Completed The 2023 Outdoor Auto-Photo Competition!

[Green Hornet]

Looking great Green hornet. Thanks for the reps. Yeah it's looking pretty damn dry isn't it?

We're supposed to get some rain this weekend. I think you'll be getting more than we do though. The weather girl this morning said something about rain for this coming Wednesday may be up to a half of an inch woohoo not much but better than freaking nothing. I'm getting ready to go out to clean the tank right now cuz it's empty as I used up the last of my rain water yesterday from the last rain we had back in early May 240 gallons plus 55. I set up two more barrels last night to capture another 110 gallons of water. So I have a total capacity now of 405 gallons that I can harvest of rain water. I might be able to set up another 55 gallon barrel. But The only problem I have is keeping it all fresh when it's all separate like that. I may have to get out a couple more fish tank pumps and air stones to keep it all fresh long enough to use it all.
I've found that I can leave it set in a 55 gallon barrel with the top on it without no aeration for about a week and a half to two weeks and then it starts to go bad. It all depends on how hot it is and if direct sunlight on the barrel. It seems to go faster when it's in the direct sunlight.

It's been over a month since a good soaking rain. An old friend is coming up the exact days were supposed to get rain we'll see

@Waira Update on the autos
The Root Beer Float S3 comp auto that was unpotted by the racoon is now getting ate up by bugs, she can't catch a break lol! I sprayed with a few different repellents and the munching seems to have stopped. Her cousin I started after she was ravished is doing just fine on the other hand.

The Kush Kush F3 is the strongest auto I have going in the greenhouse despite being beat up and unpotted. She is going strong and I'll probably start a little LST here soon.

It's still dipping down into the low 50s at night here but staying around mid 70s to low 80s during the day. It's been a super dry season so far here and kind of mild. I'm pretty glad I've got the greenhouse this year for the autos and decided to go with pots instead of direct soil planting for most of them but I do have a couple of the autos in the ground so I can compare a few of the strains. Hopefully my issues are over for the season and smoother sailing is ahead now to keep up with the IPM and plant maintenance as they pick up steam.

One of my indoor testing plants I moved outdoors about a month ago to finish flowering cause the bigger plants in the cab were blocking all the light. The Auto phenotype of the Cream Cheeze F1Fv. I have a photoperiod phenotype still vegging outdoors and this tester plant has my mouth watering.. I can smell all 3 of the patent strains in the phenotype. Root Beer Float, Blue Cheese, and Zkittlez make some delicious terps when mixed together!

She's got another week or so to go here in this 1 gallon pot and I can't wait to check out! She's still bulking up a lot here outdoors.

@Waira Ok.. gotz a couple more auto's going now

CBD Haze 1:1 and Kush Kush from brother @Jean-O. I may have mixed up the labelling so will hopefully know once they start getting their grow on. Calling 6-8 day one for both to keep it simple. they are about a 1.5 dayz apart me thinkz.

I ran out of the soil i used last year and for the Autowreck, so this is also a test drive of somez new soil. And also a test drive on transplanting the CBD Haze. I cut the inner pot all to hell, no bottom and most of the side cut out, so that will all go directly into its final pot when it's time.

More fun n games on the island

Happy grows family

The outdoor Cream Cheeze F1Fv photo phenotype has been running strong ever since I transplanted her in her final home. It's crazy to me that this one didn't start to flower like a few other FVs I put out this year even though her sister decided to go full auto.

Looks like leave hopper work.

If it is they are looking for water in the leaves of your girl. And because that girl that got coon attack and ruffed up a bit. She mite taste better and or maybe mite have more water in her for repairing.

Day 63 for the OD photoperiod girls. All three are doing good. Rain was a welcome change to 10 days without. Colder mornings have prob slowed growth a little. Mostly healthy though! Almost time to start feeding…

I kind of figured it was something along that line. It's so freaking dry here. I've got cracks in the soil outside of the garden that seem to be endlessly deep where the sprinkler hasn't reached. My creek behind the garden is bone dry and I don't think I've ever seen it with less than a foot of water running through it. I think it's rained twice so far this year and not very hard either time. I may have to have my road sprayed out in front of the house cause it's a dirt road and the dust is getting pretty bad if it's still like this come flowering time I'll have to drop the $500 the county wants to have it sprayed to keep the dust down.

Bone dry here all year so far too. Had 1 week of straight rain in April and that's been pretty much it.

Battery powered backpack sprayers are like $100-200. I can usually get about 50 gallons down on 1 battery
