Hello i thought id stop invading threads and post plants. havent grown myself in maybe 5 years and another few before that. Lots of false starting and just trying to forget for a while. anyways usual stuff this year but attempting to give it a go still. im aware the photos may not finish in time but its ok.
Saw the success with the octopots and octopups and thought i had to try it outside. We usually get not a drop of rain from now til september, maybe one light rain shower the whole summer, so lets hope this year isnt the aberration.
I didnt really see anyone plant straight into the octos so gave it a go with two OGKZ fem autos from HSO into the pups with Tupur as the medium because more moisture transfer sounds good to my simple brain.
They were up in 24 hrs with the medium bone dry on the one that popped first, seemingly already drawing from the res which is half full with a light dose of Texas Tomato Food. you will notice a theme in who/what im copying throughout.
at first light today:
they seem alive and drinking from below i guess. pretty excited about the applications for autos with the pots if this experiment works on the pups.
I will hopefully be planting these clones from @sun-clone that i got what must be weeks ago some day before its too late but its been a real struggle to get this one guy to show up to finish a fairly simple job in that area of the yard. hopefully tomorrow i guess. every single day he says hes coming every day no response except for one or two next day some excuse repeat cycle. out of my hands but its a real shame because all these genetics fit my medical profile so im excited about growing them especially in the full size octopots.
The clone subjects are:
Purple Queen - back row (1 for a pup, 1 for a pot)
Oregon Diesel - front left (pot)
Black Dog - front right (pup) * this theoretically could be the earliest finisher
City life is not condusive to growing bud outside, you either have to shove it in everyones face and tell them to fuck off or hide it from the kids and then people just come through and treat it like a petting zoo. oh well lol.
More shorter plants, timed+staggered harvests i think would keep the deep stench down come sep/oct in the neighborhood and keep them out sight, there are tons of young families in this area.
very high thc intake is a good way to not lose it on people with no ettiquite.
some randoms from the garden:
pinot noir
young lime
never grown peppers before, never seen the upside down leaf thing
cucumbers and a watermelon - the melon needs more sun that it wont get
other melons
just starting to bulk up, of course im trying the texas tomato food on them
and my favorite, golden pineapple sage
Thank you to the sr members here, the admins and mods who run this site, and everyone who i learned from and/or (attempted to) emulate in any way. these methods and products are nearly completely influenced by this forum - a lot appropriated from @Jetdro, @Papalag and @ifish but also the octopup folks @GrouchyOldMan, @firehead and @SaintAliasKnife and many others.
Feel free to criticize in whatever format neccessary and discuss anything. you can come by and rant at me if need be, i can take it.
All the best and
Grow Big Buds.
