Hiding in Plain Sight

[NPK]

Yeah, right? With gas at over three bucks a gallon I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people getting around by horse!

Thanks man...just wish that one girlie would perk up. Dunno why she's so wilty.

sick man. i like how all your plants are in your backyard just chillin'. it's just a matter of time 'til i can do that. yeah man, i have some plants a month old (outside) and one of them just drops like no other. been like that for over a week. it could be the heat, like you said, over here in cali. it also has the biggest leaves of all four...??.. don't know too much about the plants, but i'm guessing it could have something to do with the strain and the weather. good luck

i would give the wilting one even more water actually...hopefully it'll bounce back.

Been almost a month since I updated here. I dunno...looking at some of the truly astonishing gardens here makes me think my backyard grow ain't no big thang. But hey, I've been documenting it since what, February? March? So it'd be cool to capture the whole thing here. So, here we go--my garden as of yesterday:

I've lost two big plants since my last update--the one that had been on the far left and the one that previously obscured the sadly visible tomatoes. Ever since then, I've been highly concerned about further losses, especially of the immediate neighbors, but so far so good.

Flowering has begun in earnest. Dig the pink bud on this white widow:

This is one of my shorter plants, but her buds are getting nice and frosty--not to mention stinky.

And finally, some of the canopy from above:

Getting there!

Its all going Good NPK
Your quite a while from choppin tho yes?


Have enjoyed watching your grow,So dont u dare stop posting now m8!!!

 

[NPK]

Yeah, I thought they'd be farther into flowering than than they are. Actually, the two that I didn't tie up are WAY ahead of those I didn't--so I guess training shocks the plants in such a way that delays flowering. Hoping the trained ones will be ready sometime around mid-October.

 

[Guest]

i wish it was october right about now lol

 

[Guest]

The garden is looking good NPK... thank you for the updates.

 

[NPK]

Yeah JayRoach, it's an exercise in patience all right. I think six months is a pretty long wait.

Thanks Maistre!

My garden is starting to look kinda interesting!

I trained this one oddly, and now her branches are flopping over from the weight. After I took this shot I stuck another tomato cage in the ground behind her and tied those branches up.

This one is Caramella. This shit is soooo tasty. Just wish I'd stuck more of those clones into the ground; this is the only one that grew to any real size.

Figuring out how to take macro shots:

More good times:

Still MORE good times:

I find the intense blue of these salvia flowers so striking near the red zinnias:

Beautiful symmetry in this succulent:

Hope everyones' gardens are thriving!

[NPK]

Thanks man! I'm thinking another month to six weeks before I bust out the Fiskars.

hi npk

Lovely pics m8
there looking dandy*smileS*

Happy with the stealth still?Thought of any ways to hide things even more?(Unless of course your happy as is))

 

[NPK]

Hiya Tunes! Yeah, I'm satisfied with the privacy, though I probably shouldn't say that until all the girls have been chopped. Fortunately my job allows me to work from home so I'm able to keep an eye on 'em most of the time.

 

[Guest]

still looking good npk.....just waitn for the chop uh???? arent we all..

how much longer you think?

 

[NPK]

Well, some of it looks close to ready now, but I don't want to make the common mistake of harvesting too soon, so I wanna give 'em at least another three weeks and possibly as much as five weeks. My crappy little Radio Shack scope conked out so I can't check the trichomes. Hate to keep shelling out $10 for those cheap things.

The terraces are looking great. Really starting to fatten up. You should get a little magnifying loop. They work well and last. Not real sure where to get them, I just inherited mine. You dont necessarily need a magnifying glass though.

 

[NPK]

Thanks man, I appreciate the props from a grower like you.

I was scoping out jewlers' loupes (haha, ouch) on eBay yesterday. You can get a 30X magnifier for around $15 with s/h, so yeah, that's what I'll probably end up getting.

The widders have put on some weight over the past couple of weeks:

Caramella on the left, White Widow on the right:

They're definitely getting there, but not quite yet. I like it abundant, and I like it STONY.
