Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 2, 2010

Anyone have any plans for outdoor grows in MN this year?

I will be Putting out Super Lemon Haze, Blue Cheese, and Phatt Fruity out in west central MN around the end of May.

Just wondering if anyone else is gonna be under the sun in the land of 10,000 lakes in 2010 :leaf:

yeah bud! ive been looking for a mn post on this site! glad to see your start date. Its my first time n ive heard so many different times to start. i was also thinking late may since its still chilly n the suns not too intense. Any trade secrets to know for a good harvest in the best state in the us?

lol i will be growing in mn as well

Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 16, 2010

Hey Marco and Beaner, Good to see some others gonna try it outdoors in this beautiful state. Any plans for strains you're gonna try as the season can be quite short?

marcopolo1166 · May 16, 2010

ak-48 supposedly an early finisher. and ice. both from nirvana

Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 16, 2010

I've heard good things about both of those. Tomorrow I think I'm gonna try to get out to my spot, I've already dug the holes, but now I'm gonna add perlite and blood meal and maybe bone meal also. I just wanna get that stuff in before I put the plants out so there is less of a chance they will be dug up by some critters.

Fuck yeah guys! Ive been waiting for a MN thread. Im also around west central MN and I started out with 25 seeds about a month and a half ago and have 7 solid plants right now. I want to get in the ground in the next day or two here so im def. scribed.

Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 17, 2010

Welcome welcome, I knew I wasn't the only one. What have you got for strains Outdoorsman? Even grown successfully outside here?

The Outdoorsman · May 19, 2010

Hey vanwinkle sorry bout the wait. I germed 5 of each: Auto blueberry, Auto White Moscow, Shiva XXX, G13, Bubblegum. All except the bubblegum were from http://www.420discreteseeds.com which has the best prices on seeds that i could find.

And to answer your question this is my first attempt with marijuana, hope vegetable garden experience comes in handy.

Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 19, 2010

well it sounds like you picked some winners, I think autos are a good idea for this area, never tried them myself. I've got a good feeling about this year though!

The Outdoorsman · May 20, 2010

Yeah im just hoping i can get a decent yeild off them. im putting them in the ground today, it looks like one plant is already budding at a month and half?? thought it was leaf growth but i think one of the autos made it. Im getting a camera in the next couple so i will have pics of where i started them under my fish tank( Very good spot i must say), and pics of the plants. Anyone using nutrients?

Rippedvanwinkle77 · May 24, 2010

Well I finally made it out to the plot today, I added perlite, and some blood meal to the soil that I had put out about a month ago. Pretty nice day definitely was sweating, mosquitoes were not really out yet, but the wood ticks are really bad had one on my shoulder that just wouldn't let go.

Favre2Harvin · May 24, 2010

Yeah today it hit 95 degrees the news said it was a new high

The Outdoorsman · May 25, 2010

Plants have been in the ground 4 or 5 days now. I have 3 plants grouped in one spot that gets alot of light, then 4 plants in the woods grouped in twos that get moderate light throughout the day. I checked on the 4 in the woods yesterday and they had fattened up and grown a couple inches, the only problem ive run into is all the nosey deer that are walking inches away from my plants and disturbing them. I put a little of my Goldens hair around the area, pissed a bit and had a string of fishing line wrapped around the perimeter. Does anyone know of an effective, discrete solution for keeping away these Deer???

Oh they exist! i have been looking for a MN growers thread, this is my first year growing hoping it turns out good. I already have a few 3-4week old seedlings outside in my "patch in progress" but they are coming along slowly due to this hectic spontaneous weather we have been getting. Another note, i am trying to find effective means of keeping deer away, i wana put up 4ft tall chicken wire fencing, but it kinda takes away from the stealth :/

Yep there's a few of us, I looked around for a while too couldn't find any info so I made this thread. I have seen a lot of deer trails around my spot no actual deer tho. I wanted to wait until there was plenty of other vegetation for them to eat instead of my ladies. I've got a nice clearing in some trees that runs east to west on a south facing hill so they will get direct light pretty much all day.

What are you running for strains ICantBelieveItsNotBud?

I am just doing some bagseed, i have 1 lanky kinda sativa looking one, and 3 healthy nice indicas (although they are healthy they are only like 6" tall) and 2 crappier bagseed seedlings
