I almost forgot, flowering is in full effect now. Some strains are actually making bud formations, and the rest are stretching hard throwing pistils. Hopefully this means an early year, cause we're already getting late September temps at night.

So I am having a really good year thus far. Just picked my last autoflower yesterday too. I had 12 of them out this year. The first 11 gave me 240 grams of nice nugs, so I can't complain there seeing on how I only spent $120 on the seeds. Gonna try and make my own fem auto seeds this winter so next year I can be bringing pounds of auto's in, and my only investment will be the dirt:dance013:. Another thing too is I learned this year that I need to give my plants more individual room, six feet apart is too close.

Very nice..Congrats on the early harvest too. It has been a GREAT year for outdoor where I am too.
What are you using for nutes? Bricks of coco work great for bulking up your medium too.They are easy to get out to the spot too.I always had good luck in 18 and 30 gal totes.They don't dry out quite as fast as the smarties and if you bury them in tall grass they stay cooler than you'd think.Thirty two gallon green trash barrels make good swamp tube foundations too and you can get them for 8 bucks on sale. Your garden is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us :)

:ying:That growth looks fabulous. That last pack looks like its packing a bunch. Th ose few look lime bush hogs. Great job, breaking in natures floor can be interesting. But having a water line is out of the question
 
I think your one lucky guy,myself.If I found your garden,I would sit there and just look at your plants for about thirty minutes and just go on with my day,hoping that you didn't know I was their.

I hope you don't misunderstand my post.:tiphat:

Thanks guy's. Yeah the garden is doing pretty good this year. Hopefully things keep going like they have. We've had lots of rain this year and it really helped me out a lot. Next year I'm gonna make 20 gallon containers the smallest I have,gonna try a couple fifty's and a 100 gal to see what's up. Went there today to make sure they had enough water. I been going thru like 100-150 gallons everytime I water which is very other day. Mr. Fastcast don't worry brow I know exactly what you mean. I love to look at plants growing in nature. I have a hard time leaving sometimes

Nice going Frankie. Pass me the electrodes heh heh heh. Oh yesss. Its aliiiive. Its aliiiiive.


A few closeups of buds would be much appreciated. My seeds just went in their planters a couple of days ago, down in my swamp, and I am drawing some serious inspiration from your jungle scene.

Pics from today. Things are really jammin' now!!!!!!!! Got some that are pushing 7' tall with the girth to match. It's starting to smell big time too. I love walking into it and getting that whiff first thing in the morning. Got a real nice pineapple chunk that's getting trich's on the sugar leaves already, super excited about that. Anyway's on with the pics. The first pic is a couple kosher kush's, the second is some exodus kush, the third is pineapple chunk, fourth is big bang and the last one is greenhouse's white widow.

Next up is an acid s1, followed by some late season entries of northern lights x big bud. Then there's an la con x acid. which is a weird plant. It's a lot further along in flower than the rest of the girls and even than another clone from the same mother that is in the ground instead of a grow bag. Followed by a group shot of some deadhead og's, kosher kush, blueberry headband, and the tall one in the middle is g-bomb. The last pic is my solo La con. God I wish I had more of them out, it makes the hardest nugs outdoors.

It will all depend on the autumn weather, quantity of rainfall, flower timing and mold resistancy. Good luck man with your beautiful swamp garden :D

Nice shots Frankenstein. Them buds are taking shape fer sure, and everything looks well fed.
Thanks man. I have been pounding them with flower food the last couple weeks. Last week I gave each and every one of them a 5 gallon pail of "instant tea" as I would call it. I had an organic bloom booster fert that said it can be mixed in with the dirt, or made into a tea. Since I don't have a brewer in the swamp and hauling 150 gallons of water is out of the question. I made an instant tea on the spot. I used a ratio that was way less than they recommended. I went back three days later( it rained hard one night, it's usually every other day) and they exploded. Right now i'm going thru about 2 pounds of dry ferts every time I water.
Yes the buds are really starting to take shape now. I can see some foot long cola's in the near future. This year my plants stacked harder than they ever have, the internodal spacing so awesome. Just shows what happens with direct sunlight all day. I'm sure babying the shit out of them helped a little too.:woohoo:
