Budsons outdoor adventures

[Budson 420]

17th NOVEMBER

Quick update before all the bag seeds go outdoors, they are all going along nicely 4wks old today, some have been taken out of the tent and placed outside to go into flower, the others remain in the tent vegging.

All chugging along nicely I started two gorilla glue photos in the fabric pots, day one for those two.

And here’s the couple I put outside, the biggest plant is going really well, that’s the one in osmocote premium soil, very surprised with this stuff, it’s been outdoors for roughly 1 week and 5 days, and is starting to stretch, hopefully it’s a female and we’ll see pistils in the next week or so

That’s all for now, everything in the tent besides the GG is going out bush this week, and the ones already outdoors will be go out in the bush also expect the osmocote plant, that’ll stay in the yard where I can watch it as I’m interested in seeing how it performs in that soil, happy gardening team

I’ve had that in the past, or just a container with beads amongst the seeds, I’m pretty sure we can’t talk details here but it was a pain to get into the package at the least!


You’ll still be waiting a bit mate, I ordered these on September the 4th if i remember correctly, I definitely didn’t select autos as my free seeds though, but there’s 13 freebies so not complaining

hey Budson, Thats great amount of freebies, i guess they like to flip the autos freebies. Thanks mate, so maybe a bit longer a wait for me. The plants are look super fine that osmotcote isnt bad

 

[Budson 420]

@smokeyfromau sure is good mate, I’m pretty sure I picked photo regs as freebies as I wanted to play around this year and make a few seeds, but auto regs will suffice, maybe I’ll do a photo x auto, so next year I’ll have slightly faster finishing photo’s.. if that’s how it works
Well by going with how long it took mine, yeah you might have 3-4 weeks? Who knows really, I got told to expect 3months.
Yes the osmocote is doing better then expected! Some said it wouldn’t work some said it does, some said it needs things added, so far so good

All looking good Budson , nice and healthy , as we seeds from overseas . I waited 8 weeks for the last batch of seeds to get here . I was wanting to get some Ace seeds but they will not bother sending to Australia at the moment .

Hey Budson, That sounds good mate i would like to try also to make some seed, i suppose a photo x auto would have the ruderalis gene which i assume gives the autos the speed, also smaller size. It crazy the wait, Aussie seed banks either out or short supply, but local postage isnt too bad only slighty slower

Hey Hecno, mate i remember asking SeedStockers, and they said no due to covid, so Ace must be another. Seems covid times has really stuffed up international mail arrivaal times

 

[Budson 420]

Yeah seeds are starting to become difficult to source, a lot of country’s not shipping to certain areas, Australian banks are low on stock and harder to get, when they do get stock it’s gone so fast!
that’s why I’ll be pollinating some girls this year, at least I’ll have something to grow if the situation doesn’t change, although there’s a few more strains I’d like to add to my collection, I would really like something different like some ducks foot, ABC or freakshow, @hecno have you ever come across any ducksfoot in your time?

 

[hecno]

20 odd years ago Ducks foot was grown up here . I have not seen it since in a long time .

22nd NOVEMBER

Well yesterday didn’t go to plan, I couldn’t get supplies like fencing material, I forgot my nutrient tabs and animal repellent, it was late afternoon and got eaten alive by mozzies! And seen a dugite and tiger snake in my grow site!
Getting absolutely nailed by mozzies we didn’t waste any time digging a few holes adding some blended manure and putting a few plants in, I think I got 9 in and a few cages on, I need to go back tomorrow finish the cages, and a good water, last two days have been 28 and there’s no rain forecast for the next 7days bugger!
I still have 4 in my yard, the osmocote tester and 3 others, the tents mostly cleared out, I have my 2 gorilla glue photos, a mostly sativa bagseed I wanna keep around, and kept the best bagseed out of the 17 original ones. Let’s get on with the pictures, not the best, remember the mozzies? I wasn’t hanging around for photos lol.

Worm farm is paying off, finall I top dressed a few plants and watered it in, tomorrow I’m off to buy a pump to make a compost tea for the indoor girls

Two Gorilla glues 1wk old, won’t be planting straight into final pots again, I usually transplant, the growth is a little slower, but they’ll take off once the roots stretch a little, these will be vegged for 4 or so weeks and placed in the back yard to finish off.

You’ll notice two different bag seeds here also, a more sativa dominant in the back, and I kept the best bag seed from the original 17. The sativa was having a few problems in the soil I originally had it in, so transplanted to a pot of GroDirt 9 days ago and its bounced right back.

I also dropped 5x top toa demon autos 5x top toa micro autos 1x sticky fingers and 1x Bruce banner
The demons and micros are reg seeds so I plan of just throwing them in the bush, weeding out the males, the SF & BB will be grow in the tent it’s been a very long time since I’ve done autos!
Here are the SF and BB just breaking the surface this arvo

3rd DECEMBER

Hey team bit happening today, I repotted all the autos 5/5 demons, 3/5 microns, and both sticky fingers and Bruce banner, all 8days old, I accidentally killed a micron looking for it in the soil it had just sprouted and I ripped the poor thing apart, and other seed just didn’t sprout, they’ve all been put into slightly larger pots where they’ll stay for another week or two max before joining the gorilla grow plants.

Bruce banner & sticky fingers got a larger pot as they’ll be staying in the tent and will be my first auto run for quite a while! May make a journal for them soon.

Two strains I’m really looking forward to trying!

I also repotted the best bag seed into a 12lt fabric pot with living soil and 20% castings, I need a name for this thing, guardians of the galaxy is on.. I’ll call it, star lord hopefully it’s a female! Gave it a good lst here’s some before and afters

Definitely time for a new pot

Much better, I’ll give it another week in the tent to recover from today’s antics then it’s in the backyard with this one.
After!

Both gorilla glues are going nicely, I think they are 15 days today, topped the bigger one and there was a caterpillar in the mulch that had a great time on the smaller one!

And we’re back at full capacity in the dank den thanks to all the autos, another couple of weeks and BB & SF will have the tent all to them selves

Hopefully I get time in the next few days to go check the gorilla grow and if there still alive, put cages on the rest, just been way to busy to get a chance to go out, fingers crossed they’re all fine and have settled into there new homes. Happy growing fam

hey Budson mate, really loving your grow here, outdoors guerilla grow site looks fantastic, lovely deep black soil. I got the same temp gauge, seem to work pretty well one died lol as i misted it by accident. The girls all look super healthy.
