Canuck Seeds Summer 2022 Outdoor Grow

[Slingbladesax]

Hey guys, it's been a couple years since I have been growing, I am back at it now with my first outdoor grow.

Seeds are from canuck seeds, strains are five Quarter Pounder's and one is Blueberry.

Quarter pounders are autoflowers, the Blueberry is not.
Soil is a mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forrest and Fox Farm Happy Frog.
Source of light is the Sun.
3 gallon and 7 gallon fabric pots.
Planted all between June 13 and June 19 on various days.
Grown in lovely Alberta, Canada.

Looking good and nice start to your grow journal.
I see it has been a couple years since you played in the dirt.

Glad to see you are back at it.

Stay safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..

Your seedlings are cute. They look vibrant and happy! I am jealous of your light source. Seriously though, I envy everyone who has the space and ability to grow outdoors. I look forward to watching them thrive.

Thanks everyone! Here's a update we are at about 3 weeks old at this point and everything is looking good so far.
Usually where I live in Central Alberta we get alot of sunny days but this year has been a ton of rain so I have been moving them into my shed with my hlg quantum board led light when it's raining. They look a little droopy but I took these pictures just before they went to sleep for the night.

Got to spin them through the day ot else they really want to lean towards the angle of the Sun. Looking really nice and healthy!

Sounds like our summer last year. Way more rain than usual, right through September.
Glad you have a good place to put them when it rains!

I really like but what if you guys get super cold September into October will they be done by then? I’m in Ontario

Usually it's really hot here in September and does not start to get kinda cold until mid to late October. The autoflowers should be done mid September though and well for the Blueberry well hopefully we get a long fall to bloom.

Here we are just over 3 weeks old and looking green and healthy, loving the Alberta sunshine. Sunshine and tap water because I'm lazy, but I will start adjusting my pH very soon.

 

[Slingbladesax]

So looks like I have a couple potential issues. Seems a leaf or two on a couple of the plants have something eating little holes but I do not see any bugs.

Also my big blueberry is starting to turn light green on some of the new growth, my guess is it's nitrogen deficiency from not adjusting the pH in my water.

The 3rd thing is a couple of autoflowers already have some hairsnstarting to show and they are just shy of being a month old.

The gender reveal is one of the most exciting periods of the entire grow. They still look healthy. The holes and chunks on the leaves almost look like physical damage that has healed. I've seen some leaves do that that get banged around a bit and bruised. I've done that by moving pots around and pinching leaves that hang over between the pots. Have you looked at the underside of the leaves. If its tiny munching insects they usually chill on the underside.

Actually I haven't checked underneath the leafs, thanks I'll do that today!

Thank you! I have the new Samsung galaxy s22 ultra and it takes amazing photos and video!

Here we are about a month old give or take a few days. Couple of the autos already look like they are transitioning to flowering.
Found a couple tiny white/Grey bugs or mites on the leafs that I squashed with my fingers.
Topped the big blueberry last night, first time topping a plant so fingers crossed.

 

[Slingbladesax]

Little family photo update. Roughly day 40 for these ladies. Bugs seems to still be eating the odd hole through a leaf but seems to be going good since I killed a couple of them.

Day 43-ish

The auto quarter pounders looking good. Nice buds starting to grow.
Been battling thrips for the past week or 2.

Topped the big blueberry again. Keep it nice and bushy.
Bugs seem to be under control.
