outdoor grow

Planted into solo cups on day six after germination. Today is day 7. Some will go outside and some will be grown in a tent. Info on seed strains... Brothers Grimm DTC99 retail seeds Dutch Passion Glueberry OG hermie seeds from a clone of a retail seed grown parent. (Don't hate) Everything else is bag seed from known strains. (Again...Don't hate) The two clones are Glueberry OG from the above mentioned parent stock. The cat (and her sister) came from a rescue shelter a few years ago.

Burned the girls a little with the lamp Moved up and watered will and things are taking off. Lost five to various reasons. Also included the other half of Canna-Guard. She isn't quite as diligent as her sister. Moved the brood outside for a while today. Update...added pics of the arm clones..they are outside daily now. Brood handled outside time well and seem happy. Even the weaklings are coming along. Soil is Organic with composted manure, perlite and coco mixed in. No nutes. Watering with creek water starting yesterday. (That's good nutes in and of itself for now) No foliar spray, never have. But thinking about it with the creek water. I'm open to suggestions and ill keep lurking grow diaries. Gonna mainline some of these. Be a first for that as well. Hoping to end up with 24 plants to work with. The only feminized seeds are the DTC99. All else are natures choice.😆 Update...brood outside again for a while today. loungers came in handy for shade. See roots in cup and worry about light hurting the roots. Thinking about switching out the see through cups and putting the larger plants in pots.

Cold weather is killing me!!! These plants need to be outside and in larger pots. I've transplanted some, but have to hang on until the temps stabilize on Wednesday. The smallest and a couple of the DTC99 will go back under lights once the tent arrives. No nutes. Creek water. Using the creek water as a foliar spray as well. Gonna top soon. Update: Topped the larger plants today. Most all in pots now. Got lots of rain and warm temps. Tents will be here Monday so some will go back under lights. They won't like it, but should fare well at this age.

Started topping yesterday. Got some real vigorous growth happening. The rain earlier in the week, and now, have made me thankful for pot drainage. I'm worried about flushing good stuff from my soil. So an amendment if probably in order. Compost tea and top dressing with Dr. Earth Organic. The arm girls are bushing up well. Brood is soggy yet seems happy. New LED arrived today for the tents. - King LED 1500. Topping complete. Topped only half of the DTC99. Might have screwed myself as Grimm recommends a christmas tree grow...fingers crossed.

Re-potted some of the more vigorous plants into final containers for finishing in the tents. Still not able to sex the non-feminized plants. Forgot Canna-Guard pics this week.

Outdoor plants are loving life right now. Water intake increasing steadily. Un-topped DTC99 is looking healthy and burly (the huge water leaves and thick as hell stem, short node spacing), as is GBOG, cheesequake and CBT. RE-potting as sex shows. Lost 7 to being male so far. (Very favorable ratio.) Still waiting for greenhouse to arrive....Losing my deck to plants. Starting to lightly defoliate centers and lower branches. Mother Nature is doing most of the work. Update...wind yesterday really put the hurts on the brood. Probably going to lose several plants. Hadn't staked yet in anticipation of moving all to a greenhouse. Greenhouse hasn't arrived....Staked yesterday and repaired what I could. Hoping for 30% or less loss.

Glueberry in full flower mode. DTC99 is stacking nicely. Everybody seems happy. Defoliation here and there. Nutrient update forthcoming.

Plants are well overall. Have caged larger plants and trellis on the shorter front plants. Two containers of ladybugs released to combat an early aphid issue. Liquid feeding every third watering. Top dressing every couple of weeks. They are all heavy drinkers in the heat so am watering every other day thoroughly. Crazy growth over the last couple of weeks as well.
