So I moved into a new house in Long Beach after 16 years of apartment dwelling and decided to start a backyard grow, as my new yard seemed to be perfect. I am starting with clones from dispensaries as I didn't want to start from seed this time. The last time I attempted an outdoor grow was 1986 and nosey neighbors, theft, and general cluelessness ended in zero final product. Given I was only 20 at the time and there wasn't too much available literature on the subject, I figured 30 years later and an over-abundance of references at my disposal, not the mention, the legality issues, it's time to give a proper shot at this
Clones were purchased on June 6th and were left outside for 2 days and then planted in several grow mixtures as an experiment
The strains are:
2 Cookie Tonic
1 GDP
1 Rascal O.G.
1 Banana O.G.
1 Blue Dream
I'm using this converted magliner to chase the sun while it circumnavigates the backyard, maintaining direct sunlight from about 8am to 6pm
This is one of the cookie tonics the second day after I planted it into soil
This is the Cookie tonic after being transplanted into a 3 gallon smart pot containing Happy Frog soil and Grow rocks, she also got topped today, well actually fimmed, accidentally
This is the top view of the GDP which is in a mixture of Happy Frog, peat moss, grow rocks, and compost
This is the Banana OG which also is planted in a mix of Happy From, grow rocks, compost, peat moss,and left over garden soil. I also did a bit of LST using a wire hanger to promote bushyness and reduce vertical growth which I will be doing in some form with everything
The Rascal OG isn't looking so hot, it is in the same mix as the Banana OG
Lastly the Blue Dream, which is in the same mixture as the GDP. I topped her today as well to encourage horizontal growth
All plants are in fabric 3 Gallon pots
The last 2 weeks have been June Gloom with almost no actual sunshine, but the Sun finally came out yesterday and continued to shine all day today, which in turn made a huge difference.
Watering every other day and I started A Fox Farm nutrient regiment last week of Grow Big and Big Bloom
Thanks for viewing and I'll continue to update!
