Outdoor auto skunk soil test.

Been putting my happyfrog/perlite mix in my compost after 2runs.
The result is a rich black soil with almost no compaction. No soil test has been run and I should probably add some lime. Got 2 seedlings in my normal happy frog perlite mix and one in my compost. Got the top back on my hot box to control water intake, walls still down for the summer. It va so idk if I will need them come finishing time or not.

Been feeding them all synthetics for the first 2 resivours full. I'll start straight water in the compost pot after. Give her just a little salt right at transition time

I dont think pot size is a big factor as I have never harvested an auto the had its root ball fill a 3gal pot. The larger pot has a big pocket of straight perlite for easier root growth and the difference is noticeable 16947030768133230628738598171489.jpg
The compost pot is smaller but healthier then the one that I've been feeding synthetics. Most of the difference is size seems to be stretch bud on compost plant are thicker and fuller

Salt feed on left organic on right.
Salt fed is taller and has more plant but the flowers look so much better on the organic.
These girls are starting to stink

I think I already learned what I set out to on this grow.
The frame was free and not the best to to start with so now I have to obtain something better.
Still got plenty of 6mm plastic.
Mostly just pissed because this could have been avoid by both better design execution on my end or just simple attentiveness by one of the residents.
Low temp in the ten day is still mid 50s

All my time growing weed has been just such an adventure. The lessons just change LOL! You have a good attitude. You'll do well.
 
Well it was salvageable enough that I can keep the privacy screen up which is a legal requirement. It will not support roof or walls or rafters anymore if it has any weight or wind on it. The oak tree should be done throwing its pollen and most of the migratory birds have left.
Can't control water intake with the roof off so I guess I'll just top feed with some compost and collect some tea for the lady's that had been getting salt water. We'll have a nice big bonfire burn the mother down after harvest
 
None of these produced shit. About a quarter on each of the smaller ones maybe a 1/2 on the bigger one. Good sative smoke. Smells and taste like concentrated lemon juice. It is exponentially more lemony the my super lemon haze was.
 
A little damage was showing on lower leaves towards the end but none were found in the flower. Keeping them covered so the nugs don't saturate in the rain I firmly believe plays a big factor in both bugs and mold. Throw in this is in a subdivision with 1/8 acor lots, bugs have not been my biggest issue. I throw out some ladybug and lace wings before the start of the grow. The box got dosed in neem at the end of the previous grow. I assume I also have been very lucky. I mostly abandoned this grow when I started my new job, it was about the same time the frame buckeled. I can't see my self attempting an outdoor grow anytime soon. To many trees at my place and too busy to do it off site :( but I have a lot of ambitions for when those surcumstances change
