First Timer - Outdoor, Jock Horror, raised bed, legal (comments welcome)

looking really good. you are going to have a good harvest, my indoor crop seems to be perfectly inline with peoples outdoor crops right now such as yours...figures when I get pieces of everyones outdoor harvest I will finally have my indoor harvest, basically lowering the value of my harvest.

They looks awesome bro! Excellent branching. I've never tried it, but Nirvana's Jock Horror seems like a great strain. Everyone who grows it seems to like it. It's definitely on my future grow list. I have their Northern Lights going right now and I'm not really liking it. If I would have known Jock stays so bushy outside I would have def went with that instead I was thinking about giving their auto Jock Horror a try, but their autos just came out and I want to wait and see how they are first. That one looks like it is starting to flower. Is that the only one? I'm sure you probably know this, but they are probably going to be MONSTERS by the time they finish. If you are anywhere is the continental US, they should all start flowering in the next month.

BTW those raised beds are sweet bro. I'd love to be able to grow right in my own yard rather than have to go guerilla out the woods. Nice basil plants too, haha, you must be Italian. Growing basil is almost like an unwritten rule for Italian people, lol.

Thanks for checking out my grow! I really can't wait to smell the buds. If I get the harvest I am hoping for, the smell of my drying room is going to be orgasmic. I really have no idea what to expect for yield. I am just trying to keep them healthy and hope for the best. If I hit 6 feet I would be thrilled, especially with how close the nodes are. My plants could be staying so compact because the sun is so intense where I am. The next three days are all going to be over 110 F. HOT HOT HOT! I wasn't even sure plants would grow in this intense, dry, south west heat. Sometimes I feel bad for them baking out there but they just soak it up.

All of my plants have the white hairs and I think the pictures where I circled the pistils are actually from different plants. How will I know when they are flowering? I kind of want to keep track of how long the flowering period is. Anything I should be looking for?

You nailed the italian thing. I had to laugh at that. I just cut the basil way back though which was good for two reasons: I had delicious pesto tonight and that tall skinny girl gets more light at the lower branches. Seriously considering chopping my tomatillos. I did chop one last week and the other two may be next. They are so big and seem to be taking some growth away from the plant on the far right and well, as much as I wanted tomatillos, my ladies come first.

I just read through your whole grow. Can't believe you can smell yours from so far away! I literally have to get my nose right next to the stem to smell anything. When I rub the stem I can get a really wonderful and intense smell, but I can't even smell them when I'm standing right next to them. Oh well, probably for the best with my surroundings. Just hope I get some stanky buds.

That's too bad about the northern lights. I saw how that one snapped. Those pics you posted on the 10th are bad ass though. That is what I thought mine were gonna look like, but I ended up with these short bushy girls. Can't believe your purple man. 6 feet! Mine are barely 3!

Those bugs were fucking wild! I never knew something like that existed. I would be gutted to see my biggest girl being eaten from the inside out. Disgusting little shits. Overall though, I can't believe how healthy everything looks. I have to give you props for the guerilla grow. I'm out there every day checking for things (sometimes I think I just make things worse). Reading about you hauling water and digging holes and whatnot REALLY makes me appreciate my raised bed and auto timed drip system.

Anyway, I'll be keepin tabs on your grow. It's clear and easy to read. Someone went to college.
Keep the pictures coming too! You need to get that macro mode going on. I get as close as i can to where my camera will still focus and then enlarge them on the computer. That pic you took of the low girl looked real nice though. Lots of crystals. I can't wait to start snapping some buds!

Thanks for stopping by, feel free to post anytime. I always like hearing feedback, comments, advice, etc. The two nameless ones from the outdoor mix are the 6 footers, the purple is "only" about 5'. I kind of wish they were shorter and bushy like yours. I did a lot of reading about Jock Horror and from what I gather there are 2 different phenos. The one is taller and has more of a haze smell and taste. The other is shorter and bushier with more of a fruity citrus taste and a shorter flowering time.

Yeah that drought was killing me with humping all that water, but as much as I might complain about it, I don't mind. Something about this just fascinates me. I'm actually thinking about going much bigger next year if all goes well. Still trying to get the macro thing dialed in. I think I'm just going to by a new camera soon. It's old anyway.

Pesto, eh? I love basil, but not too big of a fan of pesto for some reason. For an Italian guy, you'd think I'd love it, haha. It's great in almost anything, but I think one of my favorites is chopping it up nice and fine for brushetta.

That will be amazing if this plant can survive throught those 110 degree temps. Ill definitly be keeping an eye out on this! Looks great so far!
