2024 fall outdoor grow-cbrians vs autoflowers

[cbrians]

Day 50ish

Decided I’ve been going easy on these girls! More stress!

Redid the jack, it had snapped on me prior. Seems okay. Had linked the devil too but it’s bending aleight

Green crack had a weak point at the base from my support so it snapped, got her wrapped and splinted

Alright pulled the strawberry too hard! Which I guess is known as super cropping? Anyways propped her up with a stick. Doesn’t look sad! Just…bent. Good thing I’m not super dependent on yield lmao.

One of my plants has this tip burn thing. Not sure if it’s from nutrients, (I used horse poop and gaia green?), or light exposure.

Black weed project update.

2/2 black orchid have popped
2/2 black runtz (labeled domina cuz I suck) popped
2/3 grape ape f1’s popped
0/1 northern lights popped

I keep trying to start all these plants and the world keeps killing them until I’m at the legal limit

You are so mean! LOL
Okay, in all fairness, I need this skill. Next year is going to be another learning year when I 'learn' how to manage the out of control branches. I'm expecting trees but have to keep'em a little shorter.
Spraying just the 12 last year took 6 gallons and an hour each time. Don't want to do that again.

BTW, your experiment is going swimmingly! They look like they're enjoying the treatment.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you and you’re experience tagging along and keeping me from
getting too close to the edge

I learn best from experience, I’ve spent hours reading about how to and not to stress autos but I gotta get in there and try it. I don’t think they’re at they’re best but they do seem happy

 

[cbrians]

Raised my supplemental lights up. I know they’re only supplemental and not super strong but they were like a few inches from the tops of plants.

I’ve hear the key to a good cannabis grow is an inconsistent grow space and as many changes as erratically as possible.

Goooood afternoon farm. Update on these autos.

Everyone has survived the low/medium stress testing. Seeing pistils on most. Not sure if the guava is getting too much light or has a longer veg period or whatever. Most of them are coming along nicely.

Still got this little bit of burn something on the blueberry big devil.

Black weed project. Looks like we’re down to 5/8 surviving. That’s what I get for planting shit out of season

Looking too damn good for my liking! Anybody can grow black weed! I grew black weed. It wasn’t even supposed to be black!

Yeah just gotta nurse them through the first couple weeks! Which isn’t my strong suit. First couple seed pop out, then I’m fingering the other pots trying to find out what’s taking them so long

Well, you’re kind of an uncharted territory! Lots of riddles! May not be the most productive way, but it’s the most fun way! And the most educational way! Those lights probably aren’t adding much! And the low hours of daylight are going to slow things down! And the humidity and coolness, slow down the dry backs! But they will get there! Enjoying watching this! Even if I have to eat a little crow! Hang in there, brother! Don’t fall into the trap of comparing your grow to people who are growing with 20 hours of Light! Any Mugg can do that!

It’s my favorite kind of territory! There’s no right or wrong out here just things that kinda work, and things that kinda don’t.

Yeah, lights probably aren’t doing too much. I have my whole greenhouse on one outlet so half the time they don’t even turn on, like there’s enough power to keep them running but not enough to get them started. Would have been a good idea too to do an experiment with one strain. have one with extra light and one without.

Only competition right now is myself, and my lack of patience

 

[Oldchucky]

Well, look at the bright side! If you didn’t have this to do, you would have to actually communicate with your wife! It’s kind of like Sports!

One plant is dead, one is getting frosty

fuck I replied to this in my mind I swear

We communicate okay, better when we’re stoned lol thank god for weed

Okay, have to ask, what is Black Weed?

Trying to grow purple weed in cold conditions to make it super dark

Really just trying to appeal to my inner goth kid

A normal person would kill three plants and stop trying

Mixed some soil for next season. Hoping the 4-5 months of sitting is enough.

1 part is 1 wheelbarrow

2 parts manure
2 parts top soil
1 part perlite
1 part wood chips
1 part part compost

Also added about 2-3lb worm castings, about 10lb fish bone meal, and maybe 5lb combined of gaia power bloom and all purpose. Hosed it a bit with each layer and stirred.

Really gonna test rhis ‘you can’t overfeed with organic’ theory. Worst comes to worst I’ll mix in more top soil.

My wife ordered a bad ass hexagon green house on temu before the tariffs hit wanna do three garden beds in it with two plants each. Here’s to hoping.
