2 new seeds started for outdoors this season.

[Bakatare666]

OK, this week's update.
The PK, 9 days after flip (69 days old).
SD 11 days after flip, also 69 days old
Here's the bagseed clone experiment, 4 days after flip.
I just got lazy to bring it in every night, and I can just leave the 7 day old Mendo Purp vegging and not bother it.

looks good bro, i had some years ago that had some of the leaves up side down like that. that was some killer stuff too, you had better made sure you didn't need to do anything, cause you wasn't going to.

Baka you got a beast on your hands, that one looks like it has all the light it needs and she'll give it her best for you. Looks like a nice grow spot.

Do you move them around to catch the sun or in and outside?

Keep 'em green, they will do the rest !

Peace.... AIM

Thanks man.
The last week and half of veg, I was bringing them in at night and out in the morning, but since flipping, I'm just leaving them out, and even though it's been overcast about half of the last week, I can still tell they love the real sun.
The Diesel I'm hoping will show signs of sex soon, but the Purple Kush was a fem seed, so I'm not worried about that one.
The kush looks kinda floppy because we had some pretty good rain last night, but she usually stands at attention during the day.

They for sure appreciate real sunlight, that's maybe the only MJ growing issue I've never seen disputed. Sunlight = Goodness

If you get to the point where you don't have to, or want to move them, set them in a good spot, cut some bigger trangular holes in the bottom of your pails, then mound up mulch around the pots. I can see you have a nice woods behind your area, just rake up a couple wheelbarrow loads and pack the mulch around your pots, to the top. It will keep the roots cool, and roots will shoot out the bigger holes. A potted plant with the sun hitting the bucket is not a good thing. The above ground portion of the plant can handle the sun and heat, the root system likes to be as cool and as moist as possible.

If you ever need to move the pots this will not work at all, that is mulching them in. Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion.
That back area, isn't really good, I added a few yards of topsoil a few years back, and even with that, it was difficult to get Beans, Tomatos, Squash and Jalapenos to grow in it.
I wouldn't mind dumping a few bags of good planting mix in there if not for the neighbor's tree hanging over dropping leaves, and he just built a kids plaything out back that makes the area visible.

Looking good Baka. I would like to drop a couple plants out back. I have an auto diesel I might try this way. My grow closet is going to be very crowded so I'm thinking about my options if things get too tight in there. Your plants give me motivation for an outdoor grow.

Ya man, and.......
Like I mentioned, even with overcast days and the days that are clear, they only get about 5 hours of direct sun, but I can still tell a diff!

Well someone will jump my shit about this but I'll take 5 hours of direct sun over anything electrical, anytime, that I care to TRY to provide indoors.

If you got 5 hours direct Sunlight on your plants, you probably have 4 hours on both the front and back end of "filtered natural light", or partial shade. Still better than anything you can get from a bulb.

Just my opinion. But I love it when I'm right!

Naw, that's exactly what I was getting at.

 

[Bakatare666]

Well, I think the Mendo has just about had it, I let the 2 real leaves get yellow, thinking it was heat I just moved a little farther from the lights (a 26w 2700k flood and 2 13w 5000k CFL's), and waited another couple days while it just got worse and worse, but the yellowing just continued, and by the time I fed her......... Well.........
Too late.
The yellowing has slowed, but the second set of leaves quit growing and she even quit drinking.
She's still standing tall, so I'll take pics and post with the weekly update on Sat., but I don't think she's gonna make it.

Thanks man, ya everything is fine, but I got kinda bored, like you said, it was pretty dead Wed, and Thurs, and I popped in a peeped a couple times today, but not much going on, so I just been doing a couple other things.
I'll be putting up this week's update in a couple hours here, after my camera charges.
How you doing?

 

[giggywatts]

OK, Purple Kush 16 days since flip, Diesel 18 days from flip I think, and bagseed, well, again........ That's just an experiment, LOL.
Some of the branches are thicker than the main stems, since I didn't take care of them after I cut them off.
2 weeks now, and still no indication of sex on the Diesel, but my days are still a few minutes over 14 hours of daylight, according to Weatherbug.
