Outdoor Sockelf's 2017 PNW Island Grow [amnesia, black cream, euforia, ak-47, early miss]

[sockelf]

Some pictures! Below shows my monster tall Euforia at over 64" tall. She's fattening up now and I may need to support some of the branches as they pack on the weight. Smell is skunky and citrus, sharp and refreshing.

Below: Euforia bud shot, starting to get crystal.

My first Black Cream is about ready to chop. So hard to get photos of how beautiful she is... fruity sugar fantastic smell...

Some Amnesia buds below. They smell earthy, a tad funky, musky so far.

Below, a Cheese. The two Cheese and two Sweet Tooth are doing really well. I think they were planted at the perfect time for our outdoor weather this year... they show none of the my earlier germinantions did. One of the sweet tooth and one of the cheese were both topped about a week ago so I'm interested to see how their growth compares to their untopped sisters.

And another black Cream. This one is looking pretty green but it's early yet so I'm still crossing fingers for more purple. I can't decide on if I should top or fim or what... I want as much of the fruity sugar snacks that I can produce and I'm hoping that my other black Cream (almost ready to chop) was stunted and thus her very vertical/lack of bushiness.

Harvest season is on the horizon. I've got squash for days, the raspberries were incredible this year and my tomatoes are gearing up for a salsa harvest. Huzzah!

That Black Cream is such a beautiful shade of purple. I just love purple flowers in general, but purple cannabis is by far the most amazing.

Looks like it will be a good harvest this year.

Amnesia (below) is bulking up and I'm thrilled with her growth after she was beetle-bored and had some top buds deer nibbled. Probably another 7-14 days left, trichomes are mostlY cloudy.

Amnesia budshot, below. These are getting thick! They smell nice... fairly earthy and musky in a calm sort of way.

And the porch Euforia continues to shine, with another couple weeks as well, I'm guessing. Both The Euforia and Amnesia continue to throw out white pistils. The anticipation of harvest has me pretty excited.

The most mature Black Cream will be getting the chop this week. She's small but bulky where there's bud. Smells fantastic and today will probably be her last water. We are in for some crazy high temperatures in the next few weeks so that should be interesting for finishing up these few and getting the Cheese/Sweet Tooth on their way - they're in their preflower stretch/growth explosion at the moment.

Yeah! I'm with you on that. I aim to have a red/purple strain in every future grow... I love the contrast! Here's some more purple from this morn

Ha...we really do live in different worlds!! I have to drop purple red autos, as spotting mold is very hard, with our very high midsummer RH%. Raspberries were brutally low this season. No homemade back raspberry jam this year...
Your plants are doing awesome!! Great work bud!

Things have been progressing slowly for the Euforia and Amnesia.... since last week, the smoke from the BC interior wildfires has hit my area. It's been super hazy (red sun, orange light and rust moons) and while it's been warm, the humidity has been crazy - the dew is super heavy from the smoke cover?? I don't know. Anyway, they're calling for rain this weekend so I'm thinking that the Amnesia at least will get the chop prior to the rainfall. Her buds are so dense and hard so I'm worried about mould moving in and I'd hate to lose any of her gorgeous flowers! She's still foxtailing. I also can't tell if she's mostly done sucking up water or if it's just the smoke cover and heavy dew that aren't aiding in evaporation. Pics below.

I still haven't figured out why sometimes my pictures are sideways....... and sometimes they're fine.

Below: the Euforia I was calling stunted. She's covered in buds though they're smaller than the porch Euforia. Not sure how long it has to go since the Euforia seem like a longer to harvest auto and it was stunted for so long....

The two Cheese and two Sweet Tooth are doing excellent. They're a nice size and seem to be bulking up their flower sites. The plants that were topped developed smaller flowers (though I might argue there's more of them) and trichomes showed up days earlier on the topped ones. The untouched plants have larger flowers, bigger pistils and are just developing trichomes now. The Cheese plant sure does stink in an unusual way.


Porch Euforia has bulked up a lot. Her buds and surrounding sugar leaves are covered in crystal. Weeeee! The smell has developed into fuel/pine with lemons. Excited about this. Not sure if it will get the chop this weekend too. I've been watching trichomes daily through my loupe and the Amnesia is definitely closer (except for the tips of the foxtails) with mostly cloudy and a couple amber here and there. The Euforia seems cloudy but I haven't seen much for amber on actual calyxes, just a couple on leaves.

And this little guy, chilling in a Sweet Tooth.

Next post will Probabky have some trimmed Amnesia shots since her days are so numbered!!!

Nice work bud!! All are looking solid!

Amnesia is dried and off for its cure. Came in at 116 grams total weight which I'm pleased with though I thought it would be more.

Shaggy budshot, below. The sugar leaf was pretty frosty and since it just gets ground into my vape, I'm not always concerned with perfect bag appeal. I figure those leaves protect the super frosty calyxes. The smell developed in the last week to a really fuel/earth/musk that I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes with a cure. The Euforia is also quite fuel-y but with sharper citrus and lemon notes.

The Euforias get the chop tomorrow!
The Cheese and Sweet Tooths have another two to three weeks, guesstimating. I'm interested to see if the topped plants' buds start filling in more since they're still half the size of the untouched plants' buds. Getting sparkly and smelling delicious.

And the photos are enormous at over 8ft tall - the Canuck cookies might be 9 or 10 feet - and just beginning flowering. Crossing my fingers for a long autumn season with sporadic light rain. A girl can dream, ;-)

Very nice! A 10 feeter would be awsome to see and a very respectable harvest
