for outdoor I think my strategy this year is to be completely using clones ,it takes a lot of the burden off , I can veg them 24/7 inside all of may & all of June & as nice as plants put them out in July 1st... I’ve put plants out beginning of July and you would be surprised how big they get when it’s time to harvest in October

That was Whitney Farms organic potting soil for those keeping score. They've always been a 'premium' type brand I've used for years with no problems. Used to love their mushroom compost, it was full of N. I'd cut it with perlite almost 50/50. I do my growing directly in the ground but I water down the bagged stuff and use it to make a seedling mix. One mistake was not screening it as carefully as I could. For the second run I got Black Gold's seedling mix. It worked great for sprouting the seeds but the first 75 degree F day it dried out so badly I had to water 3 times a day. Nothing but dust, dust, and sawdust. Luckily I found a local nursery next to a dairy farm that sells truckloads of organic composted manure. Beautiful stuff, perfectly broken down to the point it doesn't burn the plants. Fluffy and riddled with mycelium. I've been screening it and mixing it almost 50/50 with screened Sunshine Mix #4, then adding fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, epsom salts, etc. The plants love it, most years I stick them in the ground as soon as possible but this year I'm in no hurry. Sometimes you need to get burned to be motivated to come up with something better.

Last summer I discovered a bottled organic fertilizer called 'Agrothrive'. I've used quite a bit of organic Alaska Fish emulsion over the years, I got the idea I could find something better. Looked for something that's broken down to the point the plants can immediately take it in. This stuff does it, you can see the difference the next day. It's fermented grains and fish emulsion, the plants suck the stuff down. Everything's moving from the seedling stage to the small plant stage, along with some decent sunny weather.

Don't forget guerilla growers take extra water, in one of my Anything Outdoor threads I got out digging holes to plant in and seriously barely got back home. You can dehydrate alot faster than you think. Especially guerilla growing were you might be a few miles from water. I usually freeze them overnite and before I'd hit the Mtns I'd put my water in my backpack to take with me. That was several years ago but I still like to remind people. Good luck growers!!!

Well I will post up my first one of the year. Sprouted seeds on April 15th. Lived between my window sill and my deck until I transplanted a few days ago. Will grow in the bags for a couple of weeks to choose my phenos and then will be transplanted to their mounds.
Plants are slow and steady, been a cool spring though not very wet.
Mounds are ready, and the garlic doesn't seem to mind the cool weather.

Water with Mosquito Larvae = Acquired Taste, for sure.

Lol, man I don't even just go scouting guerilla spots with 2-3 16oz waters. That sun can dry your ass out quick guys

Beautiful stuff Black Bart it's got a primordial purple look to it.

The first 3 attachments show the slow progress of the C99 x GG#4. Very strange, it's like the plants began life in the flowering cycle and need to re-veg. The only one with a chance to turn out well is the last one.

Otherwise the growth is explosive, very excited to see how the stuff turns out. The 4th attachment is 4th meal, a strain by Oni Seeds. (Loompa's Headband x Karma's Headstash) X (White OG x SFV OG) It's stuff that's been tread plenty of times but it's proven itself reliable and potent. Sometimes when you get the best x best x best x best there's no vigor outdoors, this isn't the case as it and it's sibling are two of my larger plants.

The next is the Select Grape Ape x Bubblegum. (probably the same plant I posted an early pic of) It's showing the characteristics I look for, ridiculously wide fat leaves, a bottomless hunger for nutrients, and a sweet grapey bubblegummy taste when I rub the stalk. The seed stock has gotten old, 8 or 9 years, but I still had a germination rate over 50%. I'll be sad when the last of them peeter out but I've done a lot of breeding with the line so it will live on.

Last I'll stick in a Love Triangle since they're so awesome looking. I planted I think 5 or 6 and only one's a dud. Every one has a frightening fat potent look to it.

Do you introduce sunlight gradually for the transition?
That looks like some pretty full on baking sun. If you don't give them about 75% shade initially, and then gradually allow more direct sun a day for a week, they will sunburn and cook some leaves.

Mang, this was the longest winter of my life, with the covid shit, everything closed, can't travel, mom got sick, broke up with me ladyfriend, now mowing between two houses + a summer cottage, tryinna pre-grow some earlies somewhere in there. Favourite nute store went under, even tho they were doing good business, fucking tax man got em on some shit. So had to find new suppliers, took a while to get that crap sorted 'cause more ppl are getting into growing stuff for themselves, not just weed but food and thing. Short supply on some organic nutes I'm used to, and prices gone up, too. Cold spring, still some snow here and there. First planted autos were eaten by animals or the cold got em. And I dropped my copy of Batman for 8-bit Nintendo and it doesn't work nomo.

Not that I'm complaining, but c'mon mang!

Thought for a while that I would just skip the season, but then what am I gonna do? Wait it out and bitch and whine about not doing anything.. Hell no, mang!

Get a grip, time to MAN THE F UP! So I started with renovating old spots, carrying some chicken shit and compost and fresh soil, digging holes and thing. Enjoying the outdoors and doing stuff again. And I got a good deal on a new copy of that Batman game, too.
And so..

Actually, I got to do like that photo with the straw - protect the pot and the soil from the heat.
Put on some mulch and some alum foil ... or start spray painting pots white.

THOUGH ACTUALLY ... 2 of the plants are keepers so they will go in the BIG pots, which are already heat protected.

Yeah you can tell that one is growing fast, with the almost "wrinkly" look to some of the leaves. Had one that looked very similar last year, but a little lighter green.
If you don't mind how do you store your seeds...fridge or freezer ? I'm guessing cause 8-9 years is quite awhile.
If you really like it then you know you should be making a few new seeds this year.

Not talking about your soil but your leaves, like sunburn.
If you are all pasty white from being inside all winter and take a trip to Mexico and lay out all day in the sun before you get a base, results are?
Same for your plants. Indoor lighting does not prepare them for all the different UV from the sun. They need to slowly build a base up before they can take direct sun all day.
