I droppped 4 beans today. Lets get the outdoor started indoors.
2 auto amnesia seeds. They are sprouting in wet paper towel and in a couple of days they will be in 3 gallon fabric pots with organic soil. I will buy some when I figure out what is available.
2 white rhino fem photo period seeds as well dropped They wont flower until September. I have 2 fabric pots 7 gallons each for the white rhinos. Lets see how big they get.
They will be in my grow box to veg with my new 135 Quantum Board. The light came today and it is pretty crazy bright.
In 4 weeks or when the autos start flowering I will put them out side. I will keep up-potting the white rhino until its ready for the 7 gallon pot. I have solo cup, 1 gallon, 3 gallon hard pots and then into the 7 gallon pot.
Woo hoo. Good luck on the outdoors everyone !
An awesome side note. I threw all of my perlite coco into a mound i used to grow in. I will turn all of that into the soil and plant carrots and onions. The soil will be loose enough to actually grow them well.
The grow box is equipped and i went to a hydro store and got happy frog soil. I have the GH line of organics from before. The autos are going right in the 3 gallon root pouches and I will up pot the white rhino from beer cup to 1 gallon to 3 gallon hard plastic to a 7 gallon root pouch. :D That light is crazy nice.
When i pot them up I will have to figure out how to turn down the light a bit to ensure i dont burn them. :)
550 watt mcob, 315 CMH, 200 watts vero timber and a 135 watt quantum and a 45 mars reflector. I have realized i am good on lighting. Time to grow the shit out of the lights if they don't sell. 4 plants and 4 tents is where I might be headed but I am good with that. I love some wicked brownies eh.
The two white russians got baked by the quantum heat so I now have a cheese auto and an auto amnesia in pots outdoors. Started with a mars48 reflector until they were growing and then transplanted 2 pots outside (3 gallon hard pots). The 2 white rhinos were put in 1 gallon containers to fill the space. In a week or two they will go outside in 7 gallon fabric pots or 15 gallon plastic pots. I am undecided at this time.
Only water with bioroot and epsom salts have been used (1 tsp per gallon for bioroot and 1/4 tsp of epsom salt)
I will put one white rhino in a 7 gallon root pouch and one in a 15 gallon hard plastic container. Then I will know which pot i like better for growing. :D
The rocks in the soil are a glass rock that is like giant perlite. It weighs nothing but is very rock like. Like a solid rock rockwool cube made of glass.
The deck plants are enjoying the crazy sun and heat we have been having.
The two black pots are autos. 1 Cheese and 1 Auto Amnesia. I am not sure which is which but it will be more apparent in a couple of weeks.
I might transplant 1 of the white rhinos in those 30 gallon pots to see what it does. :D I will wait until they are a lot bigger and see how the roots are doing under the pot.
I am seeing some brown spots on leaves. Calcium or Mag deficiency I think? The soil is happy frog with ocean forest so I thought maybe it would be ok without adding calmag to the water. I started adding calmag and a bit of silica to toughen them up for the bugs and such.
Should I flush the pots or just steady as she goes with the calmag adjusting waterings? The newer growth is looking green. I have very limited experience with outdoor. Soil is not my friend :D
Things are growing as they should. I think the browning problem is resolved. I also dropped a malawai killer X panama seed. It might finish first week in November (going in a 10 gallon pot to keep it a little shorter)
So i cant leave anything alone. I will LST the main stalk in a circle and let it grow. I found a bag of coat hangers. Now i rememebr why i bought the silica
We just hit flower on one auto. Wow they do that quick. I would bet its the cheese and the amnesia has a couple of weeks to go before preflower. The photos will be ridiculous.
Stretching out now. And i will not nute anymore until they start needing it. A bit of burning going on thanks to the 1 tablespoon of gaia green per pot.
Happy Frog and Ocean Forest have enough juice to keep them growing.
RO water PHd at 6.5 to water and just a bit of calmag.
What do you think is up with the two autos? I think i added some old nutes that i shouldnt have used and now the rain has flushed it all out (2 days of rain).
I did some dead leaf defoliating. tap water was used for 2 weeks and it has been very hot and dry. The photos were fed a bit for veg and i will top them after they heal from the defoliation i have to do. Lots of dead leafs some of them black. Tap water is too high a ph and is locking out nutes but it rained last night. It should have flushed it out and we are back on track.
The tall one is 42 inches the short one is 34 inches. I was tempted to move them into the tent because they are going to be ridiculous if i let them go full term. But those pots are heavy. I might make a lower bench so that it can fit in my deck better.
The autos have a couple of weeks yet. In the 1 oz to 2 oz range if they harden up decently.
