I’ll also add, if i hadnt already before…. That sherbadough that I put outside, i thought that was a male. I pulled it out a couple weeks ago to cull. It sat outside of my tent for 2 days and i thought that i would test out going from coco to soil outdoors. I figured since it was a male i didnt have anything to lose. Turned out to be a female, and was the absolute best plant in the tent at the time.

It took a while for the roots to grow out but shes starting to grow out again

I've never topped myself in my limited experience so always looking in to it. Maybe on another grow as this one is goingg well.

Speaking of which, I need to update my thread as lots going on.

Grow an extra for “funzies” and top that thang! : )

Most definitely. Might try it with the freebie I got from Mephisto that I'm sticking outside.

It’s like it was ment to be! : ) I think I topped my two outside Raskals lol. When I was legitimately growing outdoor we did not top though so its all new to me as well just another trick for the bag!

Mixed up some soil for my upcoming Chemdog D (CSI) and ECSD (Shorline) grow. Couldnt find any of my beloved HPCC (best goddamned soil base of all time!) in stock anywhere locally, so had to improvise. Will cook for about a month. 90% insoluble ingredients, will have ample time to break down. If any nitrogen is needed i will top dress with guano. I seriously doubt that will be necessary

Ingredients for any of those who might care:

-Promix bx
-Black Kow
-Coco
-Perlite
-Alfalfa meal
-Kelp Meal
-Oyster shell
-Langbeinite
-Rock phosphate
-Fish bone meal
-Bat Guano
-Humic acids
-Azomite
-Diatomaceous earth

This is the second time i opted for cow manure over worm castings. Castings have gotten ridiculous in price and i have seen similar performance from Black Kow. First few weeks i will water with mosquito bits to kill any unwanted insects. The only draw back of Black Kow imo. But to be completely fair ive brought in bugs with both soil and castings recently.

i was considering that as well, the coast of Maine castings I buy have doubled in price over the last year and a half it’s crazy defenitly watching, I also make teas with my EWC I’d imagine the black Kow would be the more or less the same I think I’ve seen that locally at one of the nurseries

I pretty much want either one for the microbes, not so much the nutrients. One of these days i’ll make my own castings, until then i’ll use black kow. I refuse to pay as much for worm shit as i do my genetics.

My sherbadough outside is in pretty much the same mix.

Yep same reason I give EWC I top dress with it as well as do teas, I also use Advanced nutrients organic mikes OG tea and I add in great white shark myco as well

For the hydra plant I’ve been using fox farms microbe brew (I have all the big bottles of FF on hand from years ago, might as well get my money outta them lol, figured I’d use them on the mother plant, any FF neut I use on the veg plants is about 1/4 dose as I also amend the soil with Gaia and my usual amendments

I never even realized AN made teas. I use their sensi line alot.

Ive gotten lazy as shit with teas these days, roots organic terp teas have gotten me spoiled

I haven’t found many but local hydro shop had this so I grabbed it while I was there

I got the little quart bottle was like $23 (they want $57 for the same bottle on Amazon ) I feed it every 2 weeks, not a major part of the soil’s diet but keeps those microbes happy and I’m all about that!

Given up on any hopes of a canopy because im taking them out of the tent to water. Sherbadough much more prolific in stretch, dont have any more height to put them on a platform for drain. Few ugly leaves from when they didnt like the mega crop calmag while i was feeding sense a/b. Lesson learned. I flushed them and got a much more agreeable calmag for them, no further issue since.

I did the same this run, I just let em go wild, bent over a few tops bonzai style wrapped with wire as I only had a few nodes that really wanted to stretch, got me an extra 5-6” to the light

They look nice and healthy to me fam!

Yeah other than those few leaves theyre not doing too bad despite my neglect. Never doing more than 2 plants in coco again tho

 

[Stokes]

Some very late starting plants for outdoors. In coco right now, will be in dirt next week. Not really looking for much yield wise, for breeding purposes. Feeding everything at 1EC. IBG’s dont like it much


Mosca Bubblegums

‘79/‘81 skunks.
Seedlings really dont like the 1EC lol

Doing some testing with the UVA/B light. Struggling with the light controller. Want to run just the UVA but not sure if i can do that. Will be online and operational after the bulk in a couple weeks. If you guys get into the UV light wear glasses, it aint no joke. My eyes were strained for a couple of hours and i didnt even look directly at it

ECSD and Golden Goat from shoreline on deck. Some Chemdog D by CSI too. Have a good night fellas

 

[Stokes]

Been a while. Heres some of what ive done since i visited last.


Indiana bubblegums i did outdoors. They did very well, put them out very late and performed much better than expected

Lambs bread

Ecsd and Golden Goat

Here are some Chemdog D’s (CSI)
i have pollinated by a blockhead stud

Hey brother, greetings from franklin co. How was the bubblegum? Thinking of trying some of those.

Sorry. Been away.

Both did great outdoors. One had a serious bubblegum nose but unfortunately it left in late flower. Neither had bubblegum terps. Good yielders and decent enough smoke. Would very much like to get one to finish with the bubblegum

Nice to see you around Stokes!

Santa cruz Blue Dream (Santa Cruz Goat Farm)

Triangle Kush S1’s (CSI)

SCBD has been a phenomenal grower the whole way through. The 2 in the tent are SSH leaners. Have another one vegging in the 4x4 that leans heavily blueberry. The only true blueberry terps ive had, like snow cone syrup.

Tk’s are the worst plants ive ever done in veg. They’re high maintenance, dont like a lot of water. Would recommend really small pots with frequent drybacks. Theyre showing up for flower tho.

Veg tent is mostly High and Lonesome.

AM Haze
Breakin Haze
Skyline
Head Break



Also have some of FdM’s ESB and Bittersweets Dolce Vita. Some of Bodhis Mango HP too. All will be outdoors except the Hazes

Here is a Red Cake by Surfr Seeds in the 2x2. Nose is all Cherry Pie. No signs of herm yet
