passports first outdoor grow SuperSilverHaze

[passport]

I don't know if this qualifies as a diary, but I thought I'd post up these images and a little about the grow. I'm growing Super Silver Haze and Anunnaki from clones in bright and beautiful SoCal. Both plants were put outside straight away on May 30 Grow medium in Foxfarm Ocean, with about 2 inches of perlite on the bottom of the planter. Feeding started with Foxfarm Growbig and Liquid Karma while vegging and switched to Bigbloom, Liquid Karma, and MOAB when she started flowering. 1 day pure water, 1 day nutrients through its whole life. When harvest time came I flushed it with 5 gallons of water plus cleanser plus 1 tablespoon brown suger per gallon once a day for 3 days. I had a permasmile on my face trimming this plant, I could only be happier if I had more. Yield will be posted but you get the idea. This plant grew very well, very strong, and I didn't have any problems with root rot, fungus, bugs, whatever...beginners luck :rock

Much respect to whoever bred this plant, I picked up the clone in the LBC and am very satisfied with the genetics. Annunaki is flowering slower than the SSH, but I see many more buds and alot more plant...

excellent pics! thanks for sharing.

Thanks SenorMota, I'm looking forward to the next grow. This was a very easy growing plant and with the help of my partner it was a success.

 

[hererisssh]

Nice work passport, this def qualifies. Enjoy.

Thanks hererissh, I'm amazed at how much more fuller, heavier, the buds are compared to my indoor grow. I grew one SSH clone inside and the other outside and overall as far as development, the outdoor plant grew fat calyxes and much, much more bud than the indoor. Makes me wanna stay outside :yes

 

[hererisssh]

beauty of socal, that that's even possible. seems like it finished pretty early outdoors, how long did it go inside?

 

[Resinator]

Very nice plants and garden you have.
You are lucky to be able to grow outdoors. Gratz

herrerisssh, the plants went straight from the clone source to the yard. May 30 was the day we bought the clones, put them outside and cut them down Sept 2.

Thanks Resinator, I am very fortunate to have found this spot to grow. Next year we want to put down 6 plants in the yard. We'll landscape to seriously camo with fragrant and similar looking plants just in case the 8 foot walls don't keep the neighbors from peeping over.

How many gramms of dry SSH do you have! :smoke

 

[passport]

Geronimo, I'm scaling it tonight I'm hoping 10 oz...I'll post up pics tomorrow.

 

[passport]

Well, I haven't posted the pics but we got 4oz from the plant.

 

[hererisssh]

great haul, congrats

 

[passport]

thanks hererisssh, now I have a good idea what I can expect from that plant. My indoor 400w Double Gum only gave me 1 oz per plant and the Top 44 about the same.

 

[hererisssh]

yeah man smaller plants indoor, less density too. I don't know double bubble but top 44's all about the fast finish. Gotta veg the indica dom's out for a long time to get the big yields. Bigger lamps do better with density but when you're only growing for the head it's a bit much. I went back to the 400 a couple years ago and that's where I'm staying until LEDs are really competitive in price.

1oz from an indica dom plant in a 1-2 gallon pot indoors is fine. Get it dialed and you'll get more like 2-3 per with right veg length and nute schedule. Sticking with the same strain really helps get the yield large too. There's no real substitution for the sun though. A most gratifying hobby nonetheless.

I agree, my next grow will be from seed and hopefully I'll have a good example from the lot. Jamaican Pearl and Skunk #9 will go outside next year, LA Confidential, Recon, Greenhouse cheese will be the next indoor grow and I intend to keep 1 mother from each strain.
