This Years Grow

[Guest]

Hi everyone.

This isn't my first grow by a long shot but it is my first grow thread. Growing weed is much easier than taking pictures and uploading and all of that, but here it is. You'll hopefully be patient with the photography.
Thanks to Backcountry who showed me the way.

Im growing some old strains and some new ones. I have pictures of some, but will add more shortly. Im in a furry to plant as we are 10" above normal rainfall and Ive been unable to plant more than 12 plants. Others will come.

Strains I have grown before and am growing this year:

Sensi Star
Maple leaf indica
DP White Widow
Aurora Indica
Dr. Atomics Blueberry X Northern Lights.


New Strains Ive never grown;

Cream Caramel
Mandala 1 femms
Sadhu

Manitoba Madness
Gorilla Gold X Congolese
(BreederBrad2 is the breeder of these 2)

Texada Timewarp

Himilayan Gold
Lemon skunk


First, a pic of the country im growin in













The first plant pic is Mandala 1 taken a week or so ago. Its about ready to provide a few clones. It was planted out on 4/25. At the rate it is growing, i project it will finish out around 7 feet. I won't top it since I havent grown it before. I like to know what a strain grows like naturally before I begin to top it.

The second picture is of Himilayan Gold. Its about 20" tall and was planted out on 4/25 as well. This plant is going to get big.




These are cream caramels. They look much better now, and are older. Ill post some newer pics later.

I'll keep an eye on this thread. I'm sure I'll learn a lot. Pictures make me want to go guerilla just for the landscaping alone.

 

[DownDrome]

Nice country you have there, good luck growing some goodness

 

[Guest]

I very like that natural pots from stones made.
Wish you best of growluck this season mate.

 

[luciano28]

Subscribing to this one.

Nice selection of strains you got Silverback and beautiful country to grow in too. Cant wait to see some of those strains in full flower, especially Dr. Atomic's BB XNL and the Sensi Star

Best of luck to you SB and thanks for all the help you have given me, I learned a lot this year from guys like you, Lou, BC, and others. Gotta love the ole internet.

Peace,

Luc

Thanks for the best wishes everyone

Hi supersonic. You talked me into he HG. I hadnt intended to grow AI this year, but last year we had a bad drought which has forced me to smoke some stash. I had 2 jars of AI and Im smoking it now. God its potent. I love northern lights and AI is NL on steroids. For raw knockdown potency, she's hard to beat.

Hey Lou! If you take a close look at that soil, you will see that it has a blackish coloring. I use the same holes year after year and each year I add 3 gallons of compost to each hole. MY holes have become black gold piles. We'll see what effect that has on plant growth over the summer.

Hi Jon. I hoping to learn a lot myself. I learn something each year. Yes, being outdoors in the middle of no where has a value of its own. One of the joys of growing.

Thanks DownDrome. Glad to have you along.

Hi Grunwald. The grade is a little steep so I use the rocks to create a flat spot. I use big flat rocks for mulch sometimes and in areas where there are ground hogs, they cant move the rock to dig up the plants.

Hi luciano28. Im ansxious to see them in flower as well. I put the BBXNL in the category of being grown before. I havent actually grown that one but a friend has grown it for several years and I feel as I know it well. It is god awful potent and finishes early. The sensi star I have grown for years. Its the first strain I consider growing each year. Thanks for stopping by. We'll watch them go to flower.

Im headed out right at this moment to plant 7 more plants. Ive spent the last week getting the plants and everything in place. This morning, alls i have to do is plant and mulch. I'll get some more pics up shortley. My camera needs batteries - I have to get to the store, Later/ sb

k+ silverback, good luck this year
have you given thought to painting them cages? a dark opaque paint would help camo it.
peace!

 

[clydefrog]

Subscribed! Good luck, silverback. Beautiful landscape there. Oh how I envy those of you with water. But I guess the tradeoff is I never see mold in the desert.

Great selection of genetics... I'm esp. interested in seeing how the Maple Leaf Indica does outdoors for you.

Peace- have fun and stay safe. Breath deep the fresh air!

What a lucious ine up. Outstanding grow area. You get my vote in the turf war. Will be following this thread. Like watching dreams come true.

You truly inspire us all. I've put more prep in this year than ever before. And.....many more holes. Had to BUY seeds this year. Ran out of my stash. A pal had been giving me seeds for years and years (varied and unnamed) and he had cerebral hemorrhage 1 month before hitting the big FIVE OH. So based on your smoke report, I got some AI. Can't wait to give it a try.

Good luck to everyone this season.


If we raise our children by example we have no one to blame but ourselves.

 

[Guest]

Hey folks. I cant thank you enough for the best wishes and kind words. We never get enough of that in our lives






A couple more spots i grow in. I have 8 different sites this year.






This is a pic of GG X Congolese and Manitoba madness seedlings. All seedlings look alike really for a week or 2. These were only 5 days old when the pic was taken and the first 3 days were cloudy and then they were beaten into the dirt by rain. So is the life of OD cannabis. This group has been seperated because they were the first to sprout and the first to stand back up after being beaten down - only 5 days old, but this group is showing exceptional vigor.



Assorted seedlings - AI/Dr.A/Sadhu/

Most of these have been planted out into the field. In a few days, Ill try and get current pics posted.

Hey Paz. Thanks. I meant to paint them but they are really in pretty remote spots and I cant imagine anyone finding them. I figure they will rust as I aim to leave them in place for next year.

Hi clydefrog. Its a good place to grow usually. I am going to do some breeding. The White Widow from Dp is perhaps the most gland covered plant I have ever grown. Even the stalks and big fan leaves are covered with resin glands and the plant looks waxy /white from crystal coverage. Its unreal. I intend to fill those resin glands with Maple leaf indica .

Thanks steve green. I hope something I do gives you ideas.

Hi Dignan. You know, I have 2 sites where i have to cross a creek to get to the grow, and I always think of you and BACKCOUNTY when im crossing. I feel blessed.

The Maple leaf is a joy to grow. It is quite drought resistant and hardy. I grow it in any area that has rocky/ poor soil as it does well. It handles heat, wont mould, is pest resistant and ive never had one eaten by a deer. Never.

Hi Lazlo, Thanks. I like being out in the boonies as much as i do growing. Youll like the AI. Its potent as hell.
I don't know what your enviroment is like, but here in mine, i won't top AI. Just like Northern lights, the buds are tight and can mould. Its not bad with just the headbud but topping makes interior branching more complex and mould becomes more difficult to control.

I know this, You've got to be in SHAPE to do an outdoor grow!!!

Crawling out from under a flourishing fertilized thorn bush in the big bad bog deep in a dark dank forest is whipping the hell out of me...

Marching the trail, hauling the soil, sneaking the plants to the site Argh...

I hope I get enough to take next year off hehehe!!!

 

[Guest]

Ulysses, your right on there. Growing has kept me in shape by packing compost and shovels up and down hills and in the dark. Running to get under a tree when the choppers come, dragging trees and brush around. Gorilla growers do lots of huffing and puffing. And then when you get home, you can pick off the ticks.
