Completed The 2021 Outdoor Auto/Photo Competition!

UK weather has picked up, now with sunshine and day temps 20+C, even up to 25C.
So I've been putting them outside during the day to harden off.
:woohoo1: Finally, huh? All the grow mates have been griping about the shite weather going on so late! Hopefully that's done, and ditto for no epic heat waves either...:doh:
Thanks Pop. My wife's favorite color is purple, and Kush is her favorite strain family, and she absolutely adored Sweet Seeds "Sweet Afghan Delicious". So when I saw a strain with all 3 words in the name I just knew we had to have some. Unfortunately, of the 5 seeds I got, the 1st 4 failed. So that makes this plant even more special. Hope it survives and lives up to our imagination. :biggrin:
:jointman: You're girls look ready to rumble Sky, nice transplant too! :amazon:

I'm not sure what was up with Dinafem toward the end,... Something tells me there were quality control issues with certain cultivars. Others reported lousy germ'ing on some of them, muties, poor pheno' expressions,... That's what mine was, a complete misfire genetically! I get the feeling that their older line-up was getting tired, they were complacent about them (or didn't care), or breeding out-sourced to hacks as mere "back burner grade" cultivars anymore,...:shrug:
Again, I'm hoping for the best with your PAK! Especially the pineapple aroma :drool:
If you are OK with reg's, there's a landrace Paki' called Aunt of Farook that's outstanding... I'm pretty sure seeds are out there someplace, I'll ask around if you're interested...
@Waira who is sponsoring prize seeds this year? I'm down to offer up a few packs of auto beans for the top 3 again this year!
:bow::pighug: :bow: hell yeah we'd be stoked to have your genetics as prizes! :d5: ... As of now, I have no idea who else,... maybe Sweet again, SeedStockers for other parts of the world due to shipping restrictions... Mark will help I'm sure! I wish we had some Twenty20 Mendo stuff going in this Comp, bet I could get Adam to offer up something... I'll work on that and other later!
 
Update #3
Photoperiod Strains: Banana Papaya, High Society & Purple Afghan Kush
Approximately 60 days old.


You bet. Here they are now, potted up in their 10 gallon RainScience Grow Bags. Medium is Soil King's Big Rootz amended with a bit of this and that (azomite, dolomite, worn casings, lobster compost, mycos, and perlite).

@Kyote - concerning your feelings for the view these plants get ... let me just say, sometimes an ocean view becomes way too intimate. We just finished two straight days of a full-on Nor'easter. That's New England jargon for "gale force winds loaded with salt water". Had I not carried these babies inside for the duration, they would all be dead now -- instantly tuned into a googy black moldy mass. I just worry that as they get bigger I may not be able to carry them in for every storm. The six-month 2021 Atlantic hurricane season begins today, June 1st.

Oh your over that way eh? I hear ya, when the storms come in, things can change in a hurry. When we were looking for a place on Vancouver Island, there was one literally on the beach on the south western tip of the island. I'm glad they refused our offer. One day, beautiful beyond imagination, next day hurricane force winds and rain.

Your plants are looking great. Maybee a little red wagon for hauling them indoors when necessary?

I'll 2nd this. Sweet isn't shipping to north america at all again. :shrug:

From Apolo. " We have even received a new piece of bad news, and that is that our partner is now unable to ship to the USA and Canada. Due to brexit or other reasons, they have told us that they can no longer help us, so we are once again unable to ship."

I still haven't got seeds from last years OD comp. They finally did mail them in April, yet nothing showed up here. I would have been up the creek if not for the kindness of Waira and some FV photos. :bow: I've got a Seedstockers Cookies FV that isn't in the OD grow, as it is in the Seedstockers grow.
And of course, that one is a very happy camper right now.

And I'm just gonna say a tip of the hat to FB and Seedstockers:toke: As they got it together with international shipping. :thumbsup:
