Outdoor grow in Southeast Michigan 2024

[cpurola]

Some males in there I expect but should be a good year.

It doesn't take a lot of the Lucky 13's to get a good crop.

Good to know.
These poor plants have been abused, so it will be interesting to see if I get the 50/50 they predict.

And mostly I'm looking for resistant/resiliant plants that will last through our fall weather.
I hate losing whole plants to disease/mold. I'm sensitive to it, so I won't keep anything suspect.

Have you decided on strains for this year?

Lovely setup. Gonna pull up a chair if I’m not too late. Dig me some big outdoor girls. Best of luck! Cheers

I'll grow in pots and do an inside/ outside with the 3 plants I'm keeping.

Top Back right - Hawaiian God, a special cross of Hawaiian Puff x God Bud. Older by a week or 2 than most in the tent. Growing to the God side of the genetics.
Middle right - last one planted, Peanut Butter OG
Bottom Front right - Dirty Dancing, as old as the Hawaiian. More sativa. Gave more food today with the whole dark green center of leaf and yellowish edges.

The rest of the plants are gifts I'm starting for people.

In front of heater on left - Hash plant from Lucky13. Very sativa but supposed to finish outside in September.
The 4 others on the left are 2 Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet and 2 Blood, Milk and Sky.

All plants topped once now except the Peanut Butter.

You should get better than 50/50 female. On the Lucky13 site I've seen 60/40 some where. You won't need to worry about Frostberry finishing. They finish fast with some regular colored bud and some purple. Super impressive as outdoor plants!

They look fantastic! Did you get any males?

Thanks. That shot was about an hour ago so it will be a while before I find out what the gender is.

The front 2 plants in the pic below are Frostberry with Okanogan Grape behind them. The purple Frostberry was something to look at.

Okay, so I transplanted 80% of my plants today. I ran out of gallon pots, so I'll finish tomorrow, if it doesn't rain.
I'm leary about leaving them all in the greenhouse so I'll bring them in once they stop dripping.
I've 17 more to transplant. Ohhh, my aching back!

Oh, and they really needed it!

I’m in the middle of the same thing, I’m also running low on 1g pots. Gonna have to get another 50 pack…..looks great homie! It’s a pain having to pick and choose which plants need it more when running low…..wifey snagged a stack

 

[cpurola]

Finished transplanting all into 1 gallon pots and it was such a BEAUTIFUL day, I took them outside for the afternoon.
(And my back said, NO MORE!) I admit I am a little over my limit of 12 plants. Shhhh don't tell anyone.

I only see 6

 

[cannafarmer420]

Which is why I started so many, so early. Supposedly at 2 months I can identify the boys/girls. Well, it's been 1 month and I'm getting nervous about leaving them in the 4" pots. I may have to transplant into gallon containers before they show.
Oldchucky is right, gonna get crowded in there.

Moved a tray and a friendly house spider appeared. Not relocating her/him, saw a gnat yesterday.

Similar little guy

 

[Otto Bonn]

It’s a wolf spider.
I try to live in harmony with them.
Jumpy little shits. Def be careful. They will generally mind their business but if you come Willy nilly into their space. Bet they will try to liquify a body part. Good to have around if you aren’t scared of them.

I worked at a retention pond one day and was bitten on the arm, within an hour I was dizzy and sweating profusely. Went home and when I woke up it was horrible. I had one ass cheek the size of a basketball, my arm and my neck blew up at the hospital and felt like it they were going to burst like a balloon. I'm glad I didn't have any lasting affects though, 2 days later I was back to work.

I've started a flat of these for some friend's outdoor grow. I'll keep one myself. Its a solid producer and finishes quick and it's also mold resistant.

Love all those youngsters lined up and ready to go!

Update:
Lost one, will do a post mortem later. Count at 59 now.
Had to move all into the greenhouse. Temps outside are staying in the 40-50 range during the day, and 30-40s at night.
Wednesday they predict 29!

 

[cpurola]

Temp dropped to 31 last night.
I left the little ones outside and they did not look happy this morning.
The Frost Berry looked sad yesterday so I put them in the greenhouse. It doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Pots are heavy and don't need water. Hmmm.

 

[Oldchucky]

Hopefully just need a little sun to reach for!

Yep, it's supposed to be 60 and sunny today.
At least they're still alive.

 

[Oldchucky]

Cpurrrrs Very own little drama! The grass menagerie! Tennessee Williams would be proud!

 

[cpurola]

And now, back into the greenhouse.
They're predicting rain and I'm thinking it's possible the pots are TOO wet 'cause we've had rain every 2-3 days.
And tomorrow night, freezing again. By the weekend temps are up to the mid 70s!
This is exhausting.

That’s a pia.
You have any easy ups?
