ranger weed, outdoor '13

[tlranger]

Was asked if I went fallow this year, but peer pressure around here, had to try something.

With three different grow areas. I find it easier grow what fits, I'll try to explain. Down stairs my Canadian thrives, outside it just seems to pack leaf at my high temps. The turbo diesel loves the tent and outdoors but hates downstairs. The sativa(?) hates the indoor.

So welcome to the jungle294612 once inside there's the girls294613 294614294615 plus a couple294617

Wow dude! Awesome camo! You've made it an art form! You've re-awakened on old dream of mine, joining a commune. Could I be your neighbor? Am I too old to run away?

You have me smiling! Peace & giggles!

[Esteban1]

Heavens to mergatroids, nice job to date bro!

[Buggy]

Love how you have such a variety growing around - so much easier to miss the star player! :)

[tlranger]

Cat just want to say, adapt or die, in all the problems we face rippers have been my special bane.

Then recently they have started the drone Training facility in my b back yard(so to speak), after using Google earth I decided to try and be more careful.

Lesson from cali - they always need a good cook, hard to believe that's my second job there.:jointsmile:

[tlranger]

Este, snaggal bud, thanx but it ain't over till the fat lady sings,"take me down to Paradise City"

You had a thread about smell control, here's one of my natural close goons, 294699 smells like you wouldn't believe takes my breath away when bruised and bites like a bee.

Buggy, hiding in plane sight

[tlranger]

Happened today, underneath communing with ladies, and hear this rumble. Ranger tip-watch from cover. Waiting, getting louder, waiting, louder, finally a shadow(feel like the raccoon with the owl hooting at night), it's the f###ing B-1 bomber going low low and slow, the ladies actually trembled.

But it was super cool, looked like a space ship at first

[catbuds]

Damned. Bet you nearly fertilized your ladies! My ex had a scare one night. We'd taken to camping at our biggest patch & it was his turn (we alternated). He comes running into the house, white as a ghost, eyes big as saucers. He said we were about to get busted, cops everywhere with flashlights. Flashlights at night? That would be theives, cops go in in broad daylight. They don't need the cover of darkness. I go running to the patch ARMED TO THE TEETH, sling shot, machete, 38 pistol & 22 rifle. I look around.....& saw what he'd seen. STARS! BRIGHT ASS MFing STARS! I marched back into the house PISSED, grabbed him by his ear, dragged him out the door & made him go back out there & take his turn at watch. Of coarse I told him what it was & made a few remarks about stupid & cowards.
A few months later, full bud, the cops DO come. Better cops than thieves. Dumbasses stomped down quite a few while LOOKING for them & never.found.one! STANDING on them, but couldn't find one! The only time I've ever appreciated stupid. It was sheriff dept deputies. I wonder if they're all that dumb?

[tlranger]

No their not, nothing for granted, always thank good luck.

[catbuds]

Yeah. A lot of ppl said they never saw such dumb luck as what we'd had over a couple of things that year. Grow room fire that only burned some plants, sheet plastic & all the wireing. Could have been the house, hell, could have been us. We were asleep. 1984, the year of just dumb luck.
Peace.

[Buggy]

TL - What plant is that that you posted for smell issues? my computer won't open it for some reason. Eventually we'll move so houses are not less than 20 feet apart on each side, so looking for ideas ahead of time!

[tlranger]

Buggy it's wild around here, called itch weed, believe it's a local nettle. But not sure, thbught some of these guys might know, but it's a wicked one. Saw video about stinging nettles. Today noticed that wasps seem to like the flowers,a twofer.

[tlranger]

I'll take what I can get, helpers294736 294737

[Esteban1]

Tree frog & a mantis, better than the FBI!

[tlranger]

Female body inspector, nice one!!

[catbuds]

Cute little tree frog, & he's helpful, can't beat that. Pics kinda sm on cell ph screen. Thought it kinda looked like stinging nettle. I wonder if lavander's fragrance would be strong enough to help?

[lipps]

No mater how many times the chopper comes around it still gets the butterfly's a fluttering.....never get use to it.

[tlranger]

Cell phone, shoot I havta to wear my specs to see this tablet screen

[catbuds]

You should see my reading glasses, look like coke bottle bottoms. At least its a lg android ph. Could be worse.

[tlranger]

Have some lavender, spearment, chocolate and lemon stuff, several of the spices. But these are mainly in the close garden, the one by the house where the visitors are hearded. The other place is just the compost piles and gourds and weeds and nettles, don't go there.

But today had just a little rain, and the honeysuckle dumped a bunch of blooms on the ladies, kinda spruced them up.

[tlranger]

Had a bunch of rain quick last night, today had been busy. Tying up and new supports, use hemp bailer tyine, tie loose about half way up plant get several loose wraps around plant and tie up in this case, have used same to tie down.

took three branches that had broken to far, test weed. In the alley way system am able to run horizontal supports about anywhere.

Topping to keep the height down worked pretty well, But it sure got beat up more in the storm

[catbuds]

Spunk & perseverance my friend, you have it by the truck load! Lotta work. Hope you had a trustworthy friend to lend a hand. Since I'm not exactly sure where you are, I was wondering about your winters. Are they mild enough for plants to survive? (REALLY want to relocate. Thinking best climate for grow=best for arthritis. Win-win. Lots of questions for u on thus topic. Be glad 2 c us get P.M.'s)
Hoping for perfect weather for you untill harvest. Best of luck to you.

PEACE.

[tlranger]

You don't want here, 110°>-30°F. Drove thru area in OK where Orange trees where growing, always seemed like a good Indicator to me

[CaptainOrganicsCO]

Really impressive tlranger! Awesome job in all regards!

[CaptainOrganicsCO]

Outdoor is awesome. I grow indoor only because I have too. If I could do outdoor I'd have weed for the rest of my life for next to nothin'
A fella can dream...

[tlranger]

Thanks cap, the few I grow outside, come in handy. They will produce what my indoor does in a whole year. This one's from cali grow, my big girl296593

[catbuds]

Outdoors can't be beat! (Well, mabe a well placed greenhouse). I've gotten over 2 lbs on plants left natural in full sun, but now I have to hide them under the trees. Cuts me down about half. (At first I'd said 'in' trees, but a tree top greenhouse would work for me if I could only get my old ass up there!) Ah shit, here I go dreaming again. Now I want a tree top grnhse. Can you put an elevator in one of those things? LOL!
-- Damned Ranger. I bet that baby weighed in over 3 lbs or more dried. She was a whopper! Glad the freeze didn't completely ruin you & you still have smoke. So were you able to salvage anything from the frozen ruins? How many clones do you have? I'm sure you'll grown some seeds to fill in the gap too, but at least having some clones will keep the wait from being as long as it could have been. I have to laugh a little when I try to picture the look on the boys faces when they realized what they'd done. I'm sure nothing you could have said would have made them feel any worse. Bet they expected you to kill them!
-- Here's to a great outdoor harvest for all of us next year! Capt, so sorry you can't for now. Nothing beats wearing your camo, camping out between your 'patches' for the whole grow. To be young again... Now its less than 20 in the back yard. No more camping in camo with my cute little rifle. But 12-15 in the back yard works! :) :) :)

[tlranger]

I went up stairs(in the trees) for a couple of years. Right after Ruby Ridge. Had people walk right under me and not look up. Vast amount of work. Had some cali trimmers show up, moral support(visit the old man) two were wearing camo, claim they wanted to be like me (joke joke I'm sure). Yes maybe some salvage, some
