1st Post - 1st Outdoor Grow - Mighty Freeze

Alright, I've been chompin' at the bit to post new pictures, as MIQ has really been working on her lower bud site development. Since the lst took place, MIQ's lower buds have taken off, and one of these bud sites is growing to about the same height as the main lst'ed cola.

Overall, I think MIQ is developing well. I'm looking for her to really begin to fatten her buds up, and will be adding some Green Light Super Bloom nutes to her soil today - it's been about 1 week since she last had bloom ferts, but I wanted to let her dry out a bit since all of the rain she had received. Her bucket was pretty soggy for a few days, but the perllite really makes the difference to allow better drainage.

I do have a question for those who are blessing my log with your presence. Take a look at pictures showing MIQ's lower leaves - they have a bunch of small "pinprick" yellow spots on them. I am attributing these spots to the work of a pest. I will search the board to try to find an answer to them. I have some insect spray that states it is fine to use on flowering plants right up to harvest - Schultz All Purpose Insect Killer, but I am reluctant to use it since I am thinking MIQ has only 1 month left to harvest? Any suggestions/advice in dealing with these spots would be appreciated. At the end of the day, I'm not too concerned with them, as they seem to be limited to the lower leaves; but, I don't want them to get out of hand.

I guess that's about all of the new information. As always, I look forward to your thoughts, comments, suggestions, or simply stoned messages. I hope all is well with everyone, and I hope you enjoy the pictures. Here they are....

looks good...
i hope my new ladies will do as good...
and thanks for tips i will take it into consideration for my girls ...

Here are the rest of the pictures. I always have a hard time selecting only 10 pictures from those I have taken. I hope you enjoy!

Just to provide a short update to the log - I have cut all of the leaves which showed signs of insect damage/infestation. There were probably only about 4 to 5 fan leaves, all of which were lower on MIQ, so I figured it would cause MIQ no harm. She still has plenty of leaves to feed her ripening buds.

I gave her a full dosage of flower nutes, and am excited to see how they treat her. She has been on a 1/4 to a 1/2 dosage for about 21 days, so I figured she could step up to a full scoop. I am going out of town for a couple of days, so it will be nice checking back in on her when I return.

I wish everyone a good, long weekend! Be good out there!

wow jake, the lst really looks like it's paying off. those new bud sites are coming along nicely and from the last pics you posted, i'd say the second and third are excellent shots of the new growth.

i'm not sure how long she should flower for, but it looks like those bud sites can use some more time. and sorry to hear about the bugs, little critters can't keep their hands off god's gift either lol.

Hope you and everyone else has a wonderful holiday. enjoy the bbqs and fireworks. take care

Jake,

She is looking fine, being on the shorter side of life myself I say there is nothing wrong with a little stuntiness(VBG)

I haven't done a grow log yet. I am planning on picking up some clones next week,I have never grown from clones before so I may start one then. I haven't had very many grows the one I have now is my 4th and my first was a total disaster ended up killing 6 out of 7 and the seventh was pretty pathetic. I had a few grows in the 70s and 80s and growing then was so much easier! I'd just throw a couple seeds in a pot filled with whatever dirt I picked up, no nutes, watered whenever. Now I worry about everything!

Good luck with the seeds hopefully they'll make it to you this time. I always stress whenever I order seeds....which strains so many to choose from......should I order enough to last me a couple of grows knowing that I only have one outdoor grow a year so the seeds might not be used for a couple of years or do I order just enough for one grow and hope the seeds make it next time around....sigh really I am not anal(G)

Really nice looking Tight Plants. The Nodes can not be more closer:thumbsup:

Good Luck GL

Beautiful! Im sure your plant will be fine, i have heard that auto flowering cannabis strains are stronger plants. But that could have been complete bull shit since i read it on another forum.

Looking good Jake,

I read a few posts back that you were thinking of using Mollasses.

Don't!!! My past experiance is it causes nute lock. your plants look healthy right now. Do not change a thing you are doing in your nute program except start adding a finishing nute like Fox Farm Cha-Ching.

LOL JG

so im just in awe right now jake... that mighty freeze is getting desiel!! thats gonna be a awsome yeild and smoke! im so intreged. Thanks for all your help and your info!
