My first outdoor grow diary Mango Haze

[SchwiftyGrower]

Day 1 of 12/12

Gave a big watering to help get rid of any excess nutrient build up in the soil.

I then topped the soil with DE for pest prevention and tobacco dust to give the extra nutrient push of nitrogen into the stretch phase and watered one more time.

She has a nice shape right now and the lowest part is catching up to make an even canopy. Let’s see how we do and if we can make it the full length this time!

I take it back, I am not flowering her yet. I decided that I wanted to top one more time to get more cola sites. I trimmed all of the larf at the bottom to increase vertical growth on the top sites and once that is healed, I will top one more each of the main colas and once that heals and grows for a week or two then I’ll proceed with flowering.

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

Healing up nicely!! I’ll let her grow out a bit and fully heal before doing her final top

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

18 days of curing and sitting at a nice constant 59-60% without burping. Took a few sample pieces out and, I’m pretty damn happy with the results. Very very good and uplifting high, and the dry hit on the J is sweet mango.

When it’s burning, the taste of mango goes slightly goes away and tastes sweet with a slight hint of pepper. It hits with a smooth inhale and late expansion. I think if I can make it the full length next time, I will really enjoy what it can bring out. Not the prettiest buds to get in the magazines, but the smell and taste make up for it!

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

Healing up beautifully and doing great! I’m happy with the amount of cola sites that she has now, so I will stop here and let her grow up for a couple more weeks and let her flower!

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

8 days into flower. This run is going much better than the last, and think I’ll see better and faster bud production. No pest issues so far and I gave her the final foilar spray this morning.

Last feeding
1/2 gallon RO
2.5 tsp FloraMicro
2.5tsp FloraGrow
3.5tsp FloraBloom
1/2 tsp FF Open Sesame
1 tsp Calimagic

Day 14 Flower

Update:
I’ve given up on finishing her outdoors, the environment is all over the place and now have a huge influx of caterpillars and other pests that I don’t feel like fighting. I have moved her inside the same room as my tent, but on the backside of it. There isn’t any light leaks and I can keep my humidity steady between 40-50% with 77F temps.

Watering:

I gave regular RO with 2tsp of Calimagic 4 days ago and now it’s nutrient watering time.

1 gallon RO
5tsp FloraMicro
4tsp FloraGrow
6.5tsp FloraBloom
1/4 tsp- Open Sesame

Lights:
2x85w Samsung 301h Diodes with Samsung driver, no dimmer. They are weaker, but I’m intrigued to see if I get buds that are somewhat dense.

Stats:
I trained her hard during Veg to keep her as low as possible. I have maybe 7 more days of stretch but she seems to be close to done to her stretch and she’s only about a foot and a half tall but the Bud sites are much better this go around so I’m hoping for some thicker colas.

Happy growing everyone

Day 17 of flower-

Starting to see the first signs of frost on her, WAY sooner than last time. The nutrients, watering and environment is much better since moving indoors and it’s definitely showing this time.

Let’s hope I don’t have any unforeseen issues and can make it the full length in flower.

Thanks brother! That has to be tough with fluctuating temps, I’m sure that’s stressful. I’m very lucky with the weather where I am at, 50 at night and 80 during the day and the rain season is over. The room it’s in, leads from the outside but has a closed door and I’ve been able to maintain 40% humidity for flowering since my tents taking in most of the moisture and kicking it outside. Hope all goes well with the temps on your side, thankfully these plants can take a beating

Well ain’t this a bitch. I’ve removed it, and none of the other Bud sites have it. I’m not sure how long it’s been there, but I don’t see any mites as of now. I am going to have to keep a closer eye now and hope I don’t have to call it

 

[Oldchucky]

Amazing how things can change in a couple of days! Maybe you will luck out and it’s just a little spider in there. But the holes in the leaves don’t bode well. Should be able to see mites By now if you have some decent magnification. Good luck!

Dude no kidding, I think I got lucky and it was only a spider. I’ve been so cautious that I couldn’t believe my eyes at first.

I think when I moved her to my laundry room to do a full clean and dusting, I believe a single spider crawled there and made those webbings and got stuck. The degraded leaf is what had me as well thinking it may have been mites. I’ve been in the soil and all around the plant and can’t find any evidence of an infestation. I threw some DE in the soil just to be safe and so far things are still on track!

Day 25 Flower-

As mentioned above, not seeing any indications of an infestation and think it may have been a one off spider who wanted to join the party. Either way, I threw some DE in the soil even though I’m not a fan of it during flowering but it is what it is, better safe than sorry!

Bud sites are starting to really fill in. I’ve done 2 only water feedings since her last heavy feeding so next water she will get another feeding.

Day 28 Flowering -

Water day
1 gallon of water RO
2 tsp cal mag
1/4 tsp Beastie Bloomz
4 tsp FloraMicro
2 tsp FloraMicro
6 tsp FloraBloom
6.7pH

Filling in beautifully and starting to smell loud!! I’ll be doing a good Bud washing at the end of this, room picks up dust pretty easily and hard to keep constantly clean but doing my best. 4 weeks in and hoping I can finish her within the next 4-6 weeks.

Day 32 Flower-
Not much updates other than filling in and getting frostier!
