Phantom's 2012 outdoor, partly swamp

Hi guys,

Do you remember the hillside spot, that one that was discovered (I think). I wasn't there for about a month now and went there yesterday. A pretty nice surprise was waiting on me, I also learned something new, but more of this later. I brought some new plants there also. 3 bushmans and 2 LBPDs. I wanted to bring a SV99 but it turned out to be a male. I'm very sorry about this strain, because I don't have any of them anymore and it would be a nice strain for sure.

So here is the nice surprise (both are girls) :
Lavender bushman


Local/blueberryXpine tar kush/deep chunk (LBPD)


This are some of the new planted ones. I nearly gave up this spot, so the new plants I brought there aren't accommodated to direct sunlight and today is a hot day, so they will probably get sun burned.



And here is the only survived Lr its a male so I pulled him.

What I learned new? Well the ferns overgrew completely my plants more up in the spot and I learned that plants can grow very nice even in bad conditions.

For example the Mandala 1 (male unfortunately)
Hidding behind the ferns

And after I removed them a nice plant showed up


This guerillas gusto is also hidding (don't know sex yet)


Lavender bushman- was dug out and survived this way neary a month


So basicly I could be standing 50cm away of a big cannabis plant without even knowing it is there.

The males I pulled, I just threw away, so I hope the roots won't find the way into the soil again so the plants would survive and pollinate everything in the autumn.

A picture on my way home: Nice view on Maribor

Awesome stuff and great photo of the area. I had no idea that a city named Maribor even existed and it looks like it's a nice one in a nice area.

THANKS GUYS!

Perolito: Actualy there wasn't much nice weather till now, but the weather changed now, nothing but sun for the next days pretty much for whole europe, long term forecast even says for weeks, but they are normally wrong :laughing: , too much sun wouldn't be good anyway. I like it a little more rainy, except in the autumn :laughing:

niceeven: hehe It isn't really the biggest one but it does exist :biggrin:

July: I bought it over the internet, not over a real store more a guy that was selling only this kind of cameras. The camera is a ltl acorn 5210mm.

piterr: I haven't grown it before, but it should be ready at least at the end of october, I also saw reviews where it finished by oct. 1st. I would be happy to pull her about middle oct. or a little later. It is a very mold resistant plant.

Update time.

Visited the backup spot today and am pretty dissapointed. Last time some buddy's plants were eaten, this time my plants were eaten even more. The white widow I brought there last time barely has any grow tips and for the durban poison I can only say that it ONCE WAS a nice plant.

Northern lights - this plant pulled the sticks it was lst-ed to out of the ground again. I lstd her for the last time


Durban poison - only 3 branches left. The funny thing about this plant is that if any animal wants to eat it it has to go pass 4 other plants.


White widow - This plant attracts animals. I know that from my own experience and heard it from other growers.

Passion & Sweet tooth - are doing good, only 1 or two branches were eaten per plant

Sweet tooth


Passion


And my buddys juicy fruit - looks like most of his plants are males.


Greets, Phantom

July: I'm sure you did not see the second part of my update (same time of post), so things aren't so bad anyway. Nothing is lost yet, but if plants get smaller by every visit.. Well lets not hope so.

mihakt: Thanks, yes DP is from DP hehe.

Does ANYBODY of you guys know when Purple Maroc starts flowering? I would really appreciate this information, so that I could know how to train her.

Swamp update

In this hot june weather the swamp has dried out and because I take water to foliar spray from there I had to spray them with a solution that was probably a little over the recommended doses and I did not have enough of it, so the P1 and PM got a very lite spraying. I sprayed with Ca this time.

The pictures

Sweet tooth - I found a branch that is making 3 leaves per internode



Frisian dew

Mite damage


When I came to the spot, there were thousands of grasshoppers, at least 50-100 per m2, but there is pretty much no damage on my plants. There are also lots of spiders on my plants, they protect them.

:thank you:

Hi guys! Hillside update time.

What can I say. Plants have it really tough here. Nearly all the new brought plants are very heavy eaten. Also the two bigger plants that are survived from the begining were damaged by rabbits. How big the damage is time will tell. If I'm ever going to grow on the hillside or the backup spot again I really have to make a fence around my plants.
The guerillas gusto was a male so I pulled him.

And some pictures. Lets start with the good ones.
