2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

I am interested in sunflowers. Have had some grow from bird seed but when I look for seeds there are so many choices I don't know what to pick. Maybe I should nick some off the corners of the farmer's grow. (I think the Bible says that's okay.) Also am so very jealous of your wagon. If I had that I might put mine out in the morning and back in at night. I appreciated your thoughts on how big a container you can move and is the main reason I went with 10 gallon pots. Sure, I can move larger/heavier but it hurts. Your grow look great. Nothing but my basil is ready to use.
 
When I plant sunflowers they do the same as yours, multiple heads instead of one big ass head, the birds still enjoyed them! Getting more tomatoes than I can use beans almost done from the heat, and the melons are about to ripen.
 
Next veggie garden i'll have more crops. I'm still filling 2 beds with scraps of soil and compost. I miss watermellon & cantalope but i got a volunteer pumpkin LOL. I knew i was gonna have too much to care for already so i'm still getting used to being on my own, gotta pace myself and not push it. I won't have so many outdoor MJ next summer but i had to get rid of old seeds still got some old photo seeds. Won't buy again ever. uh huh keep tellin myself that hmmm
 
Looks like our area is moving toward extreme heat so watering 2x day early morning an after sun gets off the garden.
 
It's speeding up. The tall one had grown 6" in three days. Now 55" tall. I hung a net because I'm going to have to train it across the top if it keeps going. The other two probably have as many nodes just tighter spacing. The tall one had been the tall one ever since it was a seedling.

Bluey Yes they are 2x's work with these size grow containers, watering 2x day since it's now over 90f. The people who i bought my house from grew in 50gal bags and left 2 here. I did'nt use them just took the soil from them for my veggie garden and gave sacks away. Much easier in the ground by far but i'm getting by with these for years now just gotta water more often.
 
Holey moley must be that greenhouse they love it. I had a Jack Herer once that even hit the top of the greenhouse after i gave it a knuckle the center cola looked like a giant banana got mold in parts though. Mine are maybe 6ft probley go 7ft hopefully no taller but i'm gonna supercrop once in flower if i have late ripening plants a few are real shorties which i prefer.
 
@SoObudgal - well, I told you I wanted trees but your 15 gal pots were too big for me... I thought I'd get a little bit smaller with these 10 gallon bags. I'm definitely not complaining! I read the SC likes hot-tropical weather and that's what we've had so far. I hope the humidity goes down when the buds form. Notes say they (only) grow 6.5 to 7 feet outside I'm hopeful the netting keeps it in place. The basil seems to be suffering a bit inside but the other companion plants are loving it too.

I don't think I can keep it the cover on over the winter until climate change gets much worse. For now we're still seeing a couple of couple-of-feet snowfalls over the winters. Needs to come down Halloween and maybe back up late April or early May. Climate here not as good as yours.
 
Sadly pond bastard did not make it. Was too far gone once I found her dug up. House bastards are doing great and in flower. Sprayed the small one with sts. Gonna make some baby bastard.....um ladies.

These are auto feminized plants. It's my 3rd grow and an experiment for me. I'm growing outdoors in a pretty humid area, and was wondering if the faster development of autos would minimize the opportunity for mold to set in.

The plant on the left is a 420 Fast Buds Banana Purple Punch. I'm a sap for marketing hype & fat bud photos and between all that and that the seeds were described as “start to finish in 56 days”, I was sold. This plant has no whiff of bananas or purple - all I get is a strong pine tar. This is day 70 now - two weeks past the rated day and probably another month to go.

The other two plants are Barney's Farm Dos Si Dos autos - rated at 70-75 days. I started these later - they're at day 42 and just starting to flower.

All are growing in 7-gallon fabric pots in FF Ocean Forest soil - except for one of the DSD. I ran out of the Fox Farms and used Miracle Grow potting soil cut in half with equal parts pearlite and vermiculite.
I tortured them all with my first stab at LST. It probably helped the eventual yield....

Nutes are simple – Fox Farms Trio + their cal mag. And I had slapped some mycorrhizal soil additive on when I transferred to the fabric pots - because why not – there didn’t seem to be a downside to trying.

I have used fans outside, shaking it I mean them after a rain to help keep the buds dry or dry faster, and cut away WPM. So far good this year, fingers crossed.
 
Silica can help a lot with WPM. It rarely shows itself when supplementing with that, just about eradicates it.
