My First Georgia Outdoor Grow

nice dude.

I'm also in GA. I'm growing some sack seed this year, they look mostly indica. I've managed to find a few sandy spots that get at least 5 hours of direct sun per day in the middle of the mostly pine forests around here.

I've started some around the first of may through the first of june, so my oldest ones are just now growing their 6-8th real sets of leafs.

Soil mix is - sandy soil, worm manure, compost, cow manure, top soil, hummus and hardwood ash.

I've been using roughly 8oz of urine per 1 gallon of water with 2 tablespoons of molasses to water them once a week or every 2 weeks.

I figure I'll be making hash out of most of these plants(cause of low grade cannabis) if the deer dont eat them again this year. I've made a naturalized fence of vines, thorns and briers.

I had some G13 x Rock Bud seeds last year, they were awesome.
Didn't get to let them flower, knowledge of their existence was compromised by some unsavory characters. :(

Dang man, sorry about last year. Only a few people know that i have outdoor plants and no one knows where they are, so hopefully nothing will be compromised.

Are you logging your grow? Post some pics if you can.

Peace!

hey dgs can we get some update pics? great thread

Only me and the birds know about my grow this year. I would take pics but my digital camera was stolen at the airport a month ago.

I'm doing little as possible with my plants hard enough to keep everything from drying out and turning brown else where.

Yeah, outdoor growing has proven to be tougher than i thought because you can't control a lot of factors that affect the plant. At this point, i'm not expecting much from my crop. It's more of a learning year for me, and i will know much better for next time.

I'll probably post some pics tomorrow if i can get out to the patch. I've been kinda busy lately... with partying and drinking and stuff...

Pics tomorrow hopefully!

Peace!

So it's been a while since i went out and had a good look at the patch. Obviously i haven't taken pictures in a long time, but are you guys in for a treat now.

This is what 11+ weeks of unrestricted outdoor growing can look like. These plants are 5 feet tall and more. The Thai Stick plant that i didn't top is over 6 feet tall and i had to hold my camera at arms length above my head to get the shots of the top of the plant.

I haven't watered or fertilized in about 3 weeks and it hasn't rained that much, but these plants look great anyway.

Here we go...

Pic 1: I totally forgot to mention this plant. It is the male Master Kush that i topped. It was close to 8' tall and was starting to flower. I actually didn't chop it all the way down, I just chopped the flowering and budding parts off. This way i can possibly take some clones and make a new strain, Mango Kush!
Pic 2: This is another male MK plant that i chopped down. This one might have pollinated the ladies a little. Whoops!
All 5 of the MK plants i planted ended up male. I didn't get a single female from 5 plants. Fortunately i have 5 more seeds i can do next year.
Pic 3: This is Mango plant #3. It is the front right plant in the triangle of glory. You'll see what i'm talking about.
Pic 4: This is Mango plant #2. It's the back plant in the triangle.
Pic 5: This is Mango plant #1. It is the front left plant in the triangle. This one is the most typically sativa looking plant i have growing by far. The buds are slower growing and the leaves are very thin and in clusters of 9 and 11. I can't wait to see what this plant can do for me.

Pic 1: This is the triangle of glory. These were the very back 3 plants in a bowling pin setup of 10 plants (that was the shape of my garden). The front right is the most typically indica, the front left is the most typically sativa, and the back one is a bit of a mix.
Pic 2: This is Mango #4. It is the runt. It's probably only 2.5 feet tall and only has a few budding sites. I expect the reasons for this are genetic, because all the seeds grew in the exact same conditions. If i get an oz from this one, i'll be happy.
Pic 3: Mango #2. Close up of the main bud.
Pic 4: Mango #3. Main bud again.
Pic 5: I think this is Mango #2. It's a downward shot of the top of the plant.

Pic 1: Downward angle of Mango #2 top half of plant
Pic 2: Downward angle of Mango #1 top half of plant. Notice the huge difference between this one and the other 2 Mango's
Pic 3: Mango #1. This is a close up of the main stalk. It looks like this all the way up and down the 5 foot main stalk. Mango #2 in the background.
Pic 4: Thai Stick #1 in the front and topped Thai Stick #2 in the back. These plants are huge. Each is at least 6 feet tall and has HUGE long broad leaves. Basically it looks like a pot plant from "Giant Land." Strangely, neither of these have started blooming yet. I'm thinking the Thai influence is probably to blame here. This strain is supposed to be a mix of the original Thai genetics from the 70's and an original skunk strain from back in the day (maybe #1?). They are definitely not showing any male pre-flowers and they seem to have long strange-looking hairs growing out of the stalk where the female pre-flowers are supposed to be. The untopped one (TS#1) is starting to grow shoots in a zig zag pattern, which usually indicates flowering. I'd say that by the end of this month, i'll be able to accurately sex these plants.
Pic 5: This is TS #2, the topped one. It has grown very large since i topped it. This plant was the worst looking of the topped plants 3 weeks after i topped them, but it has come back very nicely.

Pic 1: TS #1 from a downward angle. For this pic, i held the camera at arms length above my head and took a blind shot. Each of those main fans of leaves is longer and wider than my hand by a lot.
Pic 2: TS #2. Not as tall as TS #1 but just as impressive. It'll be interesting to compare the difference in yield between these guys.
Pic 3: TS #3. Another runt. This one is only 3 1/2 feet tall, but since sun and rain are free, theres really no reason to chop it down. The only problem i can think of is that bugs and disease are attracted to weak plants. I'm sure that if i keep my eye on it, everything will be just fine.
Pic 4: Another pic of the triangle of glory. Different angle and lighting.

Pic 1: Full length shot of Mango #1. Wow, i can't wait!
Pic 2: Full length shot of Mango #2. Another very pretty plant, but obviously very different. I was under the impression that Mango was almost entirely Indica, but obviously i was wrong.



Well guys, that's it for this update. I didn't water or fertilize today since it's been raining recently. I'll probably head back over there next weekend to check up on the patch.

Please feel free to leave comments or questions.

Peace! :jointsmile:
