Live Stoner Chat The '25 Outdoor Auto-Photo Competition!

[iampepe]

@Waira Update on the Steel Roots auto which finished up this weekend. I noticed this wild growth after I harvested it but a quarter of the plant grew entirely different and was still green and healthy at harvest. Different leaf form and flower formation. Anyways it smells great like a soft linen grape haze. It handled rather well outdoors in the greenhouse, I only spotted one tiny bit of BR. Definitely stoked to check it out soon, I love fresh outdoor bud!

I like how she finished fading in the purps.

A few pics of the Crazy Kush stacking it's football bats. This thing is pretty leafy except for its major stacked with bud as well. More defoliation to come, she is extremely loud with gas citric skunky goodness. This has been a fun project from pairing the Dinafem Quick Kush x Sweet Seeds FV Green Poison. I just hit a pheno of it in my photo breeding cab with the Sour Bubble X Apple Fritter hopeing to stabilize the EV traits. She's a bit light finicky.View attachment 1755724View attachment 1755725

I have 4 of an f1 cross that look the same. Way more leafy than either parent. I'm not a 'fan' of the leafy ones. We'll see how they finish, I may change my mind. I'll snap a picture.

Grape Kush's
I'm going to start harvesting them tomorrow. Septoria is ravaging the leaves pretty fast.

This is just an observational thought but the FVs that are leafy both went through a reveg on me this spring, and are just shooting 1 and 3 lingered leafs everywhere from earlier bud sites. This also possibly changed the original morphology of the plant due to monster cropping basically. At least with the ones I have going.

I think u were already using it but captain jacks copper fungicide worked good for me this year so far against the septoria. I also moved my tomato plants which is where it seemed to always start then work towards my canna plants. I also sprayed the surrounding trees with the CF to try n mitigate it around the garden. Michigan seems to have a great environment for septoria...

From a couple of days ago.
Transplant obviously went well.
Now a typhoon is passing through, though.
Will try to check on them tomorrow.

Yeah I've seen that plenty of times from reveging. I have a clone that went into reveg when I put it out in may, its still kicking off 3 fingers leaves. I dont know why as I the light time indoors was the same as the outdoors when I transplanted.

2 of these "70's girls" have 3 fingers too coming out of bud sites, so I assume its the same deal as yours. Reveged and never got out of it while building flowers.

Yes, I sprayed till a couple weeks into flowering then stopped. It doesnt take to long for it to spread.

Grape Kush's are hanging.

They now call me "Sticky fingers".

Hella Jelly backdrop with a cucumber plant growing through it that Willow wants bred into an auto. I pulled some clones off of her and plan to cross it to Sugar Cube. I did some digging, I think Humboldt is making an auto out of it too. Maybe we'll have a grow off in a couple years.

Happy Growing!

Effects of a typhoon that was all wind, no rain,
and five+ days without watering.

Miss Volunteer obviously hit fairly hard,
and the young Hazes look just fine.

I did a little essential oil spray again.
In the full sun.
And crazy wind.
Throw all the stresses at once, I figure.
I can't make it to always spray at dusk regularly in a guerilla grow.
Not possible.

Photos except the last one are when I arrived, before watering.
I watered fairly heavily, slower and small pours.
I used one of the drying laundry bags as a filter over the bucket,
because the pond has a lot of green algae on it these days.
The filter worked quite well, and also made the pour gentler on the medium.

Miss Volunteer also originally had a minor spider mite infestation,
and was looking a bit hungry for N as well.
I did feed with the organic 3-5-5, plus some mycco, higher PK & Ca chicken poop, a dash of dolomite lime, and maybe something in there (kelp powder?)
Though that will obviously take a little time to take effect.
I therefore might make a small batch of Jacks to bring to her.
At least pick up that yellowing from the low N.

She leans south into the sun, like last year.
And then the winds are pushing from the east.
So I have now moved the whole pot 180 degrees.
I've turned her around a couple of times.
Keeps her growing upright more, than flopping to the south.

Quite a nasty hit on this girl.
But we still have a fair bit of time in flower.
Just got to hope no other major incidents.

Meanwhile, these little hazes also just show why the best season here is like June/July or so through to Dec/Jan.
Like last year, the bigger plants get hit very hard by the typhoons and winds.
But the smaller plants are too little to worry.

Happy little Hazes in the sun!
They've been out for a week now, give or take a day.
The two older ones are showing seventh node at the top.
The lower nodes are showing nice signs of secondary growth now too.
I think their earlier small pots helped keeping them tight up to this point.

I thought about topping them.
But there are already three in this pot, and bushy plants will crowd together even more.
They are also leaning south.
One option would be to just gently tie the two older ones back to their corners in the north.
That would open them right up, and those secondaries would just take off, guarantee it.
Though I don't want to tie through that polystyrene box, too fragile already.
So I just ended up 180 degreeing this pot, too.

Another shot after adding the fertilizer and watering, and turning her about face.

These little hazes didn't budge in that typhoon at all.
Mostly because they're small, not necessarily because they're hazes.

Whatever I grow here has to be able to adapt to conditions.
This was a good test.
Live and learn.

Who needs to leaf strip in early flowering when you have typhoons?
