2025 outdoor grows! Let’s see em!

[Ninjadogma]

Sunny so cal. You've seen the Rose Parade. New Year's Day 80's, sunny. Our winter is usually Feb with a few overnight freezes but not many. Depends on the weather flow. We had 5 years of wet and cold weather and this past winter was very mild. Hoping for another. Plants don't flower well here in the winter with 10hr light, cold, wet, etc. and I flower plants here in the winter

The one regret I have that I did a seed run is now asking a couple plants for a nice finish in mid December. If it manages to not get too nasty until after Thanksgiving, they still ought to come out nice. Nice thing about keeping everything potted is being able to move them around, get em out of nasty weather when needed. But this year I think I'm just gonna let them ones finish at Christmas time and then... Shit never mind forgot the other 3 I'm still vegging including that one with the trichome fans! So I guess I'll be able to take a break in January. Aw who am I kidding you think I'm gonna be able to resist popping a few of them new seeds once they get seasoned?

I love Arkansas. Spent Christmas late 90's. Everyone has a pond I wanna pond! Drove through the panhandle of Texas with cattle and snow on the ground. Fell in love with that place too. Wife and I looked at Tennessee, 30 acres, 24/7 stream, well, old farm house for a dozen years. Hunt and fish on my own property. 3 dogs, 2 labs, one white and one red and a hound dog, we'd name 'em Red, White and 'ol Blue. We looked for years but we got old. We were both born here and we'll no doubt die here.

While we may live in the "city" we're in San Diego county surrounded by old horse property. Our neighbor across the street has 4 acres. We've got about 3/4's. I love it here and it would be hard to move but I grew up in a city with the only open spaces were parks and schools but we were 10 miles from the beach and 30 miles from the mountains where I spent a lot of my time. I could very easily live off grid and wish we had moved 10 years ago but of all places on earth to die it could be a lot worse

I complain about Ohio, but this was where I chose to retire. I was stationed in Hawaii and Guam...did some time in San Diego, LA area and San Fran. Spent 10 years on the banks of the Patukent River in Maryland.. I've traveled the world. I’ve been in every state and 3 US territories. Yes they may have been better places to grow old....but for growing there are always tents....and the prospect and giddiness of spring to come to get the girls out in the weather.

Ok, yeah I thought Cali. A far cry from our cold and snowy winters!! Could probably set up a greenhouse here, add a little at the floor, use all the snow to insulate the outside of the walls. Nice and bright

What's the strain called...Snow caps.!?

I complain about it too. I've never been West of the Mississippi. But I've traveled north to south on this side, and always happy to come home. Ohio offers some of the best hunting and fishing. IMHO

Nothing like this weather craziness in Michigan.

I have lots of friends and family up that way and they are all saying the same. It's been a crazy year but hell I think every year is crazy anymore.

I'll tell you what...if you ever get the chance, do it! There are some beautiful places right here in the US that you really need to see to believe they exist.

I've been all over the Orient and granted some places there are just amazing but the forests of Nor Cal. and Washington. The Grand Canyon area. The Sonoran desert at dawn. The Pacific Ocean at dusk, pick a spot (well some are better than others). Alaska! the clear cold lakes of Minnesota. Are all just as amazing and much easier to access.

Do it if and when you can.

They did that where I grew up.

Zoap freebie pack. Tried a preroll. Loved it. So ran the pack. She is getting some purp from the cold. Flower is dense. Maybe not o.g. dense, but not too bad. She has some shine.
Her smoke is medicinal! I know technically it all is meds, but most nowadays are bred for tricomes and color, and flavor. She is upbeat, and ready to carpe de Dia! Really digging this girl!!

My Mom flooded the grass one winter so we could skate in the backyard when we were little. Unfortunately she didn't know it would kill the grass and she never did it again. LOL

I have about a month before I frame up the hockey rink boards. Leaves are still galling and we need steady, below freezing through the days and nights. Last 10yrs that means well after Christmas

If anywhere I've wanted to see. It'd be Alaska. But I know I'll never get, too.
Virginia, going into N Carolina is a sight to behold. Appalachian blood runs thru my veins, ancestrally. Love the mountains, though I don't live there. Hunt and fish them, I have.

 

[Hossgrows]

Getting there.

Have a shit pile of smalls to deal with, but their worth it when it comes to the smoke

I was transferred there late 80's in the spring. I moved the fam there and were there in the Shenandoah Valley for the summer, fall and winter. It's is beautiful! Took them on Skyline Dr. a couple times before the snow. Snow hit, car wrecked...f' this back to Texas by Christmas
