Hey guys, i thought id share some experiences from last years OD grow. I tried planting some regular commercial autos outdoors at latitude 69-70 north in arctic Scandinavia.
First ever outdoor, so no laffin pls
Im very sensitive about my plants..
hehe.. no not at all, any critique is very appreciated.
Truth be told, i made many mistakes and learned many lessons... killed many plants, the ones that lived were mostly immature. My biggest mistakes was choosing bad spots and overnuting, i used pellets from AN and didnt know how damn strong they were. Since most of my plants turned out not so photogenic, i didnt bother to take many pictures, in fact i only have pics from one of my spots, but here are some for you.
Sowing time: last week in may, preveg indoors in 1L pots for ca 3-4wks
Planted out: Last week in june
Harvested: Sept 3-13
Light regime: midnight sun ( sun is continuously above horizon) from may 22 to july 22, after that approx 10 minutes less sunlight every day successively.
Location: Lat 70 north, Arctic Scandinavia
Temps: Avg temps is the black line and last years temps is the colored line. If you look closely at this chart you will notice that it was colder then avg right around the time i planted out in late june and it was colder then avg in that critical time in late august just before harvest. This surely affected my results, its worth mentioning that last summer was catastrophic for the local agriculture with alot of failed crops due to bad weather.
Habitat: Pine and birch forest, alpine terrain w peaks at 1000-2000m, treeline ca 200m coastal- 700m sheltered inland valleys
Strains: Div commercially available autos, there was a mixup of strains when planting out on this spot so im not sure whats what in the pictures. If i recall correctly, this spot in the pics below had purple mazar, short term amnezia, sour 60 and speedy G. This was a northward facing spot so the plants on this spot turned out large/tall/branchy and immature. Pics from right before harvest time, you can see the frost damage on them from some cold early september nights and how overnuted they were.
This particular plant below was the one that matured best of the strains we tried. I think it was a homemade danish cross, blueryderxeasyryder
I think this was the short term amnezia, im sure it would have done much better on a southward facing spot.
Oki, only had pics from this spot, i also had other spots where there were more and less degrees of failure much much improvement can be made.
Wish me better luck this year, ill try to make some OD crosses once i find some strains that will finish well up here.
Peace all, happy growing season
