My Outdoor Garden-2010

A bunch of pix. The earlier set was taken about a week ago. Took a bunch more today, and edited them all.

So far, I see a pretty big reduction in yield in the cage, although the greenhouses are doing about 90% of warmer years. Insects, and a few errors on my part have reduced the potential outdoor yield.

I plant and grow with years like this in mind. Some years are better than others...

East Greenhouse. The last pic is standing outside the door.

The cage. Although yield is reduced, the quality of the buds seems very good. It stinks!

The West Greenhouse. The Bubbleberry X is now occupying more than 50% of the space, having shaded a smaller neighbor to death. The other four plants are occupying the other 40%. The hybrid vigor of the BB X and BB x WW is incredible. I need more room.

Any creature that likes sucking the guts out of living flies is on my favorites list.(I live in dairy country.)

A bit more than 3 inches thick. She's very happy.

The garden is winding down about a month early. Cool weather and bugs took their toll. I really don't like chemical pesticides. I'll be adding a LOT of beneficial insects to the mix next Spring. Sylvester is enjoying the wonderful weather, as are the other cats.

This year with the miosture in the air in the bay area its just been miserable. I have Boytrytis on one of my plants and am having to cut out infected areas on one plant every other day. I am also spraying serenade... seems to be slowing down the budrot and keeping PM at bay all together. This wait until harvest is driving me mad. Just need to hold on a bit further. Hey, the sht weather this year certainly affect yeild, right?

Do you think the shit weather is also going to affect harvest time?

That frosty look is mostly strain related. Back off the water for a couple weeks, but not so much they wilt. Avoid watering at all the last two weeks before harvest(total, 4 weeks of water reduction).

I no longer use carbs. The science behind that practice is iffy, IMO.

If you want to flush your plants, water heavily, daily, the last two or three days before harvest. I don't see the need for flushing in my garden. It doesn't seem to do much.

not looking solid brotha the last 2 pics on september 9 are both males for sure
Sorry, I somehow failed to drop those two.

They're shots of a Trainwreck that has been treated with Silver Thiosulfate. I'm hoping those male flowers will bloom, giving me an endless supply of feminized seeds. This is a tricky technique I've been trying to master for 6 months. This is the closest I've gotten.

Would love to hear about an endless supply of feminized seeds. Great pictures as always VG. Hope you have better luck with the insects next season. I'll be looking for more.

I'll definitely keep you posted if I have success. The process seems touchy.

A few shots from the last few days.

Fuzzy is almost always waiting for me when I go out to the garden. Today he was always close by.

Why there's a shadow on the greenhouse roof.

The East Greenhouse. Everything is filling in, quickly.

The cage is doing well, despite a pretty intense spider mite invasion. I'll probably order a bunch of ladybugs to patrol the greenhouses, until finished.

The Bubbleberry cross just continues to swell. The 4 remaining plants occupy less than half the available space.

Another few weeks!

I'm seeing really good bud density, this year.
