Been growing on and off for about 30 years, when I started i experimented with where to grow, I would look at my backyard and think 'I could grow a plant there and it wouldn't be seen', I once grew a plant in a crack in the concrete, it only grew about 10cm tall and gave me a few cones but it worked, I used to put a 4L distilled water bottle with a hole pricked in the bottom corner full of water every day next to the plant in the concrete, it would drip water all day.

I remember planting my first plants out behind my house, at 16 years old, having no clue what I was doing. The deer got most of them but I managed to get a couple grams of bud off one, probably picked way too early, but it hooked me ever since. Even though it's on and off sometimes, I always come back to it.

Red Russian (White Russian x PCK) - Nearly ready to harvest.

Hey man that looks really nice.. how many weeks is that? Have had the regular battles of this time of year, planes, helicopters and mold. Had a helicolter flying the pines where I am growing, it had a boom for spraying on it with a very small cannister. Have some rubbish photos hahaha.

Pulled the biggest plant as it stood out likes dog nuts, pity because it still had a couple weeks to go. Buds were fat,solid and stick as though.

Could always be worse.. i don't know how it will work for the rest of the plants out there though..

visited a mate today to check out his grow ,
i supplied him a few cuts a while back ,
he does some nice work i think ...
first up is ash , afghan skunk haze ...

 

[Donald Mallard]

chem x jb ,
jb im told may be sssdh ..

 

[Donald Mallard]

should be diesel this next one ,
but im unsure given the different medium and grow style ,
]i usually grow her outdoors and she stinks a lot more than in this guys set up,
but then so does the chem x , so might just be different set ups etc ..

he has had a few issues on this first run with them i think ,
takes him 2 shots to get them right he tells me ,
im fairly happy with how they are doing though ,
he is a good grower and knows his stuff indoors from what i can tell ,
its all new to me as i said , im an outdoor man ,

anyhow im giving him a big thumbs up ...

 

[rod58]

i'm all outdoors too don ...but when you see stuff like that .. wow indeed ! some guys are pretty bloody good at it !

 

[Donald Mallard]

yea i love going there to check it out rod ,
he sure knows how to grow a few plants indoors ,
everything is always neat and tidy and clean too ...

Could always be worse..

Yep, by the looks, could definitely be worse!

I heard from a tree feller who used to get helicoptered into forest in New Guinea that what really sticks out is the yellow fan leaves.

(Aussies, he used to fell the biggest Red Cedars!)

[Donald Mallard]

if i use a photo from the album , i select the photo , click it , copy the location then use the add by url feature ,
paste location of photo into the url ...
then the photo is loaded to the bottom of the reply , with those options i told you about earlier rod ,
i dunno why its like that , it s a bit of a pain , but it works if you use that method ...

Gee, that garden must smell. Wonder how s/he gets them that big? Must keep him fit maintaining those ...

 

[Donald Mallard]

well i think you touch on a major part of outdoor growing vh,
how good it is to get out there amongst nature ,
you get fitter , you see things you may not otherwise see,
and you become part of all the things going on out there ,
the sights , the smells , the flora and fauna ,
its beneficial in so many ways ...
