OUTDOOR GROWS 2023 -ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE-

[pipeline]

Sparkie got another bird by the way and Leroy ate it again. I'm keeping tally and may have to report my numbers to the state Department of Natural Rescources if they go up much more. Guess we have a high population here with not many natural predators, so we have Sparkie the cat instead.

Sparkie has caught 4 Sparrows and 1 Robin this year!

He can't do that much damage by himself, just a cat. Following their instincts makes animals happy. My dog has an insane drive for hunting, you can tell how happy he is when he comes back after chasing a rat or a rabbit. There's a shine in his eyes, like he just had sex.

He's a crazy motherfucker lol.

I have a wild ass hybrid dog thats a dauschund crossed with wirehair terrier and he used to go hunting and be gone forever, and I would hear him chirping way out in the middle of the corn field. So I call him my corn dog.

He got bit one evening when he was out hunting and has decided to quit doing the wild hunting runs. Although he does go back to camp when he loses track of me on a hike, he's about 14 years old.

Since the word cannabis means "cane" --canna and "2"--bis. Do we need to change the name for all these feminized strains everyone wants to run. Its not really a cane with 2 types anymore, people whittled it down to one type of cane, the pistilate females.

Nevermind i guess, the feminized seeds will never make it past S5 (5th self-pollinated) generation according to Kaleb at Humboldt CSI, he said he heard from Sam the Skunkman I think it was. Feminized seed is a dead-end and would never survive like that in the wild. So cannabis will always be cane of 2 houses. Quite an interesting plant!

What bug powder dust have you been throwing at them?


Speaking of which

 

[pipeline]

Its either that or powdery mildew. Powdery mildew will wipe off when you see it. Looking great, Elitoguay! Flowering out, almost finished on some of those! Looks tastey! What is the smell like on that? Didn't look back, what strain is that?

Looks like diatomaceous earth.

...I promise you that if in response to the pleas before their respective divinity from different forum members for it to rain on me, it is cocaine powder that has fallen, I will certify the miracle and I am now converted... But wait a little before " ring the bells" to investigate what happened, because the last time it rained cocaine was through a Bogota-Madrid one of those IBERIA or AVIANCA that pass me by, and that had to "drop ballast" through my valley before to land...

I'm just kidding with you, of course: it's diatomaceous earth.

Love seeings everyone’s progress.

A little update on the garden from me.
Moved them off of the slumlords car/table and onto the ground, most of them are taller than me. I have a couple that are very tall with skinny sativa type leaves, but they’re already stacking some buds. Really excited to see how they go! Culled a few males, saved some pollen from one exceptionally early flowering male. Gonna chop the two autos next week.

No he’s not kidding..it really is the purest of cocaine raining down from above in response to the pleas of the respective divinities! Truly a miracle indeed!

 

[flower~power]

Everybody always wanted they’re marijuana to deliver that cocaine type of high ….

Sugar cubes stackin'
Per gal is 1 tsp unsulf molasses. 1/16th tsp RAW phosphorus, small pinch epsoms, small dash kelp extract, a thimble of megacrop and fulvic acids. Hope to get em really fat and sweet.

Nah, for that you don't need any miracle, and even less in New York... Just the visits from the training ship of the Spanish Navy, "Juan Sebastián El Cano"...

At least they're eating what they catch. My cat brings it's kills into the kitchen expecting me to saute up some robin breast. One time I almost did, it was beautiful pink meat. Next time I will, if it's still warm and fresh.

I dissuade my cat from killing birds, I have enough rats. It's a rare occurrence, 1 or 2 a year and usually a robin or sparrow fledgling. I figure with the amount of worms and insects I attract to my garden I've fed hundreds and thousands of baby robins and sparrows. Definitely on the plus side.

One time he caught a Stellar's blue jay, I was a little angry and a little proud. They're the smartest of birds, I've seen them playing pranks on cats. They've been nesting in my yard for the last 10 years with just that one fatality. It was a big mature bird, I wonder if it was wounded or if old age caught up to it.

Yesterday morning when I went out to water early there was a big brown rat dying in the driveway. When it saw me it tried to drag itself away. It looked like it had two small holes in it's neck but I can't be sure. The jays were nearby shrieking, I wonder if they were involved. I got the machete and dispatched it. Thought about feeding it to the jays but the way it was flopping around I decided to bury it in case it was poisoned.

I've noticed the birds have been hanging out in a certain spot of my garden. They've gotten used to my presence, today I got close enough to see what they were up to. They've got a dust bath in the middle of my patch.

Years ago I had a very smart cat. One day in the garden I could tell he was excited, wanted to show me something. He led me to a little dust bath he had under the alpine fir tree. I wished I'd been small enough to use it.

In June a friend of mine gave me a nice little Sonoma Coma seedling. I stuck it in a good spot and I like how it looks.

I've been tying over quite a few of my plants. It's surprising how pulling a stalk back past 90 degrees can open up a plant to light. I did that to this Lime Berry Mega.

Otherwise I'd have to do quite a bit of leafing and pruning to get the same effect. Each one of those branches will have good-sized productive colas.

Right next to it my Shishkaberry #3 F2 was getting big, quite a bit taller than the plants behind it. Didn't want it to block out the light to half my garden so I've tied it over. Today I tied it back again so no branch is more than 6 feet tall. It's created a dozen tops that should all be productive. It's hard to tell how big it is from the picture, without the tie over it would be pushing 10 feet tall.

I always favor my volunteers, I really like this one. It has a tall upright structure. I wouldn't want to tie this type of plant over, I guess you could if you had to. It's likely the offspring of a pink pistil Balochi hashplant I had in the same spot last year. I really like the smell, goes from hippy whorehouse reek into a sublime Nag Champa incense smell. It's going to be interesting what components carry over into the flower.

Perhaps one day we will get a forecast for DLI, or at least a roundup of what we did have.

NASA POWER | Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources

Provides solar and meteorological data sets from NASA research for support of renewable energy, building energy efficiency and agricultural needs.

I have only been out a month
My plants have only been out a month. 31 days of rain, it seemed.
The first 2 quarters saw an average DLI of 30, and the next quarter just 20. I think the 4th quarter (bringing us to today) should be about 25 again. When the numbers come in.

A 3rd party used the NASA data, to get that DLI. I can't seem to get any PAR data though. The choice is there, but no records.
No UVA or UVB. No soil moisture.

Got these though

15c @ 83% RH
I have a couple of new spots, to compare to established ones. So I will go back out to see them. Along with the results of this slow release fertiliser trial I'm doing. It's valid information, but failing two years on the trot is a kicker. The weather isn't forecast to get any better, so any weakness and the mold will take them.

Still.. the NASA sites promising, if I can figure why I'm not getting the info this 3rd party can. It's like a worldwide datalogger. I can see images like this one going in my outdoor records. Supporting notes regarding rot issues and progress pics. If everyone could share that sort of info, we could really see which strains liked what conditions, with a good idea when we must offer preventative care. Such as fungicides.
