Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

I'm going to have a wonderful weekend! Got offered overtime at work, and I am hopping onto that train for sure. Double time on Sunday! LOL And a lovely surprise at my door today that you will all hear about very soon. ;-)

Sorry to hear you are stuck at work LA, and no meds around for weeks???? Dang dude, you need to get something done about that!

Hi Tassie, hope you get snow if that's what you want. If you don't want it, I've been searching for years to find a way to make it stop. I have not found a way. LOL (and love your new avatar)

Hi Dennise!

Hi everyone!

So, no new babies. Got me to wondering. I may have slowed these seeds down inadvertently. I like to analyze when things don't go as expected and there is one thing I did after planting that may have caused how slow these are. I sprayed the top soil with the SNS gnat spray when I was spraying the herb plants. I noticed a couple of gnats flying around in there, so got right on it.
I hope that the gnat spray in the soil did not kill the seeds.
I went digging on one of them, found the seed and the taproot is out just a little and looks okay. SO hopefully it just slowed them.

If all else fails and the seeds don't mature, I will drop some more and still be good to go time wise.
I do have 3 up and growing, and two more just about to break soil. So I will certainly have enough plants, there are two fresh ones that don't have the SNS on the soil that should be sprouting soon.

Anybody have any thoughts on the SNS gnat spray? Will it kill them?

Edit: I read the container on the SNS 203, and it is supposedly safe for soil drenching and lightly spraying foliage. It says do not spray on buds or flowers. So....it shouldn't have hurt them.

Thanks Jaga. :)
4 of the Wildlings got their own pots last night. They seem to be doing well so far, and clear of critters. :)

I'm not sure if I am going to tackle untangling that group of 6 Wildlings or not. I could do it, but I'm not sure where the heck I would put them when things start to growing here. Conundrum.....I'll chew on that a while. LOL

Still waiting on the other Cash crop seed. Nuttin....I might drop another in water if it doesn't pop by Friday. I fear if I give up too early, I'll wind up using the final seed without needing to.

Hope everyone had a great day.

I'm up against the same thing. I have two of 9 that haven't popped in almost two weeks. I think I should listen to the obvious message and drop two more seeds to replace them. Just haven't found the time.

Thanks for the links Canna. I'll look them over. Unfortunately they're scheduling the amputation of my husband's other leg in the next couple days, so I'll have to put it off just a bit longer than I'd like.

Great work on untangling the wildlings. I'm way too far behind in your journal Canna. I'll try to get caught up tonight. You're having too much fun to miss. :laughtwo:
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Sue,

My heart weeps for you and at the same time asks for strength for you to lean against me and pray that I can stand up....I, too am facing my own family and personal issues that don't even have words for me right now, so namaste :Namaste:

We're having a frost tonite, Sue, Lord have mercy, have planted nothing and the patios and porches are still bare....
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Shawnee, sending energy to help you stand strong as well. You know you can do it. You're one of the strongest women I've met here. The wellspring in you is deep. Hugs. Bigger, longer hugs.

Ranger puts out the most amazing energy. Pull from that. I can't believe how effectively he's helped me. Way beyond anything I've ever experienced.
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Wow, Sue, shocked at your words totally....am all embarrassed and humbled to the max...no way...about what you say about me...thanks, actually, that shocks me that you say that...I wonder why or how....

Ranger does get me and my vibe, totally, I told him that early on in his journal that I felt a very cool vibe in his space...

I'm lovin it....
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

You have a strong energy Shawnee that can't be contained any more than I can I reign in my joyful exuberance, which I often think you guys must get tired of. I'm thankful you don't, because this is really me and I don't know how to play any other track.

My best friend calls me every day as she drives to work so we can do that joy thing and get her laughing before the realities of the job hit. Yesterday she quoted a bumper sticker that immediately made me think of you.

"Well-behaved women never make history."

See? Nothing well-behaved about us at all, eh? Makes me laugh right out loud. :laughtwo:
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Sue,
My heart goes out to you for sure. I took care of an Uncle last year that had to have a leg amputation during his stay here. You are strong, and it will be needed.
Bless you!

Hopefully your little ones will break soil, if not there's back up seeds. Thank goodness. :) I'm heading into the grow room to see if there's any babies right now. When I get out of work later I'm heading straight for the woods to see if there's anything new out there too.
I think these plants came from one that had bolted on me last year, I do remember seeing some seeds on it during a chop....I would have to go back through my previous journal to be sure. Regardless, it appears one of those plants had seeded any maybe dropped some into the soil without my noticing. That's the only thing I can figure.

Love to you and Shawnee!

Ah...encouragement....it's a good thing.

One of the Buddha seeds has finally broke soil. YEY!

Okay the former place known as "Chicken Prison" is in the remodel stage to become "Wildlings Cannabis Haven".

This area is going to work out great. It doesn't need near as much weeding as I had thought. Just a few to yank and rake that soil around a bit, and I'm good to go! The soil looks great in there.

There will be a door where the opening is that will be locked. The old door rotted off the hinges. There is also chicken wire on top to keep birds and coons out. Needs a little repair, but not too much. :)

And one more sheet of trellis to get out of the barn, tack them up and my cover is great.

I took a trek to the woods and didn't discover any new stray wildlings, so it looks like I caught them all in time.

I agree with Radogast, this is going to be fun in the sun.

Hanging in the barn, Canna, help yourself.....

Very nice. I hope your Wildlings will like their new home and that they will make you very happy one day. :blushsmile:
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Good morning Canna :)

Mannnnn.....those Wildlings are gunna love all that poo....oh man oh man....

I'd suggest at some stage in the future you are going to need a second sheet of trellice :) Seriously :)

..l.umm unless you already said that..


Great Spot :)

OH Man I am so excited :)

(really love organic outdoor in old chicken sheds...I've seen a couple :) )
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

Thanks everybody. This is going to be so exciting to try. I've always wanted to do an outdoor grow. :)
I'm figuring let the plants get 5-6" tall before planting? For sure after the final frosts are over. Should be a couple weeks at the most.

Now, I'm trying to decide how much space to give between plants. If I am correct on the strain of these (white widow), they will grow very tall and spread out quite a bit. The area is about 10 x 14 feet, I'm guessing. Will measure for sure tomorrow.

I'm going to use good black soil that I have left here from a local nursery when I fixed up an area of the lawn, (damn, that stuff is expensive!) mix some perlite and some vermiculite in. I'll dig the holes for the plants, loosen the dirt at the bottom and sides then fill with the black soil mix to plant them in. And I won't jump up and down on the edges to pack the soil around them like I'm seating fence posts. ;-)
Then top them with the soil mix.

That's the plan so far. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Taz,

Yep, I have another sheet of trellis ready and waiting. :) The stuff has a bow in it from leaning on the barn wall. I can't nail it onto the enclosure at the moment, it's old and will probably split if I try to force it. so I'm going to have to zip tie it to the fencing until it bows back inward, then I can tack it down.
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

And just so's ya knows....I didn't keep the bad chickens penned up in that one little area all day. There is another fenced in corridor off that which goes right into the barn through a hole I cut in the wall, bypassing the area where the good hens were laying eggs. They had lots of space, and enjoyed outdoors too. These were bad little hens that were eating eggs. Once one of them starts doing that, the others will follow along.
Easy to spot the culprit after seeing the broken eggshells in the nests, they would have egg yolk on their beaks. LOL
That corridor will make a good grow space too...someday.
 
re: Cannafan's Return To Growing - Autos Indoors - Purples & Wildlings - Outdoor Grow

THey got a taste...that sorta chicken ends up being chicken soup round 'ere :)


On the planting..

Down here...everything is after the frosts.

IMHO, just put them out when the chance of being killed by temps is over ....they will go ballistic in the chicken coop ....that my friend I assure you of...100% ...oh canna this is tassie's favourite...

When I used to rent...I'd get the place with the old chicken shed...always enclosed....deeply manured....it was rent and smoke for free :)

You're gunna snow yourself when they take off! :)

Have I talked it up enough yet :)

I'm excited for ya :)


Nice thinking on the lattice.

I've often 'corrected' bent timber by...support it each end wit the timber horizontally, the bow up. let gravity take the bow out...not in the sun...pulls moisture out of the timber at different rates (sunny side vs not sunny side) and the strips will bow all over the place. Watch the bow over the next couple of days...you can weight the centre of the bow to force faster flattening.


You've plenty of time anyways to get it flat enough to nail up :)


TTFN, Its time to go and play in the garden :)

Happy days, hugs mate :Love:

Thanks Taz, so encouraging. One thing is certain....there is still plenty of old chicken poo in the barn stall to last a few years of fertilizing. :laughtwo: No bat guano needed here...
