A Hillbilly's memoire of organic outdoor grown canadian strains.

[Hillbilly69]

Hey folks, old time outdoor canadian grower here. Been away from these forums since Unleash da Greens was shut down. Thought it was time to get back online to hang out with some like minded folks.
Few decades of growing some personal organic medicine under my belt. I deal with chronic back pain and anxiety and this beautiful plant is by far the best remedie for this hillbilly!
Anyway, thought I'd start a thread to show some different strains I've grown outdoors and maybe share some methodologies that worked for me, if anyone is interested

Lets start with some more recent gear.
Nice little auto kush CBD. Grown in 5 gallons of organic soil, was the runt for that year, but yummy numbing smoke!

Oh yes very interested when I started inside back in 2001 the strains from BC were the

ones I grew

so many good things

all the best and will follow along

Welcome S_M!

Here's another auto I grew that same year in a 5 gal pail, this one was an auto Cheese CBD. Little bigger and leaning more on the sativa side. Smell and taste was very citrusy. Did some training with this lady...

You'll notice the hydro clay pellets on top of the soil. I do that to maximize the amount of soils plants can use. Keeps soil moist to the top and eliminates light so feeder roots are thick right at surface. Makes it easier to water too...

Welcome S_M!

Thank you nice plants and buds

organic soil

something you make? I use soil-less inside but I have been thinking about trying a real soil

next fall when I move back inside for the winter

thanks for the look at your work

Now these were a surprise, a family member calls me one day and says, "hey, I have access to good outdoor clones want some?". I ask what they were, and in his list I hear "early finishing afghani". I thought auto affie, could it be? I grew some of Reibsi's AA like 15 years ago and lost touch with him, they were beautiful. Thought maybe someone else had it. Anyway, I was doubtful but got a few anyway to try them. Well come to find out IT WAS the auto affie. By the time I figured it out it was too late, they were budding and too late to clone
These babies are the cats a$$, veg as big as you want under 24hr light, put them outside and they start budding in about 2 weeks. I harvested these mid-august. Taste like old school earthy hash and great body stone that puts you to sleep!!
Wine bottle sized colas

Yup, I have a receipe that I use that seems to work really well. Only need to water until a few weeks into flower, then add a few supplements to finish them off.
Mostly made of high porosity peat mix, earthworm castings, soybean meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, a high P source (either bone meal or bat guano), and some powdered dolomitic limestone.
Let me know if your interested in trying and I can share the mixing details.

I've got a bunch of other pics of Reibsi's and KrK's gear I grew in swamp tubes a while back but they are sitting on a CD. I have to figure out how to get them on my computer, new ones don't have CD readers! lol!!

I harvested these mid-august.

I died doing Autos inside put some outside last season (2022) May 1st and they were done by

July 14

will do some more this year for sure

all the best and be well

Nice! Auto's will always garantee some sort of a harvest outdoors, but yields suffer. Can get some good quality smoke too.

Nice thread I will be following along
For the cds, you can get small cheap external cd drives that just plug in the usb socket- we got one for our son because the new laptop had no cd reader.
All the best

Thanks mr. Brunch, and yes that was the plan. Going to pop by walmart this weekend to see what I can find.

Well, got myself an external CD reader to go fetch those old pics. A little tribute to KrK, Reibsi and some other Canadian breeders. All plants were grown in my organic soil mix, only water until 2-3 weeks into flower. Then gave them a few shots of flowering compost teas to finish them up... Some of them where also grown in swamp tubes which is the best way to set and forget. Grown at 46 lat.

 

[Hillbilly69]

Let's start with some KrK gear, these were Bluebonic, I saw RGS has an earlier version of these (crossed with GG). These went to beginning of October, so just a tad too late for my area, but they were super vigorous and mold resistant so finished up with no probs and was A+
I think the Fast Bionic Girl would be earlier, so it's on my future list to check out.
These pics are end of August in swamp tubes, decided to tie one down to see how it would do...

I'm at 45th in northern Michigan. All we grew back in the day outdoors was Canadian and Dutch genetics. You guys sure had your shit together when it came to making fast robust outdoor strains. I dabbled around on Unleash Da Green just before it went to hell. Shame there was some great breeders sharing some great info on that site

 

[Hillbilly69]

Here they are harvest time, you can see they got hit by a frost, but kept going... Nice little trunk

You got that right linde, I've tried many other strains but I always seem to get best results with canadian bred strains (makes sense), so I'm trying to find some of my old favorites again...
