Outdoor Waira's '18 Mixed Bag of Tricks Combo Grow

[Waira]

~~~{{{ Update Time }}}~~~

​

..... lost the last one! Oh well, it was about time to go to night pic's anyway,....
Photo's are coming along OK, and now we're finally getting better weather. Little change in the behavior and fan fading of the girls, feeding as much as I dare, according to the leaf tips,...
C+2.0 is waaaay fast, she'll be done before months end for sure! But the down side is the bud is not at all the dense high bud:leaf ratio i was expecting,.. dunno if it was a nutrition prob, crap weather prob, sucky pheno,..or a combo......most likely! MoB is filling in better,... 11 Roses bud formation looks good, but buds/yields will be under par.. also noted the aroma is weak so far, not a good sign when compared to others results makes me pissed! No good reason for that happening, so fingers crossed that corrects as I shove the key nutes in! ODGF is looking the best hands down, and building fast ... I just hope the buds are good as expected!
Meantime, the new auto's are coming along nicely,... They are in GBD's soil amendment, getting the usual supp's,.... I swapped out the dual DIY conversion COB unit for the Platinum P300 that came to me as a "refugee"- .... and an AutoCOB as well,... .... Strains are Fugue State, 3 BearsOG, and @Ronin Bum Wine,... two now actually, one germ' was initially shaky so I started another,.. she emerged fine though, so I'm debating to keep or adopt her out,...


>> 11 Roses

>>> C+2.0

>>> Outdoor Grapefruit

>>> MoB

 

[Waira]

>>> Sex Bud... looking better for buds! But still crazy sensitive to nutes, I overdid it again,.. I swear, I just wave the bucket at her and the leaves curl ...... she's had hardly anything...

>>> tent girls, about 12 days for the oldest...

:smoking: Mongol mate, I think the smaller pot size really hampered 11R for lateral expansion, as it did with all but GF. Skelly sure doesn't have that problem, but then he tops and trains like crazy!.... I'm not exaggerating, this year's grow is overall pretty lame, worst I've had to date,... I have never had a plant do what C+2.0 is doing, not even the KindSoil test ones that had major P defc. show at the worst time,... In fact after a very close look, C+ is going to be a waste of time, hash material only... the buds are so leafy they will be sub-par smoke no matter what the resin is like,... I'm not just gutted, I'm fucking pissed! I knew well the problem with MegaCrop's high N for bloom, and started using low-to-no Nitrogen PK boosters in plenty of time,... but all started eating fans early, and even feeding to mild tip burn didn't seem to correct things much over the following weeks,... The only unifying link to them all is MC, and the cooler foggy weather vs. the last place (not that much worse either)... only GF seems to be doing well enough IMO,.. MoB hasn't set good bud, and I know MoB very well,.. 11 Roses was the champ right up to bloom, then she started going downhill, and now will be disappointing as well,... Sex Bud is a total mutie,. so I leave her out of this part of the mess,... So, I strongly doubt I got "dud pheno's" in both 11 Roses and C+2.0, but it's possible... I'm fucking stumped, I didn't choose to run MC lightly after all the grows I saw with good results...... My best guess is it was a combo of things that made this run suck butt-wind like it has,.. and I still have to get through mold season! C+ will be done by then at least,... As for MC, I'm unlikely to ever use it again, or limit it to veg' only... If I get another run here next season, and the results are similar, then I'll know it wasn't MC that played it's part in this shit-show,... until then, I'm unwilling to risk it!

hey Hairy! Thank you for the epic Like bombing ,... can I offer you some eye moisturizer? ... Cheers mate, I hope you saw some good stuff somewhere along the line,.... as you see above, there's little enough to learn from this outdoor run this year... there are problems, but nothing to solidly conclude unless I grow here again to see how much the weather was a contributing factor,... and using different nutes!

...swervin' and pervin' on a little dry porn update,.....

>>> Cosmic Queen .... buds are a bit fluffy, but loaded with nice greasy-gummy trich's,... pardon the rougher than usual trim!..... Still holding that funky overripe fruit, dash of incense and baby poo (yup!) aroma in the jar- .... chopping releases more rich fruit notes, yogurty like when she was live- .... potency even with minimal cure time is damn good, 3 hits and you're well baked!

>>> @StickMan --- Maines Own Blueberry/OGK x C99a..... turned out very very good as well- Thank you again my friend, fine work as always!
...Very dense scissor-fouling gummy texture, well sugared, and her aroma is all MoB, green pheno', in fact Stickmate ... classic MoB berry and some head shop complexity,... OGK and C99 are not in the house at all, strangely, at least for aroma... You weren't kidding about MoB's aromatic dominance in crosses- - but the super density I think is coming from the OGK?... we'll see what several more weeks of cure brings, but if we know MoB, there will be little change... MoB has some of the most well holding, durable aromatics I've encountered....:drool: .... *edit*-- @StickMan , I take it back!.... I pulled a really nice ripe top bud out now that it's more smoke-ready, and chop-up released some definite OG stank lurking in there- ... potency is gob-smacking strong, no joke ... Sun baking brought the hammer out in this girl!

where's the nice warm dry coastal Sept? some good weather now will be a big boost!

sex bud....yeah, some strains are definitely way too sensitive to be around me, hehe. Could be 2 plants side by side, same strain, same base soil, same feed and one goes all whimpy and curled all over. In my case seems too much nitro is the glitch, and harvest will be "less than", whata bitch!

Trail buddy, some of us like our girls more "hairy" than others,...! .... I used to get downright Brazilian on them, but now I've become too lazy to fuss that much, at least during harvest trim,... If I do a porn shoot, I'll shave'm down more to expose the gooey parts!
...Sex Bud is a mutie Trail, weird brittle crinkle leaf, hypersensitivity to nutes,.. seen this before,... If the start wasn't so late as it was, or if I could have hooked up with a beefy clone, I'da yanked her and gone with another,... but she started trying, so I just let her be,... plant is still fraggy as shit, but the early bud crowns look good so far,.. fingers crossed on what she shows down the road here! If I get even an oz of nice yummy bud, it'll have been worth it...
...colors are coming on all of them! ... but MoB is a real Fall show usually for sure,... Normal expression plus cooler nights slow P uptake and metabolism from the cool, which can show in that color burnishing.... yeah, the weather is best in Fall here, but Aug. was particularly shitty along the coast, and I think that hurt things for bud quality,...

Sorry about the issues there @Waira.
Still, you'll have some nice herb which is better than nothing.

Some plants, yeah, they just have issues...
These are photos, right?
I guess that's why we pheno hunt.
Dropping dozens of beans to find a keeper.
Then keep her going for as long as we can.

I had a couple last round that just freaked out.
Both my 15:1 high CBD photos, too...
So just left with 2:1 and 1:1 meds...

Keep trying buddy, we all love your grows!
And you're so generous with your knowledge.
