Summer Outdoor 2022- Lemon Tree

5/5 made the jump. Going to let the roots build then transfer pot size.

Dosed with Grow Big and Recharge this week. Drinking moderately well. Watering every day. Fert 2x a week. Strong drinkers!

A1-A5. In various stages of growth. All drink pretty heavy. What a lovely bunch of coconuts!!!

All 5 into the ground. They were showing signs of root stress. Should be good in a couple days. I expect these to shoot up in no time.

Only 1 is not pictured, the runt was dug up by a native critter and chewed on a bit. Hopefully it makes it. It shows completely different traits than all the others, very indica heavy in appearance and branching. The other 4 are hybrids or lean into sativa dominant. Was able to pull a vine response from 2 and just good branch shooting from all 5 honestly. I’m really excited about these guys. Also bending A5 into a heart knot project for a gemstone necklace. We will see how it comes out. Rainwater and plenty of sun.

Lots of rain and cooler temps. Slugs and more slugs. Lots of pins to go around, coming along nicely. Seablast and recharge on heavy, especially with all the rain.

Lemon Tree A1-A5. All could be doing better. Not sure on the location getting a full days for a few of these. I’m pretty sure the small guy keeps getting peed on by something. Training is starting to take a good hold on them though.

These are coming along really well. Multiple plants have pushed dominance around resulting in several great looking branches. The weather has also been very conductive for strong growth. Just continue the pin down and spread the branches to control growth. I am starting to FIM the larger branches to continue the training. Pulling low and partial leaves and a strong feeding this week. All of these really appear to have a good hybrid leaning body style.

4/5- continued pin work has led to the exact body styles I’m looking for. These are in the process of exploding after the prep work. Eating and drinking everything they can. Growth has been great. Some have more leg than others but it seems I’ve hit several like phenos. 1/5- she’s still growing, small but picking up the pace. I topped her to push for branch development. Weather has been great except no rain. These babies are making me smile.

Growth has been great. Branches shooting along the horizontal spine should begin to build growth. I have pruned the under performing branch off in any cases the growth was not even. The next step is the vertical growth and training for equal canopy lighting from here out. The single stick was topped and is branching out fine. Excited about the overall growth. Heavy feeding, great weather, pest free. Keep the sun shining!

These 5 are going really well. Used a 3d printed part to provide some separation for the topping I did on the smallest plant. Everyone else I just try to trim the low stuff, repin, direct growth and keep the feedings coming. No heavy preflower or smell yet but I know it’s coming. Just trying to prepare them because the stretch is about to be on. Excited about the possibility on taste for these 5. Can’t wait! Weather has been mixed but hopefully things will dry out a bit and keep mold potential low. Keep the sun shining!!

Everything is in flower except for the smallest one. The other 4 are getting it pretty hard. Encouraging growth in all the right spots. I am really happy with how these are shaping up. Eliminating ground cover and leaves with PMD. It has been a long stretch of tropical conditions. This has led to high humidity and PMD. I have started using trifecta at least as ground watering to help. Will be doing a spray and neem oil to try and eliminate any long issues.

Defoliating- Trying to get them cleaned out and defoliating to the lollipop look. These are wide and very low, larf breeds bud rot in these situations in my experience. I’ve lost significant amounts to this issue including a large swath of my 2021 work. So I’m really going to try and up my technical game and keep them cleaned up and try to have my own growth this time. These things are firing off like an Arizona night sky. Beautiful structure, growth and resin production and right on schedule. The weather has been an added stress. 75-100% humidity day and night. With night cycles usually 85-91%. This gets rough with local weeds going to seed and dying off. Rot, PMD and fungus all thrive in my current weather conditions. I have been using neem oil and trifecta to help with the issue. The smell is there and strong but not overwhelming. Defoliating left a great smell on the gloves. Looking forward to this one. Looks like it’s going to be a very middle ground hybrid with strong yields based on site clusters. Didn’t save cuts on this one as another person in my network is on SFV which was considered the better save option. Peace. Love and smiles!

Currently about 4 weeks in. Looking to be done somewhere between the 26th and the 7th. Lots of decent looking tops from the training. The lemon profile is starting to come out pretty heavy. Weather- what a fucking nightmare. High winds, strong storms, heavy rains. Thankfully wind damage has been reduced to a few branches. Thank you armor si! Humidity has been in the 100% range at night and 90% or more during the day. Using Trifecta and Neem Oil to fight the PMD along with cutting away heavily infected areas. Dunking at the end of the season for outdoor now just became reality. See what I can do to fight the menace. Defoliating- opened them up pretty heavy and they were fine with it. Been feeding them heavy PK plus sugars. The finish line is closing in probably do one more feeding and cut it off.

These are about 48 days into flowering. Looking pretty beautiful. I have had to snip a few off from bud rot. As you can see in the pictures. I have started my flush and plan to pull it down in the next couple of days before the rot becomes systemic. Tricomes are mostly bright white with amber coming in further out on the leaves. Weather- has still been absolutely shit. High amounts of rain and high humidity. The last two days have seen a return to normal temps and conditions. I think we are almost at 4.5 inches of rainfall for September it’s been brutal. These are in a low lying area and have certainly suffered from that. Smell is very lemon with a gas underneath it. Excited. Defoliating- venting these ladies and taking any unnecessary foliage I can to help them dry out faster and breath. Just trying to avoid PM and Rot issues These are in such a low area. With the rain, low light levels and high humidity these will be getting cut down sooner than later. Keep ya posted!

There is only one of these left in the wild. These were in a pretty low lying area with poor air flow and low light levels. Unfortunately when but rot set in it started to move fast. I had to clip 4 of these well ahead of schedule. The smell is not as good as like an SFV lemon but it’s pretty solid. These have been in flush since the 17th. Probably continue to push this one as long as I can. She’s pretty small tho so I don’t think there is much to gain from pushing it. Budrot is a constant battle. Opening buds up removing worms and their nests or pulling white fluff. If I pull fluff I have been using alcohol wipes on the infected area. These are simple lense cleaning wipes for safety glasses. This has killed the starting colonies and prevented further growth and spread so far. Weather- I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned the weather has been absolutely shit but it’s been an absolute bell head. Cold temps have finally come with the rain. I am shaking the plants accordingly and trying to do what I can. I don’t foresee anything that’s left going past the next full moon. Tricomes- still all white on this one. Hairs are turning tho so I expect outside trics to start turning soon The train keeps rolling! Hold fast my growmies I’m praying to the mother for us all. 🙏
