Green Crack outdoor, @45N

[dirty-joe]

So, I had made a couple/few posts in other "general" outdoor topics, but I thought it time to start my own thread.

Anyway,
Green Crack, Apr 21 = day 1 (can show).
They went outdoors on May 21 for good.
Today Jun 15, Day 56.
In tires on ground 38" tall.

In ten gallon containers, on the roof, 12 hours direct sun, 25-30" tall.

I took the two bottom branches off a couple plants today and see how quick I get roots. I might like to keep one of these over winter.

Looking great!

These from seed?

What kind of soil mix/nutrients are you using?

The Green Crack I had was AWESOME.

Have you grown this Green Crack before ?

What did the buds smell like ?

Thanks,
Yes from seed. Got wet Apr 16, Apr 21=day 1

Soil, about 50/50 very old cattle manure, and maple leaf mold / compost (abt. 1.5 years old) plus a very little bit of worm casting, and some proper finished compost.

Container size, the recycle bins are filled to exactly 10 IMP gallons, the tires are approximately 15 gallon, and no bottom to stop the roots.

Nutrients, A very little cheap generic 12-4-8 (twice so far), and a heaped teaspoonful of pure nitro once when the stalk was about pencil sized. Ha which was only 15 days ago.
Pic from May 30, notice the white on the ground.

The "stumps" are now averaging the size of my thumb. Going to give them another spoonful soon.

I also got some pelletized chicken poop that I may top dress with, again soon (if I do).

EDIT, to add, I just realized I like saying "Pure Nitro" haha. (though in truth is only 36-0-0)

"AWESOME" glad to hear.

No I have not grown it before. I wanted something that leaned toward a sativa buzz for a change, you know more like "the old days". I can't wait.

June 29, Day 70 update.

The outback.

56 inches, I think they would have been bigger, but I near poisoned them to death just after last post.

The rooftop gang.

These plants are awesome, well 3 of the 4 are. Left 40", center 36", and at least as wide. These get full 12 hours direct sun.
The one on the right kind of LSTed itself. The sprout was quit crooked, and I didn't plant it very deep.

In the woods, 59".

In the foreground is sour tang.
These only get barely enough light. It will be better next year.

I used to use those blue recycling boxes myself.

In my case for Rockwool indoors.

Update, day 84.
First I only had managed to get one male from my early weed, and I collected some pollen form it the past couple of days, so there will be an early weed / green crack cross, in hopes of bringing the finishing times of the green crack down a bit, so exciting.


The roof top gang are doing well, I pruned off another couple of gallons of leaves, and small branches. I'm torn to do so, I don't like to "pick" at my plants, inviting disease with every open wound, but I also don't want to grow small shitty buds...what are you going to do ?
Cutting off a big leaf, leaves a big hole.
44 to 51 inches tall

Outback 66-68 inches

In the woods 73 inches, foreground sour tang 5 feet.

And the early weeds setting seed.

Good Luck out there.

Update, Day 91.
Everything humming along.
The outback 75" left, and 72" on the right. Left I call GC#1, and it has at least one more node than any other plant (22 nodes), it's stump is 2" diameter now, my biggest ever with two months to go.

The auto's, about day 70 are finishing up. Note the clone to the right (from GC#1) is growing nicely, and will be coming indoors very soon.

The roof top gang 49 - 54", continuing with the under brushing. I'm going to spread them out a whisker tomorrow, the beauty of planters, eh ?

And in the woods 80", foreground sour tang 68". Had a "super bud" in the woods a couple of years ago that went to 8 feet, I'm hoping to beat that this year with the green crack, and think I might.

Looking good!

Update, day 98 (yesterday)
Flower has begun on a couple...IMO.
The roof top gang 53-58 inches. I did spread them out a bit more, hard to get them all in one shot. I'm pretty much done pruning.

Outback, 79"

 

[tobedetermined]

Very nice. I like your rooftop grow.

I am at 43.5 in Southern Ontario a.k.a. a guaranteed WPM zone. When I saw the autos I thought . . . there is his wpm/budrot insurance grow. . . .

 

[Maple_Flail]

nice lookin plants...

@tobedetermined tri cities area? or closer to the lake? might not be too far from you.. 42.4 here lol

Update, Day 112, 16 weeks.
Got a nice rain yesterday, just in the nick of time as all 3 rain barrels were empty.
Roof top gang 58-64 inches.
I did prune off a bunch more inner bud sites today (small bucket full), thought I was done with that. I don't want small shitty buds taking away from the bigger ones.

Front right (Ms. bent stalk) is most developed, I'd say about 2 weeks into flower.

The outback, foreground is 90". Stumps are getting thick.

The green crack in the woods is 8 feet today, and probably has a bit of growth left as is just starting to flower. Will save the pic. of that till next time.

Green Crack in a Recycling Container !

Brings back memories.

 

[TheUnknownGrowe]

Love the growth you’re getting!
Nice job….

Update, day 133, 19 weeks.
Outback, background 104 inches, flower starting to come along

Roof top gang 60-66 inches, vertical growth pretty much done. Well into flower. I am concerned that they are "yellowing" a bit too much, too fast. I did add some tripple 20 the last couple of waterings, but kind of late to be adding nitro ?

I like how most of the branches of "Ms. bent stalk" are all the same height.

Her buds.

One has the pink/purple pistils.

 

[dirty-joe]

And one more.

And the two in the woods are 9, and 8 feet.
