2021 Massachusetts Outdoor Growers
- Thread starter stealthfader508
- Start date
Everything here came through the storm just fine, only thing that came off the plants were yellow and shriveled fan leaves. Chopped the remnants of both male Tirah as I’ve collected enough pollen to fool around with, so it’s just the girls going forward. Saw a caterpillar yesterday and another today so I hit them with B.t. Last year I started with B.t. in early July and there have been many moths and butterflies around this year as well, but I’m just not seeing many of their spawn on these plants. Really my only concern is they need to pick up the flowering pace so I’m not out worrying about frosts in November, lol - they have to be at least three weeks behind my Hawaiian Hashbud X Balkhi cross at the far left. Which I’m happy is throwing out the same lime Margarita smells, as did the two little windowsill plants from this past winter that produced very tasty smoke with nice medicinal effects but not so overwhelming that it precludes daytime use.

I still haven’t fully wrapped the greenhouse but the plants seem happy with my half assed canopy setup in Middlesex County. Bruce’s Ballsack and Love Stash are furthest ahead into flowering with Tranquil Hashplant, Bodega Punch, and the Wizard Punch clone lagging behind. Spraying every 3 days with one of BT, Spinosad, or Doctor Zymes.

“RA” the Sun god has returned! Being 1st time outdoors, gotta say I’m loving the ladies stature! Indoors, up to 48”. Outdoors... literally it seems, skies the limit. I’m on my deck this year given my less than stealth environment and using this ‘21 grow as a dry run for future outdoor grow criteria and edumacation lol but most are at or above ~7’ from soil give or take in 45 gallon pots and in the beginning stages of stacking quite nicely. Special considerations to Bam for the yellow “sticky traps” idea, you can see they’re already paying dividends. Lol Bracing for the home stretch! L-R: Ethos White Wedding, MMS Prayer Pupil, DNA Genetics Holy Grail and the flower to date leader of the pack as of today, Barney’s Farm Runtz Muffin!

Nice! What are you using for application rates on that Langbeinite?
I just soaked some Langbeinite at about 1 Tbsp / 4 gallons water overnight, it dissolved fully.

I had to cut the FloraFlex Matrix and think it could almost use another cut back. Starting to stack nicely but seems a little behind the rest of the recent pictures.

Late October? Hmmm... Temps in late October are arbitrary at best in this neck of the woods. My “White Wedding” is also lagging in flower, not a complete “oh no” but I’m paying attention. Supposed to be an Indica dominant hybrid but ain’t looking that way right now based on the naked eye... it’s tall with some internode spacing, but definitely behind the “pack”.

I'm looking through the Real Seed catalog, whats your thought on their Genetic accuray, delivery etc....
Descriptions are accurate but should be read carefully as some listings are of reproductions done outside of the original source. Excellent customer service as well; the British postal service managed to lose an order and it was replaced without question - and when the original one suddenly showed up over a month later than the replacement one had, his attitude was no worries, keep them.

I just eyeball a half cup or so and work it into top of soil around base of plant.
Your method sounds good too.

Awesome, this was my first time using it. There a noticeable difference or is it just routine?

I have an abundance of seed packs… mostly Mephisto autos and some Wicked Pissah autos that I bought during 2020 (stimulus money supporting small businesses). I likely won’t get around to growing most of them so send a message if you want some for your indoor grow or next years outdoor season. I want nothing in return and will pay shipping. Hope this is allowed

I always mix in dolomite lime at beginning of season and top dress Epsom salt after a month or so for Mg* + Sulfur. I Mix in Langbeinite into topsoil after first few weeks of flower for the K and sulfur.
I don’t have any hard evidence of efficacy, but I do believe that it makes my plants more hardy and supposed to aid terpenes they say.
I do 100% notice that my plant’s leaves’ turn a shade of blue-green after the epsom/Langbeinite applications, which I think is pretty cool.
