Hello fellow growers,
Today I would like to share with you some pictures of my first ever outdoor grow. It’s 100% legal here in Canada to have 4 plants outside and I have chosen the following strains to grow outdoors for this summer 2021:
Purple Trainwreck by Humboldt Seeds
Blueberry Cookies by Dinafem Seeds
Darkstar by THSeeds
Underdawg by THSeeds
All plants were started from seed and were feminized. Seeds were received in original breeder packs. Plants were started indoors 4-5 weeks before planting outdoors.
Purple Trainwreck by Humboldt Seeds was planted indoors Sunday May 16th 2021
Darkstar by THSeeds was planted indoors Sunday May 16th 2021
Underdawg by THSeeds was planted indoors Sunday May 16th 2021
Blueberry Cookies by Dinafem Seeds was planted indoors Sunday May 23rd 2021
All plants were germinated and planted indoors in a 4X4X8 Gorilla Tent under a 300W LED for the first 2 weeks (May 9th-May23rd)
All plants were grown under a 600W LED for the next 2-3 weeks (May 23rd-June13th)
Plants were all transplanted outdoors June 13th 2021
Outdoor build:
I built an 8X8X1.5 foot wooden box which was able to hold exactly one cubic yard of soil. I worked the soil by hand with an axe, a pick, a pitch fork and a rake (about 1 foot underneath) before I built the box on top. I got rid of all the roots and rocks and loosened the soil a little. I leveled the box using cement bricks. The planter box is about 18inches high.
The soil I used was a custom garden mix from my local supplier. It consists of 40% top soil, 40% black earth and 20% mix of horse manure and mushrooms compost. It was only 35$ for 1 cubic yard and so far the plants are liking it. Next year I would add a few more things to help with drainage, like peat moss for example.
Here’s the first batch of pics for June 13th:
