Growing outdoors from seed in high desert Southern New Mexico

[Wigbob]

Getting close to harvest

 

[Wigbob]

The inner branches on this one seem to be dwarfed. The outer branches seem fine but the buds are small and not big cattails. Almost like the old Tia sticks we used to buy back in the day. We had some real cool weather early spring. It may have F’ed up some.

 

[Wigbob]

It’s going to finish first though. It’s getting real close.

I’ve had damn Squash bugs lay eggs on some leaves and a few little caterpillars. Haven’t had much issues luckily. I think regular water is the key. It’s weird, I’ve tried several seed strains given to me but the environment seems to make them turn out the same.

Those are purdy plants!!!
I planted squash late to see if there'd be less bugs & it worked! No squash bugs! I would freak so bad if my weed had squash bugs egging on them LMBO!!
I used regular water last year, no fluoride in our water. But I let it sit for a day for chlorine to dissipate.

Thanks. Im going to try planting squash later next year. So sick of those damn bugs.

Wow they are a long tall drink of water!!!
Very interesting! They do remind me of thi (Thailand) sticks. Is that how it's abrievated Tia? I don't remember it ever being written down lol.
I didn't get tight buds last year, but we had motion detector lights going off. And found out after harvest that those lights are a no no. Live & learn lol.

I would start by getting some bamboo and jam it an inch or two from the main stalk all the way to the bottom of the pot! Then start tying shit off on it! Mainly, the main stalk. See you in the morning!

If they are fertilizer, grow dots. They are supposed to last all year pretty much with one application! Just two cents! Might be kind of overdoing it on the recharge also! But that shouldn’t hurt anything! But grow dots are one and done!

Yeah, you have to be careful with those grow dots. First time I tried to grow again after decades without, the guy who sold me seeds recommended grow dots. I stupidly applied them to the soil, and the little seedling immediately withered and died. That was before I learned that you absolutely shouldn't put any fertilizer on young plants. So...moral of the story: be careful with those dots! As Chucky says, if you use them, it's one and done. They'll last the season as they dissolve. Don't overdo them.

I started smoking in 1968... Wow I'm old lol. Last year finally decided to grow some myself. I bought 2 plants & it all went pretty well. I couldn't find much info on anyone growing in the extreme temps we have in our area. 1 was a Haze of some sort, and I've loved it so much that I have not been back to a dispensary since. The other plant wasn't as good... To my liking, so I've given most of it away.
This year I was given seeds & planted about 12. Kush OG, African & God Father.
I've got 5 plants going. I started the seeds in solo cups outdoors, on 4/20/25.
The 1 Kush has been kinda finicky. Doesn't seem to like much nutrients & seems to have a bad reaction when I've given it worm casting tea. Strange.
We hit 107 one day last week, the plants are very thirsty!! Our temps are steady at nothing less than 100-105 degrees now. LoL. I'm doing the best I can to grow my medicine where I live. :-)
1st pic is of all plants in a row. Front 1 is one of the "African".

Looking beautiful!!! I get so excited looking at everyone's plants

I am still trying to figure out if it’s a photo plant because it’s been growing over two months with no pixels all my other plants that I have bought through a company called string seeds. I’ve been happy with them. I’m just curious if anybody knows if this is a photo or not. It’s hard to tell yet.

Two months is an awful long time for an auto not to flower! But I suppose anything is possible!

I was going to put it outside to see if it would change. Do you think I should flip it? I have been going 18 hours of late every day.

I was hoping you would chime in Old Chucky Love the 'anything is possible' LoL Nowadays life is crazy HaHa
I don't know much @Bozzin but I'd of thought autos would show before 2months. Aren't they harvesting (autos) in 6wks? I dunno.. Lol.

You are the grower! If you’ve ruled out autos then to flip or not to flip is on you! Tent room has a lot to do with it! Decisions like this are what you get paid the big bucks to make! in my opinion the sooner you start making them the better grower you will be down the road! There’s plenty of information out there! Good luck with it!

Hubby thinks the roots can go thru this.
Does anyone think we should do 4 holes in the square also? This is for my Kush that isn't doing well. Thanks in advance

Would need to see the Kush that isn’t doing too well! And what you are planning to do that will make it do better! If you have a mind too!

 

[poozgrowz]

I had hubby do it cos of that 1 guy who told me the bottom of his container looked like Swiss cheese haha. And you Old Chucky who said I need to plant next year in bigger pots

 

[poozgrowz]

Here's where we moved t the Kush. Hope she likes it! :) .. against neighbors vinyl fence haha
