Zeb's Guerrilla Campaign 08

[zebulon]

Welcome my happy weed smoking friends to my outdoor grow 2008...

This will be a great year for all of us, i hope....i gonna upload tons of pix, gonna try to share my experience and my knowledge of more than 10 years of outdoor growing....this is what i know and love, not the indoor growing(which is also a great fun)....

I have multiple spots, where i gonna grow our beloved plant...
This years strain is TH seeds The HOG X Herbaria's Shiva's Joy...both are indicas...These seed have been crossed here locally, so they are acclimatized to this region...
I'm hoping to get other seeds too, but it's not 100%...
We have real warm summers, so it will be a difficult thing to water the plants...hoping for rain too, but it's more likely that it will have a drought...

I'm gonna upload the first pix soon...

So, let the games begin....:hippy:

[Backpacker420]

YESS!!! This will be excellent for me because this summer will be my first guerrilla grow! :D

[Shovelhandle]

Criminy, it's darn nasty, wintery today. My new 120 gallon composter blew away and got pretty busted up. I can't wait to grow outdoors, though it appears that Spring may never get here. Right from Winter to Summer again. Well, at least I can get some new ideas here I'll be able to put them to use this season.

So, let's go!

[JeffersonBud]

Thinking of doing the same. Lost of places around here. Zeb, what do you think about putting 1 in a 10 gal bucket painted like tree bark and lifted to the top of a big tree and left in the canopy? access is a problem due to having to climb a tree but I could check it a few times. Just a though. figured 10 gal for a mostly sativa would be enough

Well it's a good idea, but it won't work...the problem is that in summer the soil in the bucket gonna get dry real fast...and to climb a tree every 1-2 day's is not good, plus the water is heavy too...
Other thing is when its warm, the roots get cooked easily when sun shines on the bucket....it's more easy to simply put the plants in th ground....:thumbsup:

Shov...sorry to hear about your composter....we have gr8 weather here atlast, everything is flowering, birds are singing...i love it....:thumbsup:

[JeffersonBud]

I see what you mean. Climbing an oak tree all summer is not my idea of a good time although I do like to climb trees from time to time, just not with buckets of water. The weather is warm here too and i doubt we will have a frost again. How many times should you visit your plant? I have about 200 seeds from a hermied plant I got. Is it true that a large % of those are in fact female? I guess I would need to check them later to get rid of the males.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Zeb,

10 years experience, now I know who to ask questions:)

First one- Is it true when starting and veging a plant indoors under 24/0 and do an entire veg. Then place the plant outdoors any time of the season it will start flowering immediately therefore making possiable multiple harvests thru out the season?

I have read about this and I am planning to use this therory this summer.

JG.

Well i don't know if this would work Jerry...i only heard that if you put a flowering plant out in spring it won't reveg, and you can harvest it before summer, but i never seen anybody actually try this method, nor did i tried any of these methods myself...
I don't believe that a 24/0 veg plant would start to flower when you put it out, i think it would start to flower only in the end of summer...but you can never know until you try it, maybe it could work...

About that 10 years...well yeah i started to grow back in 97, but you shouldn't think that i know it all....i really have a lot to learn, and i often forget good old methods and useful things, and rediscover them later...but if you or anyone has a question i will try to help...

JeffersonBud....you should visit as often as you can....i usually visit my plant 1-2 times a week...watering is very important...and during harvest time i like to check my plant more often if they are ripe, or is there any sign of mold....

[zebulon]

So the The HOG X Shiva's joy seed are looking good...10 from 10 have germinated...i got a name for this strain ...it's called Buffalo Tooth....

[JeffersonBud]

Nice! Good luck already (knock on wood). How tall do those suckers get.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Thanks for your insite on my question.

Well I still figur I will give it a go and just keep placing cloans all over the countryside this summer and see what happens. I will start a log soon on my experience's.
Looks like my first ones will go out in mid May and if they don't start flowering they are going to be giants by October.

[b0n3ZA]

Zeb I'm excited for this grow :)

Have you grown outdoor before?

[zebulon]

JeffersonBud....i don't know how tall they gonna get...because this is a cross of two strains, i think there gonna be many phenotypes...i hope they gonna get BIG...we shall see...

Good luck Jerry whit your grow, i hope we gonna see many pix....:thumbsup: but remember to prepare the soil before you plant out your cloans...outdoor growing is all about good prepared soil, watering, sunlight and luck:wtf:....

Hey b0n3ZA nice to see you m8..:thumbsup: yes i have grown outdoors, and i hope this year will be the best so far....

So here are the first pix of my li'l BT's...

[Backpacker420]

Yayy! It's also so beautiful to see the little babies sprouting! :)

[fenderninja]

oh dang. I know this is going to be good!

[zebulon]

Some pix...my little BT's seem to feel good, growing nicely...

I realized recently that i never had pure indica plants, just hybrids and sativas. The truth is i am not that big indica fan, but i hope this gonna change. So this will be kind of a new experience, i'm real exited how they gonna look, smell , taste...the breeder of the BT said that it's an uniform strain...

[zebulon]

The plants are 20 days old, i have transplanted them into bigger pots 5 days ago...
I think they are almost ready, gonna start to plant them out soon...
We had lots of rain recently, so i couldn't go out because of the mud, that why i'm little behind whit the work, but so far i have 3-3 holes prepared....

[zebulon]

Here are the first pix of the plants in nature....i have planted out 8 of them, 1 week ago...2 have been already eaten....but it's no problem, i have other plants in reserve....

I wanted to water my plants today, but i found a dead deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the water....have to get water from elsewhere...it was disgusting, so i took a pic of it...

In the last pic you can see one of the worst enemy of a ganja grower...The European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)....this one was a very tame individual....

[Shovelhandle]

plants are happy there it seems.

we are almost ready to plant., I've been sowing seeds by the hundreds everywhere I go. I've been ridding myself of old stashes of seeds, (none older than three years).

[greenatik]

looks like karma did that deer in for eating your plants :D:D

what you are doing for deer repellent?

looks good zeb, i will be following

[zebulon]

what you are doing for deer repellent?
For deer repellent?? A shotgun....;)
There is not much i can do, don't want to use any repellent chemicals, so i think i gonna hang a few stinky socks around the plants, so they can smell the angry human, and run away...:D
The truth is that i can do what i want, but if the deer wants eat the plant, nothing can stop it...my personal favorite is when they antler starts to throw its skin and they rub it nicely in the flowering plants the ease the itching.....love it...

[zebulon]

The plants look nice and happy, i gave them some grow nutes...
It's a pita to visit the plants, the whole area has become a jungle, huge swarms of mosquito's and ticks everywhere...
But at least they are safe, i think....

[iriebowl]

looking good zeb. Glad to hear you got them in the ground, too bad you lost a few to nature but at least it was the animals and not humans who did the destruction.

are they getting enough sun in the last pics? looks a lil overgrown.

you could try "peeing" near you plants as a deer repellent but I dont know much about deer or repelling them, so thats just a guess. Im jealous of your outdoor wildlife, all I got to look at are lizards, bugs, and birds.



stay irie

[zebulon]

Hey thanks m8....:thumbsup:
Yes the plants are a bit stretching due to the fact that it is a area whit trees and bushes, and when i prepared the holes it was winter/spring, and i didn't thought that the trees will grow so much, so the area became more shady...but i think they will be alright if they get bigger...

And thanks for the "peeing" tip, i used it before, it seems to work...only problem is that you need a lot of pee for 6 plants...:D

[zebulon]

Here is the next batch....
1.pic.: group pic
2.pic.: 2 Mazar (like my last harvest - Marla)
3.pic.: 1 Big Bang from GreenHouse Seeds
4.pic.: 4 The HOG X Shiva's Joy
5.pic.: 2 Trainwreck from GreenHouse Seeds

And i gonna get one or two Power Plants soon from a friend....they are from Dutch Passion...

[zebulon]

Here are some pix of my family's bees, I'm new to this business, still learning....but it's great, i love those little workers, and the honey is soooo good....yumm yummm....:D:D
And some other pix i have shoot recently....

EDIT...: In the bottom of the first page are some new pix of the next batch of plants.....

[jakezking]

zebulon, thanks for all of those incredible pictures! As much as I enjoy pictures of buds, your pictures of nature and your surroundings are outstanding! They help me to slow down a bit in life and allow a bit of stress to slip away! You have a true photographer's eye, and I look forward to your future nature pictures, along with following the progress of your outdoor grow!

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks Jakezking.....It's so nice to get some compliments, i'm really happy that you like my pix....I really love nature, it has so many beautiful sides, but sadly many people don't seem to interested in it, or they don't have/take the time to stop and watch....

[jakezking]

zeb, I am happy to provide compliments where they are deserved. I too love nature - I think most stoners do, as we naturally tend to veg out watching the Discovery channel, eh? Life is always hectic at work, so it's nice to finally slow down, and there is something about literally and figuratively stopping to smell the roses that helps keep my blood pressure in check. Your photo of the cloud formation is outstanding! It is a wicked looking thunderstorm brewing, eh - a guess from the pure height of the clouds.

Your family's beehives are awesome too. I read somewhere, sometime about declining bee populations - definitely here in the U.S.A. It seems like it was attributable to some disease? I was wondering if you had any insight/knowledge of such? What would the world come to without bees? I had not seen a honeybee for a long time, but here recently have seen a couple flying around my pool. I was wondering if the bee was interested in my poolside plant - hehehe.

Keep up the outstanding grow work, my friend, and please keep posting your photos!

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks again....:thumbsup:

Yeah, we had a big thunderstorm yesterday, and today, it was raining too, so the plants had a nice drink, and are quite happy right now, i think...

We had/have this declining bee populations thing too here in Europe....sometimes whole regions are struck by it....it's a very sad thing...I heard something like, if all the bee would be gone, it would only take a few years and most of the plants would get extinct....

Here are some more pix if you like em....i took these yesterday....taking pix is a little hobby of mine, i have some experience in it, and it is also a great "alibi" if growing weed outside....someone asks what i'm doing in the bushes, i can tell i'm a hobby photographer....

I hope Stinky not gonna kick my ass for uploading non cannabis related pix....

[hydrocannabis]

I wanna live there.looks beautiful there. if that were my own land I'd probly have a bunch of weed trees scattered around the field.
:thumbsup:

I am also a hobby photographer. I might just have to up load some of my pix to my outdoor log also.

well have a good toke and a great afternoon.:thumbsup:

[zebulon]

Hey Hydro, thanks m8....well that is in fact kind of my land, if i had the money i could use it and grow something....It would be cool to grow some corn next year, and put a bunch of weed in the middle of the field...or industrial hemp...no one would ever notice some "real" plants...and if i would choose a later flowering strain, it wouldn't even get seedy....but that is a lot of money, which i don't have...

[jakezking]

Those rabbits and deer are fine and dandy until they start to eat your grow! HA! Again, you have shared some darn fine photos, my friend. The field photos are my favorite - the first 2. I just caught myself staring off into them. Looks like you could grow some mighty fun bud around your spot - I can see why you are primarily an outdoor grower, eh? Thanks again for sharing some photos of your grow area!

[zebulon]

Some pix and update.....
Things look bad...out of 6 plants, 3 became males...and 1 got eaten again...:(
Luckily the 2 biggest plants are moms, they look nice, and it's only just June....
I gonna plant out the remaining ones really soon, i hope those will be alright....

[camoxnhx]

That Mazar is look good. im pumped for mine to start. what was you yeaild from your last havest of 1 mazar plant?

[zebulon]

Dunno....something like 3/4 or 2/3 oz....but it's some pretty good shit... check out my other log (http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/145025-zeb-s-pure-cfl-grow-log-6.html), there you can see some pix of her...

Oh, i see you already know my other thread...can't wait to see your first pix...if you need help, i will try to help...

stupid question time Zeb, how come you don't plant rooted clones only? then you wouldn't have the guessing game wondering whether they're female or not, they'd all be female.

btw, beautiful country you live in man, and i don't think you need to worry about Stinky, she loves nature too much herself, lol


anyway, good luck, hopefully the predators (rabbits) don't take too heavy a toll

[zebulon]

stupid question time Zeb, how come you don't plant rooted clones only? then you wouldn't have the guessing game wondering whether they're female or not, they'd all be female.

Hey Bozo, thanks.....
Clones?? Well the truth is i was thinking about that, but i only received my seeds not long ago, so i don't had the time....also i don't have the space to make moms, and root clones....and the last one, i simply don't like clones too much....i always used seeds, never had problems...in fact i'm happy that there are some males, so i can do some breeding....
The other plants, the 2 Trainwrecks, 1 BigBang and 1 Power Plant are all femmed....gonna put them out this week, whit 4 other HOG X Shiva's...i gonna try what you suggested maybe next year...

[camoxnhx]

yes Zeb i have read your CLF grow more then once so i dont mess anything up. and as far as your Mazar plants..... you have me inspired to grow all thoes seeds! but im not...yet.

[zebulon]

:woohoo:
I'm so happy right now....I found a new spot for my plants, and it's absolutely UNBELIEVABLE....
It's a quite large area, which looks like a jungle form outside....because :D a few years ago it was dumped full whit manure, and not all has been taken away....piles of manure where left behind, which has decomposed over the years, and now it looks like the best potting soil you can buy for money....pix tomorrow....:hippy:

[zebulon]

The plants are finally planted out....everything went on good, no problems during the transport and transplant....

1. pic...: the 4 HOG X Shiva's
2. pic...: 1 Big Bang, 1 Trainwreck and the Power Plant
3. pic...: 1 Trainwreck

[iriebowl]

looking great zeb

that area is gonna be great for the plants, and I see you got some natural barbwire(last pic) to keep the pests away. If you have some hardware cloth you might wanna wrap the other plants so they dont get eaten like the others. cant wait to see them in full bloom.


stay irie

[zebulon]

looking great zeb

Thanks Iriebowl.....:thumbsup:

The other plants are also protected, the pix where taken before i have pulled up the barbwire:D....i hope they won't
get eaten...


cant wait to see them in full bloom.

Yeah, me too...:thumbsup:

[jakezking]

zeb! Your plants look pretty darn outstanding! I am jealous of your strain genetics - I can't wait to get some good, known strains, so I will actually know what I am growing, and have an idea as to how they are to develop. That thornbush is amazing, and should serve to keep the critters away. It appears you truly found the perfect location for your lil' ladies - natural barbwire and mounds of composted manure! I'm looking forward to seeing how your ladies will thrive under these excellent conditions!

I did notice a little yellowing of the lower leaves on the Hog x Shivas. I've seen this same yellowing on my own plant, and was wondering if you had a definitive answer as to the cause? I have read quite a bit on this board, and through assimilation of such information I have either accurately or inaccurately concluded it is from a nutrient issue, either a lack of nutrients or excess nutrients? I look forward to your experienced analysis.

Hope all else is well with you, my friend! Be good out there!

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks for stopping by....:thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm happy that i have different strains this year, i hope they will survive, so that there will be some variety....
This new site, where the plants are, is such a great place, i think it will see many future grows....The best is that the plants are mostly surrounded by this thornbush....It's some pretty nasty shit...if it stings you, the tip of the thorn brakes easily off into the skin, and can cause some local infection, if you are not poking it out whit a needle....

I look forward to your experienced analysis.

In my case, it's very simple what the cause of the yellowing is. It's because the plants where in my small vegbox(which you can see in my other log), and there was limited space, so i gave them no nutes, in hope that they not gonna outgrow the box before i can put em out....it's the lack of Nitrogen that causes the yellowing...imo...
Now that they are planted out, i have started to feed the ladies....they get grow nutes till the start of the flowering(Aug.,Sept.), and then i gonna feed em whit flower nutes....Usually when the plant is flowering it needs much less N, so the flowering nutes have a lower N content, than the grow nutes.....the plant uses up the remaining N during flowering, which causes the yellowing of the lower, bigger leafs....It's a normal thing that the lower leafs turn yellow during the middle, end of flowering....


Hope all else is well with you, my friend! Be good out there!

Thanks again....you too...:jointsmile:

zeb, as always I appreciate your experience and information! It, along with some many other helpful people on this great board, is assisting me greatly in my grow! Feeling like I know what is going on helps me relax, and when I am relaxed my plant has less to worry about!

As before, I can't wait to follow this log now that your ladies have found a CHOICE spot for the remainder of their days.

Be good out there!

[redeyed]

Looks like you should do pretty good Zeb, funny here I'm called redeyed but every body I know calls me Zeb, caught me off gaurd when I saw your thread. Hey for future referance the tree thing works,I have done it. The trick is to use a rope and pulley so as to only climb the tree once. It's not so much that the soil will dry out but that the roots get to hot in the pale that's painted brown, black, green what ever. I did it twice as an experiment and got some buds, pretty good for a bag seed experiment. I won't do it again only because it is a royal pain in the ass and I got plenty of land to do my thing.
Sorry to change the scene but just wanted to throw that one out there. Good luck and and I'll check you out soon.:greenthumb:
Hey I've been looking at the trainwreck, ever grow it bfore? I have heard it K.O.'s you pretty good!

[zebulon]

Hey Jakez, I'm glad i could help...if you are happy, the plants are too...imo....:jointsmile:
If you have some more Q's, I'll try to help....It's always a great pleasure, when you stop by for a chat....:thumbsup:

Zeb...:D Thanks for the info, now i know, it's possible...
You are rite, this tree grow thing could work, but it's far less pita to simply put the plants in the soil....the rope and pulley method is brilliant....:D
This is the first time i grow TW, but sadly this is just a cheap copy of the original, by GreenHouse Seeds....I'm not even sure it should be called TW, because i read in another forum that it has very few things common whit the real thing....But on the other hand, i read some good reports too....
We shall see, my Friend, we shall see.....:hippy:

[redeyed]

Ya I know what you mean, it kinda rips me that alot of the new breeders are able to pass of their screwed up genetics to the rest of us. I applaude people for trying to grow the next best thing:clap:, that's the name of the game right, but don't distribute the crap in the process:cursing:.
Anyways, best of luck on your venture:bigsmoke:

[camoxnhx]

Man that train wreck is gonna be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! i've smoked it many of times and man oh man did it make me hungry, happy, sleepy! best of luck to your train wreck and your other mothers. hope all is well for you ZEB!

[zebulon]

I was visiting the plants today, gave em water & nutes...
Everything looks good, no plants were eaten so far and i also discovered another female among the older HOG X Shiva's, so there are now 3 girls...

First, here are the older HOG X Shiva's....

Pic 1, 2 and 3 are the three lady's...
Pic 4 is 1, Pic 5 is 2, a bit closer....

[zebulon]

Next, here are the youngsters....
They look happy, gave em water & nutes too...

Pic 1....The 4 HOG X Shiva's
Pic 2....The Big Bang(looks nice :jointsmile:)
Pic 3....The Power Plant
Pic 4....Train wreck 1
Pic 5....Train wreck 2

[zebulon]

And finally, some nature pix, just for fun....enjoy....:hippy:

[bombdiggity]

beautiful pics zeb.. those things are gonna fill out to be monsters! I cant wait!

[camoxnhx]

ZEB ABSOULTELY AMAZING!!! that Big Bang looks wonderful as as far as your HOG X Shiva's they look happy! what are you feeding them for nuts?

[zebulon]

Hey Thanks Bomb and Camox....:thumbsup:
I use BioCanna products, currently BioVega and later BioFlores, also a local product whit Potassium-Humic for the â??humic substancesâ?? and micro elements....

[Backpacker420]

Zeb,

What are you currently using for defense against pests and animals? Have you had any trouble with that?

[zebulon]

Hey, Backpacker.....:jointsmile:
Only defense is what you see, no chemicals and stuff....yeah a few plants where eaten, but only HOG X Shiva's, so it was no biggie....

[zebulon]

WOOOOOT !!! :eek:

Today was another visit day and the plants look so good....this time i only gave em water, no nutes....
I was a bit worried that i find the plants drooping because we have a minor heatwave currently, but they are looking good and enjoying the all-day sunshine....:cool:
It's bean only 8 day since they where planted out, but are already growing nicely....especially the Big Bang....that plant is already like 1 feet tall....i was like :eek: when i saw it today...and it has shown sex....it's a She(from femmed seed)....
The other look good too....the Power Plant has already that smell, which i love so much...
The Trainwrecks seem to be struggling a bit, but it's no biggie....

So, first of all here are the HOG X Shiva's, which i figured could be called an IBL, because it was back crossed a few times already in past years.....

[zebulon]

The Power Plant....:stoned:
She is my favorite, i love this strain so much....i hope she gonna become a big one....

[zebulon]

Trainwreck 1 & 2....
First 2 pix are TW1, pic 3 & 4 are TW2....
They look a bit strange, like if they don't like too much direct sunlight, or there is some problem whit the soil....
But they are growing, and that is what's important....

[Shovelhandle]

10-4

[zebulon]

Finally here is the Big Bang....
She has grown the most since the last visit....
Gonna get Big, that's for sure...dunno about the Bang, we'll have to wait till harvest....:D

That's it for today....enjoy....:thumbsup:(comments are welcome)

[camoxnhx]

zeb it looks like your plants are lovin life right now. Those are gonna be monster! and the Power plant is looking really nice!

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks Dude....i hope they gonna get big, especially the PP....
I know vegging plants are not that interesting....i think about Aug., Sept., the log will become more interesting, so i think until then i gonna update less often....take care peeps...:hippy:

[jakezking]

zeb, I'm glad to see your plants doing so well, my friend! They appear to really love that incredible location of yours! I can't wait to follow your PP grow, as I ordered some Nirvana Pure Power Plant awhile back and am currently, anxiously awaiting their arrival. I've heard great things about the PP strain, and hope they are true!

I hope you have continued good luck! Be good out there!

[zebulon]

Thanks Jake....:thumbsup:

Today was another visit day, gave em nutes...Here are the pix...first, the three Hog x Shiva girls....

Girl one....: Side branches are growing nicely, altering nodes have appeared...

[zebulon]

Girl two....: She is a bit stretchy, not getting that much light as the first one....

[zebulon]

#3....: She is the smallest, but has plenty of time to catch up...

[zebulon]

Next, the little Hog x Shiva's and the Power Plant...

[zebulon]

The Trainwreck's....Tw1 :wtf: and Tw2....

[zebulon]

And finally the gorgeous Big Bang....she's growing real fast and already has a nice minty ganja smell....

Well, that's it for today, enjoy.....:hippy:

Thanks Hatch.....:thumbsup:

I'm exited how the plants gonna look in a few weeks, months...i hope they gonna get big, i was thinking about topping or lst, but i think this time i gonna leave em as nature intended....The Hog x Shiva's will be the first to flower, indoors it has a ca. 9 weeks flowering time....i think it will be harvest able in Sep....gonna be a great autumn if things go right....

[smokeybear420]

hey just wondering do u plant just in the dirt or did u put any additives in it?

[Shovelhandle]

mighty nice grow there, Zeb. :smokin:

[jakezking]

zeb, you have a mighty fine grow with some incredible strains! I know I keep commenting on your location, but you couldn't have dreamed up a better location I don't think. You have done an incredible job in caring for these ladies, and it really shows!

I hope you have continued good luck in this season's grow. You will wind up with some great variety of smoke that will hopefully keep you in the green until next season!

Keep on keepin' on, my friend!

[zebulon]

Hey, Thanks Shov and Jake....it's nice to get a pat on the back...:hippy:

Was visiting the plants yesterday, gave em water....nothing special ...one of the little Hog X Shiva's got eaten, but luckily it was a male, nature helped me out...:)

Plants are doing good, growing nicely, but the Big Bang has gone nuts....it's growing like crazy....i thought Power Plant had an "enormous grow potential", but the BB is already twice as big as the PP....but it is older too....

So i took pix yesterday and made a Gif. of the little Hog x Shiva's, it's only 3 pix and it's shitty, but somewhat cool imo...little time lapse....
The other 2 pix are the Big Bang....enjoy peeps....:hippy:

[hydrocannabis]

lookenn very nice there. zeb.:thumbsup:
hope they give U some nice and big buds.

[Opie Yutts]

i only heard that if you put a flowering plant out in spring it won't reveg, and you can harvest it before summer, but i never seen anybody actually try this method, nor did i tried any of these methods myself...
I don't believe that a 24/0 veg plant would start to flower when you put it out, i think it would start to flower only in the end of summer...but you can never know until you try it, maybe it could work...

I know this is a little late, but the only thing that determines if a weed plant flowers or vegges is the light schedule and variety of weed. And as far as a know a plant can be revegged an infinite number of times.

[Opie Yutts]

[quote=zebulon]For deer repellent?? A shotgun....;)
There is not much i can do, don't want to use any repellent chemicals, so i think i gonna hang a few stinky socks around the plants, so they can smell the angry human, and run away...[quote]

You might try some Liquid Fence. It's natural, smells like shit, and seems to work. It won't solve all issues.

[Opie Yutts]

i was thinking about topping or lst, but i think this time i gonna leave em as nature intended........

Nature intended for a branch to blow off a tree and hit the top of your plant and knock it off. Notice how tall your plants are getting? You get the same or more weed if you top once or twice, and you will not have to worry about your plants being seen because they are growing above their surroundings as much, and they will be less likely to break when they get rich with buddage.

[Opie Yutts]

Nice grow. Nice pictures. Great job so far, jolly good show and keep up the good work.

One word of advice, or so: Some pictures didn't exactly look 100% indica to me, but if they are as you say, be real careful if they start to get rained on for a couple days. Bud rot is a bitch, it comes on fast and spreads fast, especially in indica varieties.

Hey Opie, thanks for you insight....:thumbsup:
You are rite. I was talking about putting a plant out here locally. Here i don't think it could work, because we have late frosts, so i think i could only put out the plant during April or even later and i think that late the plant would not start to flower.
But it could work for sure, if you live more down south, whit no (late) frosts....

Funny you say this, I just topped the smaller plants two days ago.Yes, the older ones are tall, but if i had topped em they would still get stretchy because they are not getting that much light as the smaller plants. When i was choosing the spot during February, i didn't thought that it would get so bushy. A few years ago i always used to top the plants, but to be honest i don't see that big difference in yield between topped and un-topped plants. I didn't topped these plants so they can get more light, but it's a good spot, nobody goes even near. You are rite about that the branches could break.But now there is not much i can do. If it's gonna look bad, i gonna support the plant whit a pole...

Nice grow. Nice pictures. Great job so far, jolly good show and keep up the good work.

Yeah, i said wrongly 100% indica, it's more like "mostly" indica...;)
I had problems whit budrot before, It's some pretty nasty shit.
I think it was 2001 when it was raining whole September. It was a massacre, there where many victims.....Let's hope for a dry September.

Thanks again for checking in, your thoughts are always welcome ....:thumbsup:
You got anything going on??

[jakezking]

I didn't know much at all about Big Bang, so I just did some quick research, and it does look like it has a huge production outdoors. I'm like you, I thought the PP would be your big producer, which is why I keep ordering PPP. But, it looks like you may have a nice arms race on your hands, eh?

I hope you have some nice weather in your finishing Fall months, so these ladies reach their full potential. I can't wait for the final wrap up, so I can begin planning for next year's outdoor grow!

And, thanks, zeb, for all of your answers to all of my questions! You're a good dude!

[hudson88]

Hey Zeb,

Plants are looking great, really green and healthy, top job :thumbsup:

Hope you get good weather and all your hardwork is repaid in fat juicy buds :D

[Opie Yutts]

You got anything going on??

3 weeks until harvest on a AK-47 and a couple BBxNL. Lotsa outdoor plants going, and a bunch just ready to be sexed indoors. Other "medicinal botanicals" as well.

[zebulon]

Maybe some pix?? I saw your, i think last grow, which was a stadium Scrog...that one was really cool...

[zebulon]

Thanks Jake and Hudson....:thumbsup: I too hope for good weather ...last night there was some rain.....
I went out to visit the plants today and they look nice...the remaining 3 smaller Hog x Shiva's are all girls, so are the Big Bang and one of the Trainwrecks....
The Power Plant looks strange, it supposed to be femmed, but there are no sign of pistils. Instead there are nodes coming out of the plant, where the pre-flowers should be....:wtf:

Here are some pix....

[zebulon]

The 3 Hog x Shiva girls, which i all topped, in the first pic....in the second, the Big Bang(also topped), the Power Plant and a TW....

[zebulon]

The Big Bang, the Power Plant and a puny Trainwreck....

[jakezking]

zeb, dude, those are some real beauties! I can't take my eyes off the Big Bang! She is a MONSTER! As for the Power Plant, it is a close 2d. As for its sex, it's really hard to tell. That first up close picture seems to show some claw like formations at the node lower than the focused area; and, I don't know what to say about the protrusions you focused on - looks like they may just be additional leaves. I hope your PP shows fem though - of course.

I think if you took the BB and the PP out of the picture, you would be really impressed with the Hog x Shiva and the Trainwreck, but having the BB and PP to compare the others too, really makes them look like runts. You just have to quit comparing them to see them for their own glory.

Another couple of really awesome nature photos you have shared with us! Thanks! That 2d picture showing the bee climbing up the backside of that flower is truly incredible. You do have a good eye for photography!

Be good out there, my friend!

[tokr2153]

hey zeb lookin good but i just have a Qestion or two about ur pur cfl grow how big was ur box h x d x w and when did u start lst them cause looked threw ur log i couldn't tell when u started them thanks in advance
tokr

[zebulon]

Hey, sure Dude....it was c.a. 20h x 10d x 10w Inch...

Start lst when the plant has already like 3-5 nodes and the stem is still soft&green....or the most simple way is,when you transplant your plant into a bigger pot, plant it diagonal and as it grows you just adjust the growing tip whit tying it down the way you like, every few days...:hippy:

[killa12345]

Everytime i come back to your log......your plants look better.....whats the deal with that......im just joking.....your grow is awesome......i wish i had the room for an outdoor grow......but it kinda hard to hid more than 4 plants on my 100x100 lot. Good luck....sh*t looks good....man i really wish i could just keep my outdoors in the open....my lawnman would find them in a sec if they werent hiding in the small palms in my garden.

[Opie Yutts]

Maybe some pix??

Maybe in the next couple of days I can get some quickies posted. Nothing special to look at really, except I can't believe how well the BBxNL is filling up with buddage.

I know this isn't a nature photography forum, but I really enjoy your photos. I like to do that too, and maybe I'll post a couple with my weed photos.

Hey, thanks Killa....:thumbsup:
imo it's easy to maintain a few outdoor plants, it's not that much work, but you must have a good spot...Luckily, around here, there are so many great spots and it's not that far away from home....it would suck to live in a big city...

Do it man, it would be great to see some pix....i always enjoy some nice grow or nature pix....BBxNL?? sounds good, i was thinking i might try out some oldschool NL next year...other thing is i would like grow is some Mr.Nice genetics - g13xskunk or g13xwwidow, also critical mass would be great...or wwidow, or SSH...oh carp...there are so many good strains...TH.seeds SAGE, Serious seeds Ak47 or White Russian, Paradise seed's Sensi Star....

Something else...last time i visited the plants i tested the soil ph where the Big Bang, Power plant, Tw is. It's 6.6 which is almost optimal for the plants....i think :wtf:....They have really taken off now, growing nicely....gonna test the ph at the other spots too...Pix in a few days...:hippy:

[Opie Yutts]

Do it man, it would be great to see some pix....i always enjoy some nice grow or nature pix....

OK, here's both:

[tokr2153]

hey zeb i was hoping u could tell me whats wrong wit my one plant it has some funky coloring on it. but heres some of the other ones thanks in advance

[greenatik]

you should post that in the plant problem section..

nice log zeb, can't wait to see everything play out :jointsmile:

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks Greenatik...:thumbsup:
Your outdoor plants look healthy and vigorous....must be lots of work to water them....sad that the pilav had lost it's leafs and got scorched, but it still will be a great smoke for sure....keep it up Dude...:jointsmile:

Tokr....Greenatik is rite, you should post in the plant problems section, Stinky or somebody can help for sure....but if i had to guess, i would say the soil is too soggy, too heavy not enough drainage and ph problems - nute lockout :wtf::D....i would transplant that plant into a bigger pot, whit good quality potting soil that has a ph around 6.5, and mix at least 25-30% perlite in it....make sure that excess water can leave the pot during waterings...but this is just a guess, you should listen to Stinky....she has seen it all...

[painretreat]

Very nice log and so enjoy all the photography! That is a great idea to take your camera with you! Around here, people put cat shit around plants and trees they don't want eaten! Like Opie said, whatever smells like 'shit'! It is most likely cats! Anyway, the only problem is, the little rabbits, etc. don't like the cats; but the coyote's love them-not sure if the coyote would eat the precious plants though?

Have heard no animal will go around Wolf piss- so stoke up and piss a lot! Just joking--some people actually sell it on line to keep all critters away! i don't know if it works. But the man up the hill from me claims he has a wolf in his mix of dogs--I have not seen a coyote since that wolf (or whatever it is) appeared!

Thanks for the education! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yea, I love the technique only I did it on accident the first time and just kept it going.

Zeb, has anything shown on the PP, did those extra nodes turn?

[zebulon]

Painretreat...: Thanks for the education! :D:thumbsup:

McDanger.....: The PP is a girl, checked today....in fact all the remaining plants are girls....:woohoo:

So i was visiting today, there were some heavy rain and winds few days ago and sadly the older Hog x Shiva has fallen over...nothing dangerous, i supported her whit sticks....at least the lower branches get more light...nature's way of lst...kind of...:wtf:

[zebulon]

The younger HOG x Shiva's....growing nicely...all 3 are girls....:jointsmile:

[zebulon]

Trainwreck 1.....

[zebulon]

The Power Plant....became a girl...the strange nodes are not spreading...she looks nice, and has that lovely scent...i love her...:jointsmile:

[zebulon]

And finally the Big Bang....there is not much i can say about her...enormous....:stoned:
I have measured the soil ph and it's between 6-7 everywhere....:thumbsup:

That's it for today....take care peeps...:hippy:

[McDanger]

Thanks for the update. Great lookin so far :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[camoxnhx]

wow its been a bit since i've looked at your log.... and all i have to say hands down those are some of the best look plants i've seen in a while for the outdoors. Your Big Bang looks like a ganja cousin IT from THE ADAMS FAMILY. Your Power Plant looks reckless all in its self nvm the smoke thats going to come from it :) Your train wreck is looking might nice along with your HOG x Shiva's. What i would do for a wiff of the PP right now. lol

[Shovelhandle]

Good work, Zeb!

[zebulon]

Thanks guys....:thumbsup:

Here are some nature-travel pix....enjoy....:hippy:

[zebulon]

Some more lower res pix....have a nice day people....:hippy:

[hudson88]

Wow great pics zeb, i'm gonna email my girlfriend that pic of the spider, she'll sh1t herself lol

Plants are looking great too mate, what can i say about the big bang? Thats a beast! ;)

[Opie Yutts]

Wow, nice pictures and nice plants. That big bang is doing great. Looks like she'll yield well. Is that person on the sailboard anyone you know? Ahh, the good ol days... trying to sailboard in 60 MPH winds. I wish I still had my board.

[zebulon]

Hey Hudson....thanks for the visit mate....:thumbsup:
I think and hope too that the BigB gonna yield nicely....she'll be the top yielder imo...it's a mix of Skunk, Northern Light and El Niño....can't wait...

Opie...no that's just some guy on the sailboard, i don't know him...hey how is your finger?? did the thumbnail fall off??

[niljack]

/htt6j7

[niljack]

Zeb,

10 years experience, now I know who to ask questions:)

First one- Is it true when starting and veging a plant indoors under 24/0 and do an entire veg. Then place the plant outdoors any time of the season it will start flowering immediately therefore making possiable multiple harvests thru out the season?

I have read about this and I am planning to use this therory this summer.

JG.

no its not true it will still get the right amount of light to keep it in veg. but it might work if you flower it for about 3 weeks inside then put it out after that. you could always scope out a spot and make sure that it is well shaded for part of the beginning or end of the day so it gets the right amount of time to bud.

[Shovelhandle]

Awesome scenery, Bub. Where abouts is that at?

[Opie Yutts]

Opie...no that's just some guy on the sailboard, i don't know him...hey how is your finger?? did the thumbnail fall off??

Amazingly, I think since the left half looks healthy it's trying to grow instead of fall off. We'll see.

[zebulon]

Awesome scenery, Bub. Where abouts is that at?

It's the Lake Balaton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Balaton)....a nice place to hang out in summer...:hippy:

[greenatik]

looking good bro :jointsmile:

how much water do they get?

[zebulon]

Thanks Greenatik....:thumbsup:
Every 3-4 days i give em ca. 1/2 gal water...if there is no rain....seems to be enough....
I saw in your log, you have a irrigation system....that's some really cool stuff....:thumbsup:

[lunarose]

Zeb,

What beautiful countryside you live in! I love your grow that Big bang is gonna reach the moon!(G) I don't have problems with deer because our property is fensed in but the mice and bunns..... You may want to see if any of your local nurseries carry bobcat, mountain lion or coyotee urine....it smells horrible but does help and is safe. My biggest problem has been insects but it doesn't look like anything has been munching on yours what are you using?

[Shovelhandle]

I checked out your Lake Balaton. Looks like a beautiful place to vacation. I live near a lake too, Lake Champlain in Vermont, USA.

[jakezking]

zeb, it's been too long since I scoped your log. Your plants never cease to amaze me, my friend! They all look like flippin' giants, until you get to the BigBang - I just don't know what to say about her, except that she's scary big! Dang good work on them!

As for the nature photos - they are beautiful. The 1st picture in post #113 is an amazing shot of a marina. The sunset seems to provide the perfect lighting, and the masts reaching up into the sky - dang good photo!

It's nice to see you and your ladies doing well, my friend! I wish you continued prosperity!

[zebulon]

Thanks Luna, Shov and Jake.....:thumbsup:

Luna...i use nothing against the bugs. Luckily they seem to leave the plants alone...only problem is some mice are chowing the lower branches, but it's not a big thing...i find em cute, whit those little black eyes...there is no way i could hurt em....

I checked the plants today, they are looking good, it was raining whole week, so they have grow nicely. I will order some Bat Guano soon...it has much P...
They gonna get the BioCanna Flores, the local stuff whit Potassium-humic, and bat guano tea for flowering....it will be a good mix, i think...

Pix in a few days....:hippy:

[greenatik]

are you going to be making a tea zeb? or just broadcasting the guano into the soil?

[zebulon]

I gonna make tea...it supposed to be a great stuff...

[zebulon]

Well, it's been a while, but finally i got the cam back so here is a update...

Things are looking good, plants are growing, and i ordered a bag of Bat guano for the flowering....
Sadly there are is some bad news too...the Big Bang, which was my biggest plant so far, is dying....she was simply to big and couldn't take her own weight, and the stem snapped....i tried to support her but the damage is too big, i think she's gonna die soon...pix below...

But first here are the 3 Hog x Shiva girls....

[zebulon]

Here is the Big Bang...:( looks pretty bad, but i try to stay optimistic...

[zebulon]

The Power Plant....:stoned:

[zebulon]

And finally the funky Trainwreck...i have a feeling she's gonna be the strongest smoke...
I still have that 1 last TW seed, which i gonna pop in a few weeks....i was thinking i will make a new grow box and order a 200W cfl for the flowering, so there will be some indoor fun too....

That's it for today ppl....:hippy:

[SouthernGuerilla]

Lookin sharp Zeb!

[Shovelhandle]

Looking nice, Zeb. crazy avatar, man. <G>

Having a good Summer? It's kinda wet so far here. Need much more sun.

[Opie Yutts]

Looks good zeb.

Why are leaves turned over? Was it windy?

[zebulon]

Thanks SG, Shov and Opie.....:thumbsup:

Yeah Shov, i had a good summer so far, thanks....lots of sunshine and good weather....hoping for a dry September and October...

Opie....dunno why the leafs look like this, i hope there is no hidden problem...:wtf:


I was watering the plants today...the Big Bang is history....it was a beautiful plant, i'm sad that it's gone, but at least i still have another few plants left...i feel bit shitty...loosing plants....i have no more weed left, and harvest is still so far away...2 months...:(
The bat guano i ordered is not coming, the shop fucked me over...luckily there is another shop - hopefully they gonna deliver...

Well here are some pix....first the Hog x Shiva's...

[zebulon]

The funky GHS Trainwreck....
I'm a bit worried...she should start flowering soon, or there will be not enough time to finish...

[zebulon]

The Power Plant has also fallen over due to the strong winds a few days ago...she's staring to flower soon...can't wait to smoke some PP buds....

[zebulon]

The Bat guano has arrived, i gave the plants the first low dosage today....i hope they gonna like it....the days are getting shorter, the plants now get only about 14h of light, slowly the flowers start to appear....

[zebulon]

Trainwreck...

[Opie Yutts]

Still looking good, despite the few problems you're having. I know the feeling. I can't remember if we talked about topping, but they would be less likely to topple if they were topped. It would make them shorter, but with more bud sites, so same amount of bud roughly. I don't mean now, it's too late. Sometimes I end up tying my outdoor plants to trees or whatever is near. If they do bend from weight though, they will usually be OK, even if you leave them bent.

[hydrocannabis]

wwwwoooooowwwww!:D:thumbsup:

looking nice as hell! my brotha.:thumbsup::stoned:

[zebulon]

Thanks Opie and Hydro.....:thumbsup:

The Power Plant...

Enjoy....:hippy:

[SouthernGuerilla]

Lookin better!

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeb,

Those plants are huge:) You are going to have to come up with something to hold those plants up. When they go into full flower they are going to weigh a hell of a lot more than now. Their own weight will make them fall over!!!!

I suggest going to Home Depot and get some thin metal fence posts 4' to 5' long, pound one 18'' or more into the ground at the base of each plant (about 6'' from the stalk), then use tie-wraps fitted loosely around the stalk to hold the mid section of the plant in place . This won't hurt the plant and prevent her from falling over in the storms that will come in the fall.

AGAIN, my god you have some beautiful plants I am envious.

JG

[jakezking]

Mr. Zeb - dude, your ladies are lookin' good! I can't wait to see them all buxom and saggin' under the weight of their huge buds! They are on their way to providing you sustenance for many months to come.

Dude, you have to post more nature shots. I've got to get a new camera soon; in runnin' it through a break-in period I will try to share some sights from around my parts. You have some truly beautiful surroundings within which to grow and enjoy life. Be good out there!

[Opie Yutts]

That power plant is looking pretty powerful.

[zebulon]

Thanks people, I'm happy you like the pix...and thanks for the advice Opie and Jerry....:thumbsup:
Jake, i gonna take some nature shots soon....;)

Here is a pic of the older girl, and a male HOGxShiva's joy....gonna make a few seeds for next year.....:jointsmile:

[jakezking]

zeb, thanks for fulfilling my nature shot request! And, for those who are just tuning in, that may not sound quite right, but I'm talking about real pictures of nature! Dude, your lady friend there has some sweet hoop dreams! She could play some serious basketball, yo! And, your hogxshiva male should have plenty of pollen, eh? That dude is a serious giggalo!

Thanks for the update, man; it's been awhile since we've seen you around here. It's good to catch up with you a bit, my friend! Be good out there!

[zebulon]

She could play some serious basketball, yo!
:S2:


it's been awhile since we've seen you around here.

Jake, i usually come here every day.....i like to make a nice big cup of tea in the morning and check the grow logs....but i don't leave a comment every time...i would love to update the log more often, but vegging plants are not that interesting....but i was visiting yesterday, and the hogxshivas have finally started to flower, first pistils have appeared....so there is at last something more interesting to photograph, than vegging plants....gonna take pix in a few days....
And thanks for popping in, it's always a joy to read your comments....take care friend....:hippy:

[painretreat]

Con't watching and learning. The loss of you plant hurt all the way over here! I have to deal with hi winds, so if I do an outdoor grow, I now know what to prepare for. Half my trash cans are in the next county! Wouldn't want my mmj there also!

Love the pix and enjoying the thread! pr :thumbsup: :hippy:

[zebulon]

Hey, thanks Painretreat.....:thumbsup:

Buds...finally there are buds forming on one of the HxS....the others look good too....:jointsmile:

[zebulon]

The Trainwreck....still not flowering, i hope she's gonna start soon, or she won't finish in time....

[zebulon]

Finally the Power Plant....she is still growing, getting really bushy....but also, still not flowering, only a few pistils.....:hippy:

[hydrocannabis]

[Shovelhandle]

I love seeing outdoor plants best. Thanks for putting up the photos, Zebulon. Can't wait to see them finishing up. Of all the hundreds of seeds I planted this spring there are only a few plants that I can visit ( as many of them I forgot the location and others are hundreds of miles away).

[zebulon]

Thanks Shov....:thumbsup:

Here are a few new pix....
There is a chance that some of these The Hog x Shiva's joy plants gonna turn purple....:hippy:

I can't wait to see the yield on those babies. I think you will break the half pound per plant barrier on all of them.

Great work.

Wow zeb, pretty pictures. Makes me want to go check on my outdoor girls.

[Puffzter]

Damn!
I hope you have a big pipe and good tolerance man or your weed will go bad before you ever get a chance to smoke it all.
Why oh why can't I live where I can keep a few plants going outdoors?
I do love to have an indoor op, something I am the sole soul in the world that knows about and that only I have access to but to also have a few of these monsters growing out in the wild would be so cool.
Well done, awesome plants and good luck finishing your grow buddy.

[zebulon]

Thanks people....:thumbsup:

Time for a update....first the HOG X Shivas....:stoned:

[zebulon]

GHS Trainwreck.....

[zebulon]

And the Power Plant....
She's getting really big, in fact i think she is my biggest plant so far....lots of bud sites everywhere and already a strong smell, something like rotten oranges....

Well, enjoy....:hippy:

[bombdiggity]

DAMN This really makes me want to go on a seed planting rampage next spring. Only problem is I live in the city :(

Excellent looking plants! They are all monstorous!

I'm sure you'll be seeing pounds and pounds after harvest.

Keep it up bro

[FlyGuyOU]

nice look plants.

I had a thought about getting some synthetic predator (fox, or wolf, cayote...) urine and spraying that around to help with animals. Have you thought of using a folar spray of neem oil? it does a good job of keeping bugs off. Also I know that if you use ground up chili pepper scattered around it will keep geese away, it might work for rabbits too. i have no idea if it would mess w. ph, but i don't really think so.
keep up the good work, looking foreward to more pics

[hydrocannabis]

wow. holy sheet thouse look great as alwase. :thumbsup:

[zebulon]

Here are the latest pix...

First the HOG X Shiva's Joy plants....
If you look at the pic, you can see that there are basically 2 phenotypes, the 2 bigger plants(under the red arrows) are a bit more stretchy, look and smell almost the same way...they have a nice fruity smell, so i named it the Fruity pheno...
The other, smaller plant(under the green arrow) has more compact buds and a smell nothing like the others...i named it the Sugar pheno...

[zebulon]

Here are the pix of the Fruity phenotype....i think this has more sativa in it's genes, compared to the Sugar pheno..

I did some breeding today, and have pollinated a smaller/lower bud on each of the plants...used the pollen of a HxS'j male....

[zebulon]

The Sugar pheno....:stoned:

[zebulon]

The GHS Trainwreck.....finally starting to flower....

[zebulon]

The Power Plant...
Still growing, but also started to flower....she will be the last plant to finish, that's for sure...but gonna yield nicely, i hope....:jointsmile:

Well, enjoy the pix....:hippy:

[bcgrown]

Looking good:thumbsup: nice and healthy. Will get some nice buds off that PP I bet.

[hydrocannabis]

[SouthernGuerilla]

Lookin good! I really like the Sugar pheno... :greenthumb:

[inbud]

Your plants look so so excellent!
Thanks for letting the group know bout your new posts. Sure directed me to check out your journal.

I am gonna have to spend some time and read the whole thing...the different phenos interest me, I have two plants from the same seeds that look nothing alike. I made the seeds and they seem to be following their parents and each has the one parents characteristics.

Got to say again, GREAT looking plants!

[jakezking]

zeb, I'm always shocked and amazed by the incredible growth of your plants from visit to visit of your log. My first thought was that you were going to dread trimming those long-legged ladies, but then I pictured you with a stoney grin madly trimming away, sensing no pain in your fingers at all. Dude, you will have fun with all of those sweet things. Flippin' incredibly wicked lookin' ladies - I'm flat out stoned just lookin' at their pictures. ROCK ON, BROTHER!

[Shovelhandle]

:) Great stuff, Zeb!

[zebulon]

Thanks Bcgrown, Hydro, SG, Inbud, Jakezking and Shov.....i'm happy that you all like my log....:thumbsup:

It' time for an update on all plants....
First, the old, stretchy HxS...i haven't seen her since a month, but looks nice imo....

[zebulon]

The other 3 HOG X Shiva's joy plants....

[zebulon]

The Fruity phenos.....:jointsmile:

[zebulon]

Sugar pheno, filling out nicely.....:stoned:

[SouthernGuerilla]

You saved the best for last :p

Can't believe the number of trichomes on it already.

[zebulon]

[greenatik]

[hydrocannabis]

dammmm they look great. ur gunna have a huge harvest.:D

[d4twamp]

ZEB, nice outdoor grow the PP tree is lookin mighty tasty subscribed...I'll be watching, can't wait to see your harvest.

D

[Weedhound]

I agree! This should be the redwood tree log, not mine!

Your stuff is terrific Zeb.....haven't read the entire log but very impressive. There isn't any way I could do stealth growing myself.......just can't release that much control to nature but you've done an amazaing job. :thumbsup:

[killa12345]

omfg. omfg. wow wow wow wow. dammmmm they do look nice as hell.
:thumbsup:


I second this.....holy sh*t......bro they look sick.....man again WOW!

[zebulon]

Wow, thanks Rock, WT, Hydro ,d4 , WH and Killa....it's nice of you all to leave a comment....:thumbsup:

Well guys 'n gals , slowly we are getting closer to harvest, things are looking good so far....it was raining whole week, and it was colder then usually, but there is no sign of mold so far....there is some damage done by pests, but it's only minor....buds on the HxS'j starting to ripen up nicely, first harvest in 2-3 weeks....i have already took sample buds, because i had no herb left....chopped it up into little budlets, so it dried out fast...took buds from the plant that has fallen over(first plant in last update), and the sugar pheno....i have tried both, also gave buds to my buddy, who smokes lots more weed than i do....funny thing is both are pretty potent already, the sugar pheno has a smell and taste like hash, and tho it's completely dry, it burns really-really slow....i met my friend yesterday, who looked like a zombie from smoking all day - so it's already a great smoke, but it's not gonna be my favorite smoke for sure....it's like the typical dank weed you can get from dealers around here, it's strong and it puts you to sleep....not a daytime smoke, a mostly indica strain, some would call the high "boring"....I'm not a big indica fan, it's nice if i need to sleep - but i really can't wait for the Power Plant and the Trinwreck to finish...both look good so far, visited em yesterday, i gonna update the log in a few days....:hippy:

[Shovelhandle]

Really nice crop, Zeb. :thumbsup:

[zebulon]

Thanks Shov....:thumbsup:

And it keeps getting better...
You're right, here is a update....:stoned:

[zebulon]

The Sugar pheno, starting to ripen nicely....:jointsmile:

[zebulon]

The GHS Trainwreck....the tops starting to turn purple a bit, but she has almost no smell yet...

[zebulon]

Finally the Power Plant....i made a pic of her from the side, but it was really hard to squeeze her in, she's really big.....and has a great scent, something like beer and rotten oranges....:stoned:

Well, enjoy....:hippy:

[SnSstealth]

JEEBUS man....tis alll I can say....:greenthumb:

[d4twamp]

How tall is the PP tree Zeb...beautiful job

D

[greenatik]

real legit zeb :jointsmile::jointsmile::D nice looking plants, great grow man!

[zebulon]

Thanks people.....:D
How tall?? Well I am something like 5.75 feet tall, but can't reach the top...she's bigger than a telephone booth, i would say around 7.5 - 8 feet...
And this plant was not grown in my backyard, where i can water her every day...

[SouthernGuerilla]

The Sugar pheno, starting to ripen nicely....:jointsmile:

I want this one!

Everything is looking real nice. :yippee:

[inbud]

Just Simply Excellent!
How much longer do you think?

[jakezking]

zeb, your ladies are outstanding! They are flippin' HUGE! I am really curious to see what your final weight report on all of your plants is. You should wind up with a couple of pounds, eh? Each of your ladies looks to be sporting some serious glistening buds.

Well, my friend, I hope your chainsaw is lubed up and ready to rock, because it's going to get a sho nuff workout when you cut down all of those trees! I'm really happy to see you and all of your ladies doing really well. Be good out there!

[zebulon]

zeb, your ladies are outstanding!
My ladies where outstanding....was visiting today, they are gone....now i go to find a dark, quiet place where i can hang myself....:(

[Shovelhandle]

I feel your pain, Bub.

[SnSstealth]

Shit zeb...that sucks

[killa12345]

My ladies where outstanding....was visiting today, they are gone....now i go to find a dark, quiet place where i can hang myself....:(

Say it aint so zeb......my mouth just dropped to the floor! I was just about to complement u until i read this post. Hopefully some good karma will find you!

[DTRave420]

Aw shit zeb,

I just spent twenty minutes reading this thread thinking,"man,this guy's so lucky,he's growin' in Wallnut Grove"...Not the ending I was lookin' for...Guess nothings sacred to those damn rippers...

SO SORRY BRO...:(

[Rock.Steady]

wow Zeb, i'm speechless, sorry bro.:(

[MediJuana]

What happens happens, live on full force with positive vibrations.

Those plants were gorgeous, you know how to grow dank herb. find a nice tree and hang a big ol pot up there...for some reason even the people who arent tokers are attracted to the dank odor, only except to diminish rather than replenish.

Keep the plants growin! put em in multiple spots to minimize the chance of losing your whole crop

Toke on,

evolution by inhalation

[inbud]

I dont know if you will be back here to read this after the **** you have been thru, but my heart goes out to you. So, So very sorry Zeb.

I hope instant Karma hits all theives real strong.

[bickeybammer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... it cant be..... they were looking soo BOMB!! dude im sorry i know what your going through tho.... my only outdoor grows were jacked

[bickeybammer]

you still alive? :stoned:

[zebulon]

Yeah, i'm okay, already thinking about next year...:hippy:

[jakezking]

zeb, dude.... I just read your post about the flippin' jackin'. I hope the passage of the past few days has eased your pain/anger a bit. Just like everyone else on here, I would have been angrier than ever before in my life, as I know you were. And, your anger was justified! I saw someone mention karma in the posts following your terrible news, and I know the jackers will get what's coming to them. In the meantime, I hope you are able to concentrate on the beauty surrounding you. Also, you are a great person, and great things will come your way, my friend. I wish you all the best, and if there is anything I can do to help you out, just let me know!

and add. when I read ur stolen plant post I for real for real cryed for u. I could not help it. because I had 1 of my crops get stolen back when I grew in some sunny woods just last year.

now I grow in my back yard.:D

well the dead pain feeling does eventually subside. it did for me and a year later I now have 3 of the dankest plants ever.

so lets all take a moment of silence for the loss of zebulon's plants.

later D

[zebulon]

I can't believe how great you people are, this is such a nice thing, thanks for all the positive comments and karma....i already feel better, only thing i hope for is that the stolen weed gets smoked, hope it wasn't taken by some cop and got destroyed...whoever stole em is a lucky man, it was some really dank weed...
But, not all is lost...i managed to harvest that 1 lonely HxS plant hidden in the bush...it's not much but it's something.....
Stay tuned for pix....:hippy:

[d4twamp]

Yes those bastards are lucky indeed...Keep yer head up Zeb

zeb! I've been looking for good news lately. Crap seems to have been hittin' the fan all over the place, and your news hit me like a ton of bricks. But, now I hear there was a survivor? That is great news! I know it is only a small fraction of what you were expecting, but I'm glad to hear all is not completely lost! I bet that will be some of the best weed you've ever smoked too! Thanks for updating and sharing this good bit of news, my friend! I can't wait for your pics and smoke report!
