Outdoor Buzzard Tests Some Cannabis Breeders Club Seeds

[Buzzard]

Day 51 for the WokStar girls. They are chugging along and moving into flower mode. I noticed a few leaves with some random holes chewed a bit but not seeing any infestations of any sort. Pots have had pot poppers added and they seem to have kept the bugs in check. Will wait for the buds to swell a bit before top dressing again but will probably give them a little molasses in their water and maybe throw a small scoop of worm castings in as well. I still haven't got around to mulching them but it really hasn't been that hot so evaporation hasn't been an issue. I will probably wait until I do the next top dress and then mulch them with some clean straw. So far a trouble free grow other than the weather. A few days of sun and heat would sure help make them jump.

Looking good out there. Do you expect them to get much taller?

I would think they will gain another foot or so. I left them natural and did no topping or training. Mango Smile is one of the parents and the ones I have grown have all been fairly tall. Not sure what to expect outdoors as I usually grow indoors and in coco.

I've been away for a while. Looking good @Buzzard

Day 58 and we are moving right along. Buds are fattening and starting to sparkle. Everything seems a little slow but that is probably due to the cool weather at the start. I expect that they might go a little longer than normal. The plants have stayed healthy and there haven't been any real hiccups other than the cool weather. We are basking in a heat wave now so I expect they will fatten up nicely. They are getting some bloom boost every third day and straight water the rest of the time. I think I might just topdress one more time, but we will see how they progress this week.

We are at Day 65 and moving right along. Buds are stacking up and fattening. Lot's of trichome production and that wonderful tropical mango smell is starting to build. Hopefully we can go a few more weeks but the fans are starting to fade so we'll see. I might have to try this one again indoors in coco. I let these go with no topping or training so they won't be high yielders, but with a little training indoors I think they could go beast mode. They have some great genetics behind them so the bud should be primo. I am getting excited to get this one in the books, but we are also entering that high humidity time of the year and when nighttime temps drop the dew forms and the dreaded budrot is a problem. I am trying to keep the moisture off of them and trying to keep the air moving............fingers crossed. I will just continue the same watering regimen for the duration with a little bloom booster every third or fourth time. Also giving them a little blackstrap molasses to sweeten them up.

Healthy plants dude!

So it is Day 71 and we have had a couple of rough nights with humidity. Unfortunately botritis has claimed two main colas, so a decision was made to harvest early. The trichs are mostly cloudy with a few clears and very few ambers. It really sucks that the reward for nice compact tight buds is a battle with bud rot. Having said that, I truly believe that this would be an awesome indoor strain. It could possibly be a decent outdoor as well but the climate conditions this year were not favorable for an outside grow. The extended heat wave drove the humidity through the roof and the night time temp drop made for heavy, heavy dew. The smells are very much tropical fruity Mango and they were very sticky. I put them straight into paper bags and will do my best to get a good slow dry and cure. I will post again when I get a dry weight in a week or so.

Ah man, that bites. I'm surprised you got mold so easily and they don't look cramped at all. The weather rundown definitely explains it but still sucky.

I put the buds into jars today to start a cure. After cleaning out the bud rot which claimed two main colas and a couple of the larger side colas, we ended up with just under 3 ounces. If we could have gone to finish I think we would have doubled that. If they had been grown indoors in ideal conditions I think they would have been stellar. I will let them cure for a few weeks and then will do a proper review and smoke report.
