Jake's Bunches O' Beans Grow Log

Well, the biggest change around these parts is that the 1st Batch, except for the Colombian Red Haze, is now in real dirt. I transplanted them today into the earth, and so far they seem to be loving it. I'm going to try to find locations for several other plants, so I don't have to keep up with so many containers.

As before, I have confirmed 1 Bubblelicious male, which I have planted near the other Bubblelicious and Old School, hoping the second BBL and OS are female so I can get some seeds.

Since the CRH is a slow grower, I left her in her bucket until she develops further.

Sorry for the delay in providing pictures. I took some over the past week, but they weren't the best as I didn't have much time. Hopefully, these pictures are a bit better to give y'all an idea on how the 1st Batch is coming along - updates on the 2nd and 3rd Batches will follow this post, as will replies to all comments.

1st pic = hopefully female BBL
2nd pic = male BBL
3rd pic = hopefully female OS
4th pic = CRH, still in her bucket

As always, thanks for stoppin' in!

Alrighty then - here is the 2nd Batch in all of its glory. Actually, you'll notice some deterioration of the lower leaves. I'm sure some of it has to do with nute burn; I don't know if I'll ever learn my lesson. Perhaps 1 day I'll break down and buy some nutes that are better suited for MJ so I don't burn my plants all the time. I know all about flushing and 1/4 strength moving up, but I don't know much about patience - all in due time I suppose.

1st pic = Lemon Skunk
2nd pic = Super Silver Haze
3rd pic = Sour Cream
4th pic = Sour Cream
5th pic = Northern Light

More update on the 2nd Batch will follow in a subsequent post....

Here are the last of the 2nd Batch.

1st pic = SSH
2nd and 3rd pics show SSH which was planted in the earth. It really began faltering while in its Silo cup; its leaves began tacoing and appeared to have been burned; however, I had not given any of the 2nd Batch any nutes. Since I don't really know what's up with it, I thought I'd plant it in the ground to see if it could fend for itself.

I probably should post within Plant Problems, but I like learning on my own - feel free to input some comments/advice/suggestions if you feel like it; but, I'm not too worried about plant problems. Most of the time they seem to resolve themselves; or, I'll know if I goofed something, and I'll flush. Since I'm not inside, I can eliminate a lot of issues pretty quickly. Also, since I'm not inside, most other issues are outside of my control - ergo, no sense in worrying.

Next up - the 3rd Batch, which luckily will be short and sweet, as I've yet to transplant them into buckets. Transplanting the 1st Batch into the earth will allow me the buckets I need to transplant the 3rd Batch - I just need to go buy more soil.

Finally, we have the 3rd and final Batch. These critters are coming along fine. They actually are not far behind the 2nd Batch - only 9 days of veg, which you can't really tell.

1st pic = NL
2nd pic = NL
3rd pic = lateral view of LS
4th pic = apical view of LS
5th pic = same view of last LS

Oh - forgot to mention 1 last item; the PPP from the 1st Batch showed male, and it was not a very healthy specimen, so I yanked it and shredded it. The Bubblelicious male should do the trick for the beans I'm looking for.

Y'all be good now, ya hear!

Very true and spot on comment, my friend. Do you also go by the handle of Pinball Wizard? I swear I saw a dude that reminded me of you on another board. Speaking of pinball - back in the old days, I played a pinball game that was based on a carnival; it had a ferris wheel, roller coaster, etc. It was the wickedest pinball game I've ever seen. Maybe when I win the lottery, I'll track 1 down. Anywhichway, thanks for stoppin' by, my Southern compadre!

Noooooooo - I'm not The Man, and I try hard not to be The Man. But, you're spot on with the Sour Cream; it sounds amazing. I can't wait for it to grow up, out, and all around. It just sounds mind blowing. I haven't had G13 or SD, so I know it's going to blow my hair back. Sweet analogy about the menage-a-trois! LMAO!

Hot Dang - it's greenatik himself! Good to see you after all this time. Now that the Winter doldrums are behind us, we meet again in the Grow Log arena, eh? I saw you at another board, but did not have membership privileges to reply to your post over there. Now I see you back here, which makes my life simpler - I can't get around like I once could. I know you'll have some serious green porn for us all to drool over here soon! Welcome Back!

Killa, dude, you're always welcome in the center of the room! Sorry it took me so long to get some pictures up and runnin'. And, there really hasn't seemed to be too much development. I think all of my plants are suffering from the serious heat we've had - not much rain either! But, I hope the posted pictures satiate you somewhat. I need to check in on your green/purple beauties. My ladies are sort of the scraggly Hustler level of porn, while yours are the glamorous Playboy beauties! We'll see if I can't get my ladies some implants, porcelain veneers, tanning bed tans, brazilian waxes, and maybe I can elevate them to Penthouse?

Feel free to look around and add some advice; I need all the help I can get from you experienced outdoor guys! I need to go back through your threads to look at your nute schedule. I've been looking at Advanced Nutrients or the like; I'm sure they would make my life easier!

Shake! Rattle and Roll, brother! I'm still beboppin' along; just been difficult to get some good pictures. I finally got 1/2 way organized today and sat down to take some comprehensive pics. It's becoming a pretty good challenge keeping up with all of these lil' green buggers; but, it really is rewarding and relaxing. I don't think I could have settled upon a better hobby! Glad to see you here again, my friend!



Now, off to dinner before my wife beats me down! I've been derelict in my household duties putting these pics and update together. But, I will find some time here soon to check out all of y'all's logs. I think I get more joy looking at all of y'all's greenies than I do my own! Aloha, mis amigos!

no worries jake. i completely understand. and also understand what it's like to not take care of ones household duties. i have been building a new grow box over the past 2 1/2 days. (i might get a log up sometime.)

i'm glad the little ones aren't making you loose your mind. i think it's a pretty good hobby too!


-shake

hey jake they look a little undernuted to me. what kind of soil is that? I had an organic soil that looked similar to what your using, nice aeration with the perlite, but i found out soon that it has no nutrition in it whatsoever. If you decide to get some mj-geared nutes I would get the pureblendpro soil or botanicare granules for a time-release - both will work wonders

glad to be back man! you might get to watch me dangle my feet in hydro next run :blueknife:

Shhhhhhhhh.... My wife stepped out for a few minutes, so I had a brief opportunity to catch up on comments, and to get to a few logs. I look forward to your grow box construction log, shake. I'm still debating on whether to go indoor or not. I don't like having my ladies outside where a casual observer could put 2 + 2 together under the right circumstances. Good luck to you on keeping your hobby under control enough to satisfy your household duties. I think my hobby has turned into an obsession, but again, don't tell my wife!

greenatik, I greatly appreciate the advice. I need to pay more attention to watering, especially where I try to overcompensate during dryer times. I need to check each bucket, as each of these lil' greenies drinks different amounts. I'm lazy and tend to just pour water for all of them, not wanting to leave any out. I agree with you that there are at least a few of them that are probably overwatered. Also, I agree with you they very well may be undernourished as I am used to feeding in MG soil. I did go for some soil with no nutes, and even have some soil with no nutes and with supreme drainage, so water runs right through, as I imagine it does in coco coir. I'll pay more attention to both issues. Thanks again, my friend!

A white or clear plastic bottle or jug with the bottom cut from it can be used to buffer and improve the outdoor environment for little tiny seedlings. Put the jug over the wee plant. I use this for garden plants in the early Spring.

Use mulch also. Fine pine bark, peat moss, grass clippings/straw, wood shavings/sawdust, works to buffer the topsoil's moisture and can help with insect pests too.

Shove, I like to use 3 liter shasta bottles that I cut off their tops and use on my seedlings.

Jake, LOL! I know what you mean by an obsession smoking pot may not be addicting but growing it sure is. I have a tendency to over water too so I got a gizmo at Home De pot that gauges the water content and I am surprised by its results in both directions more times then not. So how about some new pics!

Jake, Oh tell your wife that caring for your little grows will make you a more sensitive and nurturing man.....if that doesn't work then tell in that in 15-20 years when she becomes a quivering mass of hormones she'll be grateful for all your growing experience(BG)

Shov, muchas gracias for the fine advice here! It's really why I am a member here - the helpfulness of the experienced growers. These lil' nuggets will not only help me on future grows but should also help other readers! Thanks - as always - for stopping in, my green-thumbed friend!

I know what you mean by growing being addictive; sort of like the Pringles commercials - once you pop, you can't stop! New pics are about to be posted; although this batch of photos isn't that good. I will take some time to take some better photos - hopefully later this week.

My wife is really laid back most of the time. And, in this case, as in most others she is right in that when I do get home from work, I need to spend my time with her and my kids rather than updating my log and/or viewing/posting in other logs, so my time on here will probably suffer a bit; but, I'll try to make the most of it. Life is all about priorities and learning to prioritize.

Updated pics to follow shortly.

I've had a few changes in my garden. First, most of my plants are now in ground rather than in buckets. Having them sitting out in the open was not really working for me, as I've had too much company of late. Prying eyes lead to questions, leading to lies - and, I don't like lying.

All of the remaining plants in the first batch are now in the ground near each other.

Pic 1 = Old School - really a beautiful plant;
Pic 2 = Colombian Red Haze - she's a very slow grower; and,
Pic 3 = Bubblelicious - appears male, but not fully developed yet.

All of the in-ground plants have gotten a full dose of Shultz 10-15-10 and Superthrive. They really seem to be enjoying the soil and nutes, as they have really taken off lately. Even the CRH seems to be growing much faster than she had in the bucket.

I hope you like the pics; they aren't the best. I hope to have better pics toward the end of the week.

Alright, so I basically combined my 2nd and 3rd Batches, as they were only 9 days apart. Also, I think I only have 2 plants left from my 3rd batch, having given away 1 NL, 1 LS; I also gave away 2 SSH. I needed to thin the herd!

All plants, with the exception of the Sour Creams, have made it into the ground.

Pic 1 = Lemon Skunk;
Pic 2 = NL - lost a leaf somehow; now is a bit lopsided (3rd Batch plant);
Pic 3 = NL - has really shot up;
Pic 4 = Sour Cream; and,
Pic 5 = 2nd Sour Cream.

I also still have a SSH that is a major runt, but I couldn't bring myself to pull it. And, I have 1 additional LS, but I forgot to take a picture of it - it's pretty well hidden.

Like I said above, these pictures are not the greatest, so I hope to have better pictures later. I was surprised I haven't updated the pictures in 9 days. I'm really getting behind.

Y'all be good out there!

everything is coming along jakez. you still have quite a flock. hope the slow pokes come around!


-shake

Jake, In my day it was Lay's "Bet you can't eat just one"(G) I'm lucky in that while my husband plays on his boat and tinkers in the garage I can fuss over my 'hobby'. I agree the Bubblelicious does look to be male. They are all looking good.

Hey Jake, what kind of climate are you growing in?

I've been reading up on outdoor grows, particularly as it relates to the hot & arid climate I live in.

It will really be interesting to see how all of these turn out, as well as keeping up with those that found new homes. I've really tried to just check on them every few days, so I really notice the growth changes. They really have taken off since they made it into the ground; in fact, they're basically worry free now, with the exception of heavy rains knocking on them a bit more. Thanks for stopping in, Shake!

It's really nice having such a fun hobby. I'm glad to hear your husband has his own hobbies to give him something cool to do while you are occupied. What does he think about your hobby? Or, is he tinkering around so much because he's enjoying the results of your hobby? Thanks for the input and kind words, luna!

McT, I was just in your log, and almost mentioned my climate in response to one of your last posts. It's exceptionally hot and humid where I am. I'm not sure of how arid your location is, but I would guess as long as your plants are started/become adapted to the outdoors, they should become acclimated enough to survive. I agree with your comments, you should find a strain that grows well in your region. As hot and humid as it is here, the 3 - now 7 - strains that I have grown/am growing seem to be doing just fine, and I didn't bother to check into each strain's genetics.

Good luck to you should you venture outside, my friend!

Thanks for the response Jake. By arid, I mean 25 to 40% humidity until the monsoon season in August and September when the humidity will climb significantly higher with temps still hovering around 105 to 110 degrees.

Dang - now that's hot, McT! When I said it's hot here, the highs are normally in the upper 90's to low 100's with humidity variable around 60%. With your humidity being a bit lower with a bit higher temperatures, it's probably about the same effect? You can always try a test plant outdoors to see how it works for you. If your soil isn't great, you can certainly grow in a container as I've done - I'd imagine it should work out fine for you.

Actually, we're planning to put the plants that won't fit in the tent during flowering outdoors and leave them in their hempy buckets. Hopefully we'll hve at least one female and a male to put outdoors and get some seed stock.

Jake, DH is happy that I have something now that works and has gotten me back to my old self. He doesn't partake, never has and has no interest but he helps with the heavy lifting on my grows.

McToker, Where I am during the summer our humidity is below 20% and our high temps typically hit up to 114. As long as I water daily, provide some shade, and make sure the plants are at least 2 months old before the heat hits they do fine.

Sounds like we are definitely in similar environment lunarose. Any plants we move outdoors will be at least 2 months old. We're going to build a shade cloth area for them that will cut down the sunlight/heat during the later afternoon. Thanks for the advice.

what up jake.....the plants are looking great...i love watching outdoor cannabis soooo much....mother nature is the bomb....one suggestion brotha....drop the lowes nutes and pick up a nute line or make some tea...it think you plants will highly benefit from it.....also....you might wanna look into a product called Zeba for outdoor plants....trust me...i use this sh*t a lot at work and its amazing....cuts down on water by 40%....i also use a product called hydretain and ecocentric....these products werent made for cannabis.....but i know zeba, and hydretain makes a product for agriculture approved by the usda....i dont know about the other one....do some research or ill ask....keep it up brotha...loving the show!

This is the first outdoor grow i have seen and i am very impressed. Those fan leaves look mighty healthy and large. Keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

Always something great to look at and also something interesting to read every time I stop by.:jointsmile:

Keep it up jake. Elvis is sending the good vibes towards the bunches o' beans, pretty sure. :jointsmile:

Keep that :greenthumb: green.

killa, maybe one day when I get a new job I'll be able to afford the nutes and water retention. I have been taking my vitamins and drinking a lot of water though. I hope all's been well with you, my friend. I need to stop by your log to see all of that incredible purple - that shit is insane!

Be, it's good to see you, and I appreciate the words. I think the good vibes did some good on the plants - I didn't realize how much they had grown until I just checked in on this log. I'll try to help the pictures jive. Be good out there!

You may remember the First Batch - the remaining plants are Old School, Colombian Red Haze, and Bubblelicious. I may have jumped the gun when I thought the Bubblelicious was male. Not one has shown any conclusive male parts. They did begin to show some serious pest damage, which had to have been a wayward caterpillar - Who Are You?

We'll catch up on some others in the next reply.

First 2 Pics = Old School
3rd Pic = Colombian Red Haze
4th & 5th Pics = Bubblelicious

We have a couple of really sweet lookin' plants here - the Sour Cream are some real stars. I'm sure a few of the others would have turned out really well too - namely the NL and Lemon Skunk - if they had been able to remain in containers. But, I only had a limited space on deck. I do have a NL recouperating, and the Lemons are only about 1/2 way behind, so they should still lend some help this Fall.

Pics 1 through 4 = Sour Creams 1 & 2
Pic 5 = The representative Lemon Skunk (the other looks similar even though it is actually a 3rd Rounder)

Not making the show are the stragglers - Super Silver Haze and NL (3rd Rounder). The SSH is really lagging behind (due to a rough start and a less than perfect grow space), and the NL is rehabilitating (I just forgot to take a picture of her).

I hope all has been well with each of you.

things are really coming along nicely jake!

as far as the nutes, you should be able to pick up some cheap worm castings or bat guano, probably even at lowes or the depot that will make some good tea for your ladies. just a thought.

do you get all of your strains confused? i mean, i have 2 dogs, 3 cats and many other animals. so i'll call em the wrong name etc! lol.


-shake

Jake, They are looking pretty good, better then mine which are stretching like crazy as if I can get them closer to the sun. It will be interesting to see the differences in size between your container plants and in ground. What's your soil like? Ours suck.

Hey Jake, lookin good man. I don't know why I haven't seen your log till now, but I'm on board. Been mostly lurkin. I'm in the same boat as you, I now have my 3rd batch germin starting today. I need a new camera to start a log on em, mine took a shit on me again.

Looking good Jake.

We just moved a male Blue Apollo outdoors. He'll stay in his hempy bucket though. Temps here will get back up to normal (107 F) in a few days. Don't know how he'll handle the heat.

Nice plants jake.....but i cant wait to see a hempy outside mctoker.....i personally think the unpredictable outdoor conditions are gonna mess things up but wow id be really surprised if it worked! Good luck!

Back to Jake....both batches look great....hope you find a new job soon bro....the economy is tough out there....hopefully some good karma will come your way.....see ya soon bro....one more thing....i think a few companies will send you a sample pack of nutes if ya call them....im almost sure AN, GH, and roots organics will send ya sample.....bro you gotta get resourcful in these bad times! Holla at ya boy sometime! EDIT: ADD HUMBOLT NUTES to that list!

Hot Dang! It's always a pleasure to read your smiling words, my friend! It's funny you mention being able to keep everything separate. It's easy for me to keep my strains separate, but I don't know how in the heck some folks are able to do so - some have WAY more than I do. I'm envious I can't grow as many plants as some folks, but we all have our constraints. I am happy I'm able to grow some to keep myself in plenty o' bud. And, of course friends never leave mi casa without some free bud - unfortunately I can't tell anyone from where it came.

Sorry to ramble, but it's getting late; and, I've had a few.... I hope all's well with you and yours! You've always got some seriously good vibes - I hope they find their way back to you 2 fold.

luna, it's always a pleasure to read your words. I've seen some of your pics - there's no way my plants look better than yours. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. That SourBubble of yours that did not auto = incredible! Soil here is not the best, but with a little help it gets by. The big difference in my plants is sunshine. Some of the in-grounders have much better sun, and they're getting to be pretty dang bushy - you'll see some pics in a bit. And, I'm rehabilitating a few of the stragglers; notice the NL which recovered nicely in container until recently making it back to a better in-ground spot. Dang, I can ramble like a sumgun after a few.... I can't wait to catch up with your ladies. My best to you and yours!

McDanger! It's been awhile, and I hope everything's been good out your way. I'm gonna have to catch up with what you've got goin' on. I completely understand the comings and goings - sometimes it's tough to find time for perusing this incredible board. Be good out there, my friend!

McT, I'll definitely have to check in to see how that BA is handling the outdoor hempy with some insane heat! That sounds like it should be an episode on the weed channel. Tune in next week when you'll find out if Mc'T's Blue Apollo male beat down the 107 degree heat. There's no doubt your indoor ladies are doing awesome. I know all of you have been doing good since you got your home to yourselves.

I'm goin' there from here before I update so I can see what I hope to be a happy beginning for the BA outdoors! Thanks to you I'm trying some of those free samples (only pay shipping). Flippin' awesome tip from you, my friend! ROCK! I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do.

Thanks for the well wishes too - we all have some ups and downs, which is fine as long as we only remember the ups. Sometimes when money gets tighter, families become closer which is a sweet silver lining. Killa, you're a good dude - it's always good to catch up with you. I hope all's well with y'all.

And, of course friends never leave mi casa without some free bud - unfortunately I can't tell anyone from where it came.

Alrighty then... this is going to take some serious concentration. The Old School, Colombian Red Haze, and Bubblelicious are the remaining 1st Batchers. They're on Day 87 of Veg; they're big but not that big since they don't get that much direct sunlight.

They've been getting some Schultz 10-15-10 with Superthrive and recently some 5-1-1 fish emulsion, so they're getting some pretty good Nitrogen. I'm going to lay off the Schultz and feed the lower N as the CRH and the BBL have not really shown sex - they're still just popping new leaf sets rather than any sex parts. The OS showed female within the past week or so.

Enough with the rambling on on to the pictures:

Pic 1 shows the OS
Pic 2 is an apical of the OS on the right with rehabilitated 2nd Batch NL left
Pic 3 shows side by side of the OS and NL
Pics 4 & 5 show the CRH really stretching for the Sun

Next up will be the Sour Cream and Lemon Skunk - I ran out of disc space before I could get to the SSH which is finally starting to grow - another bad location.

Yeah, I almost forgot about the Bubblelicious. It would be a beast if it had not been ravaged by a/some caterpillars. The back branches are pretty dang bare - nodes are tightening.

Pics 1-4 show the BBL is various sweltering poses
Pic 5 shows 1 of the possible culprits of BBL's involuntary thinness - that dang caterpillar was locked on to that tomato plant even after having munched about 1/2 of it down.

The Sour Cream is thriving under they're veritable babying. They've been my primary focus since I'm salivating for the Sour Diesel x G13 Haze buds - neither have showed but are starting to throw some seriously tight nodes readying themselves for some serious action 1 way or the other.

Pics 1-5 are focused on the left and right SC; level shots, apical shots, macro shots, and side by side view. They needed some extra photos.

Last but not least will be the NL and LS.
