Outdoor Green Ops 2015

Bonza Hecno bro ! Australia are in Wales group for the world cup, should be a good match get on the live sports thread for a it of banter.
Chopped the blackberry kushs tonight, they havent done anything for ages and theyve had more than a week of flush, both girls went out prematurely and neither girls fully developed. The first plant to die from the gales was a blackberry kush and it was a good size too so will try harder next season with this strain. The smell is delicious its very similar to hollands hope smell its a strange pear aroma.

This girl had 2 breaks in the stem so I kept her back and lst'd her dont think she got fed either.

Only the tiniest bit of mould on the guerilla one. Not the greatest harvest weight wise not quite a quater ounce but the smell and look of the buds will make for an interesting session.

Too bad the weather wouldn't cooperate but that the 'fun' of growing outdoors. At least you get a variety of your own product to sample thru the winter. Good luck on the rest of your harvest.

Great job getting those buds to mature outside! I've been outdoor and indoor for years I know how tough the weather can be. Good luck with the end of the season!

Rain all week, just checked the plants thinking it was going to be moldageddon but only bits n bobs on the scali haze the mazar is clean ! Or the Red auto mazar as im now calling it.

Auto Mazar absolutely skinking, feck knows where im going to dry her, ill wait till the sun comes out before chopping as I'd like to get some decent photos of this girl.

Dont think the super cali haze will finish properly, shes got another week then il think about chopping her unless a september heatwave comes along.

BTW The Dismaland bemusement park in weston SM is fucking ace go see it. Seek out Darren Cullens stuff its mega sweet

So all things must come to an end and today the Mazar had two spots of mould so with a crappy bit of weather ahead she had to fall. Very pleased with the result considering the mostly wet and overcast summer we've had, pretty pleased with the mould resistance too, sure i grew some auto mazar a few years back and got battered by mould but this time solid buds and so so stinky.

So all autos down and I can tell you that blackberry Kush auto has a sweet taste and smell and is very more-ish, will do a proper report on all varieties in a month or so.

Super Cali Haze struggling against the low temps and mould, she's further behind at this stage than the last one I grew and I nearly went back for the ripen but im letting her finish naturally - untill it gets really bad anyway ! The sample i tested last week blew me away though, just a lower branch that had moulded quick dried on the ps3 very premature didnt look or smell much but BOOM the stone is a champ.

Oh dear all this rain and no sun and the mould has hit the photoperiods hard, absolutely gutted about it as the 2 best plants had it the worst. The 2 forrest dreams havent started flowering yet, the early skunk that was sickly has been pulled as she didnt have any pre flowers. The big early skunk hasnt started flowering or the fresian in the same spot ???? That spot has been good for 4 years so dont know whats going on there maybe the surrounding veg has got to a point where growing is limited I dont know. The fresian duck in the same spot has ok flowers which is confusing ?

So the the best plants flowering wise are Fresian Dew but both plants have been brutally cut back, one has lost the top half and the other 4 big side branches, this all came on in the last 5 days and today I spent an hour defoliating and cutting back the surrounding vegetation to give the girls a chance.

The supercali haze is still chugging along, geting more stinky, resinous and has been flushing for weeks ! She will fall this weekend if all goes well.
The auto Mazar is dry and I smoked some last night, very hashy taste and smell and a couch lockey effect. Give it another 2 weeks and ill do a smoke report on all 4 autos. Sorry this is a bit of a dismal post but thats outdoor growing for you some you win and some you lose !

Maffro, I'm very sorry to hear about the photos molding and having trouble flowering.
Maybe the molding plants can be saved with a spray of peroxide(3-5%) and after that with a sulfuric solution for a longer protection.

SCH looks great for the conditions, also the AM was a very nice dark resinous plant.
If you can, let the SCH go for 2-3 weeks more but if mold is hard, just chop her and enjoy the good smokes.
