Outdoor Auto and Photo Grow Battle under the Sun 2017

[captcold]

alright! After some 25 days in mixed lighting (indoor 420W HPS & natural 'big bulb in the sky'), we're taking it outdoors for good.

I started two Dutch Passion Think Big's on April 24th, and now, we have 2 bouncing babies ready to put their feet on/in the ground, and stand on their own, rain or shine.

I'm gonna use TB#2. They're about the same - internodes and branching are similar - this is just a gut feel.

A bit of a slow start - I think due to night time temps getting into single digits. But, sun is out, and the next week or two promises to behave.

Might go into ground or 5 gallon pail. One way or the other, I am so stoked about seeing how dutch genetics roll at 50LAT

Those stalks are barking up!

So I may have to take my NLxBB out of the running for the photos as I believe it's gonna get WAAAAAAAY too big for outdoors, unless I can somehow get this thing trained to be a squatty 2ftx2ftx3ft plant, which so far, it's already almost 3ft across when tying the branches down, so I may just finish her indoors and take some clones and put them outside to run and see how they do w/ no veg time.. The picture is from a few days ago, and it's already grown about 2-3" in most spots AFTER I topped it for the 3rd time!!! lol For once, I was hoping the plant would stay small!!!!! I wish I could give it to you @912GreenSkell to grow out in your spot because I think this pheno has great vigor and structure!!

I'm dropping the Ultraviolets either this evening or tomorrow and will be inside for about 2 weeks until it's established, then it's outside for the duration..

God... Didn't you ask me for a bunch of badges? Pm me with all I owe ya! Been meaning to get with you...

F*cking ants!.. --really??... they ate the seedling,... ...I gotta say GS, I've had them move in the pot because it's so nice in there, but never had them go termite on a live seedling! it's weird mate, maybe it's has an aroma that tricks them into thinking it's something else? Or something this species will just do,... in any case, [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] thing is to trace their entry point, and drop right-now nukes on them, making that area lethal to be in,... I don't know what reg. pesticides you have, or strong repellent "garden safe" types, but in a limited area, like the seams or cracks they gained access through, laying down some real deal FO product is wise,... alternately, you could set the all on a large tray (or saucers), and lay down a bead of Tanglefoot or something like that-- a sticky "death moat"! ... I'm not sure about the cinnamon, I think the plant will be safe (I've used it in orchid pots to treat fungus) but maybe not repellent enough,... No matter what, don't lay down any sort of food bait, this will actually (by design) attract them for a time, then they die en mass later as HemiSync mentioned,...(Boric acid in the bait)

.... :smoking: in other news,... the Burmese Diesel germ' failed, and since I was torn about it vs. Orange Hill Special, guess what took a swim the other day? -- cracked a day later, and will be potted tomorrow! I want me orangey goodness

On another note....I put an auto frisian dew out in march in the same climate as the UK as an experiment and I got over an ounce off her.....

Auto frisian dew looking nice! From march to may and already harvesting...thats astonishing! How couldwas the nights were you are at? Hardcore that plant grew in uk weather this early!!

It's still curing pal. Only chopped her about 3 weeks ago but will tag you once I try. Have another one I just out down in the ground 3 weeks ago too.

Ah stop. It's not stealthy at all. And the other too are hardly growing and look deformed. Very unhappy with the seeds from DP

Wasnt that pleased by my Orange Bud seeds from DP aswell...

I'd contact DutchPassionTony and tell him of your disappointment and show him your grow. Id be surprised if they left you hanging.

@Dave_Shorts - updating your entry now.

And here we go with my official entry....DP's think fast....goodness ladies and gents...this plant is gonna be a good size!! Day 46

This are the most aestetic plants so far in this battle!

@dankstyle J - Skelly is looking great bud!! Taking to the outdoor life perfectly bud! Updating entry

@goodgrace87 - Nice! Lil' ones are looking good soaking up the rays!!


My grow....oh NO!! A small disaster has struck!!!!! I noticed today that the brooklyn sunrise looked like the colour was off...a close inspection revealed many miniature ants gang raping her!! Killed as many as i could, and research revealed that they were sugar ants i think. A few hours later the plant was being raped again and they ate most of her....damn...one plant down...shit happens!! Hmm a bit nervous for the other 9 autos in the stealth cab...close inspection i saw zero ants and the seedlings look fine. Should i be worried @Waira ? I am tied up for the next 2 days and then the autos will be going outside during the day, and in the cab during the night. I read about using ground cinnamon top dressed...good idea for potential ant problem on mere 2-3 days old plants?

No man I always use universel soil with a mix of compost...

Couple years ago I used batmix lightmix canna terra etcetera..but all the yields were bout the same.. So I quit that and use universel soil from the market and that cost 2 euro whaha and make some good results with that...

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Just my bunch of kids, got some longnecks, to much water. Stabilzed this morn. Besides that and a slow grow rate still a good vibe in the tent! Those pathfinders are waiting to hit the trail!

Remember the TWIN SEED? So cool, two plants in one seed. One is a little small... but still im amazed. (CBDHAZEAUTO)

Straightened those sloppy stems up

The Erdpurt fraction...coming along nice. Few days until releasing them to the free wildlife...still no champ chosen but it will be one of the two big ones i guess (typical isnt it?..)

Groundlurker...he just doesnt want to grow UP

SOON...
