Outdoor Grow, Take 10

[Shovelhandle]

It seems like ten years since I've been able to harvest any of my outdoor plants due to rippers. Here is one little south facing patch on the edge of a corn field. 6/26

Nice picture!
Does corn flower 12/12? That is going to look so cool come fall...

[Shovelhandle]

actually the corn is for cow feed and they let it go longer than sweet corn. Even so, they will chop it long before the pot is finished. By that time I'll have to make sure the plants are trained away from the corn rows. As the cannabis are facing south it should be easy to do. Also, I'll have to keep them short to blend in with the brush as once the 12' corn stalks are gone they would be easy to see. I'll have to come up with something.

Good luck, I hope no one rips them.

[Shovelhandle]

Me too, thanks.

Topped or FIMed all the taller branches in the cornfield plot and in the six in the garden. The half dozen in the brush still should stretch up to the same height as the weeds before I top and perhaps tie them over. The rate of growth this past week has been wonderful. It's been dry the last four days so I did water the garden and corn field plot. It may not rain much for the next week so I plan on feeding with compost tea next watering.

:weedpoke:Hey Shove-pretty cool idea! Hope your crop doesn't end up for cow feed! I know a farmer or two. I have a feeling, they aren't going to miss your crop in theirs when they harvest! With luck, the corn will take a bit longer, due to all the moisture this year!

So, what kind of seed are you using? PR:weedpoke:

[Shovelhandle]

no, the corn should be harvested first. The combine should miss the pot plants if I train them away from the corn. I will also try and cover them with brush when they start to cut. Farmer and I are cool. He plants on my back 100' as I never had the desire to mow all that. This plot is right on the property line and they are more than respectful of my property. The corn harvesting used to be contracted but I don't know with this new land owner. The first time I was ripped I'm sure it was the combine operator that saw it in my garden and ripped it that night in a nasty thunderstorm. Plant was a nice 6-7' "Christmas tree' but still had six weeks left to finish as it only had little cotton ball buds.

No, the growth rate has been very good for the corn that didn't drown. Farmer replanted some of the wet areas and some took off and some were still too wet and are bare ground now. Not very much loss though as they put in a lot of new drainage this Spring.

I planted feminized Afghani Dream x BOG Medley. Good to see from you again, PR.

:abduct:Hey Shove, sounds like the perfect medley!:s4nly in America! PR, I may be in that neck of the corn patch come harvest!! Planning a long road trip to where ever the roads lead me. I am not sure if I will get much further than a lake I like to fish in the Rockies, but you just never know! The weeds sure look like they really grow well there! With your:kisslove: green thumb of the crop! I love your grow logs! Hope the :areindeer: don't do any nibbling! I know they feed off the corn in that area! Sure miss the state flags to know where people are from in the forum! But, I do remember!

Property prices are dropping around here, looking for an isolated place to do outdoor grows in my back yard. Guess, I'll have to get a guard dog to keep them in the yard! Enough sun, etc. to make a nice crop. Moving to an area of less heat and more control of sun energy. Expect, after my trip, I will light up near a corn field here! Or the agri-grow center of the University. Have a good prospect now, but worried the agri-students might find my private heaven! :rambohead: Rots of Ruck-as, I know you use trial and error and have a great attitude regarding your grow! PR

So, what did you brew up for your 4th of July token this year?

Hope you don't feel jacked, but I know you usually have a special one for it!
