OUTDOOR GROWS 2024 ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE-

Awesome so you can grow basically everything then.
Can you sneak and a second season in?
I tried this 36S didn’t work so well for me
I can get 3 grows in during a year if i use lights. February starts come out starting in March/April outdoor lights to veg a little bit, lights off, harvest early before summer heat.
Then june 20th normal grow season with croptober varietals...and somewhere in late summer i start a third crop, with lights keeping them in veg till i finally let them have their 2 months to flower...if i time them right I'm trimming plants xmas week..
Maybe a New Years harvest but that's pushing it and always the end of the fun that week.
I agree completely,I HATE DST,dread darkness at 4:45 pm,it's depressing and zaps the drive to accomplish anything IMO. Also longest day of light darkness at 8:45 is TOO much also,leave the clocks alone I'm fine w.the shortest day darkness at 5:45 and the longest day darkness at 7:45 PERFECT.Yeah everyone has trouble adjusting to it.
Daylight saving time is used for more months of the year than "Standard" time. Try and figure that one out. I like it helps keep me on schedule, but I used to like Standard, which is closer to the times that I do things and my biological rhythm. Time is a measurement. Its like calling a football field 90 yards instead of 100 for one game, then later in the year the 100 yard field is considered to be 110 yards. The distance is always the same, the paint just gets changed.
Measurement of time should never change.

Hey everyone, l hope you’re Christmas is shaping up well.
Here’s the carrot patch plant. It’s the only one in the garden that’s hardly grown; it’s looking a lot happier and it’s still a touch over 900mm, or three feet.
The other plants are cranking it out and most of them are 800mm tall, this means they’ve been growing close to an inch a day but I’m hoping to push this to one and a half to two even next month.
The odd few have reached the magic meter mark. In my experience a massive plant needs to be around one meter at the beginning of December to end up 12 plus feet. I think the biggest one I’ve ever grown was a Blueberry Headband from HSO and that ended up about 15 feet with buds as big as my head all over it half way through April.
The Blackdog girls this year ,will hopefully, end up about 8 feet tall and eight to ten feet across which for me is a very manageable size.
And finally a close up picture of one of the girls. I saw some pistil development and had a closer look to check it wasn’t going into flower. On close inspection I’d say it’s just an unusually prolific pre-flowering and there’s nothing to worry about because of the staggered lateral development, up the stem and the node spacing’s far enough apart to tell me she’s in vegetative growth.
Cheers,

Hey everyone,
l really hope today’s going well for you ….it is one of those days that can go either way.
Here’s a couple of pictures from the garden today.
Biggest Blackdog just hit 1.2 meters, or four feet
And the smallest one,800 mm or two and two thirds feet tall. I’ve got three, multiple leader plants this year, all with three leaders each. I used to do this when growing tomatoes, to reduce the height of big plants and make them a bit more manageable. I did this by tipping early and tying the growing leader to a support that’s out on a 45 degree angle.
I’m doing this to see how a plant structured like this will yield. I do prefer one main leader because the stem won’t split like it will if two or more growing leaders attach at one point; so I’ll have to secure them properly to the cage.
And even if you cut the bottom out of pete pellets and allow a tap root to go down, into a pot or directly into the growing media, the lateral supporting roots, for the plant, still get strangled and the natural development retarded.
I grew these Radiation Exposures, from seed and got them from Rebel Grown l had to put them in full term because l had some late cloning issues and had these as backups. Yet another example of why it’s very important to support your plants properly from the start.
Have a good one, everyone and remember, “if you can keep your head while all around are loosing their’s and blaming it on you”……must be Christmas.
Cheers

Pollen chuck is over, just waiting for the seeds to be ready now
not all buds were hit so there will be some nice bong rips come February.
The studs are spent
pretty relatable, right guys?
we will see what these seeds bringing next 2025's outdoor anything. Great season growers!
