Sleepy Joe sponsored by WeedSeedExpress

I’m a couple weeks late in starting my journal but here we are. First let me thank WeedSeedExpress for giving me the chance to grow some of their seeds for them. I have 11 plants again this year but to be less stress on myself, I’m gonna focus only on my sponsored seeds. So I’ve upped my soil game this year and will be growing in Fox Farms/Ocean Forest/Perlite soil (60%/30%/10% roughly) have some extra bags of each to add later when the roots start to really show on top of the soil. Hoping tomorrow might be the day I can toss her outside into her final pot, but worry about my dogs being assholes and ripping everyone out (they’ve already torn out a grape plant) So wish me luck and here’s hoping the dogs allow them to grow. I know a lot of copy and paste but everyone is pretty much the same. More details for each once we really start growing

Sorry on little updates as I was away this week. As you can see, she had a bit of growth happen to her. Finally got us some warmth, humidity and even a T-Storm for good measure. Still a bit to go I think before she gets topped

Sleepy Joe seems to be liking it outside with the warmer weather coming. Cages on because of potential hail storms tomorrow and because I still have dogs. See little marks in my soil where the actual squirrels try to dig, but don’t go that far in thankfully. Good really hot, hazy and humid days coming in for a good stretch. Watch her just take off and be ready for a topping come Saturday

So we are midway into this heat dome and boy are we hot and humid, but she seems to like it. My mom waters the other plants we are growing in our yard every other day with this heat, and so she is kind enough to water her as well. I’m probably a day or 2 away from topping her. So here’s hoping more of this weather for her to grow, but sad for my dogs who can’t handle the heat for a walk.

At the start of week 7, she has been topped. Now it’s been a few days and limbs are now starting to stretch out but nothing I can use the training clips with on, yet. Have a couple low 70’s days before we see a return to warmer/humid weather again. Hope for more of that because she tends to like and grows for me as a thank you (or so I tell myself)

First, don’t take any of this weeks measurements to heart. The site keeps changing everything on me, and I’ve tried 3 times already but reverts back to something else completely. Anyways I have gone and done a little more training with my clips and I’m gonna try and mainline the top like I did last year on a MAC grow I did. That one got huge and hoping for the same here. Pretty much gonna try this with everyone I’m growing.

Beryl remnants passing through today. Some big loud downpours this morning before sunrise, but all seems good so far. We are getting thicker looking, and green foam wire brought out like most of my outdoor girls for traning. So it should be fun to see if things explode in growth once Beryl leaves us and hot humid sunny weather returns

I came this close to losing EVERYTHING outside today(Monday) We have had storm after storm today and have dropped easily 3-4 inches in rain, and terrible winds during these storms. Thank god I use these rubber cans or I could been screwed that way as well. The plants have taken a beating and thankfully they have survived . . . so far.

New week, and a new look. Did some before and after pics of my defoliation and I removed a fair bit from her. Lots of inner small growths I had to slightly rip from the bigger limbs, but I think they’ll thicken up and give me some chunky colas/buds in the end. Sleepy Joe says she will be staying in the grow race for 2024

Last week of veg, as white pistils showed up on Aug 1st on’Q. Lost a lot of shade a few days ago with trees getting trimmed a good chunk. So maybe get a little more airflow with the trim, will keep my worries of wpm happening. (Like past outdoor grows of past)

Wow on the stretch that keeps on going outside and the pistils are really starting to show. Gal was real thirsty yesterday and so last night I gave her a big drink of water. Reason for more of the Wow! reaction on the stretch for this morning. Now we to deal with remnants again of Berry tomorrow. So hopefully we won’t have a repeat of the last giant rain storm, well no tree to fall down this time. Oh look, some real measurements.

Just looking wonderful and the smell is coming in as well (sorry neighbours) I think a new measurement will need to be done as she looks like she grew. Gave her a good drink tonight and added some high phosphorus dried bat guano as a top dressing with tonight’s watering

Looking a little in need of a watering, which will be done tomorrow morning. So I’ve added more bat guano and Epsom salt to the top of the soil tonight, and will be watered in tomorrow. Really starting to billow sideways, along with some of my other outdoor gals. Looks like the bud building is happening and support will need to be added.

Sadly wpm is showing around the bottom section of my plant. Took the trimmer and removed a few smaller limbs for better airflow and because of the wpm already on them. Getting fatter buds showing, but gotta worry about the humidity returning for apparently the rest of the month. . . . and we just started
