2nd Grow - Outdoors On A Cart

[PopeyeSpinach]

Well guys this is my second grow ever. I started it in late June kind of a last-minute zero planning type of thing. Anyways I put them all outside on July 1st and started them on a 12/12 light cycle Aug 6th. I plan to leave them outside day and night in about 30 days when there is less daylight, and im more confident they will stay in flower.

I also have an unknown indica clone going in straight outside soil. It was an experiment i didn't expect to live.

Soil is FF OF and HF mixed with perlite.
FF trio and blackstrap molasses for nutes.

From left to right is a clone of my Brains Escape I just finished in my first Journal.
Next is Royal Queen critical
After that is Brains Escape from another seed, and the last two are also clones of original brains escape.

Its mostly my expiriments in cloning i didnt have a place for, or the heart to kill. I started the Critical and 2nd Brains seeds when i thought the clones were gonna die on me, and tbh i was really high.



But I knew that July 1st was probably about the latest I wanted to put anything outside. The reason Ive begun bringing them inside to start flowering is the brains is an 80ish day flowering time, and if that is correct outside then that will be wrapped up just a week or so before I have to leave town for a week. So lets hope things go more as planned for me this time around.

I've got something going on with the critical it started a few days ago and I figured insects so sprayed it with neem but it seems to be doing it more any guesses?

Here is the indica clone going in soil since early May. Something keeps gettin at it, i keep spraying it with Neem as well, but any advice appreciated. Ive got a water spike and 2 liter bottle. I just started giving it nutes a week ago, when i got the water spike. Aside from that i fed it the run off from my indoor plants here and there if it hadn't rained.

Disaster....the dogs took off after a bunny and as im yellin at em my dumbass didnt pay attention and let one of the cart wheels go off the sidewalk....every pot flipped onto its top. The biggest brains on the clay pot is dead, 99% break off 1 inch above soil, there was a lil thread of bark still hangin on. The rest will recover, they arent to bad.

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

well the plants are recovering from the death tumble so far....the critical still doesnt look good, I did a flush cuz im thinking its nute burn but im unsure. I cant post pics for a bit cuz my phone broke and new one is in snail mail from ebay. Plants are inside all day today, I hung the galaxy hydro 300 and a 55 watt CFL over them. I had injections in my back this morning and I figured I would just leave them inside in case I was super sore, which I am so im glad I did. Plus its nasty thunderstorms and a billion percent humidity today, so they wouldnt be doing any good out there anyway. I dont think 1 day without real sun will kill em.

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

Can someone confirm if this looks like bad nute burn? I've been trying to fix this plant for 6 days now and overnight it got worse. I think I burned it but i did it w half nutes on the first feeding? I've since done a PHD flush and it seemed to get better. Waited a couple days and PH watered with just molasses and now it looks worse today. Wtf?? This is the critial from RQ, feel like I should flush again.

When are you applying the neem? I've heard that + sun = burn to shit!

Could also be that tiger bloom if you're using it with these ones too

Well long story short, the tumble killed some plants, my back was doing really bad, i couldnt be upright more than 30 mins without major use of willpower. So i bailed on this journal.

Found out i have a bulging disc which has got better since the second injection. However also foind out i have ossification in the muscles around my T8-9 which still is painful as crap sometimes.

But anywho, here are the two brains escape survivors. Day 54ish of flower.

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

this one is getting harvested in a couple days.

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

Wait those are older pics, ill take more before harvest its plumper than that lol.

Well the 2 brains escape are coming along nicely. Im somewhere around day 61 of flower, i think.

How do other outdoor growers do it, i didnt pay real close attention to when flower started so i could be off by a week one way or the other.

My 1st brains escape grow was so bad i dont really use it as a guide for these.

The one on the left is ahead of the one on the right by about 10-14 days. I initiated it into flower manually by bringing it inside and puttin it out late in mornings.

The leaf yellowing leads me to believe im near 2-3 weeks out? I was expecting another 4-5 weeks but with the shorter and shorter photo period im wonderinf if they are flowerinf faster than indoor?

It got a full feeding of Sensi Bloom A&B as well as its 1st B52 the other day. (It really plumped out after that B52 was added in)

Im thinking i should plain water it next as its had 2 feedings in a row. Then wait a day and start it on B52 and overdrive.....maybe some blackstrap too.

Advice always welcome, im doing better i think, dont wanna mess up now lol

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

Oh and rain....been raining for 2 days, looks like rain and overcast w some random sun for next 5 days. Trying to keep soil covered


I been going out in mornings and evenings shaking water off plants and misting w neem oil as something made some holes.

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

They got 2 hrs of direct sunlight this morning......then rain and just more rain on the way... started the smaller one on B52 and Overdrive feedings today, i think its about 3-4 weeks out. Will get some pics soon, i got ran inside by rain before i remembered.

Day 65ish, bigger plant got full strength sensi bloom and B52 about 16 hrs ago.

She's loving it! That last pic, all the pistils are jacked!! She really is liking what you're giving her!!

Day 68ish

 

[Blazin Waffle]

Any signs of powdery mildew or bugs?
Coming along nicely!

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

Day 61, shes starting to look sexy. Gonna be curious to see how many weeks she has left. The larger one still seems to be a week or two behind it.
I harvested on day 88 of a disaster brains grow but that plant was stressed the entire last half of its life.

Im kinda thinking im near the 2 week mark on the smaller plant, and probably 3 week on the larger. ( I knew i should have initiated flower on the big one with the small one) smh

So its sunday now, im thinking 2 more feedings this week of B52 Overdrive and molasses, then plain water starting next weekend until harvest. Will repeat the same with bigger girl starting next weekend.

Bigger girl below...

great job sticking to the journal! I have had some prob. myself moving to hawaii and having to get used to the humidity is hard after seedling stage..
you may wanna prop them buds up besides that great job,looking awesome!
cheers !

 

[PopeyeSpinach]

Thanks man, i debated on coming back to it cuz i really mucked things up and just totally misunderstood everything somehow.

But oh well, im doing better now.

I did think of propping them but so far they seem to be ok, and they are just leaning towards the suns track. If they start bowing too low ill put some bamboo in there.
