Indoor KA5H and outdoor Oaxacan

[blondie]

Indoor I’ve got 2 KA5H, a red snake, a seedsman freebie blueberry, and charlottes angel cbd. May 18 started flower indoor and added cbd to flower last night. Today is day one for that plant.

Put three Oaxacan direct into the garden bed. Two are doing great and the other is ok. Early on the one plant got very dry and has never really recovered. I find this very fascinating as it’s been in the same soil and conditions as the other two. I have some bonus plants that spouted. I dumped my old soil in the garden and three plants sprouted. Likely punta Rosa. Or a cross. Not sure. I’m going to let them go and see what happens.

Put out a nutter budder plant from humboldt. This strain is wonky but pretty strong. Gummy fodder as I call it. Also put out another cbd plant. These two plants been vegging long time. You can easily recognize the nb due to the funky colored leaves. Other large plant is the Cbd. I wanted a sun grown cbd so outside it went. These two are in grow bags with ocean forest soil.

Indoor view. All plants are doing well. No sign of sex on the red snake yet. If it’s female, going to be a long flower period. The ka5h are done with stretch. The corner gal is clearly flowering faster. The red snake is the shorter plant below.

Things are growing well, though indoor they need P. Just gave some nutes and filled the water buckets. Hopefully that will do the trick. I found a bunch of creepy crawly bastards in the water container. Not real sure what they are. The red snake is slowly stretching. Very late flowering.

Snapped a few of the outdoor grow this morning. This Oaxacan line is growing well now. My mystery seeds are growing slowly. Dry as a bone here.

Looking good. Keep it up!

I don't know what kind of weather you have where you are blondie. Where I'm at, I have to cover the soil with hay mulch to keep the plants from burning up. Also, the mulch helps hold water longer and keeps the microbes happy. Your plants look nice and happy. In the old days, the weed we could grow was Mexican.

 

[blondie]

Thanks creepy. Usually no mulch needed. The weather here this spring was unusually dry. I didn’t look but seems this should be considered a drought. No rain in many weeks. I’ve been watering with tap water. Either that or dead plants. I’ve reserved rain water for indoor. I’m nearly out of rain water though. I’ve been using AC infinity self watering containers indoor and that has helped conserve water as well as even plant watering. Those ka5h are quite good though some calcium and phosphorus were needed.

@Cactus Squatter . Hey squatter.. when you add sea 90 or whatever nutes, you top water or add to the water reservoir?

I’ve started adding a bit of epsoms salt and a touch of gypsum to the water reservoir. Seems they are highly dissolvable and that should work. Gypsum should supply needed calcium is the thinking.

I’m in organic soil, only water goes in my SIP trays. I just add it to water when I topwater mid week.

The Oaxacans are growing great outdoors in this hot dry weather. I think if there were enough rain they would be growing phenomenal. The mystery seeds are coming along as well but not sure what they are. Small plant below. Doesn’t look like a punta Rosa so I’m guessing white widow. Maybe cbd as well.

Oaxacans are in the garden direct, three large plants. The garden smaller plant is mystery from my recycled soil. Two in pots... good looking plant is cbd. Wonky looking plant is Humboldt nutter budder.

Your plants are looking good Blondie. If your plants are outdoors they would love you if you mulched them with hay or straw. It keeps the soil cooler and holds more water longer and feeds microbes.

 

[blondie]

thanks creepy. I think you are right. I need to look for some mulch. Rain forecast for the weekend, actually like four days in a row. Time to refill water buckets.

Those Oaxacans are stinky plants. Definitely not landrace. I’ve never grown plants that have such big leaves. Will be interesting to see what they turn out like.

 

[blondie]

Outdoor is going great. The plants are just monsters. I might have some aphids or something though.

My cbd is flowering. It must not have liked going outdoors.

 

[blondie]

My indoor grow went to shit on me but I think I’ve recovered as best as possible. The ka5h seem to be forgiving. I suspect at first I had calcium deficiency and in my attempt to stop I caused a nute lockout. Aggravating but learn and move on. I flushed the hell out of the soil with my remaining rainwater, then let dry. After a while I added lemon juice to water and gave to the plants. The theory being my ph was high and lemon juice water would lower ph, even a temporary basis I thought may help. Did this a few times now and the red snake stretched!! Meanwhile.. ka5h shook it off and kept fattening up. I suspect since they are heavy feeders they mostly took everything I gave them.

Here is one ka5h. This is the faster flowering plant.

 

[blondie]

The good news is my outdoor grow is doing phenomenal. The Oaxacan hybrids are going gangbusters. I really hope the stretch is zero as these things are far larger than I wanted.

 

[blondie]

These Oaxacans are just crazy.. now they grew up past the top of the tomato cages. Beautiful plants really. Great branching. They just need to stop growing and start flowering. It’s weird really. Two plants are seeds that fell into the recycled soil I’m using and self sprouted. The leaves don’t look like anything I grew indoors. They look like the Oaxacans. I guess natural sun vs LEDs. Rest of the garden is in good shape, just a bit slow due to no rain. Been eating seriously healthy lately from garden veggies. Good stuff..

Nice thread and sweet looking plants @blondie.

 

[blondie]

Welcome to the show timj. Thanks for the compliment. I need to mulch as creepy has pointed out. Health is getting in the way of projects such as this at the moment though.

My indoor leaves are crispy unfortunately. I’m Looking into BioTabs next run for nutes. Not sure when I’ll turn the grow light back on after this as I assume harvest will be far more than I can use. Im looking for a local VA hospital or similar to donate. I’m thinking of doing just plain seed runs for a while. Anyone wanting a seed run shoot me a pm.

It's cool that you are willing to donate some of your excess. I give away more than I use too. I just love growing.

where did the Oaxacan come from?

 

[blondie]

@midwestkid Welcome to the thread. The answer is alter ego, but from a different source than below. It might be somewhat different also as my seeds were old, from 2016 or maybe 18. I am counting on this to be a hybrid and done earlier than 14 weeks. The seller clearly said hybrid and done early/mid oct, why it’s outside.

Highland Oaxaca Gold F2 - Mexican Heirloom

When I had these before I got a lot of messages if these were real. I got several messages from old school growers that ran it last year and they said it was legit.
