1st Post - 1st Outdoor Grow - Mighty Freeze

[jakezking]

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

Mr.GoodMorning02, I appreciate your compliments, my friend! You are right in saying the lst is paying off - I am super excited and happy that I finally bent MIQ over, as she has really taken off! I agree with you that she has a bit longer to go; I'm thinking maybe another 4 weeks, but I will just watch her develop to see. I'm thinking about giving her nutes for another 2 weeks, then just putting her on a water diet to clean her out prior to harvest.

As for the bugs - I can't agree with you more, as I can't blame the bugs for doing exactly what I want to do. I hope you had an incredible 4th and are still enjoying your weekend! Be good out there!

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)

I agree there is nothing wrong with being short; my Mom is a tiny lady, but she is tough as nails. She never had a problem keeping me under control, even though I'm almost 1' taller than she is. And, MIQ appears to be healthy, which is all I could have asked for on my first grow.

I can see how in this day and age of so many products out there, it's really hard to complete a grow. One wrong move with one wrong product, and your plant can be a goner. If I were you, I'd go back to the throwing a seed in a bucket and just giving it the bare essentials - water and sunlight. I've jumped in here and there and provided additional nutrients, but mostly I've tried to stand to the side and watch MIQ grow. It has been a difficult lesson in patience for me, because I've wanted her to do more, grow faster, and produce more - but, it was not her path. Allowing her to follow her own genetic predisposition has so far allowed her to lead a relatively healthy life. I hope she continues on her path!

I also know what you are talking about with seed ordering. I'm like a kid in a candy store - it's so hard to choose from all the amazing strains. If and when I get mine, I'll have to start a new log for them. It's getting late in the season, but I think I have enough of a season left in my neck of the woods.

Be good out there! It was good hearing from you again, luna!

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

Good Luck GL

GreenLeaf420! I appreciate your stopping by and leaving some compliments, bro! As short as MIQ is, it's nice she has developed so tightly, providing for an increase in yield while remaining vertically challenged. I'm really interested to see how dense her buds are upon harvest. I have not really touched them to this point, as I have not wanted to knock any trichs off.

Take good care out there, amigo, and drop back by anytime!

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.

anbesol! Thanks for stopping by, my friend! I appreciate your comment and reassurance MIQ will be fine following her recent pest issue. I just checked on her after a few days absence, and she appears perfectly fine. It rained again while I was gone, serving to flush her bucket from the floweirng nutes I had just added on Thursday. But, I can't really complain, as she does appear awfully healthy! I'll have to check into the autoflower hardiness possibility - it has been pretty darn easy raising MIQ, and I wouldn't mind future, easy grows!

Thanks again for stopping by, and for reading my log. Come on back by to check in on MIQ, as her days are numbered!

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

JG, I am excited you stopped by to provide me some insight into the use of mollasses! I was considering it, as it appeared to really help people get a big boost. I hate to hear you did not have good luck with it, but your experience has certainly helped me make up my mind. I like to try to keep things simple anyway, so not adding mollasses to the mix will help me do so! Thanks again for your insight, and for stopping by my log!

I hope all is well with you and yours and you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

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!

camoxnhx! Dude, I am certain your Mazar and LR2s will be looking even better than MIQ. I am getting excited about MIQ's final days, but I have to temper my excitement with patience, as she will have a couple of weeks, at least, of drying and curing following harvest. I know I will not want to wait, but I have heard some terrible stories of good bud gone bad due to failure to properly cure. I can't wait to update you and everyone else on the yield and smoke! And, I really don't have much experience or knowledge to impart for your grow, but will always give freely of what I have - until I am told to keep my trap shut!

I hope you are having a great weekend, and let's hope the remaining day and 1/2 will actually last awhile instead of racing by! Be good out there, my friend!
