mint jelly auto outdoor

SoCol 9 days old for the minty girls. Got them in a small glass greenhouse during the day, still cold at night so I’m waiting on moving them to their forever home outside. Haven’t bought any fertilizer or nutrients yet, planning on fox farms but will take recommendations, it’s a couple hour drive to the store from my mountain cave, so I gotta plan it out

SoCol Minty girls doing good, Still keeping indoors at night cuz it’s been freezing outside at night longer than I had hoped. Snow storm coming Wednesday but after it looks like it’ll warm up nicely. Next year green house seems to be in my future

SoCol Moving day! Fencing in a small plot in a full sun area, temps at night in the mid 40s, also starting fox farms grow big

SoCol Moved all the girls to outdoor full time, have a temporary fence while I am building a stronger perimeter fence,(got bears and elk and whatnot) big enough to fit a small hoop house In eventually. Also started feeding nutes this week, half dose, gonna build to full dose over the next couple weeks

SoCol Gonna start LST this week. Had lots of rain and clouds but some sun every day. Doing one more week with the fox farms grow big then switch to tiger bloom. Shiloh the lady horse is keeping an eye on things

SoCol Seeing some signs of pre flowering, so I’m introducing tiger bloom, and using less grow big. Didn’t get as big as I expected but they seem healthy and grow fuller everyday. Temps are rising and the sun is getting stronger. I’m very hopeful for a strong finish. Starting a second batch of 4 mint jelly seeds, and am shopping around for some clones. This is my first summer of growing here in the mountains, and my goal is to have so much flower by the time I’m snowed in this winter, lol that it’ll be overwhelming. Maybe have to build a shed for storage, for all the flower. Lol that’s my hope anyway

SoCol Started the week with a hail storm, 3 plants had fan leaf damage, so I removed 1 set from the 3 plants. Everybody seems happy and healthy, all 5 are pre flowering with more progress each day. Measuring at 8 inches at the shortest, and 12 inches at the tallest, they definitely are small but they are still growing. This is my first real attempt at growing and I have 12 plants going right now (🤨 I got excited) I got my garden fenced in with some wire, I built a horse manure compost box and put about 5 yards away on one side, and a hedge wall on the other side, with the hope that the co2 with drift down to the plants, not sure if that will work or not but makes me feel productive lol

SoCol Lost one plant, but the 4 remaining are all flowering and look healthy, getting a lil sticky. Hail storms led to some more fan leaf removal.

SoCol 72 days old. Warm days n warm nights, buds are getting fatter. The tallest is 14 inches, shortest is 12 inches. I’m enjoying this stage of growing the most, I keep walking out to the garden just to hang out and look at the plants

SoCol 2 of the plants that are 12 inches are both further along with flowering, can barley see the main stem in most parts. Feels like I should stop feed nutes to them, and that they are definitely close, the other 2 plants are both about 16 inches tall and are a little further behind in flowering ( the difference being they both have larger pots, an experiment on my part ) I’m starting to smell the flower over my dang horses, so that’s nice. My mom says that they look real pretty 🤩

SoCol 2 out of 4 plants are a week maybe less from harvest, which will be day 100. the other 2 plants are a week or more behind. I reckon the delay(as Chunga pointed out)is from the cold temps first month or so. Next year I’ll wait till mid may to plant. But overall I’m very pleased with how they are growing, they be small but looks like I’ll have a successful harvest. 🤘😶‍🌫️🤘

SoCol *accidentally double posted last week, so this is actually week 12* I harvested the shorter 2 plants, got them drying now, with the other 2 lady’s still trucking along. Purple expression is showing in one of the remaining plants, looks very cool. I expect to cut them in the next few days

SoCol All around pleased and learned a lot, gonna increase yields with the grows to come
