Hey there outdoor growmies!
I haven't signed up for the outdoor grow this year. I should have!
@Waira
But at least I can share a few pics of what I've been up to in the UK country-side.
Sawney and
Dank sorted me out for some amazing beans to start with.
Around May and through June to even early July I'd drop sets of seeds into small cell pots.
Throw them into a community / shared greenhouse.
Let them show a set or two of true leaves.
Then drop them into some small rough holes in the ground in selected places.
Sometimes water when it gets really hot and dry.
And maybe feed once when starting flowering and again after the stretch with some organics.
That's it, pretty simple and easy, let nature do the work for me.
This is really just a lesson in how I grow right under everyone's noses.
People are walking about 10 yards from these plants every day...
Cut four very small ones already, and here are pics of at least ten more, three almost done, the rest by end of Sept.
Already pulled a couple of very small
Auto Blue/Strawberry Nuggets.
They were started in early May, when still cold, wet, and were chewed by slugs.
More about the smoke on that, below.
My present most mature girl is this camoflagued
Auto Lecter.
Luckily the surrounding area is still fairly green, so these don't stand out against a brown/yellow straw background.
Same girl, up close:
Yeah, she's about reading to chop!
The colors have come through nicely.
She has the purps on the outer edges, but also some inner calyxes have purple too.
Will probably take her down ... some time between now and Sunday.
I think she's about 9.5 weeks old. That's pretty fast for outdoors in the UK!
Small plants, yes, so no big yield, but plant a bed full of these and the numbers will give you the quantity.
For UK outdoors, the most important thing is speed and quality at speed.
Hit that window of June, July and August, and get the harvest in before the weather turns crap!
Her younger sisters nearby, two more
Auto Lecter girls, one month old from dropping the seeds, three weeks from sprouting.
The same two
Auto Lecters, individually, first the taller one:
And the smaller one that's a bit shaded:
Another cute pair, one
Auto Lecter(front?) and one
Auto Blue / Strawberry Nugget (back?):
Again, the same two individually, first the
Auto Lecter:
Then the
Auto Nugget:
And more, the third pair, one
Auto Lecter (right?) and one
Auto Nugget (left?):
And individually, the
Auto Lecter:
And little
Auto Nugget:
All the above are in the same area, a space of around a few square yards.
At this rate, I figure they'll be finished around late September.
Not even sure if I'll be around to harvest them, damn!
Hopefully this dry weather should continue until then.
Meanwhile, over in another location not so far away...
This pair of cuties, another pair of
Auto Lecter girls, same age as the mature one above:
Individually, the one on the right, showing many fresh pistils, still pushing them out, and needing at least another two weeks I'd say:
And on the left, a bit more mature, still needing another week, as she's not quite as far as the other one at the start of this post:
Hung up two little micro-plants to dry two days ago.
No pics here, but they were the tiny tiny ones, not sure what they were, maybe
Purple Moon Rock, or
Lecter, or something, haha!
Small and tiny but they have the sticky icky, so that's good in my books.
All credit to
@Sawney_bean and
@Dank Nuggets -- blazing one for you two!
Oh, tested the
Nugget the other day in a bong.
Haven't used a bong in so long I forgot to block the release hole at the back.
Thinking, WTF, why won't it draw?!?! Hahahahaa! And I was straight at the time!!
Anyone, once I figured out what the hell I was doing wrong,
a single bit hit was superb!
I'm a lightweight these days, but that was a damn fine single bong hit.
Was still feeling it hours later, though the main high was about 60-90 minutes solid.
Can't wait to try the
Auto Lecter smoke!
Love and hugs,
~MJS
