Outdoor Crow's GG at 56ºN

[Crow River]

Visited the Auto Ducks again, did some more light defoliation. They are pretty much ready, a few white pistils still at the very tops of the main colas, but otherwise done. Still on for chop at the weekend, maybe will take uppers and leave lowers a bit longer.

The Freakshow Autos are getting taller, I see two distinct phenos too.

Was supposed to go to the Bramble plot, but ran out of time before sunset. Will have to get down there with some water very soon, warmer weather arriving this weekend and no rain forecast for about a week...

I did manage to visit the Auto Ducks again. Gave them a good drink, removed some fading and damaged leaves, the usual drill. These girls are definitely ready for chop, that will be done next visit, in a couple of days' time.

The Freakshow Autos are stretching for sure, top buds starting to get a bit denser. Gave them some water, will feed next visit.

Yesterday I harvested the main colas of both Auto Ducks. Fairly impressive size, it must be said. I left the lowers to cook some more, they'll be chopped in a couple of days.

I also took water to the Bramble plot. It's been nearly a week since last visit, I really should have gone earlier. Some of the photoperiod plants were badly affected by drought. All the autos were fine. Anyway, I gave all the plants a drink.

I checked over the autos with a magnifying glass to see which were ready to chop. I took the main cola of the Super Kush Auto. I will leave the others that are ready to cook some more.

I've not had any wildlife problems this season, until now. It seems the Purple Moon Rocks was munched, I presume a rabbit pushed through the chicken wire. Maybe I planted it a bit too close to the boundary. A shame, but that's life. It's still alive, well see if it recovers or not.

I'll be heading back to the Bramble plot in a couple of days to harvest those autos which are ready, so will take more water with me then.

Some familiar looking bud there lol .
That crystal meth is all purple flowers indoor to . I like the mazar , noice

 

[Crow River]

@Sawney_bean yeah, your creations are doing well. Skywalker has been quite impressive outdoors, and Small Lecter a consistently reliable strain, grew it in 2023 too. The warm, dry weather has helped a lot.

That Mazar has taken its time to ripen buds, but those purples, reds, oranges are a wonderful show.

It's good to see some outdoor here in the poor weather. You are a better man than aye.
I gave up after 3 years outdoor. Hats and pants off to ya mate

 

[Crow River]

@Sawney_bean Well, it's been an exceptional summer. So warm and dry for so long. Not normal for these parts!

 

[Sawney_bean]

I hope you get a good harvest mate.

I hope you get a good harvest mate.

Cheers man. Already had a bumper harvest from the Ducks, Bubblelicious, and a few of your strains like LSD, Crystal Meth, Purple Moon Rocks. Mazar and Small Lecter will be chopped this week before the rain finally arrives. Possibly the Super Kush and oldest Skywalker as well. The two wee runts (Zaphod Skywalker and Little Super Kush) might get chopped too, or might wait a few days - don't want them to get too wet though.

We have started having some rain. Mostly showers, but fairly heavy today and more on the way for the rest of the week. So I made the decision to chop the Auto Duck lowers. They were mostly fully cooked, just a few at the very bottom could have done with a bit longer. Pretty decent yield, about the same as several smaller autos...

Just the Freakshow Autos left at that site now. I repositioned them where the Auto Ducks used to be so they get some more of whatever sunshine there is over the next few weeks.

I also went to the Bramble plot. My focus for this visit was the first and second wave autos. They were all ready for chop. I could maybe have left the Skywalker, little Super Kush and Zaphod Skywalker to cook for longer. However given the weather forecast, I decided it was better to chop them along with the extremely well cooked Mazar, Super Kush and Small Lecter.

Just seven autos left at the Bramble plot now. Four Santa Marta, and one each of LSD, Skywalker, Crystal Meth. There's also the munched Purple Moon Rocks, which seems to be starting to grow back. Airflow should be no problem, and while they are all in flower, they're still in the earlier stages so hopefully the rain won't affect them too badly.

Now that the weather is wet, I'll not be back here for at least a week.I will probably come back at some point soon to pick brambles, but the plants should be okay to look after themselves for a while...
