Hey Dirt, I've never tried any outdoor growing. I have a ton of neighbors and would like to venture outdoors one of these years. Got a few questions. How is the smell? How far does it spread from the house. How bad can the smell get with a low odor strain? I am a big fan of NL #5 and it has a low odor indoors. Do they get stinkier outdoors? I hope you don't mind the barrage of questions. Nice new pics. The AK47 momma is gorgeous.

I have grew NL Original indoors and out and it was low oder.

Yah my backyard reeks about this time. What I do is bring a yard of fresh cow manure into my yard. I put a huge pile in my veggie garden. And leave the rest in the trailor on the side of my house.

I then take wheel barrow over to two of my neighbors house and give them some. Every year I just use the bought to much again excuse. After this my backyard and neighborhood smells like a cow town. I stir the piles every few days. Masks the smells very good.
 
Hey, good info. I'll keep the Dr. Atomic NL inside for the meantime. They really dont smell much indoors. I wonder if they will stink up the neighborhood?

Time for some bud shots.

Forrest fires near by so getting lots of ash falling on my plants. Had the leaf blower out yesterday. Not really that bad today. But thats what you see on the leafs in spots. The fires are far away but the wind most have carried ash about 50 miles or so.

Lovely update!
I'm amazed about those girls... it's clear you're taking a good care of them. and when i look at them, I also feel bad for my 2,5m ladies outthere that are having hard times last 2 months because of dry weather. They lost at least half of leaves and flowering is impacted.. I'd be the happiest man if i could have a backyard like you. That prohibition is just silly..

I'm looking forward to seeing your monsters in few weeks :D

peace
 
Dude, every picture is something amazing. Love the video's. I've always wanted a tree of my own. Maybe one day I could build a treehouse in it and pick nugs from the treehouse windows. lol

Okay the rain is on the way so I started my cover. My work was tossing out these plastic curtians things that hang in warehouse doors. I got about 75 of them. I am using these for I need a few doors to get to my plants. With my patio roof I am cramped on the front side of the cover some. This is why you see two doors. The back side of the cover will be open for the trees stop all the rain and I like the air flow. But I needed doors on the front side. They are thick heavy plastic rubber type. I will make a loop on the bottom of them and slide a board thru for to stop from flapping in the wind. The shorter door will not matter for the door is far from the plants. Also my dogs need to get thru as well.

Anyway here is the start of my project and some bud shots.

Enjoy.

Also from my works dumpster. These little metal clamps things work great to hold wood to metal poles. A guy could use plumber metal strips as well. (not sure what they call them) This method locks the wood soild. In the past I drilled holes on each side of the pole and used bailing wire. This was is much better and faster.

This update shows how I will get around that little plant. Also how low the plastic will go on the side. Also used some slates to hold the door rubber. The tape is the hinge. LOL

My dog will dig that hole and lay in it all day when it is hot. He never was a digger until I grow MJ plants.

I got about 2 to 3 weeks for the the AD in the pots. About 4 weeks for the ones in the ground. The dogshit 5 weeks. I am thinking anyway.

I got my cover on today. It's just laying on now. I still have to skin it tight. But this will give you an idea how it wll look.

This is 20x65 sheet of plastic once I cut it off th 20x100 roll. The boards on the one roof will be taken down. They make it worse for more spots to puddle. On the front side of the cover it will go down low to the ground. The other side will be open for no rain comes thru the trees. This way it not locked in air with good airflow but 100% dry.

Some pics. Smells good under the cover.

Okay this is what I came up with. Was raining so I will go back when it is dry and re tape it all. I still need to make a lean too to cover the plant sticking out the side.
