Anyone plant outside yet? I think I’m gonna give it a couple more weeks

i usually watch the upcoming low temps when deciding to go out .. if I see nightime temps won't be falling below 50 for the foreseeable future I'll start hardening them off ... in SE mass it's looking like I could be there thurs or friday ...I'll prob let them spend the days in the greenhouse starting later this week, and then in the ground early next week

I still only have five of my eight outdoor plants figured out yet ... so far my definite outdoor keepers are Lip Smacker (Exotix), Booger Sugar (Envy), Grape Pupil (MMS), Bubba Kush (Ace), and MOB (TH) ... these are all huge already and will be the first to go out... I had really high hopes for Putang (MMS) and have a couple going now from seed, but they're really weak and I'm just not sure I can dedicate a spot to them... in fact I started a shitload of MMS strains over the winter.... and other than the Grape Pupil, they've all been extremely disappointing... I'm starting to think that dude just got lucky with star pupil, and is now trying to cash in on one-off crosses, with no work or testing involved

I did top my plants, thinking I will top a second time after 3 new nodes grow from the first topping. This is Pineapple Upside Down Cake from (HSC)...

These two have been getting ready to go outside (AK-47 on the left and Purple Haze on the right), but I'll probably wait another 2 weeks. the AK had a rough start because I accidentally broke one cotyledon off, but she is slowly catching up with the Purple Haze. I also just started germinating some Durban Poison auto seeds today that will also go outside this year.

I started 2 Lemon Autos and 2 Critical Purple Kush which sprouted April 12th. I have been keeping them under just a T12 shop light and bring them outside during the day when the weather is good. I feel the autos arent getting enough quality sun so I just hooked my MH light up to give them more help at night. As the CPK grows im taking clones to save seeds.

Getting excited seeing everyone getting their starters ready! Prepped my super soil mix today and filled the pots. I have a feeling it's gonna be a pretty hot so I wanted to give it a couple weeks to mellow down. I've got a Katsu Key Lime Pie and Mephisto Forgotten Cookies x Forum Stomper just itching to go outside. Going to drop a Mephisto Skywalker to go out mid June as well to experiment with a staggered harvest.

I'm on the South Shore and it's been cold and wet here. I can't wait for the weather to warm up because I refuse to buy more pellets for my stove. My yard is a mud pit, too.

Since I enjoyed last years outdoor grow Thread, following my fellow massholes, I decided to start this years. Last year was my first real outdoor grow and I enjoyed it more than I ever did 10 years of indoor. I had a great harvest and will have enough to supply me thru next harvest season.

I decided the best way to spend my “quarantine” was to start prepping my garden. It’s about 6 weeksish till I want to plant my seeds, so today I cleaned out old litter and debis that gathered over the winter. I already picked up most of the supplies I’ll need to refresh the soil. Just waiting on a delivery of Organic compost to get here. I’ll need about a yard of it for my 10x10 bed. I figure I can mix it all up now and add it as a topsoil, cover it up and let it sit for 4-6 weeks. Worked great last year.

still haven’t decided on strains yet but I think I’m gonna try autos early spring this year and plant some reg photo plants in July. That’s when I planted last year and they got bigger than I needed anyway. Anybody with experience with autos around here outdoors?

So let’s hear what your plans are for this year! Great time to be stuck at home. Take extra care of your gardens! Hard work now will reward you later. Happy growing!

It’s been awhile, hope everyone is healthy and safe. Time to finally get outdoors. Yeah. I Did some indoor over the winter ( pic) Some Cinderella XX came out ok. Glad to see you guys are still showing off the Ma gold. I started early, maybe too early. With some XX clones. Put them out and within an hour, some sunburning. I hope I didn’t stress them out to bad. (Pic).

First four plants went in the ground today ... they've been outside for 4 or 5 days in pots and it's unreal how much they grew in that time ... they love the sun ... hopefully they like having more room for their feet ... pulling new plastic tomorrow morning

In the ground so far ... Bubba Hash, Grape Pupil, Lip[ Smacker, Booger Sugar
