99.9% sunshine and outdoors.

@Experimentgreen, i'm digging the frost on those fan leaves - did somebody say potency ?? 😂

@7th5ag3, you're so awesome for commenting thank you. I live in the hardcore desert, a typical hot season is like 10% humidity and hmm 85-103 F. Im sure my vpd is redzone so that might be the cause. I better stay up on my watering practices.

@CRiSPrGrow, haha yeah that's also true! Gas exchanges happen at the stomata not your thermometer lol

@HighTV, @experimentgreen, a lot of the time when folks do vpd on here, i notice they take their grow room's temperature, but actually you do need a laser thermometer to measure the temperature of the leaves (often a few degrees colder than the room itself), yes, not as easy as it seems....

@Experimentgreen, @bulbi I think the VPD chart is fine by itself as long as you understand the variables at their core. Typically if you are off on one variable you far out of the green because they use variables that are already dependent on eachother - Like Temperature and Humidity. "Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest." So the Chart to new people could imply to get into the green you need to raise your humidity by 10%. But it doesn't say that raising your RH 10% lowers the Air-pressure and in turn lowers the temperature. Long story short - it works to help the last 5%-10% of improvement but the reality is you struggle to meet VPD its not because of a single stat like the chart says- its due to all of the stats and changing one changes the others. (To be honest.. this is honestly probably more a personal vendetta lol but struggling for a good VPD has never been worth it to me )

@Experimentgreen, which only begs the next question then - when’s end of warm season for you guys? I’m gonna assume ur in Cali because it sounds like the opposite of the minus temps climate hell we’re just starting into here 😤

@TheBudWhisperer, so i messed up its shows 7-8 indoor and end of the warm season for outdoor.

@Experimentgreen, I’d probably lean high side of 10 then. Like you said it’s outdoor. Really interesting strain to watch👌🤩. Good luck but I don’t think you’ll need it👍😉

@Experimentgreen, Yes it is especially when you explain every moment of the week. That's why I'm vague sometimes. If people really want to know they can ask.😂😂

@Teamdirtbag2, its hard keeping up several diaries at once...i seriously dont know how the hell you do it?

@Experimentgreen, no worries. Take your time. Dont rush it. But I will congratulate you now. Nice job.

@Experimentgreen, I agree for sure. That said, we should start seeing more as spring turns through May (at least up here of course). That’s gonna include mine and I’ll have a few plants going this year. Can’t freakn wait.👍😎

@TheBudWhisperer, thank you so much. I was so proud of this plant that ill admit i was a little sad when i thought she had lost. 😕 it was the only outdoor to place in February...it's crazy how much more indoors there are than outdoor grows.

@Experimentgreen, of course I am .... 🤣🤣😂😂 always.... but I looked back and you are doing a great job. I probably wouldn't be able to do it. And especially that nice of a job. No.... no blank weeks. It needs to be seen, you did an amazing job. 😍

@Teamdirtbag2, lol you poking fun at me? Cause i manage to post weeks in a matter of day? Lol...am i suppose to be doing a bunch and bunch of blank weeks? 🤔 eh f it, i just want the diary seen.

@Mrs_Larimar, oh my, seriously a long journey. But worth it and fun.

@growdoctordc, Thanks doc, i appreciate you. Living in the deserts just something I'll have to cope with i guess....or move lol.

@@Athos, God Save The Queen! The bugs have invaded! Call in the Spiders and the other natural predators! Go Go Go!

@BudsZA, thats awesome! Im so excited to see it. When i first started there werent any shamans, so i had no comparison to go off.

@Ironlungs, hey back at ya! Hows everything going?

@psyych, thanks this plant has been one tough bugger...i got very lucky when i picked this for one of my summer strains.

@Experimentgreen, and u and yours as well EG! Cheers!

@TheBudWhisperer, yes please. I'm a reader so anytime someone can suggest something and i have a good chance of it being decent already because they've already read it, I'm all over it.✌️ Thanks my friend, hope you and your wife are having a good new year

@Experimentgreen, that’s cool I’ll prob. Check it out. Had a chat with someone on here about that as well - we tend to make it too complicated sometimes. Plant seed, add water smoke buds! It’s a living thing - to be healthy it requires moderation not excess! If u have an interest in the science behind it I read a good book recently called marijuana cultivation reconsidered by Read Spear. He makes a number of very enlightening observations which even debunk some commonly held beliefs. And thank you for the ear wig tip. They could easily be what was popping the occasional leaf hole last year and my wife hates em so we’ll be giving this a try I think👍. Cheers!

@Teamdirtbag2, hey you, i saw someone else finally has a shaman diary up.

@Experimentgreen, you will get more than 1 bud I'm sure of that. Yes we will see. I cant wait. Would she just start flowering...

@Teamdirtbag2, I'll keep doing the weeks until its caught up...hopefully It can manage to produce at least 1 bud...then we can see if it really is purple or not

@Experimentgreen, tried indoor lst techniques on an outdoor myself and wasn’t all that impressed with the results. Almost like you’re growing against the grain and the plants growth should be dictated by the sun to max out its potential. Something to consider anyway...

@OutForReal, im gonna have to get real creative with the garden this summer....knowing how much light is available now, I've gotta really rethink some things. Otherwise only plant strains that are good outdoors like the shaman. Maybe if i tie em down and treat them like an indoor that only gets overhead light?

@Experimentgreen, Ok so I'm twice more impressed sis 😃 mine did not received a lot of ☀️ too but I need at least 6 plant to yields like yours 👍

@Experimentgreen, hee hee hee 😜 🤩🤩🤩. And that right there is why u can’t beat outdoor! Beautiful👌

@TheBudWhisperer, it's about 12 ounces of buds and another like 2 gallon bags of trim and popcorn. Crazy for how much shade it got. We were at like hmm only maybe 4-6 hours of direct light most of the time, maybe less. There's this big ass tree that seriously has got to go.

@Experimentgreen, my last outdoor was about the same size but in a 10gal. Pot and it was easily gonna push 8oz. +. If you’re in a 15 I gotta say at least 10oz. On a look????? Am I close? If I’m way short that would be awesome and you should consider opening up retail with that kinda supply! Lol

@Mrs_Larimar, hey lovely lady, i loaded a photo of the actual trimbag results. It's pretty well trimmed but had some large stems that didn't get removed. I think it works best on big buds and when the bag is pretty full...rather than a tiny load.✌️

@Mrs_Larimar, so i actually got mine as a tester from one of the people who work there which was very nice of them. It works well if you can have the plants pretty dry and don't mind doing a small finishing trim. It may or may not knock of trichromes in the process and be a little less sparkly.

@Experimentgreen, np and anytime! IMO - outdoor is where you gain the real experience. Think we all often forget that if you want to grow stellar weed you have to appreciate what it means to be a skilled gardener first😉. That lesson took more failed grow attempts for me than I care to admit! Lol!!!

@TheBudWhisperer, You rock! That's exactly the answer i was aiming for. It's function as a defense mechanism. Given i do outdoor that's part of my battle, pest management. However my thoughts were that i rarely see any bugs willing to go navigate into my trichromes. I know some pests can manage in there, possibly the ones who move through the stems and such without being noticed with the eye to begin with. I just wanted to see if anyone ever thinks about how useful all the pieces of the puzzle are...beyond their function of getting one stoned or other medicinal aspects. 💚🌱💚 thanks for responding. 😊

@Mrs_Larimar, definitely, I'll look at that page link and we'll have to talk shop and trade notes. 💚

@Mrs_Larimar, they're in 15 gallon smart pots but the roots are growing into the dirt below.☺️ Im sure all my plants will know is dry air...some will adjust to it and some maybe wont. I might need to research some desert strains rather than jungle strains.
