Welcome to my 2011 season outdoor-grow.
I hope to end it better than last year, where I left it abandonded.
Reason - the sky had nothing but water for me throughout august and september, which got me so much but rot I couldn't motivate myself to keep you updated. I still had a nice harvest none the less, just smaller than desired.
Well I'm back in the saddles with some ideas I want to try out this season, I have made my own version of airpots and filled them with sphagnum and hydroton mixed a couple of Basacote plus 16-8-12 6 mth. and 2 nirvana flowertabs in each box. I'm also giving them some duck-manure desolved in water.
I've built a blackbox so that it is possible to force the plants to develop flowers and hopefully get more sun and less rain this way.
I'm trying out Nirvanas White Rhino and New York Power Diesel, 5 feminized of each strain. Every seed germinated and is still alive and kicking.
I also got 8 seed from a bag of "Bio-Haze" which I don't know.
I vegged em for a three weeks time, and today they are 10 days into 12/12.
The biggest I LSTed and the tallest of those also got fimmed.
Well here is the first set of pictures, the two type of containers I'll play with. Green ones are local milkcrates lined with insectnet to keep the medium in the crate and still provide plenty of air.
The other is a commercial avaiable basket made of braided wood, should have enough airholes to do the job
Here my blackbox:
Here's one peaking up:
Getting bigger:
The black soil bag has no hydroton in it but the same nutes. It was severely stabbed by a screwdriver to mimic an airpot, and 4 Biohaze were germinated two weeks later than the rest:
Here a better look at the insectnet:
Following pics are from earlier today, several of plants showed sex already, no males in the 8 BioHaze plants yet, but two definate girls.
And the obligatory shot - whit hairs of sweetness:
the leaf-damage is slug-signatures
