Outdoor grow '13

[puck1969]

Well the move is done!!! Seems there was an area that I didn't think I could get to. I couldn't take pic's the day of the move 'cause I was too busy racing home to clean out my shorts! That was insane!! It was the most horrendous gut churning thrill ride I have ever been on. Every leaf rustle, bird chirp and gust of wind were the cop's descending on my site to bust me. MUCH PROPS to the people that have had to do that before. As you can see when I went back the next day they were already recovering from getting whacked by branches etc. I had to put the ubiquitous fan leaf picture but I figure they are the power plants for the girls so they deserve some camera time. They are stretching some but that will help with airflow when flowering. The LSD's fan leaves are the large ones and they are good and green. Well, I'll be posting again after July 4th with pic's but I am still mentally recovering. This old Masshole needs a nap!

Thanks Blunt Ed things are poppin' pretty good since the warm up. I expect like last year they will be reaching for the sky for another week or so and then start to branch out.

Well, went out anyway 'cause I had to put the 2 NLblue's out there and I am afraid I have another flowering plant. This is one of the LSD's that I put out... I hope to hell it doesn't hermie on me! I don't know if I should just chop it now or wait.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! Well, checked on the garden today after day's and day's of rain. As expected the LSD is branching out nicely as seen in the 4th picture. The LSD that was flowering is still doing so, could it be some kind of auto? I cracked it May 28th. I added a pic of one of the NLBlue's I put out, who knows what I'll get out of them. I have been wanting to grow that variety for a while so whatever I can get it I am excited to try it. Well I am off to enjoy fireworks and celebrate our country's birthday. Be safe this weekend friends, KEEP GROWIN'

Enter button not working so hot so bear with me! First off, the sad news is I rolled my last j with last years harvest... I need to start buying weed againAnyhoo, this is the update for the week. First 2 pic's are an LSD that may have a borer or was damaged in the epic move. I guess that's why it's flowering in the first pic. and #2 is the picture of the damage. Notice how red the stem is! Anyone have info on any borers attacking mj? Next pic. is the tallest LSD (it's 6.5 feet tall) far too tall for me to keep an eye on the top without bending it. Pic 4 is one of my NLblue's that is starting to look like crap, I don't know what's going on with this one. Any help would be appreciated on that one. Pic 5 is the other NLblue that's doing well, seems to be stretching and I may get some useable bud from it. Last pic. is the Delicious seeds cheese and if I had it all to do again I would top ALL of them so they looked like that. Looks like she is gonna produce! I am losing a few of the lower fan leaves but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything. Well, thanks for stopping by to my little corner of Rollitup!

Looking nice except for the purplish one. Ive only had a borer once that I knew about. it looked like a slit or gash almost like yours and I was so confused about it I cut off the top of the plant and saw this big bug. Im pretty sure it was a caterpillar and not a beetle.(foggy memory) at first I thought it was damage from being bent but found out it wasn't. if it is a borer I would just be worried about it laying eggs and being a bigger problem next year. ///my enter button hasn't been working for a while too. don't know why but its been like that for a while.

Thanks, my enter button hasn't been working either. I think it's some sort of bug in the system... LOL no pun intended.

The enter button issue has to do with internet explorer, try google chrome or firefox.

Hey, pm me if you want a patient card ... when you had your plants in last place albiet a worker seen them and tossed some branches on em so he could get them later on for himself. Cool you found another spot. Also, im from RI we had shitty ass rain for awhile now and my plants stayed inside under florencent light so they didnt grow at all. Waste almost 2 weeks growth.

 

[puck1969]

Ya, now it's satans asscrack hot! FUCKIN' WOULD'T YOU KNOW IT. NOW IT'S DEER!!! I got out of my vehicle and I see deer prints everywhere. I go to my plants and one of the NLblue's has all it's fan leaves chewed off. Will this fuckin' year get any easier? Time to get the stakes together, bunch the mutherfuckers up and stake/fishing line around the plot. Then I was thinkin about getting a bunch of blackpowder together and make some MUTHER FUCKIN' LANDMINES.... Pictures and tears to follow...

We are definitely struggling with the heat! As you can see, even watering every other day is not keeping up with the need. I am losing some bottom fan leaves but it could have been worse. I guess the next step is to dig holes into the ground and stick the buckets into them to keep them out of the sun. That should make the water last a little longer. As far as the deer it seems something drove a group into my area but they didn't stay long thank god. Just the one NLblue lost it's fan leaves but as you can see it's pushing out some new growth. The one stressed LSD is still flowering and all 3 of them with the buckets are 7' tall so the bud shot is from one of the lower branches. I started to do some flower fert's today with nitrogen in a 1-2-1 ratio but not full strength. I would like any opinions about digging holes other than you should have put them in the ground in the first place asshole! LOL HAPPY GROWING!!!

you could place them into bigger containers then bury with soil. That would keep the plastic they are in now cool and retain moisture longer.

I also have had good luck with straw as a mulch/ sunblock.

It's a good idea but it's just a little late in the season. They are already showing pre flowers and I expect they will be flowering by 1st week of Aug. I need to be a little more decisive when things get a little root bound and re pot, not just see how it goes.

 

[Garden Boss]

Not transplant... Stick your pot in another pot without removing container.

It will act like a "beer coozie" and insulate your containers.

Good call, not sure which one is more suspicious. Taking a shovel into the woods or the containers.

 

[Garden Boss]

True, lol I don't know what I would do about that... Maybe "Ninja Midnight" mode? Happy Growing.
