outdoor lst - come on in

[greenatik]

hello everyone, thought i would share my outdoor grow this summer. i am trying to keep my plants as horizontal as possible, and so far things are looking great. they are from bagseed planted in peat bags march 21, and they have been outdoors for about 3 weeks.

they are in 3 gallon pots now and will be putting them in large holes with burlap and mulch to reduce my watering frequency. I have been giving them piranha beneficial fungi, dark energy, protekt drought/heatstress protection, and botanicare veg and liquid karma for the first time today. they will be on drip for the rest of the way soon.

I can't figure out how to upload pics I might not be able to yet due to lack of posts?

You need 50 posts to post a picture.

Hey, Greenatik....welcome to the site.....thanks for the kind words in my log, for me, this whole site is a great source of inspiration...i never used lst until i joined this site, and saw how it's done...

To upload pix try attachments or manage attachments after hitting post reply....if you can't upload pix then you need at least 50 posts....
I'm excited to see the pix....if you have questions i try to help if i can...:thumbsup:

thanks zebulon and greenthing, I figured that there was a post requirement for pictures

awesome, you are just the person i wanted lurking my journal zeb :thumbsup: .After seeing your indoor lst I am more than excited to see how well it goes outdoors.

Anyone know anything at all about the strain pineapple x lavender (pilav) ? It was a clone from the club and got put directly outside for a week before transplanting - it got pretty bruised up and I thought it was going to die so I moved it back inside under my fluoro setup and its starting to turn around. I had to cut off a whole set of leaves because they were so badly saturated and yellow, but it does have quite a bit of new growth shooting up. I am thinking that it has a bit of sativa due to its small skinny leaves...

Looks like I might be going on a post spree this next week to get my 50 :stoned:

Any idea where the pineapple came from in that cross? C99 pheno maybe? I know Soma makes a lavender strain. It's a really colorful mostly indica breed.

Orzy - I'm really not sure, I haven't been able to get much on either strains, especially pineapple. I grew lavender x nl outside last year and the lavender definitely influenced some of the purple/pink crazy hairs. i really wanted to know if this was an indoor specific strain, but im sure it will still do pretty well outside once transplanted and healthy again.

Sorry i know nothing about pilav....

So, you have put the plant outside and it started to get yellow and was dieing?? how much soil dose the plant have??And how old/big is it?? Usually if i have problems like this, i transplant the plant into a bigger pot, or transplant it out....usually fresh soil helps....maybe you should transplant it outside if it's not too cold anymore...

[greenatik]

well its complicated - I have one partner with this outside grow and he has a few clones from the club and i have ten from bagseed - he thought that it would be fine to keep them in rockwool a week w/o transplanting :weedpoke: - I told him that they needed to be transplanted but w/e his other pilav died and I was barely able to revive this one. It was sitting in a small cup with water and it got horribly saturated - idiot!

i cant wait to show you these pics zeb. have you done any lst outdoors?

[greenatik]

oh and i was just watching crank last night baked - haha i like your avatar image

[zebulon]

Lst outdoors?? no...the truth is i used lst in my last indoor grow for the first time....but i think i gonna try it outdoors this year, to see if the lstd plants have a bigger yield...lst is good if you have limited space(indoors), but outdoors i'm not sure if it's any good....:wtf:
It yet has to be tested if it's really worth the work outdoors....

Yeah, that move is hilarious....sad that the end is a bit fucked up IMO...
