Dendro's Outdoor Grow 2022

My wife tried it once, and it was Alaska weed that almost too much for even me. She did not enjoy it. I suggested things like CBD and CBG for her, but those can cause a drug test to come up hot, and her employers frown on that, to say the least. It’ll be off Schedule 1 soon enough, though…

Right on man, I’m getting ready to make 2 batches 30 brownies with 12.5 MG of Bubba Kush in each brownie. I decarb 1/2 gram of shatter and infuse in Avocado oil in the oven for 30 mins on 200* Everyone loves the Bubba Kush. I use Ghirardelli brownie mix Triple fudge or Dark chocolate :sunglasses: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :peace_symbol: I make them 12.5 MG each so my peeps can enjoy a whole brownie in a sitting if they want. Most can only still eat maybe a half lol

Hellz yeah brother, I needed a good recipe for gummiez, never made em b4 but will definitely be tryin your recipe soon :yum: maybe in-between a batch or two of caramels, my usual go to. Those can be alittle too good though, hard not to eat em all right out the bag. Im sure the gummiez will be similar for me, I have issues man!

Just finished breaking down these last few tops of the Don Johnson this afternoon…


And with that, the DJ is now complete and just waiting on the rest of the Snowfire Kush to finish up with like another week or two to go, almost done!

While on a walk today, one of the dogs found this little female Eastern Box Turtle that was the most beautiful reddish tan color, took some pictures and left her where she was, also released the adults from the pen the other day, everyone getting ready for winter…


Took another couple of ounces off the Snowfire today, just steady chipping away at her, she is finally chunking up and glamming out a bit more…

Looking good man! I’m stuck at the airport with a delayed flight. Love the turtle pic and Brownie story. I’ve been talking to my other half about it, maybe this weekend I make some :grin:

Glad you enjoyed my friend and hopefully you are unstuck from the airport? How is the garden, faired well I hope? I’ll have to go check for an update…All is well here. I certainly recommend the brownies but maybe not so much herb next time for us since I know the better half might try one, they were alittle too strong for her, she called in slick from work the next day and now my tolerance is through the freakin roof. Been taking breaks to level back out, been lazy as hell lol but a pan of brownies is always a lot of fun, all edibles are! I just dont know how people can make them and not eat em all like me?

So check out the ‘BBF’ getting all tie dyed, every single morning and then again about twice a day she changes colors on me, if I didnt know better, Id think something was wrong but she seems all good and def plumping up still, thinking I’ll get about four ounces total but I bet she could put out at least two or three times that if grown and trained right, maybe more…


there might be abit of nute issues there but I think she really is this colorful, the smell is getting very unique and just from touching a leaf or a stem, the smell is all over you and good luck shaking it off, not that you’d want to, its like a sour gummie bear/rotten banans mixture if Im being overly descriptive but a real sweet and sour funk that literally is taking over my whole house, the Don Johnson half pound in one of the bedrooms isnt helping when I open the grove bag to make sure its not molding, I did package it up alittle early, best to make sure everything is all good, Im having a hard time trusting these new bags but they do seem to work great. The Don is super potent and straight onions and garlic, another real heavy smell in there too, like Dad’s "Old Spice’ or something wierd like that though am not particularly great at identifying smells, trying to define them seems difficult at least, but in the end, they all are smelling great, that is 100% for sure! Its wierd how I’ll smell one that might seem unique but then when I check the others, I can always at least place that same smell, just not as intense, but its always hard to lock down a smell until Ive found something with that particular dominant profile, if that makes any sense? Once I find it, then I cant unfind it. That seems to be whats going on with the new terps, I smell them super heavy in one strain but I can still identify the same terps elsewhere, just not as intense. Maybe that made more sense, I hope…lol…hard stuff to descride, smells…but I have faith in my homies to hear/feel what Im sayin…if not, hey, happy rambling and hopefully welcome home to our buddy @FieldEffect :blush:
Catch yall later! :v:

Free of the airport, and courtesy of my poached hash brownies last night also free from stress in general this morning.

She definately looks pretty! I love the fades as my plants are traversing the cannabis rainbow. Sour gummy bear and rotten banana. I feel like the cannabis community is the only place you could describe that smell and have people thinking that smells good. But it does.

You using those Boveda bags? They seem to work well for me, much less work than curing in jars where burping is a somewhat bigger issue. Don sounding tasty as well. I feel like I’m bad at identifying odors and certainly describing them is an even weaker point. I’ve been trying to do a halfway decent job describing the smells because I haven’t seen decent grow logs of most of the strains I’m running - so now there is one, and hopefully makes someone want to try one of the cultivars. Also, it’s just good practice to try and identify smells deliberately.

I’m beggining to suspect I do the same thing. I really smell burnt rubber on that Avenue of the Giants, and now also on the Snow-G. I don’t know if it’s real or just my mind playing tricks on itself.

Aye, good to hear man and a batch of brownies will surely ease the aches and pains of traveling, Im thinking of doing something today, might just keep it simple and do some caramels but feeling lazy this weekend already, so we’ll see…
The color change is certainly surprising me, Ive never seen one change this often, just so fast, probably going to take her sooner than later, at least she isnt causing me to worry about much, kind of glad shes not a monster as Im getting tired and ready for a break. If you would like, I could probably get some of the next gen to you for your spring grow? I’m hoping to get two rounds of indoor in before spring and would appreciate seeing them grown out by someone else. I get you probably have your picks made but if youd be interested lmk! If all goes well, they wont take up too much space or time.
I do use the boveda packs, have had a few of them gifted to me and still use them in the jars, I like them alot too. So far the grove bags are really killing it though, would like to see ‘grove jars’ sometime in the future…
All these smells are swirling around and its just so delicious :yum: Id love to see what terps are predominant in my favorite foods and such, then attempt to breed towards those combinations to find new flavors of smoke.
Well, back out to the shed for me too, so close yet so far away…

Happy Harvesting Everyone!

Glad to see things are coming along!

Finished trimming the Avenue this morning, glad to be done with that. I’m going to buy a big cooler to keep these bags in for the closet, keep them stable temp and lock it to keep the kiddo out.

Totally agree about breeding for what you like, part of my reason for growing so much this season was to learn what I actually like. I still don’t even know other than the fruity I’ve been enjoying and I like the idea of Photo-Auto hybrids finishing by September.

I’ll definitely let you know if I think I can grow it! Really depends now how many I think I can manage next harvest time. I may just keep some of them small by planting in June. That would definitely let me do more plants with less stress come this time of year :rofl:

Yeah brother, just feels good to be through most of it, yet I personally seem to have trouble letting go of the grow. And a good thing, because its weird, the rest of the Snowfire has really been making up for lost time, we should have a light frost soon here and there but Im just recently seeing a crazy new layer of trichs starting to build up on her. Just happy about that because she has been so much work but hasnt really produced the best bud, maybe she will show out after all, alot left on her still.
Always a great feeling to be done with a plant or a grow, can be bitter sweet though. I’ll have to check what you still have going, but man the colors on some of your recent pics are insane! A cooler full of big juicy colorfull buds beats a cooler full of beers any day. Well done man! Just dont keep it in the garage, them damn kids and their garage hopping ways…lol…good call on the lock, should help for multiple culprits, Im sure people have walked in on their kids attempting to eat the goods, but dogs and especially cats too, my cat growing up would love a cannabis treat but I think its actually good for cats, they seem to have a different but somewhat similar reaction than us but with fresh un decarbed flower, its weird. Ive heard that cannabis is related to catnip and I believe it, seems to be pretty much the same thing to them. Not sure why I started talking about all this…lol…I dont recommend giving weed to animals without the proper research, thats just my honest past experience with cats breaking into bags and chewing on leaves. She would start purring like crazy and rolling around all spaced out and I had to keep it locked up or she’d chew and slobber on all of it…lol…Smokey was her name, beautiful purple-gray cat. Wish I had a pic but that was at least twenty years ago. Anywho, twas one last ramble for the road I guess…
So I think I’m gonna be f2ing the Banana Berry Muffins x Double smile photo/auto hyrids on my next grow, probably gonna be taking a break from online posting for awhile. Gonna really focus and take my time on this one. Am getting another tent going so that should help speed things along, am confident I’ll be able to get em to f3 by April. I’ll be sure to check in and see how everyone is doing, I cant express how much I appreciate your time and friendship throughout this grow and that goes for all here. A very kind group of folks :grinning: My phone has been overloaded with data again so have not been able to take pictures as often as I like and without pics a journal just doesnt work very well, ya know? Ill try and get it sorted out but in the meantime, I pray everyone is living their best life and not sweating the petty stuff. Just pet the sweaty stuff, right?
Happy Growing, Happy Harvesting!

Till next time, Dendro​:v::purple_heart:

Alcohol extraction works really well for getting the most THC out of your trim. Just be sure to decarb it before putting it into edibles.

It’s a good day when the colors of your buds match those of your sunset. Very nice.

Another good thing about growing is that you may start out with a particular goal, but there is no telling where your adventure may lead. For example, this year we grew about 7 types of basil. One of the 20 or so Holy Basil seeds grew into a purple plant. All of the other seeds were green, and even a couple of seeds from that plant were green. What began as growing different varieties of basil turned into my first ever pheno hunt, with the goal isolating the purple gene in the basil. Growing any type of plant can become quite an adventure.

Hey brother, was just checkin in for abit, seeing what peeps were up to and saw all the love you sent, much appreciated and right back at ya brother :heart:, I get the feeling others can relate with this seasonal depression thing, we hate it! It gets worse every year and especially since Ive been really plugged into this local outdoor environment, just glad Im plugged in around here too when I need a pick me up…hope all is well with you brother, you might not have hit the cold too much yet? Getting any hunting in?
We’ve still got this big ass Snowfire Kush going outside, I’m really glad I crossed the BBM to her mom earlier this spring, shes so big and strong but could use a bit of glam…


She’s getting glossy and swollen, her lowers that were taken throughout the last two weeks or so, just gave me this the other day, ice water bubble, it’s 100% melt, this 70 micron batch dried almost overnight it’s so oily…

The Don Johnson has such huge heads it needed more agitation but its close to full melt…

Not sure if Im gonna refine further but knowing myself, you know I will!
Here is the Banana Berry Muffins x El’Chemi Kiwi getting even prettier if you can believe it…

A drying nug from the second harvest of bbm x eck at 82 days, the rest is going for another week till 90 or so…

And the CURE for the pre-winter time blues…Four out of four popped and already twice as big, little ones can move!

Settled on two Banana OG x Strawba the Hutt(Sour Strawberry Kush by BOG is in that one, I felt the synchronization big time when I read that) and two more beans from that same girl, just a different stud…lol…so two Fiona’s Chem Cake x Strawba the Hutt also made this round. Im gonna see how many of the photo x auto sets I can get through this cold season, just to get an idea of what’s what, and once it warms up, hopefully will have something Fast and BIG and of course its gotta be too legit to quite in ALL areas, then next season I can check out how they do outdoors, that is the true goal here. Big Strong Fast plants that are also extra tasty, potent and colorful as well as consistently ready by late spring/early summer yet will also be cold and wet compatible, I mean, our journey has began! Wish us luck brother!

I hope and pray that all is good with you and yours and hey, thanks for checking in, Ive missed posting and chatting with you and the rest of the good folks here(even though its only been like three or four days…lol) Ive been calming myself, focusing my energy and working towards balance as I get through these funky fall feelings. Always Best wishes to all the Fam here :v: :heart:

What did you mean by glam?

Oh, just the bag appeal and fragrance overall, the stuff that catches the eye, if its good its good but after experiencing all the different terps and color ranges, I enjoy as much unique expressions as possible. I love the snowfire, dont get me wrong, has some sweet hashy hints to her, not any color but thats not as important, just pretty ya know? All in the eye of the beholder. But her frame is to die for, very solid branching and her hash is Excellent, I had no idea…I love her! These last few weeks she just blew up, after she got healthy again.

So if I had her but with some color and some more fragrance, would be nice… thats what were hoping for. I doudt I’ll get to those particular beans for awhile, Ill be sure to post em when I do though, pictures speak louder than words lol should be pretty :heart_eyes:
