2024 outdoor stuff 😶‍🌫️🫣

Beautiful colors coming in already on this GDP auto from Cartys Collective Crosses.
She was pollinated by the purple sacked male I had.

I'm amazed that you're so far along in flower outdoors! Mine are hinting at it, but nothing that looks anywhere close to that!

They look awesome btw!

for the three years I've been growing, July 31 is my date in central kalifornia. I imagine your days are still longer than mine are here.

The length of day on the 31st is 14:06 here, I guess that's the pivot point for the plants.
Doesn't seem to matter about temp, humidity nor nighttime temps as it's the 31st regardless of being in the Bay Area where it's cool and humid or the foothills hot and arid with nights that are usually warmer than the days in the bay area.
 
I reckon you might have to trellis that bitch the way she’s growing those top branches @GoodShit97 I dug a hole for the pot.helps keep that pot a little cooler and if you get abit of wind.that was my enemy.

My yard is lit up from like 510am to 8:30-9:30pm depending on cloud coverage. So I'm still getting 16 hours of light 🫣😩

I can't dig deeper than about 4 or 6 inches deep unfortunately.
I keep the pot in the weeds so it's in the shade at least.
Believe it or not she was right in the yard when we were running 100 degrees and loved every second of ot

Quite a DLI the plants are getting in mid summer, man there is just no comparing sun environments to indoor environments.
 
Haha,I bet she was drinking like a camel.my yards pretty open aswell.my morning time is a little later at 10 behind the shed but other than that they get it till the sun goes down.

My outdoor plants are just so much healthier too. I've had issues flowering photos here every year, flower starts way to late in the year and then I get screwed cause of mold.
 
I think 14 hours is the magic spot when photos start to show.
Here in NY we get 14 hours in September. Everything goes down hill fast after that as far as night time lows and dew points.
I use this guide to see what outdoor hours really are. Could work wherever you live.

That's about accurate, I don't have full on sun for 16 hours, but it's definitely light enough by 520 am to see for miles so I consider it daylight lol, and I get sun til like 830ish but it's semi light out for like an extra hour after that.
I'm going 8pm to 8am in a dark shed, then outside all day.
I'll have to bring her in every night or risk mold.

Definitely my last year outside with photos, it's too much work here.
 
I'm wanting to have faith in Jeffs gear.
Hoping my 2 Zamal dreams will be what they say they are.
Not so sure how my Sirius Black will turn out.
Maybe seeds were different back when I grew outdoors in the 80s-90s we would cut tops early and get 3 harvest before first week of October.
The buds were always fire, never a complaint about not being done.
I'll cut mine early if weather screws us.

You are more than welcome to pick my brain, but it’s slim pickins there!
I’m only in my 4th year so I’m still not the droid you’re looking for.

I’m out in the sierra foothills near Sonora. My Bay Area grow had a big problem a couple weeks ago that I couldn’t solve, so I deep-6’d it unfortunately.
 
Triple Cheese from @B2ACG
This girl smells so damn good, i feel like it smells just as if you left a cheesecake with fresh sliced berries outside in the sun for the day.
Extremely sour cheesy fruit. It's just fucking delightful 😍🤩

Are you using any pest management?
I won't go near my outdoor plants if I am going in my room.
Lately I alternate days for each.
My outdoors got their water deprivation this last week. :oops:
Slacker uses techniques that require absolutely no effort~!
I was actually surprised to see wilt on all three.
Supposed to heat up again this week I think so they may get another?

I've let this one get droopy a few times too, I have been alternating Dr. Zymes, PyGanic, Captain Jack's Dead Bug, and micronized sulfur, but the bugs are relentless this year.
Japanese Beetles, 4 lined plant bugs, the occasional golden rod worms. Moths are coming now to.... it's been a rough year of bugs here.
I've been a lot cleaner this year and so far no bugs or anything inside🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wasn't the Garlic Stash supposed to be "mold and mildew" resistant?

So the one parent, Dragon's Stash, is, but garlic breath I'm not so sure on and it'd be my luck I got a 90% garlic breath pheno lol. I threw it out in the ditch, we'll see what happens. I going out to spray it with Dr. Zymes after this cup of coffee

Garlic Stash v21
Was gonna kill her weeks ago.
Didn't have it in me, so I just left her be to either pull through or die.
She chose to live so maybe I'll get a harvest after all.
Mildew has disappeared amd not come back so idk. Send it.
