Smoke Buddy does it outdoors

Smoke Buddy

Hello all my icmag brothers and sisters! :tiphat: I hope you are well and have great success in your gardens this year!

I havent grown any of my favorite plant outdoors in about 6 years I think.. This year I decided to stop my indoor op for the summer and give myself a break while taking advantage of the oportunity of the wide open back field I have.

The spot the plants are at gets direct sunlight from 8:00am to after 8:00pm. Im in the Sacramento valley north of sac and it gets extremely hot here in the summer. Last week we had 2 days over 100 degrees. We also had 3 days of wind over 20 mph. When I have grown here in the past Ive had great results.

I planted 6 different clones. 5 were planted just over 2 weeks ago (June 9th) from beer cups. They were badly in need of transplanting and hungry yellowing and just weak looking. After a few days in the ground they just started to look better and then took off big time. The 6th cut is a gift from a very cool friend here. Thanks Again bro! Its Congo x ECSD. I just planted her a couple days ago. She had a rough trip and needed to rehab on the porch before going out into the extremes. I dont have a pic of her yet she's only a twig at the moment but I expect she will take off immediately.

I dug holes in the ground about 30 gallons each. My mix is recycled (at least 3 cycles on this batch) indoor organic mix thats been cooking for a few months after I added a bunch of stuff like compost, coir, ewc, guano, kelp and some lime. Also some dry ferts, Pure grow and Pure bloom to be specific... then to kick it into gear, moisted with aerated compost tea and wrapped the whole thing into a giant burrito in a tarp.

Without further delay, here are the ladies.

First is a cut I was gifted locally as Strawberry Cough but it seems to be some sort of diesel cross, maybe strawberry D, I dont know but the indoor buds look very similar to ecsd... see the pics in my album. Its damn fine smoke whatever it is.


This is Mr Nice Mango Haze, Fuckem cut... also gifted by an awesome friend here. Im excited to see how she does outside cause she is a really great plant but a big challenge for me indoors. I dont seem to be that great at growing sativas indoors! :)


This is the Purple Brolick clone (AK101's creation of LVPK X Bubba Haze) Some of the strongest best tasting smoke around. When taken 75-80 days indoors she puts ya in a state of comatose.

Hey Guys Thanks for stopping by!

Things are going well overall EXCEPT the Mango Haze got nailed hard by a gopher and is looking about dead but it keeps hanging on.. maybe it will survive. If so Ill start showing her pic again. Ive taken measures you could say... Die Gophers!

Thanks for your kindness Dronabinol! Greetings :tiphat:

Here is a little update. These were taken around noon today.
The weather here has been running very hot.. which is cooler than the sweltering Julys we usually have. Today is a little cooler than yesterday we are supposed to get to 95... and dry and windy.

I have only given well water so far except 2 weeks ago I top dressed each plant with about a 1/2 gallon of very high quality EWC and a handful of Pure Grow organic dry ferts. This morning I gave each plant a gallon of urine water! What you say? Thats right! mixed at about 12 parts water to 1 part urine. The idea is that outdoors we are just about to see the stretch here. I want as much available nitrogen as I can get without chemicals for the next month. We shall see what happens but my plan is to hit em every week for a month.

Here we are today:

and lastly, the Mango Haze did survive and is coming back quickly now. It lost alot of leaves and momentum from the gopher assault. :)

Thanks for stoppin by fellas. :tiphat: Girls are starting to bud big time except for my one ECSD X Congo (Thank You DJXX! ) is holding out for a little more veg.

NOICE.........DJ

Thanks DJ! Hope its going well! Any word on that other one?

Thank you Endur! Yeah I dig the fact that they are in the direct sunlight from about 8:00am to dusk. Sure makes for compact growth since they are really never in the shade. The Chem and Brolick are literally wider than they are tall. Strawberry and Urkle are close to that also. Even the haze is bushy. :)

Well I be damn... This show is taking off... I love it, Im doing a V2 of the PB this year, I'm taking the PMK X OJ...WoW, amazing thinking about it... By the way, thats Purple Menthol Kush, the LVPK is a little different, I got that if you like to try her out. I'm so backed up... DAMN. You should take a trip to the EAST COAST!!!

Ha! There he is! Glad you stopped in. Whats up AK!
Couple things...
Holy Shit, I been telling everybody that the Brolick is LVPK X Bubba Haze... aw.... damn. So, just to be clear, PB= PMKXBH? welll I think my mistake was somehow I got the idea that LVPK=Menthol Kush... not sure where I got that idea. Last thing I wanna do is give wrong lineage info! No sweat tho... Thanks for setting me straight.

Man of course I want to try V2 cause V1 is the shit. Let me illuistrate why :artist: I am not kidding when I say most purple lovers and every indica lover I know LOVE PB more than any of my other strains including well grown Urkle which is a fukin HUGE compliment to PB obviously... Bag appeal is off the charts and the smoke lives up. Everybody I know who has the cut agrees.
Im stoked to run the OJ straight up too believe me. Glad you are busy gettin it done bro. Get at me when you get the time. I got something ready for you.

they are huge. what are you feeding them? wowzers, out in the middle of the field like that. you worried about rippers?

Howzit budman! Thanks for the comment bro. Im feeding them organic... pee, fish hydrolysate, liquid seaweeed, AACT, I only gave em 2 weekly shots of pee and I'll stop with the fish this week. add some other stuff
Rippers? Nah. We dont cotton to rippers round here,,, we got the cure. Actually they are fairly well obscured from most eyes. The tweekers are on the other side of town usually. LOL.. Ya never know I guess.. My 2 neigbors on the sides who can see them are oblivious and NOT into it as well as being my good friends and neighbors, I give them veggies from my garden which they love me for. They keep to their own business, I keep to mine. Plus here in norcal its become the norm to have cannabis in the yard... My attitude is: Its 100 percent legal. No one cares. I love that.


Ill do a pic update soon.
