Art's First Outdoor Adventure 2008

[ARTofMAKINGfire]

Bud formation has accelerated.

These are random shots taken on the last day of August.

This is an Orange Bud. She's fallen over, just like inside my cabinet. She's clearly a freak of nature that would NEVER survive in the wild without human intervention. Lucky for her...

I stood her back up and packed mud all around the base of her stem. Doubt it will fix the problem, but it made me feel better.

These purple buds are the Sour Diesel I grew ID. I hardly recognize her...

I got three of the purple Sour Diesel's.

Here is the outdoor strain.

And the plot again.

If I can keep them out there for until Oct 1. I'll be very happy. The plan is to let them go until before the first frost. I want that weight.

Tell me strains don't look SO much sicker OD than ID. My HKxWW is way frostier OD!!!

Looking sick, Art!!! Some for the fest,maybe (fingers crossed!!!)?

All the best,
TG

There will certainly be some picked and dried for the festival.

I think I'll bring some purple Sour Diesel...

I hope these girls get FAT.

Just had a bad storm, so I hope they're okay.

I'm going to wait a while as I noticed trail is getting way too beaten...

 

[esbe]

AWESOME DUDE! im shure your plants are okay, they seem protected by the soroundings

 

[thatguy]

Fuckin sweet, Art! They sure look like they'll put it on!

That storm got you pretty bad down there, huh? Up here we only caught 2-3 inches, and winds of maybe 25 at the worst.

All the best,
TG

Disaster.

Went to the patch today.

Every plant had fallen over. Obvious serious erosion and high winds laid the plants down.

Due to partner not being able to provide transportation RIGHT after the storm, I was unable to get to them for several days. I try to save them , but more rains are on the way with little sun throughout the next week, so it's going to be rough until the next burst of solid sunshine.

Oh well. Learned more this season than this MEASLY harvest...

If something comes through, great. If not, fuck it. And cheers, here's to future endevours...

Just read through the whole grow, and I'm bummed for you man, those were going to be some heavenly plants.

You have some solid ones down there man, better luck next time

 

[thatguy]

So how are things looking now, man? Don't know how I missed that!

Good luck, man!

All the best,

What ever happened with those plants?

 

[akornpatch]

well??

well??

Any new news?

 

[i.love.scotch]

it sucks when people stop posting right near harvest time, what happened?? nice plot btw, can't wait to hear how it turned out!

 

[ARTofMAKINGfire]

I apologize for the delay. I had these pics in my gallery but forgot to update you!

The girls recovered nicely. I was surprised. I let them go about another month.

Then one day, when inspecting, I heard someone walking in the brush. They were close enough on my spot that I swear they must have smelt it and known. But I ran.

Also, there was a couple laying outside on a blanket making out. They were older and I think they were probably crack heads. So I dismissed them.

All in all I was wierded out way too much. So I had to collect them that night. I rolled in and did my thing. This is what I brought back..

About 7 ounces bone dry and manicured crazt tight.

They were good OD. I went to a festival in ME and noticed (others did as well) my OD were better than or equal to all the OD up there. And I saw alot.

But it's all gone now!!! lol.

And harvest draws near...

 

[ARTofMAKINGfire]

Indoor harvest that is...
