1st Post - 1st Outdoor Grow - Mighty Freeze

Jakezking......man thanks for the kind words man...your plants are awesome......i would love to have some shorter plants.....im just hoping the lawnman doesnt find thing 1......

I would try Dr. Chronic's Seed Bank.....Honestly, i dont work for him, or even live on the same continent for that matter...I order my seeds on a week day and they get here 3-6 days later....no joke....every single order, like clockwork..If i order on Thursday or Friday...i start looking on Monday, Tuesday for my beans....always freebies...most of the time better than the beans you ordered....check his customer satisfaction thead at his forum on hg420(1000's of positive feedback, always replaced cracked seeds). Id give him a try...ill never order from any one different.

Heres a link on the Hempy buckets by Hempy himself...

Cannabis and Marijuana seeds :: HomeGrown420 - The Hempy Bucket

Its just a sealed bucket with a 1/2 inch hole on the side an inch - 2 inches from the bottom filled with 4 parts perlite: 1 pt vermiculite......or all perlite....cover hole with screen.

Perlite = water retainning medium
Vermiculite = water wicking meduim

Just feed till you get water to come out of the hole water every 1-3 days...and your done.

It is so easy...i cant begin to tell you...i didnt get one burnt leaf thoughout the grow. If you have any question feel free to ask.

killa12345, dude, I seriously appreciate the referral to Dr. Chronic. I ordered from Rhino about 1 week ago, and over 1 month before that from Seed Boutique. I have not received anything from Boutique, and have written it off as being clipped by Customs, even though I have not received any notice of same. I am anxiously awaiting the Rhino order, which I expect in the next day or 2. If Rhino does not come through, I have been informed by my better 1/2 that I will not be ordering again for awhile. However, when I am next given the green light, I will try Chronic based upon your referral. It's nice to now know of his customer satisfaction and your good luck with him.

I'll also keep my fingers crossed Thing 1 does not come to anyone's attention. He is an amazing looking White Skunk, and even though he is a he, I am certain you could experiment with some selected pollination.

Thanks for stopping by my grow log, my friend! I wish you much success with your impending grow, beans, and tent! I am looking into the prospect of a tent as well, so I will be keeping an eye out for your review of the hut you ordered. Take good care out there!

EDIT/ADDITION
And, I just saw your post on the Hempy buckets. Dude, I'm going to seriously look into them. They sound incredible! Thanks again!

Jake,

I have probably bitten more then I can chew with the clones but at $10 a piece I figured it would be worth a try. I have one Apoth OG, one D. OG and one trainwreck....we'll see. I will probably start a grow log on the three in the next day or two (provided I don't kill them off<G>). The biggest problem I am dealing with is the heat even with opening the vents and running a fan its too hot highs in the 100s!

Alright, so I really enjoy taking pictures of MIQ's growth and progress, as it's really nice to be able to look back to see a detailed progression. She is really beginning to fill out, and zebulon is certainly proven correct in that she was simply undergoing an extra growth spurt. The "stacking calyxes" were a good sign of growth in this instance rather than a sign of heat stress, which I should have known since there were no additional signs of heat stress - although I had thought I might have been over-fertilizing her, which was causing the "braided rope" appearance. Thanks again, zeb, for your experienced input!

The stacked calyxes have finally begun opening their sweet mouths to stick their double-tongued pistils out at the world! And, all of the new pistil development is a sight for sore eyes, as I was becoming impatient as to whether MIQ would really put on some bud weight. MIQ is now sporting 3 good-sized buds, with many more smaller bud sites here and there.

I unhooked the paper clip from around MIQ's neck and the side of the bucket, as with all of the rain we've been getting, her roots were beginning to pull out of the soil a bit. Also, the lst seems to have done the trick, and there doesn't seem to be much point now in keeping her lst'ed over, as the new bud sites are large enough to get plenty of sunlight. MIQ's main cola has grown accustomed to the lst, so I think it will remain in its present curved shape, allowing the other smaller bud sites to continue receiving plenty of sunlight.

I took a few pictures this morning, following a nice little rain storm earlier in the morning. I was even able to grab a decent picture of a rainbow that formed to the West.

I'll add some "up-closer" pictures in a follow-up post. As always, I hope you kick up your feet, and stay awhile. Enjoy!

Here are the additional pictures. Enjoy!

I like that! Must be close to finishing up, yes?

I wanted to hit MIQ with another last shot of bloom nutes, thereafter putting her on straight-up water for the rest of her grow. I don't have a loupe or other magnification method to really take a close look at her trichomes, but I have not noticed any amber - don't know that my naked eye would really be able to notice cloudy. But, I feel after 1 last shot of Super Bloom, the 30 day water only period will allow sufficient time for the trichs to amber a bit.

My present smoke is a true couchlock, so I don't want a medium or high percentage of amber trichomes - another reason I think she'll be ready in the next 30+ days. How was that answer? Sorry for getting so long-winded, but I really like talking about MIQ - just ask my wife!

Thanks for stopping by again, Shov! I'm really surprised to see you gettin' around so well, given the fact you have an eLBow of fine herb layin' around, callin' your name!

She looks Mighty fine......:thumbsup:

I would say if you don't have a jewelers loupe, go whit the hairs - pistils. If they turn mostly brown, chop her up...

zeb, my friend, as always you provide some very sound and informative advice! I humbly thank you once again! She has a few brown/red hairs from some aged/dry pistils, but very few. I will hit her with 1 last dose of Super Bloom tomorrow, then she'll get nothing but water the rest of her days.

MIQ's position in the outdoor forum will be replaced by 4 up and coming bagbeans who were placed within a paper towel on Saturday, July 5, 2008. All 4 exhibited a 1/2 inch taproot yesterday, Wednesday, July 9, 2008, so I placed them in Jiffy pellets. They each shed their bean shell today, and I have placed them in a window sill. We'll see where they go from here. Just for posterity's sake, I am posting a picture of these girls. I thought I'd also share a picture of a poolside hibiscus.

Enjoy!

Dammmmm thats a beautiful ass bud.:thumbsup:

and good luck on growin the other beens.

Damn, real nice looking buds dude......:thumbsup:

How do they smell?

hydro, man with all the buds you've got growin', for you to to give some props like that, I really appreciate it, man! I'll need all the luck I can get on these beans - but, it will be interesting growing some bagbeans, but I can't wait for the pedigreed beans to make it here. I'm beginning to think these got nabbed too!

PJWill24, I appreciate the compliment, especially since this is my first grow. It ain't over yet though! Probably another 2 months until MIQ is all cured and ready for the smoke report. It's gonna be tough waiting that long! Thanks for stopping by, bro! Be good out there!

Now that's a darn good question, anbesol! You've hit upon a topic that I have not yet covered, even in the slightest. And, it's primarily because I have had a tough time really discerning what MIQ smells like. MIQ has had a pretty strong smell from the beginning, but really only discernable once you touched her. Over time her scent really developed. At this point, you can smell her within about a 4 foot radius.

As to the particulars on her scent, I've settled on sour. There is a slight underscore of chlorphyll. That's about the best I can do at this point. Dang good question. Thanks for stoppin' on in, my friend!

Well, I had to update the thread to let everyone know my beans have arrived safe and sound from Rhino! I won't go into the specifics as to how they were shipped - per stinky's suggestion in order to retain mystery as to each company's methods.

I am about to go pop them into a wet paper towel to begin the germination process. It should prove interesting, and I am looking forward to playing around with some fine new genetics.

I thought I'd share a picture of the bean envelopes. The beans are Nirvana PPP, Nirvana Bubblelicious, and Seedsman Colombian Red Haze. SWEET! Enjoy!

:woohoo: That's great news Jake....:thumbsup:

What are your plans?? In or out?? Outdoors i would say you still can get some yield, but they are not gonna be huge due to shortening days....it also depends on how far up north you live...

Bubbalicious? you going to try out your luck with that like bombdiggity? good luck jake!

Jake,

Oh boy new genetics what fun! I will be interested in how your PPP does I have heard some good things about it. Are you going to grow them outside or inside?

nice jake, I am glad your beans arrived :thumbsup: :D

that red haze sounds interesting, can't wait for everything to get goin!

miq is lookin tasty as well :food10:

peace man!

glad your seeds finally came....Nice.....Now we can see great things from u bro.....good luck on the new gear!:thumbsup:

zeb, I appreciate you feeling my enthusiam too! I am really excited to have just received the beans, as I thought they would be nabbed. As for my plans.... I am going to grow them outside, as I still have until around September 22nd for vegetative growth, and due to my location will have plenty of time before Jack Frost comes along. But, it will be a bit of an experiment to see how well they will do this late in the season.

I am only germinating 1 bean of each PPP, Bubblelicious, and Red Colombian Haze. And, the only plant I may have problems with is the RCHaze, as it's dominant sativa and is supposed to take dang near 3 months of flowering!

All of these beans are now going to drive me inside though, so I should have some fun even during the winter months. Thanks, as always, for stopping by, zeb. I hope all is well with you, my friend!

anbesol, I know better than to tangle with Chuck Norris. Then again, I think if Chuck Norris and Fat Elvis were to fight, it would result in something akin to a nuclear blast. Those 2 dudes are/were some bad mammajammas. I am looking forward to the BBL though, as bombdiggity did a darn fine job with it, and it looked outstanding. We'll see how well it does outside! I appreciate your stopping by, my friend, and thanks for the well wishes - I'll need them!

luna! Good to see you again. The first round will be grown outside - we'll see how well it works out with such a late season grow. I know I will have plenty of veg time, and I'm pretty confident the BBL and PPP will have plenty of flower time; but, I'm not certin if the CRH will have time - only time will tell, eh? It should be fun!

I'm looking forward to the PPP too! should has done a darn fine job making this strain look outstanding - you should check out his thread to see a mighty fine PPP specimen - he had a bit of a bat guano issue, but has overcome it great! And, zeb has a PP that is 2d only to his Big Bang in size and performance, so the genetics should overcome my newbie grow skills!

But, I'm not putting all of my beans in 1 bucket, as I'm only working with 1 bean of each at this point. I wanted to save the rest for an indoor grow - to be set up beginning in the Fall. I've got some ideas, and I may have to burn my Christmas present on the setup; but, I think it will all work out. I just need to get my plans firmed up.

I hope all's going well with your grows. It sounds like your WWs are a sight to behold! Take care out there, luna!

greenatik, it's good to see you again, my friend! Yeah, the CRH really caught my eye when I was thumbing through strains on the Rhino site. 20% THC levels? Holy smokes! That's all it took to sell me on it. I did a Google search on it too, and ran across a grow log on another board. The grower started it out on 12/12 because of the long flower period, and he had some good results, even though he had to harvest early. Therefore, even though this is a late season planting and RCF is a long flowerer, I expect to still get a pretty good yield!

I can't wait to check back in on Pilav! She was looking mighty tasty the last I saw of her. I know she was showing new pistil development too - the glory of the sativa, eh? But, the long flowering looks/sounds like it's worth it! Be good out there, my friend!

killa12345! I appreciate the visit, bro! I don't know about getting great things from me - I like to just putter along in the crowd, doing my own thing so as not to draw attention to myself. But, when you're an extra large Elvis impersonator, sometimes you just stand out from the crowd, eh? Luckily for me, I'm nothing like the avatar.

I can't wait to get some taproots out of the PPP, BBL, and RCF. They were put in paper towels yesterday, and are beginning to wrinkle up a bit, so maybe in the next day or 2 they will hit their Jiffy pellets.

For the time being though, I get to plant a few of the bagbeans today, so that should keep my attention diverted from the pedigreed beans for awhile.

Thanks for stopping in, killa! I can't wait to see you with your new setup and genetics, as well as check out that Critically Smashed!

I should have a critically smashed log up in a few days(i tried my typical germinating method, and it failed for 5 days, placed them in jiffy pellets, and the seeds cracked in a day).... im using the old setup for the time being.....I ordered the homebox, and seeds.....just waiting there arrival... I will dedicate the homebox XL to the CH9 Fem Seeds i bought.....to my understanding.....CH9 green bud is a reworked female version of Ed's "super bud" cubed with 5 female pollens to get the fem seeds. Should be nice....the reviews are always great...so

And good luck on the new bagseed grow....i also live in a place that flowers late outside, which might be the reason i have to kill all my outdoor plants.....i started them in april.....and now they are like 4 ft tall.

Best of luck with your new grow. When are you planning on starting? I ask because I'll be starting my next indoor grow in about 8 weeks and I'll be having my new log along with yours.

It's great to have pot "coming out your ears" <G> I just made a batch of butter, used about 1/3 for a batch of banana bread. Hoping that they are KILLER as I'm going to my bud's 60th bday party and he loves edibles. He has such a high tolerence to smoking that edibles are a real treat for him.

later, fatty (my buddy's name too!)

killa12345, I'm glad to hear about the Smashed popping! It's gotta be the name that has me so excited about following that grow, as I don't know a darn thing about it. I'm sure it will live up to its name for you! I haven't read anything about the CH9 either - I need to branch out more often. I know it will love being all up in that tent! Those outdoor plants sound like flippin' monsters! That's a heck of a problem to be on your hands - is there any lower development so you could just cut them back?

I'm excited about your new log, my friend, and I know you will have plenty of luck on your side this go 'round; but, you also have the know-how and the minds of many an experienced grower around you on this board to help you along where needed. Without the folks on this board, I would have killed MIQ off long ago! Have a good weekend, my friend!

Sho, I need all the luck in the world, so thanks for heapin' more upon me! I just put a few beans in paper towels yesterday for a late season roll of the dice. I don't really know when I'll be trying to set up an indoor tent. It stays pretty warm around these parts for awhile to come, and I haven't quite figured out location of the indoor operation - there's some finagling and wrangling to do before I can really map something out. What are you going to grow this go 'round?

Man, that banana bread sounds good, and it will make a helluva birthday treat for your bro - a really generous and kind offering. How does your latest batch of bud treat your friend's tolerance? I would expect he can still fly with the birds off your 4th of July special, eh? It sounds like it will be a heck of a party - have a great time, my friend!

Thanks for the kind words....the Critically Smashed were freebies from Dr. Chronic....They are supposedly a cross breed between Mr. Nice's Critical Mass x White Rhino

killa, I know you are anxious to get started. Have you gotten any good taproots on your Critically Smashed? Any cotyledons?

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of the bagbeans that are on Day 3 of their lives - the soap opera has begun. They have their cotyledons and their 1st set of real "sho-nuff" leaves. They're now outside, but are shielded from heavy rains which seek to destroy them. The 4th bagbean that germed is now a goner - I pulled the bean shell off her way too early.

I have also thrown in a pic of the paper towels where the pedigreed beans reside. The PPP already has about a 1/4 inch taproot; the Bubblelicious has cracked and is starting to snake out a bit of a root, and the Colombian Red Haze has cracked being just a bit behind the BBL.

The pictures aren't that impressive, but I just wanted to document the early stages. Y'all be good out there!

hey jake, hows that miq doing? from the last pics, looks like she's still going strong. happy to hear your beans didn't get nabbed and they're all on their way, good luck on the ratios (female/male, sprout/dud)

i'll be checkin in...

gmorning

Are you starting a grow log for those babies 2? and are those for your indoor grow or your outdoor?

Hi man.
Nice project you have going there. I would love to be able to grow a few plants outside as well as indoors as I am now but that wont be possible for me sadly.

Good things is I dont need to worry about dogs, insects and hard weather downside is that it would be lovelly to have a project like yours that would give me something so take care of under the (sometimes) clear sky. :)

Good luck with your babies m8.

Mr.GoodMorning02, I appreciate you stopping by again! And, good morning to you! I'm about to update MIQ finally, so you'll see she's doing pretty well. My guess is she has about 2 weeks left before harvest. I'll also provide a bit of an update on the beans - PPP is doing great; BBL is in a Jiffy pellet still, and CRH is in the same condition.

I hope all is well with you, bro! Be good out there!

I don't know if I will start a log on the bagbeans and the pedigreed beans. I may update this log from time to time even after MIQ. But, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with this log. We'll see where things take these plants - they will be grown outside though.

Thanks for stopping by to check in on MIQ and the other lil' girls. I'm lookin' forward to catchin' up on your log too!

My grow @

Puffzter, it's nice to see you in my log, bro! Growing outside seems to be a whole lot easier than inside. I'm still trying to figure out how/when/if I will set up an indoor grow. I'll probably be plaguing all of you indoor guys with tons of questions.

Good luck on your grow - I've got a lot of catching up to do on a bunch of logs, and yours is on the list. Take care, amigo!

Alright, I've been pretty derelict in updating this log - my apologies. Life must be lived.

MIQ is looking really great these days. She is absolutely covered in glistening trichomes. I even notice a few small winged insects had been trapped on the resinous trichomes - much like fly paper!

I obtained a 30x loupe, and in looking at MIQ this morning most of her trichs have become quite cloudy. A lot of her pistils are drying into some nice reddish brown hairs. Strangely enough though, many of her calyxes still have not extended their pistils, especially on the underside of her main bud (I leaned her bucket over to take some good underbelly shots of her main bud - I was really impressed with those shots).

As for her smell - after thinking about it for awhile, I've settled upon a sour lemony smell. So thick if you disturb her trichs that you can almost taste it.

I plan on continuing to look at MIQ's trichs to determine when to harvest her, and am thinking she only has a couple of weeks left. I'm really torn on how much amber to allow, as I really want an up high, but that couchlock, eating frenzy buzz is pretty nice too. I may have to flip a coin to decide.

Well, enough of my rambling, and on with the pictures. In a separate post below, I will update a bit on the bagbeans and the pedigreed beans.

I hope all is well with everyone here - Be good out there!

Here are the rest of the MIQ pictures. I tried to get as much detail of her as possible.

I hope you enjoy them.

Aloha

I thought I would give a brief update on the bagbeans and the PPP, which is the only pedigreed bean to really be thriving. The Bubblelicious and Colombian Red Haze sprouted some pretty good taproots, and since I was going out of town for a few days I decided to put them in Jiffy pellets a bit early; they have been in the pellets 1 day shorter than the PPP, and have yet to stick their heads above the peat; but, their roots seem to be thriving, so I'm letting them take their time.

The bagbeans are on their 4th node already, and appear to be really strong. The only difference I see between the PPP and the bagbeans at this point (yeah, the PPP has already caught up with them at 3 nodes - it seems to be an incredibly strong strain!), is the PPP's nodes seem to be grouped more tightly, and the bagbeans seem to stretch more between nodes.

I've only included a few of pictures. The first is a nice group shot with the PPP on the far right. The 2d shot is a representative shot of the bagbeans development (a close up of 1 of them); and, the 3d picture is a close up of the PPP.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Be good to each other!

Looking good, jakezking...:thumbsup:

I wish I could grow outside (sigh)..:(...too many choppers around here...:s4::apachecopter:

...anyways...it looks like you got the outside growing down pat...have you got that inside growing plan ready yet?...it's a lot of fun too...:smokin:

ps...if the loupe don't suit you...try this from Radio Shack...$12...:cool:...(snip a very small piece of bud leaf and put it on a white paper plate, 60x100)...enjoy.

Jake,

You new grow is looking fine and your MQ is making my mouth water. I had read a while back that self flowering strains do not get amber pistils but that is obviously wrong since your lovely lady has them. Good to know for future reference since I may try to a grow with them this winter.

It doesn't surprise me that your PPP is the same size as your bagseeds while your other two are still a lot smaller since the PPP is suppose to be a hearty big grower.

Will you be starting a new grow log with the babies?

DP, man, it's nice of you to stop by my log. It's sort of winding down, due to work really putting a crimp in my style, but sometimes you have to go with the flow in life. I don't know about me having the outdoor growing down - I had some bad luck with beans and my PPP here lately, which I will detail in another post below; but, you can't keep a good man down, so I'm picking myself up, dusting myself off, and continuing onward - whether it's the right or wrong path, I couldn't tell you.

Thanks for the headsup on that mini microscope. It looks like it would be a whole lot easier than the loupe. The loupe works like a champ, but is sometimes difficult for me to manipulate into the exactly right position.

Thanks again for stopping by, my friend. I hope to see you around these parts again soon! Be good out there!

luna, it's good to see you again. I was able to steal away a bit from work to make a post today. MIQ was looking so good, I could not resist harvesting her. Her pistils were beginning to dry up mighty nicely, and most of her trichs were cloudy with a few turning amber. I have some good couchlock grass, and wanted some pick me up, so I thought I would see if I could get an up high out of MIQ at an earlier harvest.

Bad news with the PPP, but the bagbeans are doing great! I think I am going to drop a few more pedigreed beans today, as I have to see what they can really do.

Thanks for popping in again, luna. Take good care out there!

Hey jake, nice to meet you and I must say, you have got some hardy little babes there! Looks like all nug no stem :wtf: aha wow they sure are lookin good and I hope you have some better luck with the beans and the PPP, outdoor seems to be waterin itself this year in canada :rasta:

Ok, so I'm a bit of an impatient person, but there is also a rhyme to my reason. The jar of grass I presently have to smoke is real couchlock, quality stuff - it is a mixture of 3 different strains a buddy provided me. As variety is the spice of life, I was shooting for some really pick me up, cerebral smoke, so I decided to harvest MIQ on Tuesday, which was Day 82 of her life and Day 58 of flower.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I sort of felt bad pulling her out of her bucket after the past nearly 3 months of taking care of her. And, she seemed so much larger in the bucket - strange. Her root system looked to be in really good shape.

For harvest, I pulled her out of her bucket, thoroughly rinsed her roots with tap water, to clean all of the soil off them, then I hung her upside down for 1 day. Her roots were completely dry after a full day of hanging out, and her fan leaves had shriveled. I've read it takes a good long while for a plant to completely dry when roots are left intact. But, I wanted to see if leaving the roots intact would provide 1 last gasp for her to really try to pop her flowering in hopes of reproducing. I won't have anything to compare it to, but hope it helped some.

I will post the pics of MIQ's last day of life, and a pic of her hanging to dry with root ball intact. The drying/curing process will continue in a subsequent post below.

Haro bmx 420, it's nice to meet you too, bro! I'm glad you stopped by and hope you like reading and viewing my log. MIQ ended up being a mighty fine strain - Mighty Freeze, which I started out not knowing a dang thing about, nor anything about growing. This board and it's incredible members led me to understand a thing here and there, so MIQ faired well in life, hopefully leading me to fair well in her ripening/curing.

My bagbeans are doing great, as you will see below in a post yet to be added at this time. The PPP was doing great, but she suffered a life-ending accident. But, never fear, I have 27 more beans!

I hope to see you around more, Haro! Be good out there, and thanks again for stopping by!
