Tutankhamon & Pineapple Chunk Outdoors In Massachusetts

[StoneOtter]

Today it's drying up some. Buds are budding. Birds chirping. I can't believe there's only flowering time left! October 11 to 20 i'm told is when first frost usually happens here. Are you kidding me? This is almost real. Another 3 or 4 weeks and i'll be a believer and buy jars. Hopefully lots of them. I still don't feel comfortable letting go and letting nature take care of the girls. I have a little voice in my head saying they need this or that, but I can't feed them because they're already wet. Come on sun lets work together here. Good thing I fortified the soil the way I knew how when I could.

Hiya stoneotter,

Ladies are looking mighty big. Nice job. At first, I thought you were growing autos, because my head is stuck on autos now. Trying to figure out if I can grow enough stash with a med card and 12 autos. I need to monitor herb usage this year. Having trouble maturing bud on the stalk due to budrot season. Considering switching over to hybrids to get mature bud, unless I can get by on autos. A little NE of you.

Hey Bode, 12 autos can grow into a bunch. I grow both depending on how I feel and what I have in the jars for assorted meds. I like to have some indica and some sativa for different times of day and pain levels were having or just the fun of a good buzz. Am I glad the suns out again today! Thats something I haven't had to concern myself with in the tent. The outdoor garden gave me a whole other list of things to think about. Some of which I have no control over. I think I like it.

The suns been out most of the day! Halalulia! sp.

It's been 11 days of almost no care from me due to rain. I suppose I could be happy I didn't have to do any thing. Letting Mother Nature do her thing is frustratiing! Watching rain only going into the pot to leach all the goodness away is the movie I see playing in my mind. She does still look healthy so I'll hold tight. Not so concerned for the one in the ground proper. I think it's a good thing I had happy soil to begin with, now I got to get a break to recharge and feed "the herd" as I've heard said.

Had to eradicate a katydid on tut today. Thats some hand picked bugging there. I don't see many bugs that big in the yard. It was perfectly camo. like a leaf. Barely saw it. Not much sun today but no rain! Another day to dry out. Thanks @Preston9mm and @MiOutdoorsman

 

[StoneOtter]

What the hell! Is it ever going to stop raining? One more day then sun. I'm concerned with the tut on the ground getting too big for her confines and running out of fuel.

Thats is it!! Suns out I'm going in!
I fed my dear girls today with 10ml biothrive bloom/gal, 2ml camag/gal, 3ml fish shit/gal, 1tbsp/gal molasses, a whole bag of papa's perfect poop, 6 gal water each. We're expecting dry sunny days ahead. Whew! I'm testing the fish shit. I think it may be an awesome food for soil and it's a little cheaper than other fortifiers. Not sure how I'm going to tell if it's better than what I use but ... First pic is TUT then Pineapple Chunk. Chunks out of control tall. I love it and not so at the same time. I won't be covering her during wet times later in flower i'm almost sure. Next week Lady Tut is going to get some attention there. No umbrella. Sadness, personally I am funky enough to have an umbrella over my tut during light rain and dewy nights. I came to a better idea using the tree and a couple bamboo poles and some parachute cord. Less chance of plant maiming I hope.

And yet we think we grow trees indoors. Haha

Right? I can't believe they do this! My ID pic on the left (what's it called?) is my tent in it's glory and I couldn't imagine a better grow experience. It's in the shadow of the outside gang. I just hope these fruit up and keep going to the fat end.

Looks like overcast and rain today. I'm used to growing in a tent using lights. Mother nature doesn't "need no stinking lights". In the tent every moment of light means something. It feels a little odd going outside and the sun doesn't show up for a day or two. Mother Knows Best I guess. I water these two every 3 or4 days depending on how they look and if it's rained. I PH to 6.5. Some might say ph not necessary with organics. I just feel better myself wallowing in my blyssful ignorance. What say you?

i agree with you on the ph. Unless you're using RO water.

Mostly out on interstates was a long ride!

Most my riding was in the 60s on the LA freeway system. I did the whole spectrum of scooters, from 90cc up to 1000cc Moto Guzzi. Did some off road, but mostly the streets and freeways & back alleyways of LA. Back in the day, the cops had harleys to stop people like me from driving between the cars parked in traffic jam . I've often wondered how I survived !!

Still raining in W Ma. !! This is getting ridiculous !!

Haha sounds like you lived! Me too only in the Boston area north. Moto Guzzi is exotica man. Thats been a standout bike forever.
