Two heads,
Your pictures are always great. I really like the last one you posted with the colors of the evening sky.
After seeing your success with containers in the wilds,and my test patch in my garden, I'm going to try some in my guerrilla next year.

Nice Two Heads, as always.
My grows tend to be thematic. In my bog buckets this year I am soon taking in a mostly Danish grow with Esbe's creations...
Erdpurt X Afghani
Greener Erdpurt
Arne's Mighty Haze
Timewarp
Arne's Cheese
Biddy's Sister
+ a few femmed freebies.

One more thing, and sorry for the double post...
Years ago you two heads had a pack of Emery Outdoor mix; I still have a pack of this in my vault. You'll recall that they were, in your words, "mostly forgettable indicas," but you had that cool plant that shot magenta hairs. I assume this is part of your deal now...
I thought of this yesterday...I made a seed crop of Esbe's afghani X Erdpurt, and one of those girls has bright magenta hairs...I also crossed this to Timewarp...I will let you know next year how th

Jeff (aka oldsterone) - wow, good memory! Indeed that is the source of Baby's Breath. Check post #39 in this thread for more of the story. Also, check post #75 - Esbe got some of the Baby's Breath Seed Project seeds a few years back and recently told me the hybrids are still alive. Perhaps that's what you are seeing. Anyway, nice to hear from you again oldster!
Up next - back to the swamp!
Up next - back to the swamp!
Last swamp visit?
Last swamp visit?
After finding a few top-heavy plants needing support in the cedars we thought a visit to the swamp might be in order so I went in last Friday (September 9). I also brought slug bait (which I dispersed) and my homemade Greencure (which I did not use - there wasn't a speck of mold!) I did find one plant laying down over the weight of it's buds - this top was the culprit:
I jammed a large dead branch into the swamp muck and tied the plant to it. Problem solved!
I tied off one other plant that looked like it might lean down under the weight of it's buds but everything else looked real strong and sturdy. This will be the last visit before harvest so I took lots of photos in case it's too dark at harvest time. Here's a bunch of shots from the garden:
Totes 5 & 6:
A sea of bud:
Tote #4 with it's late flowering clone is well into it now but it will October before it comes in:
It's hard to get all 6 totes in one pic but this is how the garden looks as I leave our lovely swamp meadow:
It's been a great year in the swamp (and the cedars for that matter) so now it's just a matter of being patient till harvest day. Up next - bud shots from the swamp!

September 9 swamp buds
September 9 swamp buds
I got a few good bud shots (and a lot of bad ones) in the light of the setting sun on my last swamp visit. The magenta pheno is well represented here:
I liked this branch so much I shot it twice!
There's a nice sativa pheno here with a lovely aroma:
...and a nice white hair reaching for the sky:
So close now - happy harvest everyone!

Thanks for the update.
Those pink pistils are electric. The buds look peppered with lavender from the pic with the whole plant. Looks closely related to the 'favorite pheno' on the first page. Some good genetics in them beans you made. Really nice, man. You should be proud. Keep that line going strong!
What are your lows/high temperature averages about now in your area?
Do you think the coloring in that strain is strictly genetic? Or a combination of temperature with genetics?
Ever try that indoors for a control run?

Two Heads you guys are kicking my bog butt. I have nice plants, but not this nice. Can you remind me of your setup? I too am in the wet; I enlist seven gallon buckets, and they sit in about one inch of water. Is that too much? Are yours in water, or just moist peaty soil?
And I am too lazy to adjust for PH, and of course that water must be too acidic, but if I do adjust, how much lime do I throw under the bucket next year?
Remember some of the nuts that used to be on Overgrow back in the day? Donald Trump posting pictures of his girlfriend with his plants? Northern Dude, Captain Skunk, Stoner 133. And Sasquatch, who grows like we do out in tamarack peat bogs...that guy might be in the pokey.
Any advice is much appreciated, you Two Heads are still teaching me.

Hey two heads,
A fellow Osmokote user here. I've got 4 Sour Cindy's in a Promix HP, EWC, perlite, blood, bone and Osmokote mix. Easy peasy.
Your two site are looking magnificient. Should be a nice harvest.
Cheers

Thanks everyone, especially festivus, who generously gifted the Sugar Cane Train monsters we have in the cedars. Check them out at House of Love seeds.
IeatCubes - we are safe from frosts here till late September/early October. It's getting down to 8-9 at night (46 - 48 F) and today is going up to 27 (80F). Perfect budding weather! The original Baby's Breath clone was grown indoors by a friend for a few years. I think of it as an outdoor plant though. It only grows pink pistils nearest the light indoors. It seems to need that intense UV only the sun can provide. The colouring is genetic though. Outdoors a pink plant is pink right from the first pistils. This is from the first week of July:

Jeff - Thanks for the memories. I particularly remember Stoner133. I still think of him as my mentor for sharing knowledge on the forums here. We have two sites this year. The cedars site has seven garbage pails (about 15 gallons each?). Four have full size plants, one with festivus' Sugar Cane Train - the other three are smaller Bubba Kush clones we planted late after a med-friend went over his limit and needed to find homes for some clones. The SCT and Bubbas will come down in October. Of more interest to you is our swamp site which we have been using since the Overgrow days. This year we hauled in new ProMix, Osmocote and Aquasorb and that is the main reason for our success this year. We too didn't pay attention to pH and suffered from steadily decreasing yields for the last few years. Fresh ProMix means fresh lime and balanced soil. We hauled 2 bales, which was enough to fill 6 Rubbermaid totes (again about 15 gallons each). It's not easy getting two bales into the heart of the swamp but it has been worth all the effort! From now on we will lime every fall (apparently that's the time to do it). I'm not sure about quantity but a fistful per tote will probably do it. And we'll lime the tote itself, not under where it may be lost to the swamp. That, plus fresh fertilizer (Osmocote or compost) means we should be able to make those bales last many years. We figure a harvest of 0.5 - 1.0 oz. per gallon of soil when all is healthy and balanced (1/2 pound - 1 pound per tote). It looks like this year we'll meet at least the low end of that target.

Sarge - I agree. I don't know why Osmocote gets a bad rap. Sure it's not organic but it is time/temperature release and never burns plants. Perfect for an unattended out door grow. And unattended is much less likely to be ripped off!
Good luck with your HOL grow!
