I am the ultimate IC lurker, but IC is a tight community full of great minds, so I will definitely take this opportunity to be a small part of it I can't do indoors anymore, been outdoor for a few years with varying success, so usually around the OD and local threads... It's just been wayyyy to long since I've had a place here to call home!

please stop in, all comments etc more than welcome!

I'm at 42 N East Coast. Something keeps eating my plants, so they are kind of naturally FIMd lol.

anyway, 3 bagseed left. Lots of germinating issues this year, next year definitely going with the coldframe idea. I'm just happy to have what I have and get a lil homegrown out of it it

Ummm, all in ground.... all organic so far. Alaskan Fish 5-1-1, Neptune's 2-3-1. No sex as of yet, should be within 10 days or so. Different soils in each hole, one in Roots Organic (pic 3-4 pretty sure), one in promix? one in Scott's moisture control? Anyway everything organic minus the Scotts, all have some bone meal and compost/humus and EWC mixed in over time. I have some flowering bat guano to use asap and some wire to put up but hopefully all will make it til harvest! 2nd to last pic is how overgrown the spot is. idk if I can do much about it...

Good luck and hang in there Rob your plants are coming along.
Something is better then nothing.
I think you'll knock it out of the park next year.

[Rob547]

Thanks Joe! Yeah things were looking dim for a minute but these couple plants never gave up on me so I will insure their survival!
Also water crystals are phenomenal, first time using them, definitely helped in a few 100 degree days when I didn't even think anything was alive out there lol.
Seeds I used this year are 3ish yrs old from an indoor plant that hermied, next year I will be buying real seeds to try and get some real good shit

Lookin good rob. Outside is always a crap shoot. I hav probally killed more outside than local leo. Shit really happens out there.
By water cyrstals do you mean like terra sorb? polymers? If so try to mix them in your holes wet not dry. First time I put in Lots dry. first good rain they expanded and pushed my gurl right out of the ground. But they were so moist she was still growin when I found out .. Good luck. Go Grindhouse

animals are a pain, try to get some wire fence to make some cages around them. At least around here when I see one with the top eaten off I think deer ( had one jump my deer fence!), if it's at the base of the plant ... rats. You'd kill it with a cold frame, definitely one of the tricks to getting them big.

[Rob547]

thanks for stopping by guys. lol paladin I know all about the troubles than can arise OD, these are the last of a lot. late start is why they're small. just miracle grow crystals not sure what they are, polymers I assume.

any Grind House seeds out there that would finish mid Sept or so? Yeah I'm going to get some cages asap

[Rob547]

Quick little update here, the 3rd plant rebounded like crazy after being eaten down to just a stem pretty much. Also the 2nd got crudely 'topped' by something, even with the netting on?? But also seems to be growing like crazy, as those 3-4 tops you see are bottom branches lol.

Also waiting on a possible mother (flowering) haze to join the others
These are from the 19th, flowering just starting, gave them some bat guano (.5-12-.2) Still hoping for the best!


late edit: RIP~ biggest plant arghhdgjlkdfg fucking animals

Nice plants

Hope you get some nice flowers for puffin on

Cheers

[Rob547]

thanks for the encouraging words everyone, was down about that nice plant being ruined, but shit happens, especially outdoors. always next year
Irene wasn't too bad here, rained for like 24 hrs little bit of wind, I don't think my plants are big enough to be affected much, plus they're quite sheltered by the vegetation. Hopefully get out tomorrow or tues to check the situation.

stay safe everyone
