OctoberDee · Jul 8, 2014

This is just to post some shots of my outdoor plants, I started one for Sour LSD so i'll just post the others here. I have a SoHum Swiss Tsu, Chemo and a bagseed OG, I also just put out a Lemon Alien Dawg, a Girl Scout Candy, and a Rebel Soul which is my little cross. Thanks for checking 'em out.

A Canna Tsu I just put out, she's a little pissed cause I only put her outside for about four days then in ground.

Some nugs growing in on the OG. All of the plants I'm showing were inside plants that I just ran out of room for. This OG was put outside about 4 weeks ago and pretty much just started flowering.

Girl Scout Candy from BirdDawg, she was a little beat from the heat and mites but looks like she'll come around.

Rebel Soul, I've never put one of these outside but she was only exposed to the sun for like 2 days and the sun is strong down here at the 34th parallel north, I was thinking she would burn but she's cool.

Swiss Tsu close ups.

Some Super Silver Haze I'm hardening off. I told my little homie they were his but if he don't hurry they're getting plopped in. These things will get huge in my yard, about 10 feet easy. They're only like 3/4 of a foot right now. These are also stressed so I gotta work em quick. I'm giving dude like 3 more days... maybe 2

Hey CGK, I'm outside!!! Thanks for looking, your shit is always upper echelon so I can't fuck with that but I'll try to do you proud. Yea that's a re-veg thought I'd give her some play.

Thanks NB, and yes to address the bad lookin soil, it looks harsh because it's pretty much never been worked. I dug down about 2-3 feet and filled up the holes with some super strong soil and perlite then halfed it with this river bed soil I have in my yard. There was nothing planted in my yard before except wild grass and weeds. I'll mulch though, sounds like a good idea. Thanks again guys!!:)

I like how you have them planted in amongst other garden plants.

Get a nice thick mulch layer going like other have said. It'll keep in moisture, add organic material and lead to a much livelier soil! If you keep at it, in a few years, it'll look FAR better than it currently does.

The Swiss Tsu is formally flowering, she's gonna produce. She's short but her branches reach out and they are stacking really nicely. They don't have mulch because my dogs like to eat it, that's not really too good so I'll have to figure that out.

OG Kush, she's pretty amazing outside, I had this clone inside and it was getting attacked by mites and even worms but outside she's a SuperStar. Too bad it only grew to about a foot and a half. Next year I'll plant a seed of it outside instead of a clone.

The Super Silver Hazes I ended up planting, the homie never came to get them. His loss...

This one has a little friend in flower.

There's one more SSH but I forgot to take a pic but you get the idea. They should be ready around Christmas probably, I hope earlier though.
Here's the Canna Tsu bouncing back

Mulch, mulch--
water, water...

OctoberDee · Jul 21, 2014

I deep water every other day and I got some mulch but my dogs like to dig it out and eat it so I decided to not do that for now. The dogs like to take the mulch and it eat in their bed, which is also my bed:arghh:

geologic · Jul 21, 2014

Looks like one of 'em--
rubs it in his hair...

OctoberDee · Jul 21, 2014

<----LoL! Do I have a hair out of place?

<cough>cover crops<coughcough>

That soil looks a lot like what my folks were on, and if it is, it's actually pretty damn good growing soil.

Did you see my Sour LSD thread? https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/sour-lsd.64540/
I have it planted amongst other garden plants and herbs. It has basically over grown and has covered all the other plants, it has now taken over the felloja tree I have planted next to it. My yard is like a desert and the drought isn't helping so anything to keep the water use low and central to the roots of the plants helps. The OG has some tomatillos growing at the base of it. Everyone says mulch, cover plants is a good idea, any suggestions for hot and dry.. I have some gazanias growing randomly and it's pretty inexpensive, I can use that and get some pretty flowers going. What you think SM?

Fenugreek and chia are working great for me right now. When it's warm fenugreek will sprout in 2-3 days! I like all the rock mulch you're using. Use what grows if you already have it. I decided I wanted more edibles in my cover crops this year. The coriander and mustards failed to sprout for me, though.

OctoberDee · Jul 23, 2014

Those are great suggestions, I didn't really think about chia or fenugreek, I'll have to find some. I found all those rocks in my yard. I just rake the dirt and the rocks appear endlessly.

OctoberDee · Jul 23, 2014

I made some mulch from the avocado leaves, sticks and grass I scooped from around the yard, I threw in a little of the store bought mulch. There was a lot of dirt in the pile I raked up so I used a ground cover flat to strain out more crushed leaf and sticks.

The SSHs are taking off nicely, I'm sure they'll be very obvious come September but for now they're small and hidden, this one looks like a sucker next to my peach tree. There's mulch around it now BTW.
