Outdoor 3 x Early Top Tao (Photo, Reg) - Maria's Early Spring Games

[trailanimal]

Exactly! Totally freaked me out last fall, when then obviously moved the already flowering plants out of the way to clear the drainage systems, and put them back in place. So, I'm hoping that in the ground, with minimal evidence of cultivation (so have to leave it fairly natural) they'll just think it's some other wild weed popping up on the raised bed like every other wild weed that's growing out there.

I think for my 6 x Mandala Safari Mix "experimental hybrids" I'm going to use the same area, but just down a couple of terraces lower. Down there they haven't even done a tidy up this early spring, so it's messier and thus more cover. One or two places are clearer of weeds, though, so will have some space.

Just keeping an eye on it.

maybe find the places that are the hardest for "them" to maintain

Day 9 - 3 X Early Top Tao (seedlings in tent)

Family shot
They are look very similar in growth progress so far. Nice.
Haven't numbered or named them yet. Should I?

Three little babies
Taking bets on male/female ratios, provided they all get that far.
See no reason why they won't!!!

Just gently watered with just RO water this morning.

Should have taken some other shots of the herbs.
The largest of the scorpion chillis is flowering.
It's only about 9" tall, but has about 15 flower buds.
The other ones are smaller, and less flower buds.
And the strawberry is starting to flower, too.
Has about 3+ lovely little white blossoms.
Should have taken more photos.

Realized last night that the Mars Refl 192 is just on "growth" lighting,
so it's just about 200 W over the whole 1.2x1.2 (4'x4') tent.
I put the three babies up higher though, herbs below.
Still, thinking about turning on the "bloom" lighting too, give them all 400W.
Nice thing about these Mars lights, that grow (veg) and bloom switch, gives more control.

Love and hugs,
MJS

smiles all round!

Trainingiii train all of my photos in the same way no matter what the strain is and it works well every time...though...I have a much longer veg period than you are going to have. I vote let 'em grow naturally.

Nice! Am checking it out.

Yeah. A balance between that and light coverage.
My location for the autos is elsewhere, and better still.
Excellent light range coverage, seldom if ever touched / maintained.

I'm naturally more of a natural girl myself.
I used to top and gently tie down my indoor sativas and hybrids,
but that was simply because of their height and length.
I'll really just have to see how they grow in these firs few weeks.

Oh, yummy yummy! Thanks for stopping by!


My goal isn't really monsters, though.
I want some guerilla plants that can survive the conditions here.
In my limited experience, for photos, 4 wks veg can still lead to a nice plant.

Day 11 - Early Top Tao

Family shot and one of the little babies:

And, just for @912GreenSkell here's the biggest chili.
It's still pretty short, about 20+cm = 8" or so, but about 15+ flowers!!!

You can see lots of little flower buds up top.
Hope her roots will be strong enough to provide the nutrients for all those flowers.

Ganja and chili .... may have to make some special curry sauce...........

Love and hugs,
MJS
