I've never had much luck with autos outside so I'm looking forward to you knocking it out of the park!

Hey @con

Good luck on the outside grow buddy. Where in the world are you growing?

I'd like to know what sort of weather format your working with for this time of year?

Love the Bastard strains - Blue Bastard is one of my all time favourites!

Ill keep an eye for this one if you don't mind.

Thanks Shed phone reception is slow out here & 420 mag using a cell phone is different than the home computer so trying to figure out, hopefully they do good as the season here is short so a photo period would be questionable which sucks as I wanted to try those CGB seeds I picked up but hopefully this fall

Thanks don't mind at all I'm still pretty green LOL pun intended, area is manitoba Canada around Bissett area north east of winnipeg , my first real outdoor grow with a little indoor experience

 

[StonedCrumpet]

Lol. I guess your high end temps aren't getting very high, for Canada? I can see it actually going alright considering it doesn't get ridiculously cold but still sees alot of sunlight at the same time - those conditions would permit a real slow grow, I feel.

Have you popped the seeds?

Some pics would be awesome....

I hear ya LOL, my sister lived in Hayward Heith just south of London she likes the weather here better except the winters

Two thoughts:

First is to tear off the peat when you upcan. Those things do biodegrade over time but not on the time frame we grow in. And they will definitely restrict a percentage of the roots.

Second is I hope you have a good anti-pest regimen in place !

 

[StonedCrumpet]

Awesome. I can see the Gelato is just about sneaking out too. The fun begins!

That set up looks cool!

Had to chuck the fishing pic aswell love it!

Happy growing

Shed, the whole pest thing completely skipped my mind! What a good shout, I guess this would be the main problem to tackle growing outside, so vulnerably. That and the weather anyway....

Yeah the peat pots will be removed, just have sticky bug pads for now you have any suggestions? NEEM oil ? Dish soap & water? Also have a 12 gauge for bigger pests Lol

 

[StonedCrumpet]

I've only ever grown indoors, and even then I've not really come up against any pests worth worrying about. Touch wood lol

If Shed cant I'm sure there's a few on here that will offer some good advice for you dude

When I. Used to do guerilla grows I found the best thing for deer was to uncoil a bunch of 6-8 lbs test fishing line around the grow, to about 18 inches high,at night the deer can’t see it and it gets wrapped on their feet and they don’t like it. I use lite crest line so it didn’t hurt/cut the deer’s legs. There are other options if you like venison!!! The worst were rabbits and pack rats, had to put wire cages around the base of the plant.

NEEM oil ? Dish soap & water?

Neem is great until you see pistils. After that go with Spinosad (if it's available in Canada), Safer insect killing soap spray (rinse after it dries) and Dr Bronner's unscented Castile soap spray.

The deer here are pretty scarce usually don't come around the camp area not worried about rabbits even more scarce & my 2 cats both about 18 pounds each keep the rest of the critters away, I'm actually having deer for supper I dropped a decent sized buck & doe last fall Mmmm!
