Outdoor 3xMazar & 3xSweetSkunk Balcony

Hi Solomon,
That was a great read, and quite an inspiring grow in that some time ago you averted a potential disaster, and have already harvested some smokeable produce. I've never found the smell of outdoor plants to be that great, but I grow at 55N in a mostly cool and cloudy climate. I think also that, as you found, the smell is only really likely to be bad towards harvest time. I have struggled to get plants to ripen to that stage before succumbing to mould (I'm hoping to do a bit better this year), so I'm happy to get whatever I can.
It is surely better to congratulate yourself for the successful harvest that you have had than to chastise yourself for not keeping the plant, getting busted, and getting no harvest.
I have grown a few Polar Express by Auto Seeds and have found them to have a relatively low odour, of the product as well as the plant, and they seem to grow pretty well for me so far. I've had the odd one which needed to be forced to flower, and I haven't always managed to same level of potency with those I've grown (I don't know if this is variation between them or differences in the growing conditions). I found a few reviews on here suggesting that they would be low odour, which is why I tried them in the first place, and I would get them again, particularly for indoors where smell is more of an issue for me.
I have a Mazar which has been in the greenhouse for about two and a half months now, but it really struggled in the cool weather so it is a long way off harvest, perhaps a month, maybe more. There is no appreciable smell to the buds yet, although they are reasonably well formed now. I expect that the difference is lower temperatures and less sunshine.
:clap:
 
Thx for the tip and your support, so far I've been thinking about Polar Lights (most probably from Pyramid seeds, I've heard they have pretty low smell products) or Blue Mystic from Nirvana for the next year but I'll check Polar Express too.
This year I'm getting back to my youth days crawling in the woods. At least a reason more to get my daughter for a walk in the stroller from time to time :D
I'm really looking forward to smell those Mazars next week (especially because I'm just smoking the last bud from Guinea pig), maybe I was too paranoid after all but who knows... my place is maybe really too busy for grows like that.
Thanks again for your rep, I have to check your grows too... see ya

Hi, today I've planted another one outside, Mazar3 is out there in the big world. I forgot my camera, so I made only one crappy pic of the older one SS2, doing well and not eaten by those deer there so far:

I'll have to plant them all together, coz I haven't found another suitable place, so let's hope nobody will find them. Last one going out this weekend or so.
 
Greetings to all, I thought I'll up after I'll plant the last skunk to the woods (which will be tomorrow most probably) but I can't resist. Today I got the postcard I've been waiting for for a month and I'm super happy. The quality of the pic is terrible but with a bit of imagination you can see those Mazars getting FAT and sexy :drool:. However, they're still healthy green (day 78 and 74 if I count right) so I guess the chopping time will come in 2 weeks (about 9x days) after my lovely gardener returns from holiday. No way getting there sooner, so let's hope it will rain a bit and they'll survive without his care. "Bailers Booya"I've told him to give them the last feed of shit and they'll be "flushed" by natural weather from now on.
See'em yourself, I'm going for some shot to celebrate:

Looking good :tiphat:
 
thx, just comparing them with the last pic i have and they look almost twice as big, guessing they're reaching close to 1m. wow, that compost is a miracle. I should buy a garden in a more out of hand place somewhere (my eng is getting rusty again, since I'm getting drunk today, maybe I'll go babysitting to your place after my own kinds piss me off enough:D) see u and I wish you luck with your mazars too."Bailers Booya"
 
Hi, here we go with some yesterday's news. I've planted last guerilla plant SS3 to the wild. Unfortunately I've found my previously planted girls a bit damaged by some animals there. SS2 survived with almost no scratch but M3 was trampled pretty bad. I've build kind of a fence around'em, however I'm afraid I've chosen some deer or wild boar path..., maybe I'll have to dig another holes a bit further. So far I hope the fence will be enough, planning to check and water them during the week if I'll have an hour to spare. I'm also thinking about getting some dog's hair from my friend's (or getting a haircut myslef:D).
Here's the oldest one, SS2, 29d:

Here's the trampled M3, 22d

And finally her twin, SS3, just planted:

Hopefully they will have time and the weather to grow through any troubles. The cages look like they should do the job, have you tried pissing around the general area as an additional deterrent. I've heard that it can be quite effective against some animals, and at worst will just add a little extra nitrogen to the vicinity of your grow.
 
I was so pissed off I couldn't;) I pissed there of course, that was my first idea to do:) (Not on the plants of course.) Next time I'll shave I'll bring my hair or even shit there too, anything for my babies:D
 
Hi again, yesterday after work I went to see my girls just to see what those beasts out there have done. It was raining finally after about 3 weeks, so they got a bit more water than usually which should be good for them. The fence seems to work, but I'll get some hair for the next time too.
Mazar 3 is recovering (day 27):

Sweet skunk 3 (27) seems ok too, but I can see some yellow leaves there. Next time I have to bring some food:

Sweet skunk 2 is looking a bit yellow and she's already in bloom even if she's only 34 days old and not very big. Maybe it's because of the shock from all the replanting, drought and what else. I'll have to feed her too next time, but I don't expect much from her as u can see (sorry for the focus, I have a new camera and I was in a hurry because of rain...):
