Outdoor Auto and Photo Grow Battle under the Sun 2017

[Mossy]

I ran over all buds with the microscope and still no amber trichomes. Weird, maybe it's the strain,

Some don't.....ambers seem Best for pain-killers..so I'm always hunting them.

Man I don't envy people who have pounds of this stuff to do, even that little bunch took me a while!

I Hate trimming......seed shelling even more...

I also ordered a Focus Vape Pro today in preparation for when I'm cured and ready to roll.... Well not roll as the case may be with a vaporizer but you get what I mean! I'm sure I'll have a crack at rolling a joint too. I've not rolled one for about 10 years!

Do us a Review when you get your Vape..we are on a purge to find the Best vape out there....

Shiva is growing big. Working hard to keep her out of sight.

Wow..she is some size now..... [HASHTAG]#GoDrB[/HASHTAG]

I did brown paper bags outside, in a cool place out of direct sun and rain... no mold..
but I had to change the paper bags like every morning via the dew (the bag would lose its "crunch"?) .. and shook the buds around after meal time to avoid flattening so much.
the bags were off of the ground with adequate airflow ..
was actually one of the better/ smoother outside processes .. definitely a fan of the paper bag now..

best advice I can give you would be to remain diligent in this last little bit..

August over here is known as drip..drip..drip.....for the high humidity..makes it hard to dry bud naturally.
I have a herb dryer if I find they aren't drying..but it does seem to lose some taste..

I'm out. The Dark Devil Auto went to mold so bad I couldn't even bring myself to make bubble hash out of it. So I thought noooooo problem, I still have my Dr. K photo girl going in a different location. Went out there this morning to find some deer had decide my grow was the best place to lay down and the had completely trampled the five plants I had out there.

So it is official, I'm out of the contest for both my auto and photo.

Damn......that is a Shame.

Bummer bro, sorry to hear that.

damn deer!!

Damp and deer..it has been a bad season...

Hey folks, my Black DOG is chugging along and I'm expecting flowers any week now. I've been hitting her with Roots Organic Uprising.

@GringoStarr ... Lovely...

Not all is lost and still have plenty for my patient and myself so the universe does provide, it just kicks you in the soft spots once in a while as well.

Yup..

Good luck to all my fellow warriors. Now I can't wait for the voting to begin and see the buds that manage to survive this season.

Peace all and happy gardens.

She was done....enough amber in the trichs to do a Jurassic Park movie. Here's the final pics Mr. @912GreenSkell (hope your catfishin' went well )
Live bud:

Done bud. Tight, smells great, looking forward to a cure and smoke report. It isn't the biggest, but I thought representative of the plant's output. Great mix between mint and gasoline

and full plant before it fell on a chainsaw...

Love the security guard too..

Back for a quick moment!! Bud and capt cold, awesome work gents!! Looking amazing! The closeup of the dried flower mr. wiser looks excellent! Nice work to both of you guys. Moved both entries to completed.

Fishing went well...my buddy was burned out from work so we didnt get to fish too hard...stayed until 11 pm. All fish small, but.....we got
6 northern pike
2 largemouth bass
10 catfish (all bullheads, where are all of the channel cats i wonder???)
5 rock bass
2 perch
0 Walleye

Great start...gearing up for round 2, leaving in 30min

Grand fishing..

Aahhhthankyou Mossy. (And good morning)

They firing on all cylinders now, it's just a shame the rabbits ate most of the first side branches or we'd be looking at trees by now.

Rabbits too @Vlad The Inhaler ..everyone is a Ripper...

Candy Kush looks Lush....

We have millions of snails here..the spanish put them in a box for 2 weeks with only rosemary to eat..it purges their system and you cook them and have a rosemary flavoured snail..

I've Thought about trying them with a load of canna flavoured trim..but I haven't been brave enough yet..

That's the problem with greenhouses Mo, not enough air circulation. I used to know an ol' fella on another forum who rigged up a load of PC fans to a car battery to move the air a bit.

For the snails, put out a pie tin with an inch beer, they'll go in, won't get out... worked great in my mom's garden yrs ago.... maybe she was tryin to get rid of dad's beer?

Good Luck @Slowmo

a VERY depressing site met me .... 4 big plants that was looking so good 1½ week ago ... all but gone

i think we saved 5 % ..... mainly lower buds frozen for bubble ... no smokable buds at all !

we ended up comparing to slaughtering a pig.. and being left with just the feet ....

I didn't bring the camera because we also got 40mm of rain today ...

This green house actually had good ventilation due to broken panes

At least my mom cooked tenderloins yummy

My hats off to you outdoor enthusiasts. Setbacks for sure, but you keep perservering despite it. What else would we do?
This has been an interesting season so far.
