Greenhouse Girls: Gelato, Super Skunk, Blueberry 420 & An Afghani

[Bush Doctor 77]

Got all my girls in the dirt in the greenhouse. Pix in order: Gelato(a month younger than others, and went into the ground today) BB 420, S. Skunk, Afghani.

Soil: very, very sandy loam, augmented with peat, aged chicken manure, used Sunshine #4 from grows, and organic fertilizer from Wally World. The Last 3 have been in the ground for 3 cold, damp weeks. 2 year crop rotation. The larger plants are buried 6 inches deeper than when in the pot. I think this helps prevent drying out?? I love how greenhouse plants follow the sun when they are thriving. The condition of the fertilizer bag shows what cats thought of it when I left it on the porch.

Gelato seeds feminized from Crop King, 100% germinated and grew into female, 4 planted, 2 phenos, very short Indica type, and what is more a hybrid looking.

Others were normal seeds from Amsterdam Seed Company. Germination only 70%, 30 seeds planted and the more Indica phenos are in the greenhouse. Nicest extra males and females in pollination now. 3 BB 420 and one S Skunk in flower under 1000w HPS and I will have a taste around July 15th.

To be honest, it was unproven Bruce Banner cross that had less than desired qualities. She was pretty, but she couldn't cook!

Just gave them a bath. In order of pix Gelato, Blueberry 420, Super Skunk, Afghani. The Afghani is diggin' on the warm days.

Better pix. My girls are greeting the sun in the morning. The T-posts indicate optimism on my part!

Beautiful plants Doc! They seem to be in perfect health Nice indica girl on the first pic, what strain is she? You’ve got a good variety to play with

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

That Indica is a Gelato. It's about 3 weeks behind the others. I popped 4 seeds, and 2 were Indica phenos, and two hybrid type. I put one Indica into seed with some males, and the other in the greenhouse. The 2 hybrid, I just put into flower under a 1000w HPS.

Looking good! Is the fencing around the plants to keep out critters? I'm guessing the t-post is for support.

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Fencing is for the critters while the plants are still small. I remove it when they get bigger because it's too hard to cultivate with the fencing. I decided to go to t-posts for a first time this year. Last year I had a huge plant collapse about a week and a half before prime. I had it all tied up with bamboo, but it still gave way, fell over, and every branch broke.

Hey @Bush Doctor 77 ... they look so incredible when growing naturally outside! Awesome work!

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Girls wanted their pix taken this morning. Gitting some grasshopper damage, but minor. Also burnt them a bit with neen, and you can see the leaf curl from that.

Hey Bush Doc, how are the girls doing?
They must be huge by now!

I just chopped them up a bit. My bud with the dispensary wanted some clones for his new 2 acre outdoor grow, so he took several dozen cuttings. Topped the Afghani because it's getting too high pic 1. Then the S Skunk, BB 420 and Gelato.

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Here's more pix. Just topped the BB 420, and worked some organic fertilizer into the soil. That may be the last time with a balanced fertilizer. I've got some high P bat guano for the bloom. I don't have to worry too much about K in my alkali soil. I took some stem pix for reference. My greenhouse is 8 feet at the peak.
