hello all. i am very excited for this outdoor season and would like to share my grow with you all. First of all i will give you guys the lineup of strains

1 purple kush (it started flowering in june then went back to veg and now is flowering again. I have never dealt with a plant that has done this before. Is it going to finish normally?)
3 djs blueberry
3 ss bubblegum
1 super lemon haze
3 nycd (although one of them looks differrent and has been responding to nutrients differently so it may have been mislabeled.
1 unknown strain just a seed i popped a few weeks ago.
1 tahoe og that will be put outside soon i just got her and she was in rough shape so i am getting her healthy then out she goes.

These have all been vegged outside minus the tahoe.

I am growing in soil that is roots organic mixed with perlite and ewc. Through veg i have been feeding fish emulsion and liquid karma with tap water. For flowering i stepped it up a bit and will be using ro water with botanicare pbp bloom in addition i am also using liquid karma and cal mag plus. I will use hydroplex when the time comes.

this is the PK that is back into flower



and a djs bb that is starting to set flowers

so a little update on the ladies. My PK plant that has been with me all summer is starting to show some wierd color changes on the leaves. I havent had a lot of time to do a ton of research so i dont know what the problem is. The plant is maturing well and the lower branches seem to look better than the tops. This is kind of weird but i think it is due to the fact that the plant went back into veg and the bottoms were shaded enough to stay in flowering maybe. This is just my own speculation and i have no evidence that this is the case. Anyways here are a couple pictures of her.



The rest of the garden is looking good other than a slight overfeeding which i think is the reason for a couple of the ladies to show me some claw. I also had a couple recent additions to the garden and one loss . My tahoe og mother that i just got was outside enjoying some sun and the wind blew it over and uprooted it.... she was in weak shape when i got her and i shouldnt have put her outside at all but i thought she may enjoy it. Shame on me. Anyways on a happier note i received a sour kush mom


and two new chem d clones. I also got two flowering plants that are either sour dubble or chem d's. I dont know as ive never grown either but i will figure it out. They are looking a little weak and im trying to get them back on board to finish out the flowering cycle so well see.

So that is how things are going here. I am itching to harvest this PK plant when it is ready as i intend to make most of it into BHO. I checked the trichs with a 60-100x and they are still mostly clear. Anyways cheers.

[Starth_Vader]

i havent detected an odor from her really at all yet. My allergies have been bad lately so that may be the reason. I will let you know when i can smell her.

So I have been busy with my outdoor garden. I harvested the purple kush plant that i had growing all summer. This plant was starting to get some mold on it and was having a yellowing leaf issue that i still havent figured out. I had a couple pest problems along the way so i think that might have something to do with it. Anyways since it was harvested early i decided to only keep some of the nugs and i am going to make hash with the rest. If the plant would have been able to finish i think i would have pulled a pretty good yield. I will pot the pictures when i get my BHO runs done.

So since the PK had some pest issues i sprayed the whole rest of the garden when i finished harvesting her. I used some azatrol and some caterpillar killer. The garden is looking good and i took some pictures for you. I think i will be adding some SFV OG and some Diablo OG to the outdoor garden soon. I have been feeding botanicare with RO water and i am pretty pleased with the results so far. My feed schedule is as follows.
per 4 gallons of RO water
45 ml liquid karma
45 ml bloom PBP
10 ml Cal-Mag plus
ph to 6.5ish
I have also fed with a compost tea a couple times to promote the microherd. The NYCD have been showing a little bit of claw but they are not as green as i would like so i dont really know if i should ad more nitrogen or if that is the reason they are clawing. Anyways it seems to be slowly working itself out so well see.
