Journal In Progress: My First Outdoor Grow Journal

[Diatomacious]

Those are gonna be some monsters getting them outside this early. They got a hell of a veg time coming and as big a bucket as you can grow them in being in the ground.

Just finished the last 7 all in bigger pots going to keep them on the other side of the cage. Feeling pretty good about my beauties. Since I had some extra energy I cleaned all the weeds out from the flower bed not sure yet if I’ll toss a few plants against the fence. My cat chewy loves the plants he keeps an eye on them. I’m going to get a ruler tomorrow to see how much the plants grow looks like they are stretching it.

My bad it’s 8 plants not 7 one of the cup had two plants together I slowly separated it not hurting much of the roots hopefully they do good I’ll check on the tomorrow.

Just checking on the last plants I transplanted last night so far looking good just got 2 of them drooping down must be in shock hopefully they come out of it I’ll check on them later today. I usually water my plants out of the water hose I have out in back our house has a water filter system to the house so the water is not too hard. I’ll have to check the levels out later to see what my numbers are. Going to read more about it. I’m trying to take better care of my plants and improve on what I can do better never hurt to ask others what I can do. I’m here to learn and give my plants a good home just need to keep protecting them.

They look good for outdoor plants IMO. If your house has gutters you can place a rain barrel under each (with spillover of course because they will overflow) to catch some rain water... will take the worries out of your tap water dilemma.

Just posting more pictures of my plants just excited they are growing so fast it hasn’t been a week since I put them in a bigger pot.

Yes that’s wild thang he has a problem eating my leaves he can’t go in my cage

 

[Diatomacious]

Start him a patch of catnip... usually stays pretty short 2-3' and has some pretty buds on it in the fall. He'll not be so interested in your plants if he has some of his own. I've seen cats go in a patch and start rolling around having the time of their life. Very similar to growing marijuana and a pack of seeds is only about $3. He looks like the type that would absolutely love it. It's basically weed for cats.

Today is a week since I transplanted my plants to bigger pots. I’m happy they are loving the sun. I’m watering at night time. I haven’t decided which lucky plant I want to grow super huge outside the cage have it’s own spot growing wild and free. I’m juggling with the grape ape and ice cream cake. I want it to become my work of art so he can fluffy and tall.

Just out of curiosity, how many plants do you have? and are you planning on harvesting all these plants by yourself?

I have 42 plants I’m hoping to get help to harvest last year I did it by myself and it was too much work for me. I’m going to harvest one variety at a time just to make sure I don’t mix them around. I don’t mind trimming it’s kinda relaxing for me what gets me is when I have to make meals for the household everyone is grown up no kids at all. My trimming hours are 5am - 10pm I work until I get it done not everyone likes to trim it nice which I like to make clean cuts on it.

Heh the trimming is the worst part. I put something like american dad or aqua teen hunger force on and binge watch it all day while i trim every thing up. But it looks like your going to have pounds upon pounds, and very worth the effort. I really like your set up. No one has walls around there houses around here, and if you put up an enclosure with a lock on it, which is required by law here, any one passing by is going to notice. I have a small creek that goes around my house and it's a few feet lower than the ground that surrounds it, im going to stick two of my plants on 2X4's right over the top of the creek to grow outside, just until the days start getting shorter and i can see what sex they are.

 

[Kikibonds79]

Awesome what kind of plants your going to grow.
