1st Post - 1st Outdoor Grow - Mighty Freeze

[Markass]

I must ask one question...why only one?? Gotta have a couple more at least in case something were to happen to one of them...Is a bitter feeling to have only one and lose it because of some freak accident...

[jakezking]

i would say that fim'ing or topping that early would not be as much of a problem indoors. but, being that the light cycles are changing and budding season is about to begin outdoors (), it could possibly stunt your babies, maybe even lower your F/M ratio...

but im not one to be the bad news bear, because only time will tell! all my god's gift runts that were poorly treated at a young age turned female, and vigorous.

the rooters are awesome IMO. comes w/ a tray for cheap, and everything from seeds to clones love rooting in those. just have to keep them moist, sometimes 2-3 times a day. i dont use the paper towel method, although it does indeed work. i just soak the seeds overnight and pop them in the rooters just barely under the top, and within 4 days they are ready for a transplant

oh and i will update my log in a little bit with some new pics.. i chopped 4-5 small buds off of pilav and they are drying for an early sample. about 5-6 days left for sure, but I am glad that I didnt pick early, she has really fattened up. the smell is insane, kind of like a really sweet/tangy/sticky eucalyptus smell. like THC mixed with pineapple juice.


good luck buddy!

I checked on the bagbeans a bit ago, and they appear to have grown a bit more. I will keep my eye on them, and keep my fingers crossed. As it may be awhile before I can afford an indoor setup, I need to get as much as possible from the outdoor growing season. I will definitely have to try those RRs - you have me sold. I almost ordered some yesterday, but got sidetracked. I am almost out of Jiffy pellets anyway.

I can't wait for a smoke report on Pilav, my friend! I know she is going to lock you deep into your couch! Be good out there!

Jake,

Sorry to read about your loses. I seem to be able to germinate using the paper towel method I don't know why but except for that random seedling its the only way I get them to start. I usually then use something like a rapid rooter or rock wool once the tap roots pop out. I tend to have too many failures if I go straight to soil after they germinate.

So how are the bag seed babies doing? And your PPP is strill thriving right?

You'll have to look back in the thread a bit to see some pictures of the bagbeans - they are doing really well. But, the PPP got snapped in 1/2, so she is gone.

I needed to let the taproots grow on the BBL and CRH a bit more before putting them in the Jiffy pellets, and I think I kept the Jiffy pellets a bit too wet; but, I was going/gone out of town, so I took a chance.

Glad to see all of your ladies doing so well, luna! Take good care out there!

Anytime m8.
In many ways it is probably easier I'd say. Plants are safer as long as you have space indoors I think. You have control over the enviroment and photo period, how much water and nutricion they get is very easy to control as well. Bugs, dogs, storm, hikers and hazards like that is nothing to worry about.
We worry about ventilation, temperature, humidity, electricity and poisonous grow tents instead. :P

Anyway, excellent work and some well earned buds in your jars. :stoned:

Indoor growing for me is a bit intimidating at this point. Having to control the temperature and humidity, while dealing with electricity trouble me a bit. We'll see if I am able to jump in and swim at some point later this year. I am sure I will be following your notes carefully, and am glad you are so generous to share with us all.

I am glad to see you have your tent situation under control, and hate you had the problem to begin with. I look forward to seeing all of your ladies grow to be large and in charge.

That is a good question, Markass. I actually planted the 1 bean on a whim, as I ran across it in my dugout, being the only bean within a really sweet strain (Mighty Freeze) which a good friend so kindly bestowed upon me. It was blind luck finding the bean, and I had some good luck in growing it out to harvest.

Since my luck was so good with the 1 lucky bean, I have caught the growing bug, and have 3 new lil' ladies out by the pool. I also have some PPP, Bubblelicious, and Red Colombian Haze beans, of which I have 1 of each germinating now in an attempt to get 1 last grow in this season. It stays really warm where I am, so I think I can squeeze another grow in outside before moving in to try my hand at the indoor operation.

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to drop by anytime. The door's always open.

hey jake,

i can't even post here anymore. you reply to everyone so promptly without abbreviating details. must be tiring lol.

well as to the real reason i checked in on your log, i've been off the site for a week or so and i noticed i missed the new beginning to the MIQ, her harvest. but man! does she look fantastic or what?

I believe you said you were trying a new 'rice' method and to me it makes total sense. i hope it's working out. The drying colas looked to have some nice dense buds but i could be mistaken. And how did the sampling taste/smoke?

hope all is well my friend and those new ladies are coming along nicely, sorry to see the pp didn't make it.

gmorning

Jake,

Your bagseed crop is looking good do you have any new pictures? About how atll are they now?

I see you are thinking of growing inside you are braver then I am. I don't know inside grows seem so complicated. The LEDs are looking promising I'd like to see a few more grows before I'd consider buying them but I do believe they are the next big thing in growing.

Have you harvest your MQ yet? How'd she taste?

[anbesol]

Hey Jake. I read in your log that you harvested your plant because you wanted some new bud. Your plant seemed like it could have used a few more weeks. But thats just me. I hope she tasted good! i cant wait to see the next grow flower!

Mr.GoodMorning02, it's good to see you again. I know what it's like not to have much time to pop onto the board. My time is becoming more and more constrained. MIQ is curing in some mason jars as I type, and she has been for about 10 days now.

The bag of rice really helped to dry her buds out more quickly - I believe - but, it really took away her smell. She really doesn't have a smell anymore, just a faint touch of rice! I shared some of her lower buds with my bro-in-law, and she didn't have much of a taste either. She was a bit green at that time, and she had a serious creeper effect. I was able to focus, but at times caught myself really staring off into space. I'll talk about her in more detail below.

All the new beans are doing well - I started 1 each of Bubblelicious, PPP, and Red Colombian Haze. I just put them outside, and they were springing up fast when I check on them this morning. The bagbeans are doing awesome too. I'll try to post pictures later today or over the weekend.

Thanks again for stopping in, my friend. I hope all's well with you and yours!

luna, it's nice seeing you again. Sorry I'm going to have to cut my replies a bit shorter, as I'm about to have to run out the door. I'll try to post pictures today or tomorrow, and will give a more thorough smoke report than I gave above. My last taste of MIQ was INCREDIBLE! I haven't been that high in awhile - I think mainly because I harvested her a bit early (if you can consider 8 1/2 weeks flowering early), but her trichs were mostly cloudy. It was a really ethereal high - very up high, and my mind was soaring. It seems like I solved a lot of the world's problems that night, but I can't remember now what the solutions were!

anbesol, it's good to see you, my friend! I'll have to give you a more thorough smoke report later today or tomorrow. She was an incredible high! Sorry this reply is so short, but I've gotta run, or I'll be late. I hope all's well with you, and look forward to catching up with you later. Take care, amigo!

I don't often times use the modern internet abbreviations, but LMMFAO! Man, I can always use a good laugh these days, and that 1 hit the spot! I'll try to live up to your expectations, DP, but I can't make any promises. I am learning more and more with every bean that pops though, so keep your fingers crossed, my friend!

My current bagbeans and pedigreed beans are looking pretty sporty so far. I'll detail out their progress, and provide updates on the smoke and weight report from MIQ later today. I've got another appointment to catch right now. Hectic Fridays aren't the best, but at least they fly by into Friday nights, which are my best nights of the weekend for cutting loose a bit - I already can't wait to wrap my mind around that MIQ again!

DP, I appreciate you droppin' in, and thanks again for the good laugh! Drop on in anytime - you're always welcome, my friend!

Hi i had to drop in here and see how MIQ was doing and i must congrats on the harvest

About the indoor grow, keep it as simple and straight on as your outdoor grow and im sure you will get results like the outdoor grow.

So keep it going and lets see where you take im a strong believer in nature it self im looking out over nature as im replying here and i sooo want opportunity to grow outside but i dont have the space in urban living

I could put in all the superlatives i want but wouldnt make a difference since you and nature KNOWS what you did and thats only thing worth knowing so enjoy and keep it going the same way now i will head out and get my medicine before bedtime

Aloha, Homie.

Congrats onna chop
Ya got gold on da flop.

I picture you wit' a glazed grin dat jus' keep gettin' wider as ya mutter to yerself,
"WoW! I grew dat!

An da room gets all "sparkly" wit' photon fuzz.
An' yer brain illuminates all it's little corners.
An' t'ings occur to you.
Fancy unto fancy linking.
Den you look at him again wit marvel eyes,
WoW! I grew dat!
(All medicinal of course)

Goodonya my friend, nice job!
