A Couple Ladies in the Backyard

[testymctester]

Been growing indoors for quite a while, but never had the chance to flower a plant outdoors. Moved into a new house in mid-July. Tossed out 8 clones in 2 gallon pots on moving day (7/13). 6 of them are looking good and were just transplanted to 10 gallon pots yesterday (7/27). 2 of them were not looking so hot, so the worst of the 2 went in the compost pile and the other 1 might be headed there next weekend.

I mixed up 3 gallons of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 3 gallons of chunky #3 perlite, 1 gallon of Happy Frog and 1 gallon of Earth Worm Castings for each 10 gallon pot. My tap water is 6.9ph, so I have been watering with plain tap water and a weekly dose of compost tea. The 6 clones that made it are:
Phantom
Super Sour Diesel
Candyland
Green Ribbon
Kryptonite
Girl Scout Cookies

I've got a fresh batch of compost tea brewing now for a little over 24 hours. I'll take pictures of the ladies in the morning before I soak 'em with the tea.

Ok, so first up is the group shot. Next, is Candyland. Then, Kryptonite. Finally, Super Sour Diesel.

I noticed a couple mite bitemarks on on the Super Sour D leaves. I couldn't find any mites, but did notice a couple eggs. I have been hosing them down every couple days at night to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the mites. Looking good so far.

Here are the Candyland, Kryptonite, and Super Sour Diesel in that order.

These 3 are really standing out compared to the other 3. The Phantom is looking great, and the Cookies is close behind. The Green Ribbon is getting a little leggy, but still looking great.

Here are the Phantom, Girl Scout Cookies, and Green Ribbon in that order.

I've been hosing down the ladies every couple of days which seems to have cleared up any signs of pests. I have a few lady bugs that have been helping out too.

The first 3 in the group never really took off, but seem to be looking happier now going into preflower.

First shot is the whole group, then Candyland, Kryptonite, and Super Sour Diesel.

...and here are the other 3. The Phantom is blowing up, the Cookies is really branchy (monstercropped?), and the Green Ribbon is stretching like crazy. I'm really excited about the Phantom and the Cookies. They are looking really nice going into preflower.

Here are the Phantom, Cookies, and Green Ribbon.

So, here are the first 3 again. They look like they will finish up ok, but nothing like the other 3 in terms of vigor/yield. From left to right, we have the Candyland, Kryptonite, and Super Sour Diesel.

They are coming along real nice.

These 3 are really coming along nicely. I have been noticing a couple oak moths around lately, so I need to start the weekly BT foliars to make sure I don't lose these ladies to caterpillars. From left to right, we have the Phantom, Cookies, and Green Ribbon.

Love the backyard grows in the burbs! Ladies all look healthy, testy.

Best of luck on the rest of the season!

Thanks Hemphrey! I have never tried any of these strains (maybe the Cookies?) so I am excited for them to finish.

I got a late start this year and wanted to keep it pretty small being new to the neighborhood. Now that I know a few of my neighbors are growing, next year should much bigger and better.
