Outdoor Update 6/25/2017

Hey all, just some pics of my outdoor grown. One of the girls is taller and has popcorn buds. Seeds started 6march2017 and are currently flowering and budding. Probably won't harvest for another 6-8 weeks.... it almost feels like they started flowering pre maturely though, but I'm not sure. Right now, I think my girls are going through another flowering stretch. It almost seems like they're re-vegging but I can see the budlets all up and down the colas. All insight is welcome

hey rooster wow good looking girls there you didn't say if they were autos but from the time line I would say yes they are autos .I'm doing my first auto grow right now outside . mine have been in ground since may 18th and 5 of 5 showed pistals last week. how are you feeding them I used to much sonic bloom once and caused the plants to foxtail ,but that doesn't look like its happening here . the only thing I do different is I plant mine in ground it makes them harder to see first pic is of veggie garden with 4 thc bomb plants in it and the other is of a gorilla grow plant .If I could grow anymore in back yard I would but inorder to comply with the law they need to be fenced in and out of sight of public . as you can see I can't get them out of sight of public lol so hence the gorilla grow

I think you planted too early. I made same mistake couple years ago. When plants start to grow outdoors before light reaches 12/12 the plants get confused and go to flower early then reveg.
 
Hey,
Like Desertdan said, you might have planted too early. Check the amount of sunlight you get where you are next time ;)
I planted 29 march, north of the equator, mine just started showing pre-flowers.
Could be an autoflower, like Oldjarhead mentionned.

Also, I can't help but notice the size... If you can, next time, plant in amended soil directly, no pot. I've had results beyond expectations (supposed to be 1M tall? Its 1M80 right now... I'll have to remove the greenhouse eventually.) It's my 2 cents, and it's only my first grow, maybe something else made them grow so big, I'm not sure. (Having a nice summer here)
 
these are supposed to be photo period seeds, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they may be autos. I use kind soil for my medium, so that alleviates me having to put in any extra type of nutes. I tell you what, I think I'm going to invest in a small indoor grow tent. These worms and caterpillars have been giving me a run for my money. I've used neem oil and spinosaid to try and combat against these pests, but they keep coming on back.
 
dang, you think so? I really tried to time this grow just right. I started them indoors for the first couple of weeks and then I went ahead and put them outside towards the end of march / early april. I was trying to take daylight savings into account and I knew the spring equinox would be around the middle of march..... DAMNIT, lol. I really hope they dont start herming out on me. Unfortunately for my back yard, there is no one spot that gets more than 10 hrs of sunlight.
 
Of course!!! With great pleasure I share it :)
I didn't do much but amend the soil, prepare the greenhouse. (Do you know what amendment means? I'm not taking you for a fool, i'm just asking :) )
Then let the sun do its work... Beginning was slow, and when middle of spring, beginning summer came, it just BOOMED like... Idk. See the special Kush, its a photoperiod plant, it just started its flowering stretch and its the same height than the Royal Bluematic (autoflower supposed to be 1M height outdoor, according to seed bank, royal queen seeds). I'm pretty sure i'll have to remove the mosquito net, and probably the greenhouse itself... It grew more than expected :( Its good and bad in the same time. I have another special Kush that I bent on the side, its filling the space horizontally. I now know I should have done that on Special kush 1 (or not, because I wouldn't have any space for Royal bluematic 3 and Royal ak...)

I just mean to say it became more than expected in my wildest dream. Now to make it to harvest time!!!

I also have a plant in a pot! she was meant to be with the other, but she was sooooo tiny and puny, I thought she would die. I kept her in pot when I saw her getting better. Here's some pics:

I don't have a meter to show the size but she is small. I could take a picture with me behind tomorrow if you want.
 
Pink is flowering time, green is still in veg. (Altough its slowly changing to flowering stage uh... Not sure how to show the transition in colour, so one day I'll just change the text color to pink)
 
Day 73 pics are out of this world!!!! How much sunlight are those girls getting in a day? those are amazing.
 
Summer solstice just passed, so ... approx 16 hours of sunlight per day, for the whole month of June. Now its going down. I was lucky to have a good summer, but near my place is not the best place to grow usually. Climate is meh. Greenhouse helped with that I think. Temp became too hot, I had to open it fully. Even then it reaches 34°C. Usually 30°C opened on three sides.
When i'll have to remove the greenhouse, I'll be sad. I spent time building it, and i'm scared in september (harvest for special kush and bubble kush, photoperiod) when it'll be rainy and all... I want to protect them like babies, even though they are hard to protect due to size haha. They gave me back my effort.

Amendment made a difference I think. That was the hardest part... I mixed horse manure, dried blood (homemade), and some store bought phosphore/potassium, also store bought soil (nothing particular about that one). Tried to buy bio shit. I could have use dried, crunched bones, but I didn't have access to it, didn't knew how much to add etc.

Having problem with the potted one, I forgot to add nutrients to her, I think she used up all her nitrogen. I added clay balls to her pot, so she's got very airy soil, less quantity.

Don't forget to check pH from time to time, I made the mistake... :( Used water that sat in sun for too long, and added some nettle juice (for veg), those two made pH of 9............. Cursed myself. But now i know, learn from my mistake haha.
Also using blackstrap molasses, every other watering. That doesnt change the pH.

I have no clue if any of what I did had any effect, all I can see is the plants growing like that. My guess is mainly because of the sun and the good soil. 3m2, I tilled it, mixed it deep and such.
 
Also, I mulched! Lots of cut grass protect the soil from leaking humidity :D Many insects crawling, life is there, it is good. Worms and spiders and all that. I don't mind. As long as the plants don't suffer. (Some spider made their nests, I chased them :) )
Right now having an infestation of thrips :( I will try to release ladybugs, see what happens. Don't want to spray because some plants are in flowering. Plants don't seem too much damaged by the infestation yet. But its everywhere.
 
smh, They starting re vegging on their own. i have NO clue what might have caused this. I dont add nutes, and for the most part, they're in the same spot in my yard, with the exception when it rains. I put them in the green house when its raining
 
Thing is, if you had planted them too early, they would have flowered from the beginning. They wouldn't look so big today. Also 10 hours of direct sunlight is good enough. There is the ambient light to take in account :) How long does the day last?
 
Bro, I'm so jealous of your ladies!! I was hoping mine would look like yours, but its all good. Lol, yea I caught on to what you meant my amendments. I bought kind soil, which has a lot of the ingredients that you used for your soil. You know what I HAVENT been doing??? I havent been checking the Ph of my water. I just give the girls some water from my hose and call it a day. Smh, I bought a Ph meter before I started this grow, and I never bothered to use it. I even bought those crystals to adjust the Ph for soil
