Outdoor grow in Southeast Michigan 2024

Beauty Bud !!!

Lineage on Blood Milk and Sky - Blood Milk and Sky link

Expression wise, she looks like kind of a mix between my Biggs and my old Columbian. Been watching those close with interest.

This is my Biggs rn (bubba x gelato) def gonna be my first into flower. She's changing up growth quite rapidly now. Starting to feel some sticky fingers when I defoliate. She's a weirdo pheno. Her leaves are rapidly elongating and dropping finger count.

Hadn't really looked her over close recently. But she's starting to look a lot like the Blood Milk & Sky. Not quite as gnarly tho.

Yeeeeeea you guys are in for trim jail bad. This is my only plant that has me dreading the trim.

Did you order one for me too? LOL
Really depends on whether the mold monster makes an appearance how much it gets trimmed.

As sativa dominant/hempy in expression those things are, you're prob gonna loose a lot less to mold and rot then you think. Plants that grow like that tend to be the most rot and mildew resistant plants. Believe it or not.

Sorry, I don't imagine that makes ya feel any better lmao

Looking great girl, I fell behind on reading your thread and WOW!
I haven't ever been able to grow trees like you are but I did see a guy start rough trimming a day or two prior to chop. He moved his step ladder around and pulled out a huge pile of fans. I imagine it would help when you have that much to process.

I usually get impatient near the end, (don't we all) and start removing fan leaves from the stems about 2-3 weeks before harvest. Makes it a little easier, but still takes a loooonnnggg time. This year will be interesting 'cause the 12 are supposed to be more resistant to mold coming from an outdoor (so he says) only breeder in Canada. I'm preventatively spraying bio-fungicides as often as I can, we have been having spotty showers and timing it so the blasted spray won't get washed off the day after I put it on is tricky.

Oh, don't I wish! LOL
He's great for things that don't involve getting his fingers sticky, so no, he won't be helping me with harvest.
Do you have family and/or friends help you?

It's smart nowdays to be able to get local bred seeds for certain climates. Have you seen any finished product of these strains your growing? Can i ask if these come from a farm?

When I read they only grow outdoors and most of their seeds are heavy indica, I thought I'd giv'em a try. Plus I wanted to try regular seeds and that's all they offer.
After reading this I was convinced he has some knowledge of the plant. (oh, and I realized I messed up big time with the lights.)

Pre-Season Checklist for Growing Early & Fast Flowering Outdoor Cannabis Strains

For us northern gardeners coming out of winter hibernation, popping seeds in preparation for this season’s outdoor grow is an exciting way to shake off the winter doldrums and look forward to the optimism of summer and a bountiful harvest. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of emails from folks...

I only have 3 plants so I take care of them myself. Most of what I grow gets gifted.

3 sounds like a good number.

I think ill do 3 next year. I planned to do 6 this year, by the time i was filling solo cups it was 10. Had more still viable then i expected so then it was 12. Had two unknown males removed, then decided to plant 5 more because more is more and more is good, yea?

Maybe if I only plan three, I'll only end up with the 6 I originally planned. One can dream.

ok ive been saying 14, turns out i have 15 out there


Peaceblaster #1 is probably gonna be 10-12 ft tall and about 14 or 15 foot wide by harvest


I'm bout to raise the net a couple feet, had to make the 6ft posts a couple feet taller she's actually taller then the extended posts, just hard to tell from down here

My wife used to sew for enjoyment. Then she started a children's clothing business. It became a JOB/CHORE. I don't grow to make growing a chore so I don't plant more than I want to take care of.

I've got Lucky13 seed like Romulan Reserve, Hash plant, African Sativa, Deep 6 and Deep Kill, White Diesel, Skunk Y2k etc. ... sitting in the fridge. Galgrows was asking about where can we find more info on strains and it's hard to find. There used to be more info on GrowDiaries but they cull info fast. Lucky13 and ACE are 2 seed banks I trust but that comes with experience which only happens when you take a chance.

I did find some info about the strains. All regular seeds which i really liked to grow but i don't have the space anymore to have 2 tents running which i'd need to discern M/F. At this time i just need quantity and quality LOL. I need my pantry stocked. I'm getting there.

Sprayed all the photos in the back acre. (took 6 gallons)
3 gallons well water
3T Howler
3 oz. Cease
1t LALstop
1 1/2 oz. BT

Then watered each of the 12 with:
1 gallon water
1t TPS Silica

The critter who gnawed on my extras has been discouraged 'cause I see no more damage.
When I cleaned out the understory I found leaves with Septoria on my two Angel '98 plants in with the extras. (did not find it on the one in the 12)
Hopefully the spray today will slow it down.

I guess I'm at the point of counting how many more years I'll be able to do this, and I want to grow them all. LOL
I'm a crafter, or used to be one, and each time I switched to a new one I collected all the tools and learned how to do IT. Then my interest would wane and I'd take up a new one. (poor hubby)

THIS time I think I'm hooked for good. It's been 5 years and I just want to learn more and do more.
