Lovely shots....
Still have to adjust a little even with this screen.... lol
Still a strong wind blowing and around 20 degrees and sunny.
At night a little above 10 degrees.
As you can see at the picture, the Green Ambassador Purpurea is the first little plant of this season that will be ready flowering soon...
She smells nice.
Esben, Charya likes the Teheran Devil very much.
It's a female!!
Gonna make some pictures asap.
Sun is shining, a little over 20 degrees, still a strong wind blowing, but not as strong as the last week.
The plants had a little shock because of the wind.
I hope now the wind is less they will recover a little.
Still 2 or 3 more months to go.
Wish for a hot and long summer..
The Afghan Peace X Purpurea Erdber is a female and the Purple Peace in the bowl also.
Not bad at all. Out of 4 Purple Peace, 1 Green Ambassador X Purpurea and 1 Afghan Peace Peace X Purpurea Erdber, only 1 Purple Peace male.Very nice.
I decided to remove the male Purple Peace, because he was so big, took a lot of space and when I am lucky I still got a couple of seed, because he pollinated some of the preflowering flowers of the other plants.
But it's amazing, just 5 days after the longest day they all showed sex,
I replaced the male Purple Peace for an Amnesia Indica cross.
So I will finaly end up with at least 4 females. Very nice..
How are all the "celebration people" and their seeds doing?
wonderful darpan, love the pp male! also here we had very early sex showing, mostly before the longest day. i gave many of my plants 2 weeks of 12\12 before putting them out and that stunt could be the reason. its so important in small gardens to know sex early. with some strains i first see sex in late august and that is just pain in the ass, especially if its a male that shadowing near by females.
That is often the case with clones.
They are used to grow indoors under lamps.
So the Bio rhytm is totaly different.
If you grow clones outdoors you have to force them to flower earlier, otherwise they start flowering late august and are not finished flowering before the end of october.
IN september and october there is also less sunlight for the flowers to blossom and the temps are colder and september and october rain is more often, so the chance on mold is bigger as well.
The best seeds are the seeds that preflower in june (force flowering clones, by giving light 12/12) and flowering juli, august and september.
To my experience this is the only way (and good fertz ofcourse) to get nice plants and flowers
And even when you have the best and strongest strains there are, if the weather is bad you just have bad luck..
To me that's the sport of growing organicly outdoors.
You see it, you taste it, you smell it and you feel it!!
It's the same as the difference between a strawberry from the glasshouse, or a wild strawberry. They are smaller, but much sweeter and a better taste, less watery...
The earliest harvest ever was end of august, a Green Ambassador.
That's the earliest ever.
You can make strains flower earlier by crossbreeding with an early flowering nice strain, like the Green Ambassador, or the Early Girl, also a potent and tastefull strain Nice to cross with.
Just harvested the Green Ambassador X Purpurea Erdber.
I wanted to let her flower a view days longer, but the bottom of the plant showed first signs of mildew on a leaf, so te be sure I decided to harvest her right away.
A little pretaste soon. She smells nice.
But if seeds flower late it are not to the climate adjusted strains, or seeds from a seed/clone cross, or a clone.
Yes the dang lill harvest is very sweet!!
Summer in the city!!
You must have realy a lot of trouble with the slugs if you put so many big awfull nasty slug shots at this thread.
Makes me almost vomit
I don't like the pics and think that one picture would have been enough to share and show your cruel solution. Killing the homeless.....
I remove every day snails in the morning and at night before goïng to sleep, but throw them into the big bush behind the terrace.
I hope the sun will shine soon for you again my friend.
Nice shots there Esben.
I can imagine how you feel when you are attacked by an army of slugs...
I hope the rain is over my friend.
Hi Karma, that Mirre looks delicious.
Maybe a beach day this summer?
No Karavaan anymore.... they moved out.
The lisences for the Beach Club are auctioned now to the highest bid.
So no space anymore for low profit recreation at the beach anymore.
Profit became the goal now. Quantity over quality of recreation and fun.
The end of funky music and priceworth "high quality" recreation.
Good luck with the PP Karma.
Here the last 5 days the plants had a hard time also.
Lot of strong wind blowing, sun coming and goïng.
Today is nice, almost no wind 22 degrees and sun shining.
The plants are nicely recovering.
I have 4 females now and the Haze didn't show sex yet.
Summer in the city again..... :smile:
Have a nice week folks.
Today is the last day we can smoke in the pubs, reataurants, cofeeshops and public places.
It seems people can still smoke in coffeeshops and public spaces that made a seperate space for smokers, but they can not been served.
They are provided with softdrink machines.
But here also again, the small coffeeshops that can't make a seperate space (and they are many) have a problem.
The Vaporizer is an alternative now and pure weed joints (spliff, the american way).
Peace, G.A.

Man...i think it's a good thing that people can't smoke tobacco in public places. It does so much damage to your health. Pure joints is all we smoke in south America.
And i think it's crime that people wanting to taste marihuana for the first time, and someone passes the jointto him, it comes with tobacco in it!?
By the way...You usually bring your plants inside to avoid mold when weather gets humid.
How are you gonna do that with the haze that is late one...being in the wooden box??
I am a tobacco smoker myself and I agree it's not healthy, but I think people should decide themselves they smoke or not.
I don't like people forcing things on others because they don't like.
You can't force someone to heaven, he will choose hell....
This local coffeeshop has the solution already.
They made 2 seperate spaces now.
A smaller space with bar and non smoking area and a large area behind a glass wall with smoking area, pool biljart area and internet area.
The only thing is that personell can not serve you there.
You have to get your drink yourself at the bar in the non smoking area.
I can't carry that plant inside Kayaman, the only thing I can do is pray to the weather gods.... lol
It's great weather at the moment.
Almost no wind, 26 degrees and sunny.
Forecast for tomorrow 28!! ppppffff....
The plants are recovering very fast now.
The ladies are bathing in the sun...
When the ladies are happy, G.A. is happy.... :smile:
Hello,
Darpan, i got your point but what i'm stating is, that those who smoke for the first time aren't warned that there's tobacco, so they are choosing to smoke herb, not choosing to smoke nicotine, they just smoke it, and when smoking joints becomes more frequent, the person has the need for nicotine, so, when they try a cigarette,they got hooked for its physical addiction. Just my point of view.
Stay cool
