Crawdaddy's 2014 Summer Outdoor Season

[Crawdaddy]

Hi all!

Welcome to my 2014 Summer Outdoor Journal!

I have a 10'X10' Greenhouse that I grow my plants in, for my climate you need greenhouse or have bad mold problems from rain near harvest time.

My current (evolving as always) plan is as follows...

9 Autoflowers, first foray into auto flowers, as of now they about 3 weeks old. I got the Buddha Assorted Femenized auto pack, 10 seeds, 8 lived this far, one i planted a week or two later. I am hoping they finish by July.

2-3 Big photoperiod plants in Soil. Using a Promix HP mix with Fine Dolomite and Ancient Forest added. Using GO nutrients as of now.

For now I have a Blueberry that is going to be HUGE if not go into flower from out to early...

And 2 of these, these are 2 critical clones flanking a flower bomb kush clone. Probably pick the FBK and one critical. Their mothers are part of my mother plant hunt. They had be relegated to corner of grow room due to space so some got a bit stretchy, I super cropped her over. Everything looking like a healthy start.

I will also be adding two clones growing 'Cap'n Style' in rockwool cubes, outdoor hydro baby!!!, have a clone of Barneys Vanilla Kush and Barneys Crimea Blue. Update on them in next few days. the BVK was having issues but she coming around, the BCB is starting to get a great base.

Subbed!

Subbed.
I'm doing an outdoor too this year. I never thought about autos outdoors. Guess it makes sense they finish up sooner correct?

 

[b.real]

he should get crazy good growth if sun is strong (supposed to be) and he makes sure to keep critters and disease away take precautions make sure to never wet foliage

Welcome everybody, hopefully I will provide some good pictures/ideas along the way.

With regards to autos outdoors, this my first attempt with them, but the idea is to have a mid summer harvest. Thinking they be nice buds too because will be forming with the most intense/longest light of the year. But we shall see, most of them have shown sex, one is starting to form buds, I think.

Thanks Pinky!

Well be doing photo update this weekend. Photo updates only every weekend for a while on this grow till things get humming along more mid-late summer.

I'm here for the show. Don't think I can ever grow outdoors but will be fun to follow. I've been thinking of building a green house so you never know. Good luck with the grow.

Here is the weekly photo update!

The Autoflowers are doing their thing, gotten ALOT bigger in a week. Starting to bud, all females as expected so far. One in back middle, yellow and yucky looking, probably going to get culled, for some reason never been healthy, remember other small one is weeks behind.

The Blueberry is growing along, no signs of flower yet, so hopefully did not put out too soon, been sunny all week till last few days, a few days of showery weather then 70s and 80s and sunny all week.

The Flowerbomb Kush surrounded by two Criticals. Probably keep left Critical and the FBK, they all got topped a few days bask, the left Critical is being pulled over and pinched few times a day she being stubborn about standing up straight.

Now that I look at pictures side by side, noticeable growth on EVERY plant

Autos, outdoors, with manipulations; good show man.

I have moved the two plants that will be an outdoor hydro experiment. A Barneys Vanilla Kush and Crimea Blue clone, growing 'Cap'n Style'.

The BVK is on the left, BCB on right. They are looking a bit beat up cause i just did beat them up pretty good, they where too bushy before, so removed some leaves/lower branches. and pulled down bigger branches.

Is growing in a greenhouse considered a true 'outdoor' grow?

LOL i guess it depends on who you ask. 'open air' is that better?

Aw shit, I noticed my neighbor peering over my fence, hmmm... I don't know her that well, so.... I've gotta screen things off.
