I always spray my babes with Neem Oil b4 a rain storm for this very reason, the oil don't allow the rain to penetrate to any degree, also great against mold, is organic too

Lol the storms hitting NZ alright mate. That's the big yielding Panama pink.
Wonder how everyone's plants will handle this weather. They can't handle people making money with no tax spazatak
This is the reason I don't grow indicas that past mid march. Panama and Malawi will be fine with rain, the need a good soaking too.

Wow CK amazing plants bro! That Panama makes me drool, its already sooo forsty lol So the Malawi are flowering now right? I can see all your 18 pics they came out for me. Ill chuck a big update up on Monday
Yeah mornings arent to bad, theyve been around 7 - 10 but picked up to 10 - 12 now. Well get frosts down here we always to but not this early, certainly latter in the season though. Common as strains the old white rhino and white widow and all that ae? I wanna grow some original Acapulco gold one day, first major hybrid?
Sure are expensive ae but worth it in the long term. How much will those Panama yeild each? Looks like youl get heaps! Might head to garden barn next week and try to find something organic higher in P and K. Is P good for finishing of? Seen a few caterpillars on my plant so I just killed them while I was chopping the balls of. Nice hash bro Im missing out.... Never had hash.
Id have to agree with weed being stronger outdoors, that makes sense because its evolved for the full spectrum of the sun. Looks defiantly aren't anything Ive defiantly had avergae looking weed that's got me alot more whacked then some of the frosty indoors. Just goes back to the old saying don't judge a book by its cover
Yea Ived heard NZ outdoor weed is considered some of the best in the world. Must have pretty good sun shine over here hahahHope you guys go all right with the rain up there, I think well only get the side of it down here and it shouldn't be to humid and wet so I shouldn't get any budrot down here with my plant. Sativa dom so should be algood, its mostly the wind ive gotta watch out for. Goodluck guys whens the storm due? Also I got my 420 scope today so Ill chuck some pictures up latter.

Re: NZ's Highly regarded outdoor
Maybe it's the hole in the ozone layer? I understand that we get a ton more UV than the northern hemisphere - and lots more than close neighbours in the Pacific like the Cook Is. My family based in the Islands are always careful about sunburn when they come over
Hmmmm. 40% more exposure?
CannaNerds are always raving about high grown varieties in the Pakistani-Hindu region - some claim because of the high UV exposure at altitude the plant are especially wonderful.
I'm not sure how UV expposure changes with latitude in NZ, but back of envelope calculation assuming CancerSoc's "40% more UV" was accurate we're essentially growing in NZ at sea level with the same UV exposure as someone in the Northern Hemisphere growing at 3000 metres - high enough to cause altitude sickness. To find plants with greater levels of exposure to UV in the northern hemisphere you'd need to find a grow op run by Nepalese Sherpa.
Take it with a pinch of salt...

NZ sun is far more intense than overseas, a legit 25 degree day feels like a 30+ day in say egypt or Mediterranean.
I think the plants pump out more resin due to the intensity of of the sun as a defence mechanism, need to protect those pistils so they can be pollinated.
Tauranga has some of the worst skin cancer in NZ. Even in winter when the sun is shining it can still be hot.
I'm getting about 7-9 uv index ratings at the moment which is fairly high for march.

massive wind and rain here.. my baby is still ok lol i was worried all night about the wind but its still standing. shook off the water but its getting loads more anyway. might do it again whenever the rain stops (if it does) also hoping the wind doesn't get stronger!

all that extra uv must expalin why all you kiwis are mad as cut snakes, been left in the oven too long hahahhaha.
nah it totally makes sense i know bodhi grows all his landrace sativas under MH lights instead of HPS lights because MH packs more UV

Thanks man, the pink Panama makes me drool too especially when you put you nose up to it. This is the nicest looking/smelling strain I've grown, the pink big bud pheno is the frosty and faster one. Malawis are flowering alright, check the latest pics to see the pistils pouring out. keen to see your plant too.Wow CK amazing plants bro!

Yeah my mornings are warm again at around 13-16. We can get some good frosts too but I haven't seen a proper one in years, like crunching ice on the ground or a thick layer of ice on the car windscreen lol. Must be warmer up in the valleys. Yeah skunk#1,rhino,widow,ak,northern lights,jack herer are all common NZ cuts, sometimes a bit of blueberry.
Yeah it's expensive if you buy it all, I'm trying to be more organic these days. Panamas won't yield much being stunted from the vine hoppers, still get some out of this world smoke. I'll be happy with 5 premium Panama oz's plus I get to try 3 different phenos, I'm gonna have to pollinate the big pinky with some Malawi pollen. Yeah get some organic shit high in phosphorus, basically 0 N and a bit of potassium. Your plant won't need any N for the last 3 weeks.
Looks is just cosmetic, all that landrace sativa looks leafy and low quality most of the time but will kick your ass harder than indoors. We can produce weed on the same level as Hawaii,Jamaica or any other volcanic Islands. Volcanic regions + intense uv = magical shit! tenacious d sang a song about how good our weed was lol.
It's hitting now with some strong winds but metservice reckons there will be 100 km gusts today! I'm more worried about wind than rain and I know Malawis will be sweet as. Just the Panama that I'm worried for because they;re not the strongest looking plants.
Skunk#1? probably just a made up name from a grower that grows an indica based strain. there's no official NZ skunk from any breeders.
Hope that helped.
High winds is goodish for you man, it'l help prevent mold as it'll blow moisture out but I aint keen on these 100km gusts! the max gust I've got is 59kmh and it was pretty strong.
either that or because of meth lol this country is bad as for p in the last 15 years.
Yeah MH kicks ass, I like looking at buds under a MH instead of HPS.

Nice. I heard it's a pretty low yeilder which is why i only have one of them going but the smoke is top notch.
I'll post some pics of the indoor buds when it's done, see how they compare

Sounds good, yeah the buds do seem small but I think they will be really dense and potent

Yeah skunk #1. Part of the reason NZ is well known for its outdoors imo. Was under the impression this was from back in the late '80's that it was highly regarded rather than now.

Potency is a guarantee from what i hear. It's supposed to be some bomb ass smoke.Sounds good, yeah the buds do seem small but I think they will be really dense and potent
