Join me as I grow out Mr.Nice Walkabout in the great outdoor :]

[imsilly]

Hello fellow growers,

For those of you who wanted to know what Mr.Nice Walkabout is all about this thread will provide the answers, stay tune as I'll update on a weekly basis from germination to smoke reports. Let's begin..


Germination rate: 100% (Out of 18 seeds.. killed 2 myself of weak genetics :)

Sativa/Indica ratio (educated guess): (12 out of 16 plants looks Indica dominates..)

Growing media: $12 for 40Lbs Miracle Grow soil, $3 for 20pack 16oz cup (both sold at walmart)

Lights: New waves 2ft" 4 lamps (96watts) for $160 (shipping included :) http://www.plantlightinghydroponics...t4-lamp-t5-fluorescent-grow-light-p-1934.html [Note: Highly recommended buying a 4 foot long if you budget is not tight..]

Fan: Optimus Ultra Slim Tower Fan $29.. free shipping if pickup at store (Makes a little rotation noise but super quiet if you don't use rotation) (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Optimus-Desktop-Ultra-Slim-Tower-Fan-With-LED-Display/11250080)

Total invested: $255

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here's how the plants are being grown...

Grow Plans: This will be an OUTDOOR grow, I'm giving them a 1.5-2 months indoor head start for greater chance of survival in the wild.. my location is about 44 Northern hemisphere, same as NY or MA) and will transplant them outdoor May 1st-7th.

Germination: Started on March 1st (soaked 2 bounty towel, put all seeds between the sheets and hidden them in a dark/warm closet.. all sprouted on March 4th then transplant them into 16oz cups.

Lighting Schedule: All plants are under constant 24/7 lighting environment.

Growth Pattern: Plants seems to be growing at a rate of 2-3 inches per week (7 weeks X 2.5 inches = 16 inches tall before going outdoors), also the lights are placed 2-3 inches away from plants.

Watering: I water them every 2-3 days, I don't add ANY nutes or fertilizer...

Odor: The plants being giving odors about 1.5-2 weeks of their growth stage.. I liked the smell but not so with parents ^_^

-----------------------------------------------

From the rest onwards I'll give a couple of weekly updated pictures along with a short description what the update is about.... note tho, once they're outdoors I'll limits the update every month or 3 weeks apart as visiting the grow spots too often will provoke suspicious so just lay back and enjoy every updates I can provide :)

Here's a some shots right after germination.. a new beginnings :)

Hi JWB! Thanks you for your suggestion hopefully one of the staff can move this thread to the appropriate places :party0042:

Hello everyone ^^

So here's an update.. introducing 3 new plants to the family (all started 9 days later than Walkabout) but are catching on fast..

1st pic - Sage
2&3 pic - 8 Miles High

I'm doing a cloning project this weekend for sex determination.. once they show genitals it's time to move the males aside for the ladies to grow ^_^

Also I've just begun feeding them Fox Farm Big Grow.. lets see how big they get in a couple days.. until then enjoy friends :]

Pretty girls :) I say your doing quite well :) :clapping I don't know.. had my 3-6 mile scouting trip again xD long ass walk.. but found some VERY rich and fertile soil.. :party0042: just got to worry about hard rains flooding it.. because it's right by a creek.. but hey I say it's worth the risk.. :evilgrin0040: :smoke

Well I definitely wouldn't say 2.5 miles in lazy.. haha :P

Move them to the spot in the dead of night.. then go back and do the work in the morning.. the best thing I could say :evilgrin0040: and haha the last one looks like this lobster.. (never used pictures so idk if it's gonna show) xD But that's a disease.. Idk if your plant has it.. I'm just saying :evilgrin0040:

 

[imsilly]

Good idea.. would minimize the risk this way.. by the way.. is the lobster photosopped? :]

 

[AliasAO]

Nice Log so far MS.Silly. Plants are looking beautiful and healthy.

The real question is how r you keeping them under raps in your parents casa?

U must be the Houdini of Pot.

Glad you like it Alias, it's almost a month without them noticing.. today is April 7.. just 3 more weeks and they'll be outside.. I was caught growing a few years back.. hopefully faith will be on my side this time around :party0042:

Indoors a carbon filter will save your life when it comes to smell prevention. Good luck on the stealth grow :harvest:

Nice quote justwannablaze, take it easy

Hi Ohiofarmer :makeup

Luckily the closet located next by the widow.. open it wide and the smells dissipate :party0042:

Today while watering I took some sexy pics of the plants, enjoy :]

1 - Most beautiful of em all
2 - 4 biggest in closet
3 - compare to hand
4 - fimmed 4 days ago
5 - 95 degree flex :]
6 - 15 inch monster WoOW
7 - almost a foot wide..

Anyhow, I was thinking setting 12/12 to pre-flower then revert back to veg and start taking clones.. thinks it's a good idea??

That's all a matter of personal choice.. but I would say they might need trans planted into a bigger container first, IMO.. but yeah that's about the right age/height you should start the cloning.. =] Idk I switched my focus on mycology.. gonna be way more work.. but a lot more fun and bigger adventure.. ^_^ :icon_cookie:
