08 indoor to outdoor grow

To Get You up to date
(Medical Marijuna Grow)

- started seeds feb. 23

-- about thirty (i can have 24 in vedge and 12 in flower) came up, so some that came up late or looked punney were plucked.
-- light is a bank of like eight long floresent, lots of lumens (15 hours light/9 hours dark)
-- fan put on them to keep temps at around 74 degrees (as i understand that temp to be the right range to get mostly females)

- they were started in jiffy pellets, then transfered to peet pots (this step i will not do next year, as i tried putting jiffy pellets into gallon containers last year and they grew lots bigger faster)

- i have all of them in gallon containers at about five weeks, culled out the small and male.
- - at about this time i got three Sugar Granddaddy Purple and one Amethyst clones.
- - now five Purps from BC Seed company
- - one Mango
- - one Rob's Kush
- - one male Purps (in flower now, for seeds to a female that is with him not counted above, in another room.
- - one more clone of the Sugar Grandaddy Purple, much smaller than the first ones.
------and five outside purps that are being tortured, by being outside in the cold.

*average last frost here the end of May, when the others will be going out*

Did some cloning the other day, so now i have a tray of some clones to go with the above plants.

thot i would thro this up agian on the board....anyone interested?

very interested.........your plants look nice and healthy.

thank You keeko..... Because of Your nice reply, i will continue the log...thanks

Ya the plants look good, very healthy.

:thumbsup:........how long have you been doing this?....looks like you have some good experience.

this is my second medical MJ grow, my husband has always had a plant or two around during the summer. Otherwise i have only grown one year, i have Cervantes book, "Medical Marijauna Growers Guide", and read that when i have questions, and come to places like this and read.

Okay, let me see ---

1. the plants have moved outside, out two weeks ahead of schedual. Due to a mild forcast in the weather here for those two weeks. It went well, (record highs for this area) cept about half went into flower, which is okay with me. So we will have some harvesting and some just going into flower at the same time.

2. most of the plants have grown five to seven inches since going outside. they went out on the 8th of May.

3. Got a cloner! Tho did clone some into dirt a couple weeks back and got 4 to root, they are now outside. And i have some clones started inside.

4. the temps outside this week have been a little cool for the girls, but have not gone under 43 degrees.

5. the female i pollenated is below and my avatar, it is the Amethyst + NL from seeds made last year, it now has Purps from BC seed co. pollen making seeds.....so the seeds will be will be amethystNLpurp, i guess. The buds have been showing light purple for a week or so now. Not from the cold either, this is all the way thru.

The cloner has me excited, i put some mango, some Purps and one Sugar Granddaddy Purple in it and hope to be planting them in a week or less. This is something i know nothing about as i have always been buying clones or making them in soil. This should be fun.:D

wont be postin the pics right now as there are some kind of log in issues. will try agian in a few minutes.

more log in issues, will try agian tomarrow, sure wanted to post pics

trying the pic post one more time, a day later.

2. The first girls put in soil, after bout a week in the ezcloner.

3. An amethyst in bud, this plant was put outside in April, it was kinda cold then for her. She is about two feet tall and has bud all up her stalk. Kinda looks like a xmas tree.

the photos are as above post.:hippy: gonna go burn one to celebrate!:jointsmile:

How did you get that plant to look so FULL like that? That little christmas tree looking one?

nice autumn leaves. looking great

Thank you for noticing my humble effort here.

As for that little plant that looks like a Mini Xmas tree, i did nothing different, it is the same age as these plants i am posting down here. Tho it did go outside a month and a half earlier than the ones posted below. It was covered, and the temps didnt fall to freezing very often, outside.

yesterday i took the plant i had pollenated on April 23, and from the seed i looked at, it looks like i will have a few dozen seeds and some very nice smoke. The trichs were over 50% cloudy and maybe 10% amber. Amethyst/NorthernLights + Purps by BC seed co.

Below find two Purps plants, one Amethyst (the lil bush), and one of Rob's Kush. And the bud i took yesterday.

These two were put outside at the same time in April. These were covered each night with a plastic box. the one is budding like a xmas tree, and it is less than two feet tall, the other one, has very dark buds (purple) and the short one has green buds so far with white hairs.


i dont know why the last pics i posted were fuzzy. But i am not complaining, they posted and i am happy.:D

this is one busy site, and am glad i was able to post pics finally. Hope i get a comment or two sometime.:hippy:

look great, all of your plants look very healthy. I really want to try and put in some clones but I think it is getting too late. keep on posting pictures!

i just put out more clones last week...and i have a real short grow season....:hippy:

Inbud congratulations with your beautiful garden, what an accomplishement. looking great:thumbsup:

beautiful garden inbud. You must be up in the mountains if you have a short grow season in CA. Mine is pretty short here as well. I am keeping my fingers crossed that some of my girls stay in veg for a bit longer. Wherever you are about when does the flower cycle kick in?

Dont come here much, as you can tell.
below find pics taken on July 18, the one of the first flower, the last pic was taken on July 29 i think.

We have had huge amounts of smoke from the fires here in Northern ___, and the plants seem to be doing alright, but i would have perfered them to get bigger before flowering.
All but one or two are in early flower now. The first to flower were the oldest plants. All of the inside seeded plants have gone back to vedging. i have taken the xmas tree and will post pics of it and one other plant i harvested since i last posted here.

find the pics below if i can logg out and logg back in to post...wish me luck..

remember taken two weeks ago....

This plant was a cross i made from Amethyst and NorthernLights last year. i have three of them left in the garden. This one never grew any larger than 1 foot 9 inches (if i remember correctly). This lil girl had all cloudy trichs when i took her. She was starting to revedge and i did not want that. She gives a nice "heady" high, and you can function well and not feel like you are glued to the couch. When i first smoked her, i reorganized my entire 08 grow photo file.

Looks great!! The sun really is your friend:D:D

This plant was my first purps harvested. This is also my attempt at FIM technique. I got four very nice cola's and like the Amethyst above, it showed signs of revedging so i took it last week. Most of the other plants (late clones) in the garden are now just starting to flower and the oldest plants (put out in March?April?) are into flowering heavy (pic 4).

Pics
1. wet Purps
2. dry Purps
3. curing Purps
4. Monster, Amethyst+NorthernLights, seed from 07 grow.

Tho i did not get a purple color from this plant (the buds anyway, the stems were real purple), the aroma is sweet and grape like. The trichs were maybe fifty fifty clear cloudy. the high is mental, tho it seems a nap is in order after bout an hour from smoking. I took her early because she was revedging and i must make room for the new clones to start flowering.

Six plants bit the dust today. Had to do it, they were just not the biggest in the garden. Next year, not gonna start plants early. Gonna do all clones. Am bummed, tho the plants are drying on a screen and will be used for hash after the full harvest in the fall. One, the Amethyst looked good enough to hang. She had only started to revedge on top. So she is drying and we will try her out in about a week. The others.....hash.:hippy:

Most of the revedging plants bit the dust.

1. Full garden view from second story window, view from my desk. all first four pics.
2. the oldest two plants, farthest along in flower.
3. The back left side of the garden. Some of those bushes are sitting on pots that had plants in them untill lately.
4. One of the New Clones, put out in June.
5. Amethyst+Northernlights, i have taken some of this plant then let it continue to bud. this plant has early, mid and late flowers on it. One more week and it bites the dust, or bout one week, it got it's last feed this morning. I dont know if you can see but there is ash all over the leaves of this plant.

:(

California has almost as many wild fires as they have liberals :p

Sucks though :(

Was looking at the garden's flowers last night. Noticed the Amethyst+Northernlights named Tuffy, is showing that she will be a purple calyx plant. I was hoping i got one more out of the two i have left. Now the Monster, tuffys sister plant has not shown any signs of purple. That purple smoke is so sweet. I cant wait to try some that goes full term.:jointsmile::thumbsup: I will take some more pics in the next days.
Good Growing!
And thank goodness we have LESS fires than Liberals here in CA. Fires you can put out. Liberal Fire...there is no putting that out...thanks to us Liberals, i get to grow this beautiful Medicine.

lol yep.

hey i feel for you on the smoke and ashes, i got 80% male rate from those 2 horribly smoky weeks

glad to see a grower in the area making it! :thumbsup: know lots of people that got wrecked around here because of the smoke

good job great plants cant wait to see the end results on those monsters

peace :jointsmile:

hey greenatik......We still have smoke! Going on seven weeks now of fires. Tho we have had a week total of nice clear skys (but that meant wind and the fires got worse). I wonder what my plants would have done without the smoke. Next year, i will find out.

below please find,

3 plants 3 weeks in flower, these being the plants that were put out early (cant remember March? April? will have to read my own journal to remind me).

these are the pics that you can see the smoke behind, not the ones below (added in edit)

These are what i refer to as the New Clones. They were planted outside and well on their way the first week in June.

Two week in Flower

the last pic is my attempt at LST, i just couldnt get her to grow along the fence as i planned, she just bushed out from all her nodes. I do have two stalks tied to the back fence and they look like they will bud nicely, as will all of her.

You can see the smoke in the sky behind the plants. I took these pics bout seven pm yesterday.
