The title isn't a joke...(ok, it kinda is...or a bad attempt at being witty...anyway...). I see what some of you guys are doing and I'm nowhere near able to do what you do. Much respect to the growers I've seen here on IC mag who do it right year after year. You guys are truly talented.
Anyway, despite the limitations on what I can do, I can't help but try to grow out what I can every year. This year, I have 4 Nevil's Haze from Shanti, 2 Apple Pie from Reeferman, 1 OGR White Fire Alien, and a small clone of some seed I made last year (Love Potion #1 x Nev's Haze). Most of those are in 20 gallon smart pots filled with a mixture of Vermifire and EWC.
I started the above seeds indoors, transplanted then moved them outside around the first week of June. The Apple Pies got beat to shit and sunburned, but more on that later...
I had some Reeferman Cherry Bomb Indica from seed that I bought a while back and decided to toss some just to see what I got. The last time I tried to grow it out, I got some plants that looked totally different from each other....so I didn't know wtf to expect.
It grew short and squat with really long leaf stems...healthy, but kinda weird looking. I was going to try to finish it inside, but I needed the space. Thought about culling it, but figured what the heck, stuck her in a 3 gallon smart pot with straight coco, and put her outside in the sunshine.
Here she is a week or so before going outside....
Here she is about a month later...
Here she is today...
Some leaf tip burn, but not too bad. Trich coverage is so-so, but the buds are very dense with a very pronounced sweet smell. Recently, due to the increased day length, she's been trying to reveg and I wasn't sure how I was going to set up a light dep for one plant. I knew this was going to be an issue, but I figured I'd come up with a solution eventually.
That type of behavior is called Serial Procrastination. Not a good character trait, lol....
Can't put it in the house...stinks too bad. Indoor space is occupied anyway and I'm not going to be moving a plant every day.
I helped my buddy move recently and I remembered he had one of those big ass cardboard wardrobe boxes leftover...which got me to thinking.
I basically light proofed the box and I stick it on top of the plant every day around 4pm. I take it off around 7am the next day. There are some flaps on the box and I put bricks on those to keep them in place if it's windy. Since it's on a flat surface and the plant only gets morning and mid day sun, I think it might just work.
I got more pics and info to share on the other plants I'm growing which I will try to post later today.
