Maria's Subtropical Outdoor Guerilla Grows with Connoisseur Genetics (Perpetual Journal)

Thanks for the pointers.
Though, being a guerilla grow, in a nation that has some pretty N@zi drug laws, there's only so much I can do.
If you go back through last season of this grow, you'll see that they mature okay in the winter here.
In fact, these girls in the pics above are doing fine in the weather.
The small calyxes I mentioned earlier where from late summer through fall,
when temps are around high of 38C to lows of about 25C.
And the UV factor, well, this is subtropical, we have plenty of UV.
But the weather was horrible in the late fall.
Nothing I can do about that.
Root temps will just be ambient temps, from about 15C to 20C these days.
Any practical advice for warming root temps in a guerilla grow like this?
It's not like I can run a heating mat out there for them!

Yeah I gather that you do your best at the conditions at hand, not easy with that kind of cold around indeed..
If they are in pots id recommend isolating the pots somehow to retain as much heat as possible.
In the ground it's a different story and I don't see too much solutions.

Summer-Fall-Winter Grow -- Maria's Haze Heaven Hacienda!
Day something something...
The last two girls at opposite edges of the big bin.
Mother was SSSTN 'Sticky' pheno, and father was the ThaiFrican.
Super Silver Sour Thai Nevil = (Swiss Thai Nevil 1 clone) x (SSSDH OJD's cut reversed)
ThaiFrican = (Outback Haze 2 clone) x (Nev Hz 23 x Kariba Male)
Or more specifically = ((Hempy's Thai x NevHz 21) x NevHz 36 rev) x (NevHz 23 x Kariba).
Both parents from @ojd / Connoisseur Genetics -- how do they look, OJD?
Makes these girls about 40% Nevil (three phenos), 12.5% Thai (Swiss and Hempy's), 12.5% Kariba (Zimbabwean), plus the SSH and the Sour Diesel as well in the SSSDH.
Lots of genes in there, so no surprise these two girls and all their earlier sisters look so different, even though they are all amazing!
From chunky Diesel looking fast ones, to a fast pearl, to slow Thai phenos, and everything in between.
@Donald Mallard kindly pointed out the spider mite issue.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to prepare any treatment for that.
The Thicc Girl pheno (more SSSDH from mom SSSTN?)
She's getting really chonky now.
Branching structure like mom SSSTN.
But flowers are thicker and heavier.
Should be a January harvest for her, probably late Jan, though may run to Feb.
The Thai pheno (more Thai from both parents?)
She's just a big fluffy happy flower mass!
Her circumference is bigger than my two hands can wrap around (without squeezing).
More like February harvest for this girl.
Winter solstice is like around 10.5/13.5, but by end of Feb it's still around 11.5/12.5.
Last run that increasing light may have affected the flowering of their aunt, the SSSTN 'Fluffy' pheno.
But she finished off in March.
So I think we'll be okay with this young girl.
She still has a lot of flowering to do!
No need to water these days.
Very little rain, but the low temps and big bins keep the medium about perfect.
Humidity has been very low for around here, maybe 55%-65% -- great!
Temps fairly low, though, high/lows around 19C/12C,
Sunshine has appeared here and there, but not a lot.
Still, everything is lined up for a nice harvest of these two.
Looking like a fat oz each, but who knows what the Thai pheno will do?!
Meanwhile, I bagged the other two average phenos and the pearl pheno.
They'd been drying for a while on the wall on the 3rd floor here.
I cut down the average phenos, but left the pearl pheno whole, so she doesn't get mixed up.
About 1 oz for all three together, at a guess.
Not much, but okay given their growing situation and season.
Peace and Love,

and much better than your previous season that wouldn't let them mature like they have this season.Looking great and can see the real shape of the plant flowers now the slowly maturing, shame about Spider mite on that 1 but others look less or no damage.
Will be interesting to hear how these further maturity and later harvest plants compare to your last season plants

Thanks OJD!They looking great

Such outstanding genetics, when a cross with very little selection turns out buds like these.
Will keep you updated near the end.
Yes , that's what we hope for , still very special things found from a small number of seeds , some of us have little space and can't run huge numbers and you done some great grow of my seeds and your own creations also

The Stash -- SSSTN 'Sticky pheno' & Grail Project ((NvHz18 x MM) x (NvHz21 x MML)) 'Long pheno'
Partially buried in the jungle, four tightly packed jars, two from each plant.
Dried for about a month or more now, doing some test smokes soon.
Still have another three or four tightly packed jars of the SSSTN 'Fluffly pheno' and rest of the Grail.
