Last harvest of my outdoor Red Dwarf (Buddha Seeds) was a grow using at least 75 percent leached & properly aged cow manure from local field. Drainage was perlite... Fin. Supplements were guano, wc's, wood ashes, & coffee grounds. 3.5 gallon buckets x 5, manure tea & worm casting tea were the only liquid ferts used. Diluted I foliar fed everyday BEFORE 11 am. Pulled 5 oz from 5 plants which were all lst'ed. I am a 22 year long herb smoker & I can't stand chem ferts I can always taste that crap in the final product. Feedback would be greatly welcome.
 
1oz per plant is a little on the low end for an outdoor harvest but I am def impressed with the method in wich you grew them I am currently in the process of going all organic making my own compost and harvestinh worm casting from my bin so hats off for that. Do you have any pics of your grow to post and were they healthy the entire time in your cow manure mix?
 
its best imo to put autos OD after the transition phase of after flowering really is somewhat finished for the best results.but transition is best imo,IF you have decently solid conditions or it''ll get shocked and slowed.Autos are generally speaking for ID growing mostly.you can switch that up some but from start to finish imo especially if organic will really lend awesome to starting your few week old plant ID then stick it outside.works for me really well.prep em with an organic systemic pest repellent along with a few simple soil amendments to also aid in pests and vigor of growth. but if you got an oucne a plant from beggining to end in an OD environment imo thats not too terrible man.better than many Ive seen actually.anywho sorry for the ramble,all freshly high n what have ya,

BUT,imo you can get some kelp and alfalfa meal and some powdered molasses and some 5-1-1 fish and some liquid kelp and youll have a solid tea and soil stuffs and can phase out(until flower boosting or similar)the guanos..ive done that long ago and has worked for me very nicely so the PH wont wobble and guanos are easy to mess up and all the other things really will lend for an ease of growthsince you can be at times a bit liberal within the feeding of your plants.but thats my 2 man,hopew that helps you or gives you food for though... and on a side note if your cows are grain fed thats a MASSIVE plus..shrooms lol!! my oldschool is showing lmfao!! anyway,Great Job bud.
 
Fortunately no pests no mold I use uncooked grits to solve my few ant problems. Can't seem to find any of my grow pics save 1 nug shot.. Probably all on my deceased iPad bummer.
 
ofcourse not,if its cooking all that being either consumed and/or repelled and inoculated properly..so thats normal even OD..just worry about tainting it so keeping it covered and turned and building is essential..but yup sounds great man.
