BeardedMech's Backyard

I’m excited too! So glad I didn’t kill these ones :joy:. Still haven’t received the beans @RainToday sent. I haven’t gotten a couple of my wiki wins either. No big deal either way im super greatful for the stuff I have received. I already feel like I’ve gotten more than I deserve. Who knows though, they may still show up. Only one I’m really upset about is the sweet n sour Cindy pollin from Doug. I really wanted to play with a cross on a branch or two of what I’ll be growing. BOG stuff is what I really want to play with. I do have some yogi pollin from @Pigeonman that will most likely get used.

Your mail was a casualty of my complete overwhelm, I’m very sorry. I’m catching up right now. Your envelope is packed, it’ll be in Mondays mail.

Oh no worries rain! Please don’t feel any obligation. I know how it is. I feel constantly overwhelmed :laughing:.

Well I strike again. Hose fell on AA3 and bent her over. Damage seems minimal, unplanned super cropping I guess. It could be worse. I really need to get the greenhouse organized.

Good news of the day, AA6 is for sure a female! That’s a relief. And the rest of the green house plants are looking good.

Inside things are going great. Blue frankenshine looks great. I topped it over the weekend so I can get more growth for clones to sex. The sour bluetooth is looking healthy, putting out some really wide leaves. Forgot to take pictures but I will return a bit later with pics of the basement

The babies are doing well. We’re down a rotten pineapple. Seedling got stuck in it’s shell and never made it up. But I still have two of them so fingers crossed for a female.

And then here’s all my seedlings. All the zucchini needs to be uppotted. They grow so fast. Was supposed to get this done days ago but it’s been so hard to get motivated. My body hurts and my head is just not in it.

AA 3 has made a nice recovery from the accidental super cropping. Seems to be going well enough I decided to give AA6 a bend as well, but on purpose this time.

Greenhous maters are looking good. Should monsterouse in no time. May dig up one end there to make room for a photo or auto. Haven’t decided yet, poor planning on my part.

Blue frankenshine (left) is looking great as well as the sour bluetooth. they seem to be enjoying the happy frog so far.


Got my labels figured out for my plants. Gonna try and sell a few on the roadside and see if I can make a few bucks. Gotta plant and up pot a lot more plants.
It’s weird seeing a bunch of cartoon versions of myself looking at me.

Thanks! The SBT leaves are super wide. Can’t wait to see what the full plant end up like. Hoping it’s a girl. I’ve been looking at cheap tents on Amazon for sexing and indoor grow during the winter.

Excellent! There’s no way I can grow all I’ve got, much prefer it get spread around, and have a chance to go in the ground. :wink:
No idea how old the ones in the coin flip are, just an fyi. And I’m sure LoveDaAutos would appreciate a tag if you grow his :slight_smile: he was super generous to me, so it only seemed right to split some off.

I don’t care if they’re old, they were free!!! Lol. I’ll probably try and run some of those next season. Who knows, my seed collection keeps growing! Im germing one of the Scarlet grapes now. I was just reading the description for the zamadilica express and it sounds amazing. Definitely cracking those on my next auto run. I plan to tag anyone who’s seeds I run just out of respect to them, I know I would love to see my work in action too. Thank you again rain, your awesome.

Afternoon OG! Update before I get out in the garden today. I got my irrigation system put in. Another cheap Amazon find that worked out well. It’s all quick disconnects so it’s super easy to add and remove sprinklers.

AA6 is filling out nicely. looking healthy and green. The ferts I bought seem to be doing well. Not giving off any smells yet, I miss that fresh weed smell. My wife wouldn’t stop calling me “finger sniffer” because I would just smell my resin coated fingers after I was in the garden.

AA3 is begining to stretch more and is looking promising.

Rest of the garden is looking good. The potato tower is sprouting, lettuce is looking healthy. Something ate some of my broccoli and Brussels sprouts starts. My fault for not closing the gate I guess. Otherwise everything is going well other than being a bit behind schedule.

Well disaster has struck AA3 again. The surprise super cropping damage was apparently worse than I had noticed. Not sure if Layla(my dog) walked by and knocked it or it just went by it own. Looking at the break it seems it was just barely hanging on to begin with. Oh well, better it fell now instead of when it was all fat with flower. Now she can focus her energy elsewhere.

That’s a bummer, but she’ll recover straight away from that. You won’t even notice it’s missing in a month or two. :sunglasses:

We’re on a much needed weekend vacation on a lake. It’s cold but God I love the silence of nature. No noisy nosey neighbors, no sirens going off, no choir of neighborhood dogs barking. Just the wind in the trees and the bird and bullfrogs. I need to move

At any rate this is how I left the garden. Let’s see how two days on its own looks. I filled all the flats trays with water to help keep em from drying out. Everytbing got well watered and the afghanis got some top dress flower nutes and a root soak of some fox farm I had left from last year. Pretty happy with how wleverythings going. Now here’s some pictures, I need to deal with this hangover before the kid is up. Forgot to take pics of the rest but here ya go!

Just went through the woods on an ATV with my daughter. She giggled like crazy the whole way. The silence of nature coupled with a child’s laughter is just perfect.
