Outdoor Grow 2021

[soonboomer]

Heat indexes well over 100 for the past week, so the girls have been in the shade quite a bit. Dropping temps starting tomorrow, but extremely high wind gust expected. It's always something. On the bright side, all plants heading in the right direction.

Yep so far so good soonboomer that dry wind really does a number on them that's what mine have been through. I've placed some bamboo for support so they don't get whipped to harshly and break some branches.

Those are some beautiful girls... pretty work

This year is the first year in a while I have not yet had wind blow a plant or 2 over. Only 3 or 4 more weeks of this hot ass weather and then we can cool off.

 

[soonboomer]

Temperature dropped from high 90's to high 70's a couple hours ago. Wind gusts in excess of 50 mph. but overall just a nice rain.No casualties.

The Fastberry is about done. This GSC still has a couple weeks yet. With the storm drenching the east coast the next few days I brought them up on the deck out of the weather. Went ahead and thinned them out a little

How far north are you?

 

[Rwise]

I wish I had some of that rain, they keep promising but no show.

 

[bboyfromwayback]

TN NC border. It’s cleared up and moved north of us

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Man those look great

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Thanks! I’m digging the autos outdoors

All these years growing inside I’ve never experienced bud rot, well I can’t say that anymore 😢 one of the GSC’s lost a few colas, believe I got it all. She’s on the deck with a fan now.

On a positive the Banana Kush is already getting frosty. I had a couple pieces of plywood laying around so I nailed some boards up between a couple trees at the edge of the woods and made a 8x8 cover I can wheel her under at night or when it rains. Bud rot prevention

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Took a few pics before rolling her out into the sun. The cover works nicely, she’s not covered in dew in the mornings. Hopefully it keeps her dry during most rains. She’s just so big around and I didn’t want to do anything major or that cost money so I just used scrap wood I had laying around. If I decide to grow another photo outside next year I’ll build something nice. I cleared out a spot in my shed but it wasn’t big enough once I got her in there plus she’s too damn heavy to be lifting daily. You can’t really get in a safe posture to pick her up so in the health of my back she’s staying on the cart

These are the 3 outdoor girls I'm running this summer. Two were seeds brought back from Colorado, so I don't have much background on them, but they both began flowering a couple of weeks ago.
The third is my old mother Primal Punch that I pheno hunted last year.
Although it's blazing hot and humid, the simple hoop house I built has made a huge difference.
I did add a fan to promote air movement, especially at night when dew forms.
We'll see in a couple of months...

Hey i have to use a cart also, no shame in that we got to protect what body we got left to continue do what we do. My little greenhouse is a off brand bought online maybe $129 12L x 8W x 8tall i think? I can only fit 2 comfortable in there I bend them an stake them if i need to. But i don't like to crowd them when it get's cold an rainy for obvious reasons,don't want issues and there are a ton of spiders in there right now. I'd need to spray it down with hose then spray for spiders. I'm doing that today but in a month when i may need it ....i'll have to do it again. She is a beauty of a plant bboyfromwayback.

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Nice! Does the job and easy to take down once the grow is over. That’s perfect

 

[bboyfromwayback]

That’s not a bad price and perfect size really. A bigger space would entice me to grow more plants and these girls outside are a lot of work. Two photos would be plenty for me to handle

 

[bboyfromwayback]

What i threw together 😂 it’s effective, really thick foliage above as well so that helps. I used what was available in my shed without walking back to the house. Wish I’d grabbed a tape measure. The plant looked taller eyeballing it. I may lower it a couple feet but for now it’ll do

 

[Puglover1]

Maybe throw a bedsheet over the roof and let the sides hang down where you need them?

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Took some pics of her in the sun. It’s been upper 90’s to low 100’s here the last week and ridiculously humid. Been rolling her out for the morning sun then into the shade from 1-4ish then back out until sundown. Picked a bunch of leaves with WPM off so I’ll be treating her again.
