Live Stoner Chat The 2024 Auto-Photo Outdoor Competition!

[iampepe]

Looking great @iampepe such a beautiful sight seeing them growing under the sun!
A rare sight in the UK as it is a small island, which is densely populated.
There are estimated to be 1000-3000 Guerrilla growers in the UK out of a population of 67 million according to and article in Vice Magazine!
We are a rare breed.
That reminds me, I need to get my skates on I haven't even dropped my beans yet!
As soon as substrate mixing is done they will get dropped!

Wow that isnt many growers. Thinking about it, I only knew of one other person that grew outdoors. We ended partnering up and helping each other during the 2000's-10's. We'd drop each other off and used a 2 way radio to get picked up. We mushroom hunted together too, sadly he passed away a couple of years ago.
Get those beans going bro

So awesome you found someone to buddy up with!
With so few OD growers, that is something I may never find!
So sad he passed!
I love going mushroom picking and have gone with others but most of the time people are too lazy, to get of of there arses.
I don't drive and I get public transport as far as I can and then have to walk who knows how many miles.
Different plots different distances to travel.
After snipping with a pair of secateurs I then cleaned it up with a hand rake (bent over double).


They say "where there is a will, there is a way" I think, through my efforts, I embody that philosophy.
The ground is heavy clay, that is the only thing you can't tell from google earth.
The site is perfect, the ground not so much!
Next visit, I am packing in buffered coco to go with the coco already there,
Perlite and vermiculite will further improve the airyness of the clay & coco mix!
As soon as the Super Natural Seeds arrive, which shouldn't take long as they are a UK company, I will drop all 18 strains!

Tsk tsk tsk!
When will it ever end LMAO?
I just won 5 x Banana Purple Punch Auto by Fastbuds in a comp from @The Vault
Which now takes me to a 19 plant guerrilla grow from the original 15!
The new Comers are as follows

1. Orange Bubblegum auto - Twisted Tree
2. Cosmic Cupcake auto - Super Natural Seeds
3. Galactic Grape auto - Super Natural Seeds
4. Banana Purple Punch auto - Fast buds
5. Hindu Kush auto - Weed Seeds Express

The Hindu Kush has been added to make it a nice round 20 plants, double my last outing in 2022.
I recent;u had some American Import, Hindu Kush and it was so tasty, I thought it would be nice to make up the numbers.
Now I have to go buy more grow bags!

I've got a good amount of variety this year going on out in the garden, it's going to be a tasty fall!

 

[MasonJarOG]

Had another green crack dampen off… I’ll pick another auto to run outside. Obviously GC wants to be in a safe ️

The rest you guys are off to a great start!

 

[Dr Fluff]

They seek him here,
They seek him there,
They seek him on the land and in the air,
They seek him everywhere!

Is he real or just a myth?
Does he look like Elvis with a quiff?
I don't know, I just can't say,
Legend says, you only see him on a Saturday!

All I know is, he likes a toke,
Blowing huge clouds of herbal smoke,
So if you feel a tingling in your nose,
It may be a sign, he's looking at your outdoor grows!


If you look at the size comparison to a human, he is a husky mofo!

@Waira thanks for the rep!

No thanks necessary brother, I know you love the attention!
Not only does waira mean a big dino sloth and a shinto shrine protector it also means "strong wind" when used as a islamic name... who knew huh?
Your lucky number is 5, I kid you not!

Getting even, well I guess that's me sunk in this competition, they do say never poop on your own door step!

In recent times the name arty zan is synonymous with "Banana Purple Punch" I guess it relates to my martial art style as in "Don't mess with arty or he'll give you a "banana purple punch"!. That seems a bit unfair though, as a I am a pacifist and would never punch anyone with my purple banana, unless they asked nicely!!

All jokes aside though, I won me some seeds (OK laugh your arse of now at my 13th dan seed hording skillz) and as you might have guessed they are "Banana Purple Punch Auto seeds" from fast buds.

So I am up to 20 strains (an increase of 25%) in this grow and now I am worried my crop may be too big to handle/dry/process!
I've only got a 2' x 2' tent and it won't hold much!
If it does get too big, then there is only one option and that is to make hash!
I didn't want to buy any more stuff for this grow but I guess I ought to go look at bubble bags, now!



I'm of for my cream tea now. scones, clotted cream & jam, in that order, with a pot of tea, mind!
After all I'm not sodding Cornish, we laugh at them from where I am because they put the jam on first, then the cream, I mean why would you?!
Those cousin Jacks don't know what side their scone be creamed!
It's been a long old day, so I'm off down the beach (nice and sandy, not all rocky like in Cornwall LMAO), to watch the sun go down and smoke a number, I got to make the best of it now before the grockles turn for the summer holidays en masse, in a couple of weeks time! (Covid is over, so you can go to Spain now)!

Who knows I might even see the "Green flash" just as the sun disappears over the horizon!

Another week gone by. Started some autos today

happy campers there Pepe! ... y'all got my photo' thumbs itching big time -
...it's almost time for me to get going on that. Sunday, a little road trip to get soil then mix up my KIS amendment and start cookin'!
In a week, start hatching the photo girls

Current plan is:
- Burmese Pure
- Collins Ave
- NevLimeWhite (NevLime parent ran 2 seasons ago, now crossed with The White; private breeder)
- FireMoBA5T x C99a ( FireOG x Maines Own Blueberry x A5 (Haze,ACE)Thai); private breeder
- NYCD x Headbanger (private breeder)
- Lavender/Mixed Purp's x C99a (ditto)
- Melon Madness (Jean-O)
- either Mango Sapphire (HSO) or GhostMaverick x 3BOG; the latter is Meph' auto

I'm pushing it with this many, so not set in stone just yet...
The BP and Ghost' were made by a mate in EU, selected for that climate; (BP originally made by Reeferman). Same cat that made the UEL'Sativa' I ran last year - ...Ghost' will be a bit tricky, might even "auto" on me? Maverick is derived from a cross with auto in it, but selected for fast blooming not auto'ing... Any time you have this combo + F1 gen' there's no telling what she'll do... I'm hoping for a smaller very fast hair-triggering bloomer. I'm very tempted to run the MS regardless, also fast and I want a heavy Indi' in the line-up...

NevLmWht and NYCD x HB came from a mate in Aussieland,... He repro'ed Collins too...
FMA5T x C99a is another custom mash-up; FireMoB is a great cross, paired with an awesomely well made A5T and then crossed with the C99a made by the same guy who made the FMoB, to speed her up...

Tsk tsk tsk!
When will it ever end LMAO?

That is too damn funny RT, to win more seeds at this point is comedy of the absurd!
Of course, 19 simply must be rounded up....

Whatever creative mused possessed you when making up that very amusing Waira blip gets a gold star! Cheers for that -

- love these choices Jean, your gear always shines too! That NL5 is of particular interest to me, having somehow not run this honorable ancestor yet... Finding a proper authentic version is not easy in a sea of choices out there...

So awesome you found someone to buddy up with!
With so few OD growers, that is something I may never find!
So sad he passed!
I love going mushroom picking and have gone with others but most of the time people are too lazy, to get of of there arses.
I don't drive and I get public transport as far as I can and then have to walk who knows how many miles.
Different plots different distances to travel.
Clearing the plot would be a damn site easier with two people and the ability to get proper sized tools in!
After snipping 30sqr meter (approx) with a pair of secateurs I then cleaned it up with a hand rake (bent over double).

View attachment 1685264
Just like this one 15" long!
I have a 20 liter and a 70 liter backpack, neither of which would fit a fit a full sized fork, spade or rake.
Most of my tools fit into the 20 liter pack, which is why I had to cut down the long handle pruners.
They say "where there is a will, there is a way" I think, through my efforts, I embody that philosophy.
When I am next at the plot, I will do more heavy lifting with a foldable spade,
View attachment 1685265
I will put down some plastic sheeting and dig on my knees! It's not like I'm a glutton for punishment.......much lmao!
Going to the plot, I can't have anyone see me walking with tools, everything stays hidden!
The ground is heavy clay, that is the only thing you can't tell from google earth.
The site is perfect, the ground not so much!
Next visit, I am packing in 150 liters of buffered coco to go with the 12 bricks of coco already there,
Perlite and vermiculite will further improve the airyness of the clay & coco mix!
As soon as the Super Natural Seeds arrive, which shouldn't take long as they are a UK company, I will drop all 18 strains!

You sir are dedicated to the cause. Props to you!
