2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[90Gizmo]

Three days and the plants have made a rather alarming stretched but maybe that's normal for this strain? Taller and less dense, I guess the sun can get in there better. Four days of rain in the forecast. I hope it puts of those fires because the smoke is still pretty bad. I'm running two fans 24h/day. I can't change the humidity but maybe I can get some evaporation. I have a weatherproof higher CFM fan on the way via wagon train it seems. Won't get her until next Wednesday. Thanks for the watering and water storage tips SoOrbudgal. That's my next priority. The smell is very strong and much different than anything else I've grown. No diesel that I can detect just a warm musty aroma. No strawberry to it yet. I've pulled the plants a little bit out from the wall to give them more room. I hope hope hope that I'll need to move them to the center of the space before they're done.

One of my photos is in full flower, it really should be just showing preflowers, same as last year, I can accept an early and staggered harvest.

Dig it homegrown awesome walkway to the yard. I'm collecting scrapes of flag stone to do what you've done so far. I'm in direct sunlight very very dry here now in my backyard. It's big lawn which i don't water just my newly planted trees an shrubs i drag a hose around for now. Exercise comes in many forms LOL. I'm planting white alders, birch and maples along my back fences. Lots of flowering bushes and grasses. I'm not concerned about lawns for now downsizing that is where i'm at.

Well i don't have budlets like your friend in Florida my freak is just enjoying the sunshine an heat. Just my autos have budlets. Yes my photos look to be preparing for it but no real stretch yet.

90Gizmo I break from Phed water honestly i don't test it. When i lived with well water only I tested for drinking several times in 30yr period never had a issue. Lots of calcium & minerals no icky. This is my 2nd year in my new place using city water yes i smell cholorine at times but i use it straight from the hose to water my pots in morning an evening . I've got 12 1/2 gal containers filled sitting out i use for nutes. I've got 2 1/2gal containers filled sitting inside my tent indoors always ready. I got this in my head that if it's running threw my soil mix by the time the roots abosorb anything it's pretty flushed. But i add to the soil with occasional top dressings of worm compost and teas. I don't really flush when i give water just allow alittle run out from the bottom drains.

I know that feeling all too well.

The misfits.... Wound up having a few extra plants this year. Had two choices, trash um. OR move them all over the backyard everyday to catch the sun rays(done it before,its a terrible idea) I went with the terrible idea lol. Slow learner. Even Hildeguard thinks im nuts. We have a White Widow clone, and a Sour diesel and a Gusher from seed. Grown in soil/compost and fed with pond water and fresh fish poop! Let the good times roll...

Got home today from 4 days at our camp in the adks. Not good. Lost two of three autos to bud rot. The galaxy was awful. The Runtz was about half gone. Had all the autos under the prow on the front of the house to keep them dry but that means less breeze. They got wet a few weeks ago and I guess it was too much. 90% humidity for two weeks with rain every day sucks. Calling for at least two more weeks of this. Can't tell just yet if the sunset has it because the buds are black to start with. Way too early for this. Prob about 12oz between the two lost. Raining as I write this. Like SoOrbudgal says, this outdoor ain't for sissies.

90Gizmo said, "That is a very nice looking hedge!"

Agreed! If you hedge needs a trim SoOrbudgal give me a yell 👍

[90Gizmo]

That is a very nice looking hedge! It's been much cooler today. I took my temperature this morning because I thought I was having chills but it was just that cold. At was foggy this morning... with smoke. At least it wasn't green because I saw that kind of air in LA back when and it was scary to breath it. I feel bad for forest fires. Thought that was a west coast thing too. SoOrbudgal when you water twice a day is that just pHed water? Inside I used to water and feed every two days. Outside I've been using just pHed water on the off days. Pretty much my newbie bag only has two tricks, I look at the leaf color and look if the leaves are sagging. No water needed today. Pics pics tomorrow.

Crazy how some photos are flowering already. They shouldn't be. My friend sent me this from Florida. One of the bastards is flowering.

[SoOrbudgal]

Well were gonna get those 100+ temps soon we always do. I'm watering 2x day outside just to keep them from stressing. I put a couple cups of worm casings over top soil in each pot. Yes the autos would be bigger by now if i'd started inside tent with them.

[Rwise]

I am a bit jealous over that 90*, 102* here today, and for the next few days 100*+. I think the autos I just pulled would have done better with an indoor start, it was just to cold for them when they sprouted.

[SoOrbudgal]

Howdy outdoor grow buds everything is going well with the garden thanks to the fine weather we're having here in So.Oregon. Temps are creeping up today will be 90f and will stay about that for awhile. First pic is the Freak show she's gaining height not showing any preflower but she's healthy 2nd pic are the 4 autos and in the wagon. All autos in early flower I did'nt top them they've had it kinda rough being outside from the beginning so i really don't see at this time anything positive about placing them outdoors so early without getting them big indoors for a month under lights then tossing them into the sunlight. Anyway it is what it is I won't start them like this again. 3rd pic are the photos nice managable Indica strains short and hopefully heavy later in the season.

Nows the time prior to flower that i'd take clones as I start cleaning and clearing lower and mid sections but i'm not going to I've thought about it and i just want to use up seeds I've got for future grows. My green beans are flowering well, tomatoes are setting fruit all is good Have a wondeful day ya'll sorry for the shitty smoke from Canada going through the East ward states. Oregon has seen plenty the last few years.
