My first outdoor grow diary Mango Haze

[SchwiftyGrower]

Day 34 Flower -

Temp: 75
Humidity: 50%

Watering day
1/2 gallon water 1 tsp calmag
pH 6.7

Filling in great and the frost is really building up! I’m getting a lot more trich buildup this go around since the temps and humidity are within range versus being outside. Hoping another 4 weeks and we should be good to chop for the New Years!

Day 36 flower-

The difference is staggering between the progression in this flower session. Already thicker during this same time with double the trich coverage! So far so good

Day 39 flower

Watered only no nutrients at all, I waited until they were droopy af. I will give it once last nutrient feeding next time and then we shall see where we are regarding finishing. I am going to give water only for the last 2 weeks.

Day 42 Flower-

Well well….6 weeks already! Crazy, this is about the length I chopped last time. No way I’m doing that again…I’d say I have at least 3 weeks, maybe 4 left?

I know with these weaker LEDs my weight is going to be laughable but I’m pretty happy with how they look.

Looking good Schwifty, quality over quantity man! You grew that shit, and that just makes it taste better!

Hell yeah thanks man!!! So far I’d say the quality is much better this run thankful that spider I had was a one off

looking good manhave you heard of letting the plants without water for 2 days in total darkness just before harvest? seems to help her put that last ditch effort into frosting up the buds . just my 2cents

Thanks brother much appreciate it!! Yeah back in the day I’ve tried that and a few other tricks, I’ve tried and experimented on a couple of harvests over a decade ago and I personally didn’t see any big difference. I think as more science and research is done, things like this will be brought into the light to 100% confirm the validity and I’d be intrigued to know the results. But based off my “bro” results, I haven’t seen any difference. I used to also be a religious flusher, but after recent studies it shows that it’s not beneficial to do so. I can’t wait for more science research to be done all across the board regarding cultivating, medicine and mental benefits! Thanks again for stopping by and commenting!

Day 47 flower-

Almost at 7 weeks and starting to put on some weight. I’ll keep an eye out for any issues but I think so far so good! Smell is amazing, the flowers are sticky as hell. I separated the branches a bit to help with better airflow. Couple weeks left!!

Day 49 flower -

Estimated 14 more days until chop if pistils are receding and trich colors look good.

Right now I couldn’t be happier with how this run has turned out. Bud formation and thickness is much better this go around and the smell is so much better! Really shocked with these 2 cheap quantum boards, they need to be inches away but it’s worked out!

Day 52 Flower- 11 days before chop

Water day
3/4 gallon with 1/4 tsp Cha-ching

Cutting back on nutrients and adding the finisher nutrient for the last week and a half, maybe one watering left she’s drinking at a slower pace now.

Buds are feeling denser than I expected and no visual signs of mildew or issues and the smell is like sweet candy, I love it! Happy growing everyone

Looking great Schwifty! Going to be a great Christmas.

Hell yeah brother!! Chop day is set for the 23rd unless it seems like she could go longer. Since this was a bagseed from a mango haze strain I was smoking, I’m not 100% sure of the flower time. Last time I barely made it 7 weeks and the high was more anxious than anything. Right now I’m looking at the trichs and seeing mostly cloudy with some clear so I’m around the same as last harvest. I’m going to check on the 23rd and if she’s swollen with around 10% amber she’s getting chopped. Otherwise I will wait because I’m not having another early chop again….nope nope nope!

Also I will be Bud washing as it’s in an exposed environment that gets dust, and a good amount of cat hair from my damn clothes lol! When I go to my tent I’m basically naked to prevent this shit but this one I have no choice but to wash it.

Day 56 Flower - 8 week flower

8 more days until chop, I’m going to test the 9 week flower time. I still have 4 more seeds that I may grow at a later time and extend the flower time if needed. Right now I’m very happy with chopping at 9 weeks based off the trichomes currently.

Also, I just purchased 15 gallons of RO water that I’ll be using for the bud washing. As much as I’d like to whole plant hang and dry this, I don’t have that luxury. So I’ll separate into branches, wash using the 3 step process of 1 5 gallon bucket of 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup fresh lemon juice and then 2 5 gallon buckets of room temp RO to complete the wash. I don’t have the luxury of getting my AC in time and right now my max temps get around 72 and humidity I can get around 50-60% so I will just have to work with what I got.

I’ll check back in when I chop her down and I will document the washing process! Happy growing everyone!

They looking frosty schwifty. Its weird how different strains ripen differently. To me that looks like its got three or so weeks yet. This is my goblin god. On the 24th will be 8 weeks in flower. The breeder says 60-65 days. No matter what, we are close!

Absolutely man, I wouldn’t doubt this could go another 3 weeks. Flowering time for most hazes are 9-13 weeks. I am shocked to see one of the colas so heavy it’s about to break, so I had to give her some more support. I really would love to go longer with her but I’m all out of GH nutes and I really need to repurpose these lights to get my next veg cycle going. I think I’m going to grow this strain out one more time when I get a 2x2 and grow one really big one and go 12+ weeks.

Your GG looks so damn good man, you’ve treated those girls with such love and they’ll return the favor for you!! It’s going to be a great upcoming holiday for us brother!

Day 63- I’m chopping tomorrow morning, I walked in today and found 4 white flys. So I’m done with this, Bud washing it and calling it. Need to clean this space heavily and get prepped for my next grow!

White flies? Aphids?

White flies? Aphids?

tomato tomato but pretty sure there is a difference between the two. These are almost moth like and are sap suckers. I could get sticky traps but I’m kind of done with this grow and ready to start my 3rd journal
