KWsmoke's Outdoor Bagseed Container Grow 2017

[Kwsmoke]

Latitude - 33.51

Started a bagseed back in February with a coir perlite mix.
Can't remember strain, but I usually only buy indica or indica dominates so that's what I'm leaning toward.

First few weeks after transplant things were going swimmingly.
Used a homemade compost mix until it's most recent transplant into a 12" with FF Ocean Forest.

Didn't want to really spend any money on this grow, just seeing what happens.

Using GH flora series. At this point I'm feeding a transition dosage every other week, water in between feedings.

Had some minor issues with bugs that were eradicated quickly with a mixture of cayenne and garlic foliar spray.

Big problem now is leaf miners, I'll need to go get some spinosad spray on Monday.

So yeah. Not sure on genetics or sex just yet but I guess only time will tell.

 

[Kwsmoke]

Got the leaf miners taken care of, doesn't seem like they got too established. I'll pick up some neem oil just to be safe tomorrow.

 

[Kwsmoke]

Starting to bush out nicely, definitely a girl. Strong pistil formation on a few nodes. Will post some pictures tomorrow when the weather is a little better.

Here are some pics from this morning. Lots of growth and branching out. Looking for opinions on if I should remove lower growth to focus on spearing out the cola. Lateral growth in these genetics have got me thinking that would be best for her. Will certainly need another transplant and some steaks to support weight.

 

[Kwsmoke]

Had some great weather over the weekend and she really seemed to love it.
I'm certain now that this plant is much more of a sativa than I am used to. Worried about height and flowering period at this point. Pistils are forming but cut back immediately. Going to have to start tying her down after I transplant later this week.

Beautiful plant kwsmoke! What did you use on the leaf miners? Going to re-pot her for flowering? Cheers

 

[Kwsmoke]

I used the Monteray garden insect spray with spinosad. Got rid of them with just one application.

Yeah I'll be transplanting into 20" square pot come Friday.
Thanks!

So today has been full of shitty surprises.

My 20" pot broke while I was drilling additional holes in the bottom for drainage, so I just used a 5gal bucket I had used last year for hog bait.

When I checked out the plant this morning before transplant I noticed that something has been eating the new growth on the very top of the plant. Basically it looks like it's been topped by a fucking bird or something. Also noticed a deficiency of some sort as the new growth is very light green. I can't imagine that it would be ph lockout as everything checks out, run out is like 6.5.

Anyway, I transplanted her into the bucket. After the stress of everything I doubt she will recover fully, but hopefully she will begin to branch out more and compensate for the loss of the main cola.

Here is my current "transition" feeding - per gallon
Floragro- 4ml
Florabloom- 4ml
Floramicro- 4ml
Floralicious plus - 1ml
Rapid Start - 1ml
Florablend- 2.5ml

sorry to hear about your stress. looks like a nasty chew. how close is she to going into flowering? if there is still time, maybe you could till top her yourself with a clean blade or scissors down a node or two. you could still get more colas if there is time.

 

[Kwsmoke]

Decided to just let her go and see what happens. Stress is apparent but I think she'll bee okay once flowering kicks in after the 24th. Attached some photos to show progress, 16oz beer for reference.

Photo Update, nothing new except the branch growth. Light ammonia smell when brushed up.

 

[Kwsmoke]

The summer solstice was last Saturday and we should be seeing daylight hours begin to decline here in the coming weeks. So with that in mind, I figured that the best way to control the vertical growth when flowering begins is to put her in the ground. Waited until dusk and dug a 3'x3' hole and filled it with 1/2 ocean forest and 1/2 organic compost, then topped it with native soil to try to retain moisture.

Here are pictures of the end result. I'm really happy with the way things have been going so far, cheers!

 

[Emeraldo]

those roots will have a huge space to fill, and goodies to go with it! you'll probably get even more growth when she stretches!

 

[Kwsmoke]

I sure hope so, I have an 8' privacy fence and my main priority is keeping it below the horizon line from my neighbors. I knew that if I kept it in any sort of container that this was going to be a problem. So really, if she stretches big at least she'll be anchored down and I'll be able to steak down some limbs with out the fear of uprooting. Next season I'm going to try a few runs of super-autos to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe if I can scrape up some extra bitcoin I'll order some beans to go in tandem with this run.

Any suggestions on a large breed auto?

 

[Dinsdale]

That's a beautiful plant! She seems to love her environment and to love recover nicely from the stress. Well done!
I definitely wanna see what happens next, so subbed!

Independence Day Update-

Nice bushing. Heavy pistil growth starting to show. It's been raining the past few days but will switch up to heavy doses of Kool Bloom here pretty soon. God Bless the United States of America.

 

[Emeraldo]

definitely into preflowering mode. flowering as the days get shorter, that could take you into October before she's ready, unless she is a fast one. was it a feminized seed?

 

[Kwsmoke]

Yeah I'm thinking early to mid October. Seed genetics are completely unknown, it came out of a bag of some kind from a friend. I generally only mess with the Indica or Indica dominant in, but clearly this is some sort of hybrid with a heavy sativa pheno.

 

[Kwsmoke]

My friend that I got the seed from says that he had a bunch of Blue Dream at the time and in his opinion that's most likely what it is. That would be cool as I hear that BDs flowering time is about 8-9 weeks.

Never got any recommendations on an auto? I've always had my eye on Stitch formerly from Short Stuff. His Flash Seeds line looks pretty good and the price is right. Thinking about going wth the Kush Van Stitch, any thoughts?

Yeah she definitely has that sativa look about her. Tall, lanky, nice long leaves. I've heard the sativa side can be long in flowering, so you'll have to be patient. I haven't got a clue about auto strains. Never tried em.
