2018 Outdoor Fast Version

[Blacksandsranch]

Hello:

Well I have decided to run some of the fast versions. SAD, Green Poison, Cream Mandarine, and Sweet Skunk. I will be getting the beans from GYO. These bean will be sprouted around middle of Feb. so cuts can be take for summer. Will plant 4 of each around middle of May. I am about 46* north. I have been looking for some early buds so I spread trimming out. I will try to update this thread as needed.

Hello:

Seeds have arrived and now the waiting starts. I really dislike the winter, the dark and cold very depressing. I usually start to come around about Fed 1st, days are getting longer and I can start seeds.
I will be growing 70 outdoor plants this year. Here is the line-up:

9-Ace of Spades
9-Plushberry
8-Original Glue #4
4-OG Kush
4-Pineapple Express
4-Critical
4-Girlscout Cookie
4-Grimace
All of these were in the garden last year.

New for this season are:

4-Green Poison
4-Sweet Skunk
4-Cream Manderine
4-Sweet Afghan Delicious
These are the "fast version". I hope these finish before the 1st of Oct. These will be the focus of this thread. From seed to harvest.

Also new to the garden will be:

4-White Chronic
4-Cherry Bomb

More to come after planting in a week or so.

Should be a very fun year. I love to grow new cultivars. Always searching for great smoke. Here are a few pics from last year.

I wish I knew what went wrong with the pics and how to fix them.
Fail..... sigh

open your pics in a photo editing program, rotate the pics to vertical then save the pics, post the saved edited pics.

I looked at the pics that are on the laptop. They are the right way I will try rotating 90 clockwise. Will see what happens.https://www.icmag.com/ic/attachment...nt.php?attachmentid=444090&stc=1&d=1517167989

 

[Blacksandsranch]

Well that was another fail. The pics are saved rotated 90 clockwise and uploaded and this is the result.

 

[conlarazon]

Hello,
you must take the photo with the phone in a horizontal way, not vertically.

Regards

 

[dufous]

the photo viewing app will not save the rotation.

you must use a photo editing app, and save the change from the photo editing app.

Hello:
Thanks for the help. I did use an editing app and cropped the photos as well still no luck. Phone was probably in vertical while taking them. I will try one with phone horizontal.
Cheers

Hello:
I planted the 4 fast version seeds in solo cups with pro-mix. After 2 days the Green Poison was up. Day 3 and the SAD, Cream Mandarine, and Sweet Skunk were up. The seeds were 4/4 germination. Below is a pic of them at 6 days since planting.

All the best with the grow, mate.

Hey Blues

Well I am glad to hear that there are fans of the FV. The biggest issue for us is trimming. We trim by hand(wife and I). So to produce more we need to have more trimming days. I am also looking to automate and will be testing trim machines this fall.

Cheers!

Best of luck Blacksandsranch it looks like you have it all under control some nice strains you have going. plenty of help around if ever needed and we are always learning from the plant and the grower

 

[Blacksandsranch]

Thanks Darksider!

We are getting better each season and we always learn each season. I have been coming to this forum for many years with other nick names and have found many very knowledgeable and helpful folks.
The list of genetics is growing so fast it is impossible to keep track so I try to go with several plants from the same breeders. Advice is golden.

Cheers!
