5/25 Some pics may be repeated because I forgot to add a new week. Waited until about 11 to bring the girls outside. They were definately dry on top so I used the rest of the gallon to water them. When going outside I noticed a specific kush plant that's lighter than the rest. I really need to up my water volume on these big plants. They are also getting close to not liking it in the 1 gal. and are ready for a transplant. I cleaned the cage so as soon as the weather permits these girls will be outside in the direct sunlight. Basking in the sun in the cage to finish hardening before going into their final homes which will be 20-30 gal smart pots and a 50 gal grow pot. Well SOME of them are ready for transplant. The link kush seems to take its time but it looks extremely indica-E. Weather looks like it will be amazing this week so I'm obviously stoked. Wouldn't suprise me if these girls were outdoors be the end of the week! EDIT: THE GIRLS STAYED OUT FOR 3.5 HOURS AND LOOKED FANTASTIC. TUEY GOT SOME INTENSE SUN, EXPOSIRE TO THE HIGH RH AND A LITTLE EXPISURE TO THE HIGH WINDS. SPECIAL KUSH SEEMS TO BE THRIVING. I THINK IT WILL DO WELL IN THIS CLIMATE. THAT ONE MK ULTRA IS GROWING AT A RIDICULOUS RATE. I WATERED THE PIBK KUSH THAT WAS LIGHT. I CANT WAIT FOR THE UPCOMING WEATHER. I CAN EXPOSE THE PLANTS TO SOME DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SEE HOW THEY HANDLE IT. I CAN ALSO GET THE GROW BAGS READY WITH SOIL MOXED AND THEM IN THE RIGHT LOCATION THE DAY BEFORE THE TRWNSPLANT TO FINAL HOME BUT IM GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. IM HAPPY THUS FAR. I also added another half hour of darkness so the plants will be closer to actual daylight times. They're down to 16.5. I'd like to have them lower by now but it is what it is. If some reveg I'll deal with it. 5/26 Plants seem to grow an inch I'm a day. MOST are getting to the point where they want to stretch their feet out. Good thing they'll be going in their final homes as soon as they are hardened off completely. I brought them out around 8 this morning. I have to be back at noon but I'm uncertain if leaving them out that long is a good idea. I'll probably have to check them in an hour or so. They're in the lean-to but THAT gets direct sun until the sun rises high enough in the sky to block it. I put them in here rather than the cage so they can build a tolerance to these harsh winds. Topsoil was dry as fuck. I watered everything. I focused on those that SEEMED the lightest and the largest plants. That MK Ultra plant I fimmed is going to be MASSIVE. I'll update what I do as I do it. Oh I also cleaned the bags twice and they are hanging inside the cage with the direct uv rays hitting any part that's discolored. I MIGHT do one more cleaning but I doubt it. Twice is enough. Technically three times but still. I want things to go right. It looks like I've got some pretty good phenos. EDIT: I PULLED IN (BLOCKING VIEW FROM PART OF THE DRIVEWAY OFF) BECAUSE THAT WAS CLOSER TO MY PLANTS. I GET OUT AND START ADMIRING MY PLANTS AND LOOK ACROSS THE STREET TO SEE TWO STATE TROOPERS AND SOME DETECTIVE ACROSS THE STREET. DAD SAID AN AMBULANCE CAME BUT LEFT WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THEY WERE TALKIMG TO THE COUPLE SEPERATELY. I ATE LUNCH AND THEY WERE STILL THERE. MY HOT WIFE WENT OUT AND THE ALL STARTED FUCKING RUBBER NECKING. MEANWHILE I BROUGHT THE PLANTS INSIDE WITH THE SMALL COVER MY S.U.V PROVIDES LOL. PLANTS WERE LEFT IN DIRECT LIGHT UNTIL IT ROSE HIGH ENOUGH TO CUT IT OFF TO THE LEAN TO. PLANTS SEEM LIGHT. WELL SOME DO. I NEED TO GET A GOOD WATERING SCHEDULE DOWN. JUDGING BY HOW THESE PLANTS TOOK IT TODAY I THINK THEYLL BE OUTSIDE IN FOREVER HOMES WITHIN A WEEK. 5/27 Just poked my head in and checked on them real quick. NO damage whatsoever from all that time in the sun. I left them inside this morning so I can bring them out later in the day to see what happens. I'll add pics later and update what I do. EDIT: BROUGHT THE PLANTS OUT TO THE CAGE AT A LITTLE BEFORE 10AM AND LET THEM BASK IN THE 85° SUN. THE WIND WAS A LITTLE ROUGH ON THEM. IT WAS ACTUALLY THRASHING THEM BUT MY INTUITION SAID 'LEAVE THEM BE' SO I DID. I DID MORE CLEANING AND FIGURED OUT SPACING IN THE CAGE AND I MIXED A 30GAL GROW BAG AND 2 20GAL GROW BAGS WITH A 50/50 MIX OF FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST AND HAPPY FROG. SOUL WAS MIXED WITH A GRADE STAKE AFTER BEING PUT IN A GALLON AT A TIME (TO ENSURE EQUAL PARTS) AND FINALLY MISED BY HAND. TAKES A LOT OF WORK. IM NOT GOING TO BE AS PICKING WITH THE OTHER ONES. I STILL HAVE MY 50 WITH SOIL IN IT. MAINLY DUE TO LAZINESS AND THE PAIN IN THE ASS IT IS TO MOCE THE FUCKER. PLUS IF IM LOW ON SOIL (WHICH IM NOT) THAT WAS GOOD SOIL AND THE PLANT HAD NO PROBLEMS SO I GUESS IF NEEDED IT FOULD BE REUSED. I NORMALLY JUST EMPTY THAT FIRST AND MIX A SHIT TON OF SOIL IN THERE AND SHOVEL IT IN THE BAGS. THIS WAS MUCH HARDER. PLANTS GOT CLOSER TO 2 HOURS OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT BEFORE I MOVED THEM TO THE LEAN TO. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I HRING THEN IN BUT DESPITE THE HARSH SUN AND WIND THEY SEEM FINE. EDIT: BROUGHT THE GIRLS IN AT TWO BECAUSE MY WIFE HAD AN APPOINTMENT. NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. I THINK IF I USE THIS WEEK TO INCREASE DAYLIGHT HOURS AND UP THE WATERING THESE PLANTS WILL BE READY TO GO IN THEIR HOMES. A FEW ARE BIG AND DEF READY TO STRETCH THEIR FEET. 5/28 With the increased sun some these plants are out growing their containers. PLANTS SPENT APPROX AN HOUR AND A HALF IN DIRECT 85° SUN. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THEM FOR THE DAY IN THE CAGE. THEN I NOTICED THE BIG MK ULTRA'S MAIN STEM (IT GOT FIMMED BUT THE MAIN ONE) WAS STARTING TO DROOP A LITTLE. I PICKED THE PIT UP AND DESPITE A LITTLE BIT OF MOUSTURE ON THE TOP THE PIY WAS LIGHT AS A FEATHER. PLUS SETTING ON THE THEM ON THE TAR WASN'T THE BEST IDEA EITHER. I MISED UP SOME WATER AND WATERED THE PLANTS THAT SEEMED LIGHT. I NEED TO PICK UP LIKE ONE MORE BAG OF OCEAN FOREST FOR MY 50 GAL. I'M GOING TO TRY TO FINISH MY OTHER TWO 20'S AND THE TWO 10'S TONIGHT SO I'LL KNOW WHAT IM LACKING. ITS BASICALLY JUST THE 50. IF MY INTUITION SAYS ITS OK ILL TALE THE "COOLER" DAY TOMORROW AND TRANSPLANT THE THREE PLANTS TGAT ARE GETTING TO BIG FOR THERE POT. ÌF NEEDED I MIGHT GET SOME SCREENS TO USE AS A "BLIND" SO THE PLANTS DONT GO STRAIGHT TO FULL SUN ALL DAY. EDIT: TJAT HUGE MK ULTRA REVOVETED NOCELY ONCE WATERED AND PUT IN THE SHADE. IT NEEDS TO BE TRANSPLANTED. I MAY DO ITCTOMORROW. PLANTS HAVE GOT TO BE CLOSE TO HARDENED. I MIXED ALL MY SOIL AND FILLED ALL THE GROW BAGS WITH THE MIX. I FINISHED CLEANING THE CAGE AND REMOVED BAMBOO AND TRELLISING. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A MILD DAY AND PERFECT FOR TRANSPLANT. SOME OF THESE GIRLS ARE GETTING VERY BIG. I RAN OUT OF SOIL AFTER THE LAST 10GAL GROW BAG. ITS NOT FILLED "ALL" THE WAY AND I GAVENT FILLED MY 50 GAL. I'LL GET THE REST OF THE SOIL I NEED FOR THAT 50 TOMORROW. 5/29 The store only had the 1.5cuf ffof so I held off and I'll check the local one tomorrow. Today is perfect weather for transplant but it unfortunately doesnt fit my schedule. They looked so happy i just let them take the day off and left them inside. I have a few things to do tomorrow so i doubt I'll get to it. I'm planning for Saturday to be my transplant day. Everything but the 50 is ready. If things change it could be later today or tomorrow but at least by the weekend. Hoping they dont reveg. I may just light dep a few of them which would require less soil. I'm planning on doing that with the two tens. 5/30 Today was the day. It was cloudy and supposed to rain and shower overnight into the morning. However about two plants in clouds parted and we got straight blue skies and sun. Oh well. I think it was the right time. Everything is in smart pots 10g-30g. I couldn't finish the last plant as I ran out of soil and plant find the last support and I would've had to reuse soil. I'll get more soil tomorrow and that pink kush will go in the 50. I'm fucking tired. I think this was the right move. All plants were transplanted with mykos. 5/31 We got the rain I was expecting. It poured last night. Plants and the cage itself were fucking soaked! I'm suprised they held up as well as they did! The one pink kush in the lean-to is unfazed. They did great through that hard rain. It's raining today off and on but the whole next week is going to be perfect. This weather RIGHT NOW is perfect for the fresh transplants. Sucks we got that hard rain but they took it well. Picking up soil today to either transplant the last pink kush today or more likely tomorrow after this rain ends. If the plants made it through that hard rain last night they can deal with the showers today. I can't wait to see how they look when the rain stops and they get some sun. They'll have gotten a big boost of nutes and I'm hoping will explode in growth. We shall see. EDIT: THIS "SHOWERS" FORECAST HAS TURNED INTO TORRENTIAL RAIN. I LABELED THE STRAINS WITH TAGS (PREVIOUSLY I JUST HAD THE 1 GAL POT WITH A ROCK IN IT NEXT TO THE PLANT) AROUND 11:30 AMD THE BACK SIDE OF THE CAGE WAS FLOODED. THAT GARDLY EVER HAPPENS. ONLY WITH SEVERE STORMS. LUCKILY EVERYTHING IS ABOVE GROUND ON PALLETS. I TRIED TAKING A VIDEO WITH MY PHONE BUT IT WAS RAINING SO HARD IT SHUT THE VIDEO OFF PREMATURELY. I NORMALLY WOULD BE ALL NERVOUS AMD WORRYING BUT THERE'S NO WIND, PLANTS HAVE NO DAMAGE AND LOOK PRETTY GOOD DESPITE JUST BEING TRANSPLANTED AMD MAKING IT THROUGH THIS STORM. ITS ONLY SUPPOSED TO RAIN FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS. ILL GO SHAKE THEM OFF AFTER THE RAIN. TOMORROW THE LAST PINK KUSH WILL BE GOING IN THE 50. Edit 2. Went back over at about 2:45 after it stopped raining and shook off the plants. After seeing my lilac bushes down I wad a little nervous bur there is absolutely NO damage and ALL the plants seem to have made it through unscathed. From here we have at least a week of great weather. Now it's just overcast. Perfect for fresh transplants. I'm excited. I think this will be a good year. The last pink kush may need to wait until Monday to be transplanted as the local store is closed on Sunday and I dont feel like driving all the way into the nearest town when I need to go on Monday anyway. That plant missed the whole storm and just rode it out in the lean-to. Looks just like it did when it was inside. It needs to be transplanted though. Maybe my dad will go tomm and I can convince him to get it. NEW WEEK: Site won't let me add a new week so i guess I'll gontinue here and do less days when it gets fixed. It's raining but it's only going to rain for another hour or so. I'm very suprised the plants are doing as well as they are having gone through the storm. Looking at the loan plant invthe lean-to had me questioning whether I made the right decision. I think I did. It was 51 at 8am and it was misting. Plantsclooked good considering what they had been through. Granted the ONE PINK Kush I have left in the lean-to wasn't subjected to any of this hard rain or anyv9f the wind. It was cold when I checked it but it looked great. I'm grabbing the soil tomorrow for the last transplant. She's going in the 50. I think I did a good job with strain selection this year. I wish I hadn't fucked up some of the seedlings. Special Kush looks like it will do well here. They all do actually. Hopfully I can start a new week soon. Lost my knife and went over to look for it and despite the shitty conditions the plants seem to be GROWING. I can't wait forcthe good weather coming this week. Plants got some rain and overcast sun before being subjected to that full sunlight. I'm looking forward to this. I hope the fix this shit soon. STILL WON'T LET ME ADD A NEW WEEK. RAIN FINALLY STOPPED AND PLANTS SEEM TO BE DOING GOOD. THEY'LL LOVE THIS WEATHER COMING UP. 6/2 STILL CAN'T ADD A NEW WEEK! Watered the last pink kush which is doingcgreat having waited the storm out in the lean-to. Grabbing soil to transplant that today. This week's forecast looks great so I'm expecting lots of growth.
