Well, I figured I'd start a new diary for the summer time outdoor fun. My indoor flowering will be done by end of july but I have been moving my vegging plants outside over the past couple days.
now bear in mind, I'm not in the tropics , nor am I in a prime growing area like California. I'm at 52.5 North latitude and 2850 feet in elevation in western Canada.
Putting plants outside unprotected before last week would have ensured disaster LOL but now , mother nature has finally brought us summer time weather and I have been busy germinating seeds and transplanting vegging clones and seedlings.
My set up for now is just open sunshine and I have a covered area I can move the plants to in case of heavy rains. Around here we can get hail , torrential plant destroying rain right thru till july.
Once end of august comes I'll have a small hoop house so I can keep them warm at night in sept. We can hit zero C at night by sept 10th and hard frost by sept 30 so will be planning accordingly.
Some of my plants will require light dep starting by mid july, some are autos so should be fine without light dep.
I am growing in 18 gallon rubber maid totes with sunshine mix 4 fortified with dolomite Lime. I'll be using Alaska fish and some other semi organics but keeping things super simple and low maintenance.
So the varities that I'm running
First up germinating in 4" starter pots
-Afterthought Autos Azure Rocket - 6 regular seeds (seedbay freebies)
-Ancestral Seeds Betty Warp (betty paige x texada timewarp) - 5 regular seeds
-Swordfish (Black Tuna x Shiskaberry3f2) 10 seeds - my own cross
-OJSDKB F2 - server fund seeds by member Baked Beanz - 6 seeds
**males will be cloned and killed from swordfish and ojsdkb if they stand out and are early to flower.
Plants vegged a lil over 6 weeks indoors
- Shiskaberry F1 - 1 plant topped and trained and in 18 gallon tote
-Shiskaberry3 F2 - 1 plant , topped and trained and in 18 gallon tote.
-Antenna Seeds Purplelazerlite - 3 female seed plants , 2 in a 18 gallon tote and one in a 5 gallon pot
will take some pics tomorrow and update
