Outdoor Florida Grow 2014

Hello everyone and welcome to my adventure!

Strains:
2 Humblodt Seed Org. Blue Dream (fem)
1 HSO Blue Dream (auto)
2 Emerald Triangle Grapefruit Krush (fem)
2 Emerald Triangle Sour Puss (reg)
2 Emerald Triangle O.G. Critical (reg)
1 T.H. seeds Origional Bubblegum (fem)
1 Dinafem Seeds Critical Cheese (fem)
1 Cali Connection "22" which is Jack Herrer

Getting kind of a late start as the last frost here was over two months ago here in Fl
should be absolutely fine with 2 or so months of veg before mid august

I will try to stay as organic as possible using mostly AACT's
I have all the Composted horse manure I will ever need
(Anybody know what separates a Fungal dominated tea from a bacterial one?)



Also i took a trip to Ace hardwear today and picked up some organic staples:

-Super Humic (Humic,Sea Kelp,Fish Emulsion,Nitrogen(Urea)
-Epsoma Blood meal
-Epsoma Bone meal
-Dolomite Lime
-Blackstrap Molasses

(WHAT SHOULD I ADD TO THIS LIST??)


All of the seeds have popped and are awaiting their sprouting as of 5/18/2014

Starting them in 1 gallon pots (Starting off with 12 plants)
Ace didnt have much of a soil selection but they did have Black Gold Natural&Organic (0.05-0-0 wtf?) so that will do for now

5/17
I mixed up my quality composted horse manure in a roughly 1:3 ratio with the soil only and filled up my planter pots and gave them a water
I went out to my site and started on my holes which I will transplanting most of them into
dug roughly the size of a five gallon bucket for each one. (Welcome to Florida the top layer was sand and the rest was clay)
at the bottom of each hole I sprinkled a layer of Bone meal, Blood meal, and Lime
each hole got 2 gallons of horse manure and mixed it all into the clay really good
This way by the time the roots grow through my bagged soil they will have a nice reserve of ready nutrients in late bloom (less teas)
Also wanted to get the bone and blood meal in there to see if any animals would come and check it out


I will get some pictures up tomorrow for anyone interested in some visuals

cool. I'll be watching your OG Critical. thanks for posting!

Alright so the camera I will be using through out the grow has an accurate date and time so that should make things a little easier.

made a trip to a hydro store and bought:

VermaPlex Organic Microbial soil inoculant
Roots Organic Seabird guano (0-12-0)
Royal gold Mendo mix
Botnoicares Slacker mix

Id say most of the plants sprouted the 23rd of may making this posting the 6th day of life
Everything starts off slow so i will update every other day or so

I wish you luck.

Road workers were surveying the land plots on MY PLOT yesterday
got all the plants inside my fence but I did hear one of the workers say "I was walkin'..... N deres a hole!"
luckily we got a heavy rain and it washed all of my footprints away.

So one, the guy couldn't put two and two together and nothing comes of it
two, police come for a talk
Or three, I have a very disappointing thread at the end of the year with a ripped crop

All in all im not too worried. he proceeded to talk about Aunt Betsy and other mumbo jumbo so I don't think his mind was too focused on my perfect hole

Security/Conceal:
Out here in the country if someone catches you on their land they arent asking any questions.
Hell, they probably wont even check to see if they hit ya.
Its more of a you mind your business I mind mine and the grass will continue to grow kind of policy ( punny )

I have a roomate of lesser determination than I do to grow weed. They have their reggie bagseed in an easier to get to spot (still very close)
My idea is that if they tell anyone they have plants back here someone trying to rip them will only find their plants and mine will stay nice and safe.

we are on a 10 acre lot with quite a bit of privacy so no one that isnt welcome is coming up this driveway.

okay things are picking up and I will start posting more pictures

Today June 11th marks around 20 days for the bigger ones. Originally started 12. A few died due to different mishaps so I decided to sprout the rest of the seeds I had. 1 grapefruit, 1 blue dream, and 2 unsexed jack herers. Making my total plant count 13 genetics and 1 bagseed plant I adopted

Here are some growth pictures, 11 days apart:

Sour Puss (like an infection, Puss.)



O.G. Critical



Grapefruit Krush




Blue Dream



Blue Dream Autoflower (Flowering! id say it started June 10th)



Didnt find a seedling picture of the Jack Herer "22" but I did not expect it to take off like it did!

Jack Herer

Went out to my plants around 11 O'clock tonight and gave them a foilar spray with my new 10$ hand pump and Microbe juice

Blue Dream auto if anyone cares

Lucky, I used to grow outside in Florida and it was glorious. Too cold where I live now and season too short

Just got back from 5 days of work away from home! They all made it despite being dry as a bone. no wilting though.

Around the one month mark for the bigger ones.

Surprised no one is interested in my auto flower blue dream. I've looked everywhere for someone growing it and couldn't even find one!
The Auto has been flowering for 11 days and buds are ripping out of this thing
So happy with the rate this thing is able to grow.

Its sitting in a big horse pasture getting 10 hours of sun a day! When its not raining that is
And it does a lot of that here!

How long did it take for the auto to go from seed to flower?

17 to 18 days! its got nice branching which the picture doesnt show but its growing while budding. I was afraid it started too soon at first

I've always written autos off as lame, but it just occurred to me that I could actually grow outdoors in my short season using autos. I always assumed autos were for people who didn't want to fuck around with 12/12. I literally never gave them a second though until just this second.

Updates ?
