Its time to plant in AUS.

Extra nice I reckon growing is a bit like getting tattoos Kenn, once you start it's hard to stop. I've only ever grown outdoors, I've toyed with the idea of indoor growing, but seeing as I am having modifications done to the house in the new year, I'll stay with the outdoors for a while longer.

My aim RUTB is to meet my recreational and medicinal needs for the year from my own efforts. I usually do grow enough, but run out coming into summer because I give it to close family and friends during the year. I don't sell, barter or trade, but I'll never see a mate go without when I have a stash in the cupboard.

Wow i didnt think anyone would do that.I have a mate who sometimes hooks me up but he just buys halves and gives $25 or 50 worth and i just give him the money it subsidise his weed.

That is awesome. :thumbsup:

..nah mate no way a year when you smoke the shit like I do
every harvest amount varies depending on conditions and methods.My smallest plant was 4 ounces,my biggest crop was 9 pound.Off these babies atm Im guessing 2pound from the outdoor and 1 pound from indoor. Im a bit like S.L very generous with bud so my mates will get an ounce each and the rest goes into glass jars for storage.Ill grow more before that runs out. Im a hardcore smoker so I find I get immune to one strain so I keep growing all year round so I av different types of bud to smoke,not just the 1 strain all the time. :thumbsup:

Nice i wish i could get free ounces.....i cant grow because i live at home not to mention around here is dodgy and the chances of your shit getting stolen is big.

Nice to see in a world of dodgy dealers etc that there is some generous souls around. :thumbsup:

Good idea with the fish tank Sarah-louise, I might give that a go one day ... though I'd have to get rid of the fish!!

My grow has been interesting, the fastest growing plant has slowed considerably and showed up some burnt leaf tips which I have almost remedied. The mutant seedling has formed an interesting shape on the trunk, the lowest part is thin and there is a bulbous growth that forms into a thicker trunk leading to the rest of the plant. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if I get the chance. The picture below is from a few weeks ago, you can clearly see the bulb in the trunk. I didn't get a chance to remove the husk and it deformed the plant, the first leaves were very odd and you can see them under the bulb. It has also formed a triangular shape when viewed from above, normally you get opposing leaves and everything is symmetrical but this plant is quite different as you can see in the second picture with a comparison of another plant.

Cheers,

very heathy lookin babies there yorry good job:thumbsup:

Nice looking plants Yorry. About that lump on the stem, did you accidentally damage the stem? I have a plant with a similar growth which is the result of stem damage when I first tied it down.

I took good care of them when I was re-potting them into their final homes and there wasn't any damage that I noticed but it is possible. The seedling was pretty deformed to begin with, I think it must've got a kick in the pants when I stopped watering and started feeding it!

The fastest growing of the plants has some pistils turning brown ... Having been a guerilla gardener in the past, I am now really enjoying watching these plants grow before my very eyes.

It's nice to be able to observe growth closely, but I am still very nervous about being ripped off again. Even with dogs, I may just have pitch a tent and sleep out with girls this Summer.

Eh, my neighbours already think I am a weirdo. Why try and prove them wrong?

It's hard to tell for sure from that picture, but what you may have there is a Whorled Phyllotaxy or also known simply as a Trifoliate. If it is, then you will have 3 secondary shoots coming from the main stem at each node. You may have also noticed the seedling had 3 cotyldons (see picture).

This is a good thing and a bad. Good because these plants will generally yield higher. Bad because plants which show this trait usually end up male. Also, sometimes this trait will not carry over into the secondary growth/shoots, which means if you want to keep the trait going then you would have to clone the main trunk by topping the plant.

I've only ever came across one before, an AK47 f2...it ended up a male.

Let's hope for a girl and keep those genetics alive. :rasta:

Hey guys hope u are all well and wasted,today I tied down one of my plants to keep it getting to tall .We all have different methods I know but I thought Id show ya my method.I use light plastic lattice which is staked to the ground over the plant .Stake it down as low as you want to go then gently help the tips thru the squares.I have found this method a great way of keeping ur plant low and it also doubles as DEFENSE..you can hang squid jags gaffs and hooks from the lattice just to make it harder for fence jumpers.....check it out guys:jointsmile:
