Hi Guys,

Been growing for many years but I'm new to the online community. This is my first thread I figure I might as well start contributing. Im about 5 miles from the beach in the Huntington Beach area of Orange County, CA. One of the best things about being by the beach in OC is the year round weather. Climate zone 10A close enough to the beach so that the nights don't freeze which allows me to grow plants year round. Along with being able to grow Bananas and Pineapples I can also flower buds during the coldest months. Daytime temps in the 60s/70s and nighttime temps in the 40s/50s. I started this girl in my indoor grow tent late summer and really spent time topping the shit out of her. Got her bushed out pretty good. I transplanted her into a 5 gallon fabric pot and also got her in the metal trellis cage. Did some defoliating and stripped some water leaves. Put her on the South facing side of the property to catch the most Sun. She has been outside for about 2 weeks now and is really starting to stretch. 2nd week of flower. Should finish at about 5ft tall. I will be updating this thread as she starts to put on weight this is an excellent phenotype very vigorous and looks most similar to the badass clone that the seeds came from. S1 seeds pulled from a very hot and skunky Fire OG. Late 2000s cultivar with a very formidable scent. Stings the nostrils!!! LOL

OK first legit flowering update. Not exactly sure how many days in we are now I forgot the day I put her on the patio but here she is. Going full stretch OG BEAST MODE now! She is gonna be squat and fat little monster. This phenotype seems to have really tight inter-nodal spacing gonna be nice colas coming. Love the winter outdoor probably my favorite time of the endless Socal grow season. Makes for great colors too!

Also I was finally able to get my Auto Water Drip System set back up. The move into our new house has been crazy last few weeks I have been using a bucket and manually pitching water out of my 110 gallon aquarium in order to water the plants. BTW I only use aquarium water its much better than municipal tap water. Super clean all trace metals and chlorides are naturally removed. Anyways, I hooked up the inlet line with the water filtration system. Dripping about 30 gallons a day through the aquarium and collecting it in this large 40 gallon plastic water reservoir. Got the overflow pipe running and ran the exit pipping along my wall and punched it through the stucco. Im stoked finally its dripping and the flow rate has been calibrated. From here on my plant maintenance is pretty easy I do nothing and let the auto pump feed/water the plants every day. You can see the water dripping from my exit line. First whole punched with my mason bit and of course it was a stud LOL . Moved an inch over to the left and were all good!

Happy New year everyone! Quick update on the Fire OG grow everything is developing nicely. I had a little scare a handful of days back. We had rain in the forecast and I made a mental note to remember to pull the plant under the patio cover. Unfortunately I fell asleep and forgot but was woke up at 6am to the sound of a downpour unleashing. Had to run outside and mover her but man she was totally soaked. Like you hit the plant with a garden hose. the entire plant and all branches were laying down and the water weight even bent the metal wire trellis. I was super bummed. Fortunately I was able to drag her in the house and I hit her very gently with a blow dryer on low temperature setting. I made sure to keep it plenty far away so as not to burn the leaves but I was able to slowly dry her out. I used some bamboo sticks and wire and after a few days in the sun she has fully lifted back up. I got very lucky that none of the branches snapped under the weight they were all flexible enough to bend all the way down. Here are some pics of her on New Years Day. Nice weather today in SoCal its dry and sunny with a high of 68 and a lows in the 40s.

Ok fellas this will likely be the last living pic of her she is all finished. I will be chopping her down and hanging her in the next few days. This phenotype is by far the stinkiest rudest one that has come out of this seed run yet. Made these seeds years back and they are all great this pheno is the one. I can smell it seeping through the walls when Im sitting on the couch in the living room. I grow a lot of plants on my patio but its petty rare I smell them inside when my patio slider is closed LOL

Great news also I took some Hail Mary flower cuts of her and out of a handful I was able to get 1 lucky one to re-veg. Looks like I was able to save her! Its game on Im gonna run this cut indoors under my new Scorpion Diablo board its gonna be even hotter than the outdoor I cant wait!
