite Zkittlez Auto, Canuck seeds, 10 weeks yesterday.
Getting close! Hubby and I have typically harvested to early so are really trying to get it right this time

[SoOrbudgal]

If this is anything like the photo period strain sister it's one of my top 5 favs. great job on being patient it's well worth it. Beautiful cola oconnorjoy

[oldjarhead100]

they are looking very close do you use a loop to check trichomes

[SoOrbudgal]

Good Morning from Oregon well it's getting nearly bloom time my plants are slowly changing into flower mode. I've fed 3x now higher potasium bloom formula with top dressings of bone meal scratched into top of soil. I did a heavy defoiliation on all and removed lower skinny budsites, middle sections and many blocking fans.

Some may not do this but i think i need to because my pots are not very large only 10gal and plastic they are the easiest for me to move by myself but they limit the roots and create a packed root system which needs daily attention from me to keep them cool. Pic #1 is a pre 98 bubba kush getting close to 6ft now. 2nd pic group shot 3run homer, peanut butter breath, GG#4. GG an homer are smallish photos i'm not to concerned with going the distance with these in the 10gal. but the peanut butter breath has pulled itself up #4 pic. I tried topping off the pot more with just garden soil but it's running off with watering. I really don't want to transplant into larger deeper container as it's to big for me to have to move by myself so i'm crossing my fingers she can go without too much harm. Lots of my larger annual flowering plants i've had them do the same with their roots and survived well so anyone have a comment on this issue please share with me. Transplant is not a option. That 3rd pic is what the plant should look like in the pot and did before gusty winds for weeks. And last but never the least is my buddy Sonny he's got a treat hanging from his mouth Take care, stay cool Peace to all.

Free treats are the best treats

[MeEasy]

Beautiful plants Ms budgal expected nothing less than beautiful from you. I agree that the dog looks guilty of something 😬 lol

[oldjarhead100]

you nailed it bud gal I was going to say dig a hole about 4 inch deeper than the top of the pot drop her in and cover with your favorite growing medium its not going to wash away then and for next year put a garden cart on your xmas list and just move the cart

[bboyfromwayback]

Banana Kush

[SoOrbudgal]

That's as far as mine look with the pre flower what a bushy full plant. I wacked mine one last time my gosh the clones i could of made, but i got enough for now.

[oldjarhead100]

looking good I was out yesterday and my girls are starting as well . exciting times all that hard work is about to pay off

[bboyfromwayback]

Yea man! I’m giddy😁 inside plants come and go but these girls outside make you earn it

[soonboomer]

Overcast and in the low 80's today. Nice break from the heat dome. Plants doing well so far. Tallest is just over 42 inches, all with pre flower similar to the 2nd picture. Good growing to all!

[oldjarhead100]

I was out checking out the girls and forgot to take pictures its getting tight in the green house but I did take a couple of pictures of our Hibiscus

[Bowhunterwoody]

Beautiful. Ours have just started to open.

[SoOrbudgal]

How beautiful OJ i just love hibiscus yours must be the hardy varity

[BU2B]

holy cr@p those are some huge flowers!

[User420111]

I did take a couple of pictures of our Hibiscus

What part of the country do you live in? I have an awesome potted hibiscus but I bring it in every winter because I was told it can't survive the cold weather. But I'd like to give it a long term outdoor spot

[Bowhunterwoody]

Certain varieties are cold hardy. Most aren't. If you're not sure I wouldn't let it freeze.

[oldjarhead100]

Mass and I'll ask the wife what strain it is

[oldjarhead100]

she said some hibiscus are perianal and some are annual this is a perianal

[BU2B]

okay so this isn't really in my tent Rwise but I have to admit I think of this every time I see a WTB post

[bboyfromwayback]

The actual commercial is funny too

[PLreef]

Haha, love it

[Rwise]

LOL, yes that was the inspiration for the name, I see he is selling my WTBs here LOL!
To whoever did the image, you missed the sign!

[FurnaceBoi]

Well you always know my plans can change lol. I dropped 2 of OG Kush and 1 revolver freebie from crop king. First baby in the greenhouse this evening.

Planning on a mid october greenhouse harvest. Can't ask for more in Northern Ontario. Autos btw

[SoOrbudgal]

Brave man to do that this time of year. Is it heated FurnaceBoi?

[oldjarhead100]

what lights are you supplementing with

SoOrbudgal no. But the greenhouse stays much warmer than ambient. We can also pull them in if needed.

All organic. Its an outside experiment. I want to see how far I can push the limit in my climate.

The greenhouse will extend my season. The equinox here is the end of September.

We also have backup lights in th GH for low light days. Quantum boards.

And honestly, I get those beautiful fall colours on these October runs.

Also chose OG kush because it's an Afghani mountain strain. Similar climate here

Ya I grew my Cheese well into October last year and they matured beautifully

[oldjarhead100]

I've harvested in November before what a battle keeping it above freezing

[SoOrbudgal]

Well just wanted to know i got 2 shorter indica at 4ft and 2 taller at hitting 6ft. which i'll have to super crop to fit into my greenhouse if needed. No heat no lights just old school yes stays warmer i open window vents and floor flaps.

[Puglover1]

I don't know this weed's strain. A climber, the flowers are open and white in the morning, closed and pink in the evening. Crazy pug eats anything, except bugs and mj. He must have eaten some string because after three attempts he had to run around the yard to get his poop to disengage. It's a Cuckoo's Nest here.

[Puglover1]

Rwise This is storm sewer water, not waste, different lines. Been going on for a while. I watched the City's Street Dept. crew plow my dead-end/cul-de-sac street for 25 years, then most of them retired. New crew, 10 years of doing it wrong resulted in a messed up circle, blacktop crumbling, my yard creeping down into the ravine and it's killing my sole surviving tree after a 2010 derecho, a blue spruce. I didn't plant the tree in a sink hole. I begged to tell them how to plow it right but ... I'm a girl? Now I have an undiagnosed injury from shoveling 6 feet of the street to get out of my driveway during a really bad winter, 2013/14. Been to two hand specialists, last summer a University of Chicago dr couldn't diagnose it. This is why I do things unconventionally or have to wait for help while growing. I don't know what to do. Insurance puts it on the city, city drags their feet, and lawyers want $300-400 to walk in their door.

[SoOrbudgal]

Our dog did that before ate string from a roast LOL thought it was a worm coming out OMG

[Rwise]

I bet my road is worse than yours, county dropped maintenance about 25 years ago, they did come look at it about 2 years ago.
Here law dogs beg for work, free unless we win. Good luck!
At least its not gray water!

[Floopydoop]

Happy 4 month birthday to the ladies.....
BB


ATF (taco leaves it's been HOT as we all know)

Accidentally took a Farmbuck styled photo. Hope there's no fees on that. :P

[BU2B]

ah, no text - I think you're safe on fee's Beautiful girls BTW

[Floopydoop]

BU2B thank you! All due to the information stockpiled here and some friendly folk. Main issue or "problem" I'm having is these things are so damn sticky they are collecting yard debris. Spent about a half hour inside the Bruce Banner today removing dead leaves stuck to buds....cardboard hulls stuck to stems from 4th of July....guess I could have worse problems. No bugs this year but the few ladybugs seen, guessing that Silica Blast did help a bit. Still no sign of my mantises, they're probably in the neighbor's yard.

[SoOrbudgal]

Man that looks great sure wish my buds would start love to harvest by end of sept. gotta be so patient unless i put them in a 12/12 dark spot. I don't have any bugs this year either.....yet

[homegrown]

Damn..another two day in trim jail. 2 of my tent photos were ready for harvest, both of them had huge colas, some deformed from supercropping others just big fatties..lol Trimmed the popcorn during early flower so i didnt have much trim to deal with. Durban Poison- outstanding size buds!! Do-Si-Do also produced really well..not quite as plump though. One more tent lady to go..i dont think shes that far out..buds are small though. wait and see. happy growing!

[SoOrbudgal]

Man that looks great homegrown what a lovely area you have. Sure are big fat colas lucky you.

[homegrown]

oldjarhead100, im not envious of you having to harvest that greenhouse hahaha. I really dont mind trimming..just need to take a break every now and again so you dont cramp up.lol And my outdoor girls are nothing like your woods girls. They are spoiled rotten... If its raining..they come inside the garage under lights...if its cloudy, garage,under lights. Not enough sun..i move them around..actually..they get treated better than my tent plants. WTF

[homegrown]

Thank you SoOrbudgal, stuck in the city so im limited. Im in awe of your yard and settings. And as far as the big buds...Its gotta be the lights. I havent changed anything else in my last two grows except for the lights. Still haven't corrected the foxtailing yet. Too darn bright...back to 75%.

[MagicMike66]

Before and after defol ready for flipping

[Floopydoop]

I'm way too scared to try anything like that yet, but these kinds of manipulation do make my brain tingle.

[oldjarhead100]

Jump right in floopydoop its easy and fun,and the best part is it really increases your yield

[MagicMike66]

You should give it a go. As OJ says it’s fun and easy to do

[oldjarhead100]

Its a jungle out there no chance for individual plant pictures . I have 4x4s,5x5s and 2 6 footers and its the first week of bloom ya baby, its looking fantastic

[MeEasy]

You might need a bigger greenhouse lol lookin good 👍

[BU2B]

Very Nice - they obviously like the greenhouse

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL oldjarhead100 now look what you done did LOL. Can you get some help to lift up the 4 posts and prop some blocks under them elevate it? I got 2 tall ones i'd have to super crop if they had to go into mine. I just want to start seeing budlets i'm bored with the pre flower LOL

[GreenState]

oldjarhead100 Always love seeing pics of your greenhouse....it's a jungle (lol)

the yin to your yang...the lonely girl (g)..if I had a dozen of these planted in a hedgerow and no one would be the wiser (ha).
Forcing early flower in Vermont.

[oldjarhead100]

they would look great and your right unless they were told no one would be the wiser

[SoOrbudgal]

How come you got budlets already dang it mine don't show nothing but pre flower did you do 12/12 put it in the dark place for a while and bring it out GreenState.

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal Yes, moving it to a dark place to force flower. Putting it outside at 6:30am and back inside in a dark room at 7:00pm.
I imagine in a week or so I could just leave it outside without fear of reveging, but I've kept it a portable size so it isn't to difficult to move it.
Now remembering to move it is another story (lol!). This coming Sunday will mark 3 weeks since I began this experiment. Stretch is about over, nodes are tight and buds are stacking nicely.
