@Justonemoreburger Super lush I love it!

@Calle Minogue Your tomatoes are way further along than mine, you're gonna be eating some soon!

3 purple haze v2 from @JohnnyChicago
And 1 thunk f-1
Just put them to bed for the night.

This is the fun part, where the Cannabis tries to grow as fast as the Blackberry.

Just dialed in irrigation. Stock tank running 20:1 ratio of Athena pro line at 3.0 target EC in roots 707. First time growing salts outdoors. growth rate has been incredible. at commercial cost the nutrients this run are cheaper for the full season than biobizz was through flower alone

Donned my waders for the slosh over to the swamp grow spot.

The seasonal rains are here in full force, so these plastic funnels jammed in the ground uphill of each plant are there to fill up with each storm and then gradually release the water to the roots during the breaks in the rains.

Before each of these young trees was planted, a whole mackerel fish was cut in halves and buried a couple of inches beneath the root zone. I expect explosive growth as soon as the roots start to draw that nitrogen and mineral-rich nutrient from the slowly decaying fish.

A couple of the young plants were ravaged by caterpillars, and probably for that reason went to flower way too early, thus forcing me to prune them with extreme prejudice. So I'll get to taste an early season's mini-harvest, and then of course I'll plonk much larger plants into those three holes that I wound up harvesting. The fish under the root zone mustn't go to waste with partially harvested plants whose leaves were shredded by an unknown creepy crawly.

These plants are all Ace gear. Malawi, Golden Tiger, and Zamaldelica feminized seeds, along with a few super lemon hazes from Ali Bongo's affordable miser line. Didn't label any of them so hopefully, they will all pack a punch when harvest time comes a couple of months from now.

Didn't label any of them

Shame...

Could use some colored tape/stickers/band if this is guerilla.

I love sativa, zamaldelica its very nice strain

I hear ya Hashlife. Sativa's are the best. Lots of energy and no couchlock. Soon I'll be transplanting outdoors a Sativa with really skinny, needle-like leaves. The tree grows short and compact so I'm thinking this might be a Malawi plant. At long last I will finally get to actually taste these connoisseur grade pure Sativas that Ace develops so well. It ought to be quite a ride for sure.

Hey everyone, l hope you’re all well.
Lovely Swamp Thing, I’m really looking forward to seeing how the year and plants progress for you.
I’ve used a similar funnel idea, except with a black plastic sheet about 1m x 1m, pinned down, with the plant in the middle, on a slight decline. This not only has the benefit of harvesting water but also warms the soil early in the season. I’ve been trying to remember if an additional benefit was pest prevention, because they didn’t like traveling across it but I just can’t remember, it was a long time ago and I’ve since started using water crystals.
Having followed Dubi for quite a number of years, I’m certain he’ll be able to identify those plants without trying, particularly once they hit full flower.
Love your work,
40.

That's sort of like having a Neon Sign advertising your Grow.

Assuming you want to actually Harvest - the funnels should be spray-painted light brown - like the dirt. Though black is also sometimes a good color for stealth.

I suggest buying or borrowing a Drone with a camera to check out the aerial view of your garden.

For me (its subjective) the best's sativas are asian sativas(thai or Himalayan), Caribbean and zamal ("poivré" or "mangue carotte"), i like less the African ans south American sativa (not every) because have a light but desagradable tachycardic effect in me, but it's sad because i love the subtil flavour of this country .

With this wise caution in mind, I'll head out first thing tomorrow and remove those funnels until I can return later with lots of mulch to cover them up. I'm the only drone flier in this remote area, BUT subsistence hunters and timber thieves do turn up in the most unlikely of places, and those bright objects will make it well nigh impossible to miss my otherwise well-hidden spots.

This timely tip is much appreciated. This bud's fer you sir.

Hey everyone,
here’s a quick update on the crazy double cotyledon start. I’ve been trying to do a bit of research and the best l can come up with is that it’s a genetic throwback to a time before selection processes started so a more wild expression of the plant.
I’m thinking of sending the photo off to a few breeders and see what they come up with

Veg pics are a bit boring but thought I would add my small grow pics. I have GG4 an purple satellite in this small patch. The spot doesn't get light to around 8:00am. A couple of before and after cleaning up the patch. I like to keep it clean/weed it for a number of reasons. The first being less insect problems when you let the sunlight in and second it helps keep the mice from chewing the stems in the fall.

This is a true guerrilla grow and I try to visit every two weeks or longer. The longer away from the plot the better. Each time I show up I spray with a mixture of liquid copper and seven. Leaf spot and corn borers are the main enemy here in the midwest farm belt. I keep my gear buried on site. I one gallon sprayer, 5 gal paint strainer, and the liquid copper and seven fit nicely in the 5 gal container. I also carry a rope to keep from making trails in and out of the near by creek or crick as us hillbillys call it. One of the most dangerous times is when you have to fetch the water for the sprayer. You are out in the open for all to see. The rope allows me to stay hidden the whole time while getting water for the sprayer.

Anybody use coconut water as part of their feeding/watering regimen?

It's supposed to encourage root growth/multiplication, which I think might be part of my problem: the soil might not be soft and loamy enough for the roots to really, really thrive and if the roots aren't thriving and extensive and many, the plant's ability to take in nutrients from all of the EWC, chicken manure, frass, kelp, etc will be limited.

 

[St. Phatty]

Romberry x Apollo 11 crosses. Got 5 total, will be happy to get 2 females out of that.

And it will be VERY DIFFICULT to resist the urge to let one of the males do his thing in an alley next to the garage, about 75 yards from the females. To get a dusting of seeds.

This is the part where they Grow Fast in the Hot Sun ... I hope.

Hi everyone.
Well Tony Green, of “Tony Green’s Tortured Beans” has got back to me regarding the double cotyledon plant and has told me that this type of plant tends to produce extra hormones and flowers hard, if it’s a female; so much thanks to Tony for the knowledge.
DuskrayTroubador, I’ve never used it but I do remember when it became all the rage for explosive growth because it was supposed to premote auxin development within the plant.
I don’t mean to sound condescending and I’m sure you’re no newb but I’ve often found less is more, particularly with young plants because they can be easily over cared for. Once you can isolate the peramiters of a plants specific needs such as temperature, soil and nutrient uptake, during different periods of growth, the rest is tweeking.
Potassium is in there for root development and healthy cell devision and kelp, as we know, is not a fertiliser, it’s a soil conditioner that stimulates auxin development within the plant. I remember reading that some growers prefer to add (liquid)kelp at transition and beyond because they believe it stimulates flowering and shouldn’t be used during veg. Personally I’ve always used it at every watering, in conjunction with all the other goodies, with no adverse reactions. I noticed Schrews also used liquid kelp for all his feedings last year too.
I hope this helps and I haven’t just gone off on a rant.
Cheers,
40.

They’re flying.. can’t believe what a difference it makes starting plants off under lights indoors before putting them out! In comparison to those I started on a south facing windowsill .

Above ones are indoor start plants.. below were on the windowsill.. granted, about 3 weeks after the indoor starters .
