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.

Looking awesome mate!

Despite my disappointments in previous years trying to grow in my miserable micro climate, I decided to stick some in dirt again after a year’s hiatus from outdoor. My yard is mostly shaded with mature trees and the prime sunny spot is no-grow zone to preserve marital bliss. The other sunny area is a dead air patio where bugs and white powdery mildew are guaranteed. So I opted for another area that gets about 40% sun but lots of moving air. So certainly not ideal but useable. Hopefully the smell will piss my neighbour off. My goal is a first week in August finish to try to beat the WPM peak season in late summer and early fall. I started them in my tent in late April and yes, I did the unthinkable and transplanted them outside into the ground as 4 week old plants. They were instantly shredded by leaf eaters or some similar pinhole eating insect, but they survived. I fed the dirt lightly beforehand and I have been foliar spraying them with some Canna and some Boost at 3 day intervals for the last 2 weeks.

Auto crosses made by @ReikoX . The father was a Sugar Black Rose and he got busy and fertilized several strains . . . Alaskan Purple, Red Poison, Dark Devil . . . I am growing three of these. One of them – pics 2 & 3 – is showing purple flowers.

Are you on an island or somewhere where there are no deer ?

I have 2 categories of plant. All un-fenced plants are, by default, deer food.

Then the trick is putting up fences - without losing stealth.

No deer here just rabbits and foxes… but they seem to leave them alone, other than the odd rabbit having a little dig in the soil occasionally, but nothing detrimental.

Beware: I've had rabbits eat plants through the stem and leave the entire plant laying on the ground to die.

No shit. It looks like someone went up and clean cut your plant with a machete 8 or 10 inches off the ground. They did that to 3 ft plants.

I've had to deal with Casual Cannabis plant eaters and DETERMINED Cannabis plant eaters.

For the casual ones, just having a wire mesh cover over the plant keeps them away.

For the determined ones, like ground rats, they tunnel underneath.

So for them I have wire mesh buried in the ground, and a wire mesh cover.

You have a particular method for burying chicken wire? How deep you go?

I like the idea of digging a narrow trench around the circumference of the holes and throwing some mesh in there.

I'm gonna have to learn how to use this software ...

It was for Lettuce, grown guerilla style.

Not buried deep, maybe 4 inches in one place, 8 inches in another.

The Cannabis is mostly grown near the house. It gets the most care & attention.

Saludos a tod@s desde lo más profundo del Hispañistán Profundo (para que mis compatriotas se ubiquen: la zona esa donde aún tiramos cabras desde los campanarios), hoy 26-Julio, cuando son las 21:15, momento exacto de mis fotos.

Greetings to all of you from the deepest part of Deep Hispañistan (so that my compatriots can locate themselves: the area where we still throw goats from the bell towers), today 26-July, when it is 21:15, the exact moment of my photos.

Después de regalarle 15°C al anfitrión de este hilo, me he quedado en la gloria, con máximas a la sombra que ya no exceden los 37°C (98'6°F). También ha cesado la calima sahariana, y el aire ya no quema, sino que refresca.
Aún así, la temprana ola de calor sahariano a secado prematuramente el campo, y ya hay restricciones en el suministro de agua...
A este joven granado, se le han secado todas las flores menos esta:

After giving away 15°C to the host of this thread, I have been left in glory, with highs in the shade no longer exceeding 37°C (98'6°F). The Saharan haze has also ceased, and the air no longer burns, but cools.
Even so, the early Saharan heat wave has prematurely dried out the countryside, and there are already restrictions on the water supply...
This young pomegranate tree has dried out all but this one blossom:

Incluso a este joven palmito se le han secado las inflorescencias:

Even the inflorescences of this young palm-heart tree have dried up:

Sin embargo y como es lógico, a las palmeras canarias no hay ola de calor que parezca afectarles, y siguen fructificado sin problemas:

However, as is logical, no heat wave seems to affect the Canary's palms-trees, and they continue to bear fruit without any problems:

Tampoco las adelfas blancas se han visto muy afectadas (si se han secado muchas flores de las rosas, no se porqué). Aquí hay suficiente veneno para matar a medio foro...:

Nor have the white oleanders been much affected (if many flowers of the roses have dried up, I don't know why). There is enough poison here to kill half the forum....:

A los membrilleros, también se le han caído prematuramente muchos frutos:

Quince trees, too, have prematurely dropped many fruits:

Los olivos más tempranos, han perdido parte de su fruto en formación, y seguramente se reduzca bastante la producción de los más tardíos.
El olivar, situado a media loma del cerro, en la dehesa/sábana hasta que realmente empieza el bosque mediterráneo-continentalizado salvaje de más arriba y que asoma de fondo, parece la sábana africana subsahariana en temporada seca...:

The earliest olive trees have lost part of their fruit in formation, and the production of the later ones will probably be considerably reduced.
The olive grove, located halfway up the hill, in the dehesa/savannah until the wild Mediterranean-continentalized forest above really begins and which appears in the background, looks like the sub-Saharan African savannah in dry season...:

King Congo (Congo Point Noire X South African Ciskei; Tropical Seeds Company; nacida/born 15-Mayo).

Ya os comenté como un año más, muestra su sexo con apenas un mes de edad, adelantando en ello incluso a índicas puras. También espero a ver si como otras veces, en cuanto "detecte" el acortamiento de las horas de luz diurna, se ponga a florar... Eso sí, luego no está lista en mi zona y clima hasta (mínimo los "fenos" más tempranos que he visto) la mitad de Noviembre ...
No sólo es la más alta que el resto de las plantas coetáneas, sino la más ramificada, y con mucho: aquí ya le he cortado los 2 nudos inferiores (cuatro ramitas). En las otras plantas las ramificaciones apenas apuntan, y son casi imposibles de cortar:

I already told you how, one more year, it shows its sex when it is only one month old, even ahead of pure indicas. I am also waiting to see if, like other times, as soon as it "detects" the shortening of the daylight hours, it starts to flower... Of course, then it is not ready in my area and climate until (at least the earliest "phenos" I've seen) the middle of November ...
It is not only taller than the rest of the contemporary plants, but also the most branched, and by far: here I have already cut the 2 lower nodes (four twigs). On the other plants the branches barely point out, and are almost impossible to cut:

[Green Squall]

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.

I like you style. As far as I'm concerned, you're just gonna get a huge crop of some some killer sativa! No worries not labeling them.

When do you expect harvest for the Ace strains? I've been tempted, but don't think they'll finish here in time.

 

[Swamp Thang]

I'm planning on allowing the flowering stage to extend until I can see lots of amber trichomes, GS. They may be done a lot sooner than a typical outdoor planted Sativa though because most of these shrubs were transplanted from indoor 16/8 lighting to outdoor 12/12 natural daylight when they were a decent size already and stretching quite a bit.

Going to try a new idea of planting a small newly rooted clone near the base of each larger plant, slightly off to one side so the smaller plant isn't in the shade. This way I'm hoping both plants can feed on that rotting fish fertilizer, and yield a harvest in two installments.

I'd like to be out of there by the end of September when the brush dries out along the swamp forest fringes and fires become a concern. With the whole mackerel fish cut in halves and buried just beneath the root of each tree, and this year's regular rainfall, I'm hoping for a bumper harvest that I can then compress into pucks with a hydraulic jack rig, ready to be vacuum sealed then stored for years inside air-tight containers buried in GPS-marked spots far from home.

Ideally, I'd like to quit growing for a couple of years to give my frayed nerves a rest while I enjoy micro-doses of my woodland stored mega-stash of 2022.

I don't understand that part... If I translate well the verb tenses and I'm not wrong when placing you by the Southeast of the USA, you speak of your already transplanted plants and not of a future new batch... How did you manage to bring them from an indoor at 16/8 to an natural daylight outdoor at 12/12?
Miami, for example (as is the case with the southernmost part of my own nation), has only one hour of sun less than me today....

I am hurriedly shutting down my indoor grow for security reasons, so the mother plants which have yielded dozens of clones are being relocated outdoors, alongside much smaller clones that are just starting to root in dixie cups indoors.

I plan to transplant those larger indoor shrubs at a slight angle in the swap grow spot, thus leaving room for a much smaller clone in the same hole amended last year with worm castings to which a whole mackerel was the only fertilizer added this year.

Some of the seedlings I transplanted from indoors to outdoors as this year's very first batch went to flower immediately and looked to be winding up their life cycle way early. I harvested those for my pre-harvest toking pleasure while I tend the rest of the crop that is thankfully still producing healthy vegetative growth.

I've used 5-1-1 Alaska Fish Fertilizer (supposedly descented, per the jug) for years. Mostly now I use it in the veggie gardens, as it's relatively inexpensive in bulk (1-gallon, etc.). I've also used their Alaska 0-10-10 Mor Bloom as an adjunct in the veggies, as well.

I was told years ago here (ICMag), by GrowingCrazy, that cold-pressed fish hydrolisate (spelling) was superior in what it offered the plants, re. my cannabis, and I've been using some semblance of that type of product since. I think a readily available product that may meet needs is Neptune's Harvest at, I believe, a 2-3-0, and I use that in combination with a liquid bone meal to further boost Ca & P during bloom.. with good success, I'd add. My 1-0-0 Safer Gro Biomin Liquid Calcium gives me a boost in N when needed, as well as bolstering the Ca.

But from what I understood back then, the Alaska Fish fertilizer 5-1-1 is not a cold pressed product, per se'.

By the way, back when I lived in a smaller well-known rural coastal community up here, I'd/we'd go to the fish cannery (salmon processing plant in appropriate season) and get permission to acquire trash bags of salmon waste from the slime line. You could only put so many lbs. of this wet slimy stuff into a heavy-duty trash bag before it was too heavy to transport without bursting, which you ABSOLUTELY could not allow to happen. YUCK!!

We'd till this into the veggie and flower garden there as deeply as we could manage, with very limited hydrated lime added, and a bit of low magnesium garden lime and such, and despite them live-trapping large coastal brown bears a couple blocks from our house, we never saw one in our lot that we noted. Admittedly, I'm vision impaired, but a large brown bear is difficult to not see, too. And I was younger then, as well, so, in theory, my vision was better.

Proper tilling and liming takes care of the majority of that issue. People leaving accessible dog food and trash on their back porches? Not so much. They tend to get the unexpected furry visits in the night.

And yes, that 5-1-1 Alaska Fish Fertilizer, despite claiming to be descented, MAN!! I'd hate to smell it BEFORE They knocked the scent down!!

I too, used Alaska Fish for years. But the last 6yrs or so I have been able to get a locally made product called Pacific Fish. 2-3-0 cold pressed fish hydroslate. Fairly decent price, usually doesn't smell quite as bad, and a much better product IMO. Microbes, fungi and the plants love this stuff.
Possibly that Neptune's harvest sporting the same numbers is the same product.....
I too live in heavy bear country, and they are often in my yard but more interested in my fruit trees, berries and grapes. I do use fish, alfalfa and molasses, all bear attractants, but I will make sure to water after the feed to wash down the smells into the soil.
