Outdoor '09-In the Pit...

[mistisrising]

Ok, so I never started a journal for this years outdoor. I have a spot I'd like to document, it's been trouble in the past with bud rot, so this year I invested in some AMS (anti-mold strian) from greenhouse, and some kaya (mold resistant, bred for "leavers") from nirvana. Out of the kaya's, I have a trifoliate and it's growth is dwarfing the other. I couldn't capture it since I didn't have a lense with me, but the triploid is looking weirder now. The three branches coming from the same growth is splitting up so that two stay together and one is a half inch or so above, and the nodes are growing branches without topping. If this ends up to be any kind of good stuff I may have to clone it for next year. The ams' must be two different phenos, because one is taller and more sativa looking, while the other is shorter and already budding pretty good. Pics to follow, each one will be labeled accordingly.

As a bonus, you'll get to see a kali mist also. It did the best of all of them in this area last year. It doesn't get quite the sun it needs, but even with a little rot last year, it still yeilded over two ounces. I'm hoping the other two strains will dwarf it, we'll see.

Looking great, I dont know what to tell you bout pheno's, but I love outdoor journals. She looks to be a real healthy plant. Sounds like fun watching her, with those ploids and all.
Good Growing...
want to pull up a chair and watch....the grass grow.

Haven't needed to go out and water, but I had to feed so I snapped a few pics. The trifoliate is a female, and I checked her pretty good for nanners, but I didn't find any. I checked the ams pretty good also. I've been reading some pretty bad stuff about GHS on other boards. A lot of people are getting hermies out of their seeds. But, I've seen several journals that turned out well also. Just have to wait and see.

I had a couple of babies that I shocked pretty bad by putting them out in the sun from 24hrs on indoor. They started to flower, then recognized the outside light was getting longer, and then went into shock. That was in june, the first one to show signs of life wasn't till the third week of july. So, that's where the little one's in some of the pics came from. The one is actually producing trichromes already. I don't know if they'll yeild, but I'm glad to see them join the show.

looking nice!
i did same thing, shocked the **** outa them when i put them outside, was like 1 1/2 months before they were on track again!

I use it for all the animals. In the beginning of the year I keep the top closed to keep the deer from eating it, also. I used to use the green coated square stuff, but if mice find it, they eat at the stems like a beaver cutting down a tree. Ground hogs give me trouble also. I had to break out a bottle of bleach a few years ago. I had four plants about a month from done, and a g hog ate one. You can tell because they eat everything but the buds, they were all just sitting on the ground trimmed up nice. So I dumped a bottle of bleach in his hole, and I got the other three without incident.

spider mite webs...be vigilant...take no prisoners.:holysheep:

 

[mistisrising]

Thanks man, I saw that too. There are a lot of spiders on my plants this year, but I didn't see any mites. Maybe I should just treat 'em anyway, but I'm always scared to evict the spiders. After all they eat everything else. I'll have to check the leaves for eggs.

Hello Mist

I see no mite activity, many things can cause that colouration.

Have you checked to see if you have a mite problem?

Great looking plants, I know how difficult it can be growing outside.

Have you checked to see if you have a mite problem?

No, but this is the first time I've grown femmed seeds outside, so I checked 'em pretty good for male flowers. I figure if there was anything, I'd have seen it. We do get them around here sometimes, but I don't see them every year.

 

[ZTEC]

Do you get the seeds sent to your house where you grow? I am in desperate need of a new strain but to scared to order them because I am growing here and have no where to send them otherwise. Just askin. Thanks

 

[mistisrising]

I don't grow in my home, so I don't worry about having them sent here. If you are growing at your address, then find a single friend or a relative who will let you get something sent there. Nirvana has the best stealth out of all of the banks I've used. Wouldn't have known it was what it was if it wasn't international mail. And, every package has come completely different from the one before it.

It's been raining like a mofo around here, so I haven't been out to see them. Some of them are supposed to be done this month, so I went out to look. Everything seems on target, but none of them look like they'll be done till the end of this month. The Anti-Mold Strain had a rotten bud on it, so much for that. Greenhouse seeds suck!

My trifoliate kaya is crushing it's sister in growth, my only concern is that I didn't clone it before flower, so I'll have to try at the end. Anyone have any tips to cloning a plant in full flower? I know its tricky, I just figure if I take a bunch, one of them has to live.

Pics in order: AMS1, AMS2, trifoliate kaya, kaya, two in one cage, and then a bunch of bud porn. One of the pics shows weird spotting on the leaves of the smaller kaya, anyone know what that could be? I checked for bugs, but I think it's a deficiency.

 

[mistisrising]

Oh yeah, almost home...

Nice ones!!!

Just as a side note: I went to check on a small patch out of state today. It used to be a farm, but all the land has been developed, and the original structures are now engulfed in bushes. I put five in to see how the area would do. Three died, and I had a thai/hazeXsuperskunk freebie from the attitude, and a guerillas gusto left. Good rain this year, so I've only been in there three times, but I went to see if the GG was done. Both were gone. The real shame isn't the GG, but the thai. It was three stalks, over six feet tall, but it was probably just fuzzy sticks, the other one I have is just starting to bud. They got grams off of a 6+ footer. Musta been kids, you could see where they were hanging out at, then the paths from them looking around. But anyone who knows anything about weed, would have let me get the little one to get the big one later on. I mean, duh.

I was out yonder this weekend and took a couple of pics. Everything looks small except for the kali mist. I pulled one little one, but it's drying somewhere else, so I have no photo.

The AMS's are bullshit. Both of them came up with rot, one lost a branch, and one is starting in the main cola. The second is the most done, but I'll have to take them both this coming weekend to avoid the first one rotting out.

The kaya's look to be a week or ten days behind them. Both look good, and the trifoliate is towering over the other one, but I couldn't get a pic with the wind. Some of the bud pics may be blurry from the wind also. But I got a couple of branches to hold still.

The kali is the only one doing really well. 5+ feet tall, with six main branches really starting to put on weight. The thing with kali, the whole branch will be bud, as far as the sun will reach. I got a different pheno than what I'm used to, and it doesn't have that signature kali smell. It kinda has me worried what it will be like, but it's growing identical to the ones before, so I'll chill out and watch it bulk up.

 

[mistisrising]

Kali mist.

 

[mistisrising]

I got my phone to cough up a couple more pics. The plant is the two stunted ones in the same cage. I think the bud shots are from a single plant I haven't posted pics of before.
