My 2024 Grow: 4 Inside/7 Outside

Well I should buy myself a lottery ticket soon, because I came this close to losing my outdoor grow today.


The water is starting to come down now but was over 3ft at one point. Thank god I use garbage cans for my grow, or I would have been fucked. Insurance companies now arguing who is paying what, because they said they need a crane to remove it over my neighbours houses behind us. It’s lying on 3 houses but across 5 yards.

Could you use a chainsaw, butcher it in situ and pack it out in primal chunks like hunters do with large game?

I think they might need to cut pieces at a time and lift it out over the houses one giant piece at a time with the crane. It’s a big fucking giant tree and a lot on that backend on the neighbours. Although my grow should hopefully take off with the added sunshine they’ll be getting now.

Looks like a huge, invasive, fast growing, short lived, Manitoba Maple.

Just the branches it sprouted this year, after being trimmed last year, were many and everywhere. My mom believes the tree is well over 60yrs with the maturity it was when she moved into the house 47yrs ago. We had a huge bunch trimmed back 2yrs ago and the neighbour‘s last year removed a giant branch that hung over the house to the left of the house above. The amount of rain and the winds that came with it, had everything blowing sideways. I was working but could hear the thunder in the middle of the store, but my sister said the rain was so bad that you couldn’t see 2ft in front of you.

Well to the dismay of my dogs, especially the new guy. The mini lake that was in my backyard has now receded enough for me to get some pics. So on Tuesday after the storm they brought in a crane to remove a good chunk of the tree that fell on the neighbours places. We still have a long limb, the stump and a broken fence in the backyard that we are still waiting on an insurance adjuster to come out. Cause on Tuesday when they were removing the tree, we got another shit ton of rain and Toronto flooded. So yesterday my mom got frustrated and we got ourselves a small pump late afternoon yesterday and got almost all of it out after roughly 5-6hrs with our garden house. The amount of dead bloated worms in the mucky as fuck water/yard I have now, is truly stunning. Their sacrifice and my plants being submerged in this compost tea, made them looking healthy as hell. :rip::goodjob:Can’t really do any training cause I keep sinking into the ground, the dogs follow and we’re trying to keep them as clean as possible. As we allow them on the furniture, but not when they’re like this and it’s hard with 2 of them. So anyways some overdue pics (some before water was almost completely removed) and crane shots of mostly before and after they removed the tree in small heavy as hell portions. You can see in the pics they left about 12-14’ stump and that long limb that is resting near the fence. Probably gonna need a crane when they finish removing our end. No idea why my iPhone pics keep doing this

Inside I have some leaf issues here and there, but overall all are looking pretty healthy. Probably just having issues with the ocean forest soil I dumped on them almost 2 weeks ago. I had to give everyone a real good drink, minus ATF with her stunted growth. They all probably grew 2 inches overnight with the drink they got, and DS and DC will probably need another tomorrow.

Minus my ATF, my girls in the tent are super thirsty. They’re growing nicely after every watering, and lately that’s been every 2 days. So I know I gotta defoilate my tent grow greatly, and so with a bowl of Malawi wand Killer A5 Haze I went plucking. I only did it to my Death Star and ATF but the others will soon follow. Holy Ahit were they ever sticky and I can see the frosting starting to form on many of 5e fan leaves I removed. I haven’t seen that happen on my grow since my first tent grow with Blue Cheese. I was like Clark Griswald afterwards, and was a pain in the ass to clean off. I also bought a small little fan that I think I’ll throwing in there in a week or so for extra airflow. So some tent pics, with a couple before and after their shaves.

Outside is still surviving nicely and I have defoilated everything but my Fat Bastard and White Gold. (Which I’m grateful for just living) I don’t have an after pic for my Cloud Walker but she had fucking huge fan leaves from the Jurassic period, but it sadly I did loose a bottom limb from the storms on her. I removed a fair amount from everyone, from fan leaves and smaller in growth nodes. So I’m hoping they stretch good in flowering and rewarded with chunky colas. So some pics of before(Sun) and today after their trim on Trop Cherry, Sleepy Joe, Slapz, MK Ultra x BubbleGum

Sorry I’m not updating as often as I think I should be. Monday they chopped the leftover bits of the tree that fell in the yard, to pieces and hauled them away today. They also lopped off a bunch off another big tree in our yard, and gave the guys some of my grow from last year. Gave them some on Monday with the bosses son saying he loved it, and was happy for more. They took a shit ton off the tree still standing ans I might of gained even more light in the 2nd half of this grow. I think outside is probably just in the midst of starting it’s flowering stage. Growth is becoming stacked near the top of the limbs. I wonder if I’ll get any crazy stretch like I did last year on my MAC and especially that Slurricane that nearly tripled during flowering. Also back into the really hot and humid weather, but no torrential rainfalls developing with the weather. They all got a good drink tonight and await the reward tomorrow. Sorry pics from yesterday so the show in posting

I defoilated these gals a week ago and they already look bushy as hell again. I might need to prune one more time, as I think I’m a week less into my flowering stage than I think with the extra half hour I had left on my timer. My Double Chocolate is growing big time and is roughly 28” all around. Getting some lite green colouring on my leaves but could be because of the rampant growth it’s been doing the past 5 days after that defoliation. I’ve plucked a few big fan leaves here and there tonight, but I think another deep pruning is needed again soon. Just starting to see the pistils showing here and there now, but ATF look like she’ll just stack all full colas on every stem with the way she’s looking. Not bad runt, not bad

We are into our flowering stretch outside BIG TIME! Measured them last week and were roughly 4-5f tall, with Slapz being the tallest. The past day or 2 they are probably gained another 6inches to a foot. With once Slapz, MK Ultra x Bubblegum and Cloud Walker really getting tall. Everything in the yard is now cleared, grounded down and fixed from that July storm. Now I have a ton more airflow and sunshine for this final stretch, but I just hope it’s drier as well.

So inside is stretching a bit more, as my lights weren’t 12/12 for the first 10 days of what I thought was flowering cycle. So the pistils are just starting to form, Death Star and Double Chocolate are 34” and 32” tall. Coco Melon is a giant ass bush and Alaskan Thunder Fuck just keeps impressing me from the we runt she was to the beauty she is today. Looking to add a smaller fan to get airflow going below the dense canopy I have going

Been a bit but GUESS WHO’S TENT WASN’T IN FLOWER MODE and now is in 11/13 mode to help speed things up. Now my tallest plants were 3 feet tall and wonder if another stretch is gonna happen. Some health issues occurred because of my timer problems, some dried Sea Kelp was added to the recent watering and seem to help a bit. So some overdue pics

Outside has exploded since last posting but having a WPM issue with my Sleepy Joe and Trop Cherry plant. So I went out tonight and gave them good sprits of a water/milk combo and went heavy on the 2 plants. As a precaution I also went ahead and sprayed the outside of everyone else. Gonna need a watering, which will hopefully come with tonight’s storms. Fat Bastard is looking wonderful and probably half way done now, as everyone is well behind her development wise. Well I guess you can see that for yourselves

Been a bit since my last update and so let’s start in the tent where buds are developing nicely and can thankfully say they have finished stretching. Getting a lovely colour coming in on my Coco Melon with some purple coming out in the buds and the smell is getting lovely sweet. All of them are looking frosty and smell has for sure increased as well. I have also bought myself some Monopotassium Phosphate (0-52-34) and have just done a watering a couple days ago with it as a top dressing. Finding top dressing my soil (not mixing it with the watering) has really kept the plants in a healthier place and the frosty looking buds being proof to my eyes at least.

My outdoor gals are getting thicker but I’m getting worried. We are getting unusual warm and muggy days, no breeze at night and fog. So wpm is showing its ugly head on Sleepy Joe and removed a bunch of lower branches that wouldn’t produce much (or were really covered in wpm) Her issue seems to be a little better since I did that 3 nights ago, but Fat Bastard is really getting hit hard. I removed a couple of buds because they were covered in it and were small anyways. They are creeping close to other big buds on her and did a milk/water spray last night. Seem to help a bit because the issue wasn’t nearly as bad looking tonight. I’m hoping I can stretch her one more week but I’m pretty sure I might take her down next Monday. (not this Monday) I also gave them each 5 Wendy’s chili spoonful of what I like to refer to the bag of plant cocaine 5 days ago, and plants looked happy. Gave them a bit more tonight as they were a bit light in moisture and all got a good watering. Funny enough, I have given it to my mom’s tomato plants which she was ready to give up on a few weeks ago. SeaK powder turn them around and not the plant cocaine have them ripening faster for her. Making great tomato sauce out of them, and holy fuck are the Brown Sugar Tomatoes we grew are amazing. Back to everything else, my Cloud Walker really yellowed on me and the reason for the cocaine being brought in and seems to be righting the ship. Removed a lot of fan leaves that yellowed hard on me but seems to be looking greener after her first sniff. Should be interesting to see what she does over the next couple of days. Slapz is changing leaf colour here and there, but nothing bud wise yet. Oh and yeah I will eventually measure them again, I swear.
