California Outdoor 2023 Organic Grow

Thank you @Dforce

The volunteer looking likely female

Time to come up with a plan, maybe another week running lights at night, go natural light only to induce flower, maybe take a few clones with some bottom branches 1st, I really want this one too breed. I’m impressed with the December outdoors germination. I don’t have it in me to keep schlepping the lights back and forth to stop it from flowering. Running the lights on some outdoor clones, maybe doable…for a bit.

I’m eyeballing 4/2 to start germination for the 2025 summer garden

4/2 to start germination

Yikes, that’s getting close! Maybe I should decide but I’ve already got 2 clones coming so I may or may not, actually drop any beans. This cactus thing takes up a lot of time and will also be spreading to at least one tent.

[Big123]

I have not decided about bean drop time yet, here’s a night shot, started putting lights on the side several days ago more towards the undercarriage.

Some lovely sunshine here and there too

[Caligurl]

That’s a really cool pic!

[Big123]

Thank you

We put up some shade cloth yesterday on a 10 x 10 pop-up canopy, and I took off the mini greenhouse…

I actually fed her some simply silica, 7-3-1 Dr Earth bat guano, vitazyme, unsulphured blackstrap organic molasses, alfalfa meal, and neem cake mixed into some water…

Watered our volunteer with blended aloe vera leaves yesterday, been on the cooler side.

You can say the cooler side thing for real! We’ve had days of sleet and hail and a lot of rain…

Our most vigorous winter volunteer is a male he will augment our breeding program

Under a waxing crescent Gemini moon
I dropped some beans, soaked in water for about 24 hours then planted in nursery bags filled with seedling soil, on 4/2.

A baby slug ate one regular sprout for its last meal RIP we had 85% germination rate. All the regular beans sprouted, most of the feminized ones too.

Feminized:
1 ILGM Afghan
1 ILGM Gorilla Glue #4 - both of these purchased several years ago during a sale.
2 Peyote Gorilla
2 Eleven Roses
2 Something Good
1 Ultimate

Regulars:
4 Wednesdays Child
3 Backseat Preachers

[Caligurl]

Very exciting!!

[Big123]

I’ve never grown a male this large, usually keep them in nursery bags, and they stay small.

The regulars:

The feminized, except one, a Something Good stress seed could go either way - SG

I mixed up a gallon of water and added an ounce of vitazyme yesterday, gave each seedling a few ounces, watered the aloe Vera, catnip and other plants/shrubs with the bulk of it @Budbrother

[Budbrother]

Heard you scored free pumice and visited with friends quickly. Had some big ol boys back when. Haven’t seen a male that big for a good long while. Cheers goin your way @Big123

[Big123]

Yes, indeed, I filled four 5 gallon buckets with pumice

[Budbrother]

I woulda loaded my truck bed if I were near enough. Just checked It costs me $84 for 1 or $133 for 2 cft. Prices went up again. I used to be able to get 2x for what in now costs for 1

[Caligurl]

I filled four 21 gallon totes LOL.. well, Flint did, actually. I just sat and visited with everyone hahaha

[Budbrother]

Poor Flint. Bet he unloaded it too.

Hope he was rewarded… in the end.

[Caligurl]

He did unload it LOL… how’d you guess? and there is always a reward involved

And like we always tell each other…

“Everything comes with a price, Dearie”

[Caligurl]

Hey @Big123 hope all was well wi th you at Picnic Day… heard there was a shooting

[Big123]

Yes, maybe nobody told them to leave their guns at home

Starting to gets some pollen released it’s mom made some fine White Widow Skunk smoke

@Big123

I was shocked when it went off. Though it was a bit heavy for a water gun.
