Yeah, as above, this was a sample run of both of those, and, Maroc, very pleased with it, will run it again.....Went a little earlier than I expected....not sure if they are this early of if I triggered em (some still couple weeks, some ready 2 weeks ago...) I liked it a little early myself.....and will take it all a little early in all upcoming rounds...(I don't get there often, so, something might be "almost" ready, but, then, I might not get back there for a week and a half, and, really can't rely on partners for when it's "done"......(never have....they let stuff go way to far....)NEToker said:wow..great maroc nug shots...looks like I'll have something to look forward too..in about a month...Cheers!
Do you remember that avi?onthecouch said:Wow Julian, the way you tell, the stories/wisdom is top notch man, Gandolf (lord of the rings)couldnt hold a candle, lol
Tellin ya.......those one piece stainless.....way to go .....(especially with planting late...bigger holes not as much (nearly) of an issue....depends on the soil your working with though....)I was out to dig some spots tonight, and my little fold up ($45) shovel broke in the 2nd pull. Believe that man! Guess tomorrow night I'll take the real deal. It wasnt too dark out there as i thought it might be the other day when I scoped. Still gotta check across the wa-hay abit for more holes.
Honestly?....I don't.....any....at all......(if I see an issue, then I go in and check to see what's appropriate based on problem....)Question time > What do you do for pests/insects when you first put them out? I was thinking a garlic/soap spray.
Don't forget......your not working with start of season conditions (expected growth, time they will be out and draw, etc....if doing time release, could be harvested even before depleted...)Also I've never put some this small outside, how fertile should I make the soil? Ive got basics, 3 bags compost, 1 cow manure, half bale peat, and then a few nutes, should i just mix the compost manure and peat? Maybe come back and top feed some extras if nec/when flower? One more, I slipped and grabbed hydrated lime, not dolomite, is it worth getting the goods? (needs epsom salts also...)
Well, earlier in thread, first couple pages, had pics of them going out later....I do later, again, different from early (ie: earlier larger and more established...) for several reasons....that still apply...Really appreciate any words, I've never planted quite this late and it will indeed be a new experiement. I've got about 30 beans(mandala seeds, nirvanas and some others too), ready to pop through some coir "pellets" and 10 more that I'll drop in compst dixie cups to spring alive. They will probably need to go to Nov 10-20 to finish, which is about 15 days too late imo, but I have a little camera, and when they start to flower I'll bring something by, and we'll see. Big rain supposed to come tomorrow night and sat! Too bad these werent about 36 hrs older, ill stash em.
Keep up the vibrant conversation people,
Edit: I did plant some outside aug 27 before, that is correct, but they were sprouted under floros on Aug 3. But it's always good to know the earth, and the limits of your babies
Yeah...I like one piece stainless ones, rubber wrapped......saw em at wal mart and had to have a couple .....couple bucks.....best ones I ever used....onthecouch said:Ok, maybe Ill just use my gardeners one(what is it a spade?),
Well, depending on soil......can be very quick......(Exactly what I do is above somewhere.....somewhere "stab-twist-nutes-twist-plant-water-cover......"...I do the 16 oz, whole procedure above sometimes in 30 seconds...harder soil.....still would not be that much longer...maybe a minute or two......don't forget, most likely you have a lot of surrounding vegetation, so, total soil replacement is going towards "optimal".....one end of spectrum to other...me? for numbers?.......I go somewhere in the middle....lot depends on your tool(s).....one piece stainless though best you can use for such things....(larger holes, harder soil, I like pitchforks instead of shovels....seems easier and quicker...)cant take more than 3 minutes to dig out a 32oz space(appreciate the 16oz cup reference, very easy to see). And yeah, native soil is heavy clay like, and with small numbers of plants i need to allow for optimal growth, probably use non of the native in the actually dig out spot
Best of and be careful........This is my first semi-urban also, cant wait to see these try and come through.
Well, you could also add more items/ingredients, but, keep in mind final mix and how it will be divided (in handfuls or shovelfuls, etc....)I'll just mix the major three components, until it feels right, then top with a little nutes, water with diluted seaweed, should be simple.
Well.....it is getting a little late.....so.....and, yeah, not going to break out in hairs in a week , so.....but, should end up with something especially if you have done later......(I've really never done this late for the most part.....and usually get them out asap after germ....), but, yeah, the outdoor equivalent to 12/12 from seed essentially......as above...all strain dependent though....all strain dependent...(how quick, finishing times, etc....)Just worried about finishing, especially the mandala kalichakra, mostly because I've never done a STRAIGHT 12/12 grow, I know it can be done, seen some recent threads detailing a straight 12/12, even one with white rhino, which I also happen to have. Its just that these are not 50 day(short) flowering strains, and if it takes 20 days....see...this will definitely be close, but if nothing else, I can always make a lil hash and still get high without calling people right?
Well........your rushin....aren't cha?........(Shhhhhh.....we're supposed to be switching over to more environmentally friendly crystals )onthecouch said:I was just checking forecast, got rain for next 3 days or so, have about 8 beans poppoin through coir, (no signs of a live white rhino yet, this is my first failed germination, but im still holdin out for them) almost couldnt find water crystals today, but now with them, polyacrylamide, hope its the goods, i shouldnt have to water but maybe ionce a month, just in time for a light feeding each month,
Well, have to keep in mind all those are general figures and a baseline for target.......May very well be favorable longer, or shorter, and, of course, as has been discussed before elsewhere.... a single frost may very well not even be an issue....(Many outdoor have had experiences with lower temps....so...single not not necessarily "the end".....what next day is, etc, matters more.....)also, checked the first frost, avg highs and lows of oct, nov, things look promising if its all low key, avg highs in the mid 70s in october, with a following 67 high avg in november, frost NORMALLY after the 15th, just gotta think of where to hang dry now, as my house is unpreferable
Welll.....if your only doing a couple....I assume area and spacing is less of an issue......(ie: you may not have to space tight....) I do 4 per sq./ ft more or less, pre sexed, but, space tight due to location issues, number issues....(sexing thins them out, etc....I put a pic of a couple for illustration recently above somewhere....)how tightly did you say you spaced again?
Glad of help......hope you get things underway quick and all turns out well....(I'd like to know out dates and strains and how they turned out in the end myself for future knowledge....haven't run any Mandala...know all their stuff....fairly reasonable cost wise, but, haven't run any.....)Note- the blueberries dont look like they are gonna pop, not sure if i kept these unwisely for too long, but surely cant wait to get some more mandala genetics, they are all healthy looking coming up quick...what you can, where you can, however you can, Jules is the nike man, just do it
thanks again for some good clean inspiration
cheers

you hold the record for talk and reply!
Are there any relivent pics,what page????
Hopefuly soon!
Not at all man......not my thread man, more yours ....onthecouch said:Not trying to HIGH-jack your thread or anything , just thought I'd update you on my super late grow
See, now you see why I focus heavily on small and late (and keeping an eye...), That's exactly how it happens...(can happen)....when new, sun, heat.........have to watch the moisture.....one day without can be too much (initially)...(and why later as quick/soon as possible)BOMB- yep, looks like a crash and BURN situation. The news said rain , so i let them go 2 days (and a half) without a watering, no rain, and it looks like dried up plants right now , Ill have to check daytime to make sure I didnt overlook anything too small, planted too deep maybe.
Had that happen to me earlier this year (somewhere earlier in thread)....made the run, loaded down and ready to plant, only to get to spot and find out had been all shaved and cut down (middle of city, back of factory....)That was 7 I belive, and then I took another 5 to holes I didnt use last year, and found a construction site had encroached and swallowed my holes!
Such is the ebb and flow biglaugh of spots........yeah, as above...that kind of weather...have to watch em at first....until established....(heavy rain can buy you a little time, watering initially a little time, and, from there, you go day to day until some penetration to them.....Earlier this year they were working a few hundred yards out, but didnt know they were gonna move in. So in a last ditch squeeze found a better place around the corner, funny how the land changes and what is good one year, no good the next, and vice versa of course. Anyway, I tossed them in the smallest hole you could, dug with a stick, as i didnt expect to be diggin. It's over 100 here, never planted in heat like this, intense for sure.
Eh, things happen....such is life or the urban guerillaAnyway, I've nver had this bad of germination rate before either... no white rhinos popped, (first time ive ever had this porlbem with nirvana) only 4 durban posions, 9 kalichakras, and also no blueberry seeds, which could have been quite old. Still...not too good, and the site I had planned for next year just got knocked out of the picture
Time to get to work I guess
None at all......I've always just grown what I wanted to,(when shopping) and, same as many do, as long as finishing times make it viable....Was always my understanding green in itself is a "wild weed" ...and, have always done, and know many who do no maintenance grows.....My larger ones I basically never have watered, ever, same for the most part with all city plots....(Yes, for city, if going might bring some if extended period without rain, and, larger if we are there and on enough on site, but, not something I ever get out of bed to do....)Lies more in them getting established from start....once established, they are good to go...BCSOG said:JULIAN? Just wondering if you ever had experience with wild seeds like malawi gold,is it true that since their "wild" they grow with out being watered?
