Live Stoner Chat The 2024 Auto-Photo Outdoor Competition!

Wild Thing is A-OK by me!
Damn, so many of your FV's are hair triggered this year... It's usually a gamble how they will react; pheno diff's, lineage of course...
I try to get my photo's and semi's as near to ambient as I can by the time I start hardening them off. I run the seedlings with the auto's for a week or so at that light regime, but start cutting that down after 10 days or so coz I'm paranoid-ish
Plus cautions from others like the Belgium guy that dial UEL and some others in for his conditions...
Oh yeah, the sundown/sunrise spectrum change is definitely a thing!
Wow, HK is is full shwiiiing already?! What the blue fek, I'da lost that bet every time knowing that parentage! That is actually remarkable...

bloody technology! That sucks mate... how about your phone? Limp along with that if you like until you get sorted... I'm not worried about you swapping out a plant and showing up a few weeks later with a 2m beastie, either - ...stay in if you like, best ya can!


View attachment 1684607 Outstanding RT', that is major clearing work done under hostile conditions! I know what effort this sort of work takes and taxes, so major huzzah! - to you and your sherpa-level schlepping of goods and goat heard level bramble taming!
I gotta say that spot looks ideal, very densely veg'ed about the place and all the pluses that offers...
Very well done mate, this effort all around is impressive -

Plenty of time 420'. hell I don't even look at my photo seeds until June!
...germ'ing blues is the shits, cannot account for it at times... nothing new here, right? ...yet they seem to outright defy you...
I imagine you have reviewed all the likely suspects for causes... For what it's worth, theses days I don't play, all seeds get seam sanded and presoaked in a mild seaweed+Si+fulvic soln. for 8-10 hours only, then direct sowed, all under mid-upper 70's T's...
Because I start late, no time to fiddle-fuck with retries for long so this is how I tip the %'s my way much as I can....

Cheers mate!
One hell of a day but soo worth it!
Now all the major supplies have been taken up and main clearance is done, that's that hard part out the way.
Having said that I do have to dig a ton of clay!

I had the opportunity to throw some beans outdoors this year at a couple of friends houses. Not sure if these qualify since I am only partially tending to them. I sent out 3 @Jean-O Legend photos and 1 Rootbeer Float auto. All 4 spouted around 4/23/24 and were kept indoors in my tent for about 30 days till last weekend this week.

The Rootbeer Float went into a 7 gal grow bag ri be moved as needed and her sister went into a buried cardboard box with about 10 gals of clean compost in it. The other 2 Legends went into a reworked organic garden. Looking forward to the results as I haven't done much outdoors due to where I live.

Now I see it, the difference is incredible.

The protectors of the "Terabithia Paradise Plot", once you cross the bridge you better stick to the path! Climbing up the hill to get there will probably knacker you out anyway!

Another days work and another step, in the right direction.
It was supposed to be substrate mixing day today but when I got there, I realised there was still a lot of clearing up to do!
All in all, it took 6 hours to get it like this.
That pile of sticks doesn't look that much material but it is the whole plot worth of brambles.
There were still bramble stems in the ground that needed got rid of too, more snipping.
A good days work, next will be the substrate mixing but the weather is not looking good for a week, so we shall see, when I make up there again.

The edges of the plot also got a hair cut!

That looks a lot better (above pic)
Remember it looked like the pic below, before finishing the clearing.

That looks like some thick ass woods. Tremendous job I've got some property to clear next time you come to the states

Thick, thorny and full of briars.
When I say thorns, I mean thorn trees as well as briars!

Looks like a nice spot! I remember doing a patch like that in the 90’s but was dogwood, I think!

Yes, wild red twig dogwood clump, about 40’ wide and 60 ‘ long. Cleared a 20’ diam hole in the middle after cutting a 20+ foot crawl tunnel in. Northern lights from Sensi seed bank. Well, clones…

Sounds awesome! Does dog wood have thorns or is it a thick thicket?

Please explain further that seam sanding?
