Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

That is crazy hot Conrad! I cant say that I can blame that plant for not enjoying those temps. I am unsure how you endure them without melting I dont even enjoy when it gets over 80*F!

I'm used to UD, which came about via SoCal clones grown on a desert, so these plants never make a slightest peep when they get bombarded by heavy sun in the summer, but sadly some strains don't like it

morning conrad im with yeti i dont like anything above 75f its going to be 100 today and tomorrow i guess im living in the wrong place lol,i have no doubt you will bring that girl around with your care,the little ones seem to be doing okay there might be a little leaf curling from the heat but nothing to bad i have sun screen over them in the afternoon!

have a good one!

I actually like when it gets hot, but when it hits around 95F in the shadow like now and you can't enjoy sun anymore, cause you sweat after talking a walk to the nearest grocery shop it stops being funny

I hope it is atleast spf 50

lol i use the same stuff on my bell peppers and tomatoes!

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with shading net again.

keep the little pot cool- maybe bury the pot?..roots are toasting otherwise..

Hmm I cannot really bury the pots on my windowsill, but maybe I can think of cooling them somehow. I might spray or lightly water them twice a day, cause it helps to decrease the temperature significantly I've noticed.

You might want to paint your pots white? That is crazy hot. Mine get pretty warm sitting on the concrete in black pots... Their pots get abit warmer than I care to have but.... GL and Looking forward to seeing some buddage.. Keepem Green

Yeah now I need to come up with a solution after I've found what's been troubling my plants. As far as buddage is concerned Colombian should be finishing soon and Bubba Hash is just starting to flower. Pics to come shortly!

Darwin was right! Natural selection is a real phenomenon and may the best strain prevail with genetics adapted for the climate it is growing in. Will a Malawi be best suited in a tent or in the native country where it thrives? We are trying to bring out the best in every crop. In reality it's a crap shoot but we can draw from our experiences...I'm just tryin to have access to good smoke 24-7. Good journal, diverse genetics, beautiful scenery and tasty food, nothing better than that really. Thanks Conrad

Evening Conradino! Agree with the logic on the lower leaves...but have you considered mulching with something on top of the soil?

I do it on my HB grows, seems to help me, but I know you've got loads more experience. Just thought I'd ask--Cheers!

Question for Brixers, is another CAT drench for sativas in mid flowering any good? I'm thinking about Colombian.

I always give the long bloomers 2 rounds of CAT's. I've even done 3. The 1st I give kinda early to slow the stretch, like it's 2nd and 3rd drench will be CAT. I give the recharge at the same time. I give round 2 of CATs about 6 weeks later and if it is a 15 plus weeker I will give a 2nd recharge then as well and finally hit them with the 3rd with just enough time to switch back to growth to finish on.

Once plants get in the soil, they can deal with hot temps. You dig down 16 inches even on a hot day, it's cool down there. It's the pots that get hot throughout. If it's a container plant, I've always wondered about the tan smart pots and heat. I really can't use smart pots, I've have to put them on pallets to keepem off the concrete,, but for smaller container plants I bet they wood work. Or wrap something on the lighter color around your black pots and keep a good airflow to the bottoms of the pot, like a rack or something. I know that CG is loving them temps. Some strains just down like the heat. Some don't like sun. I've grown some that wood just wilt in direct sun, and looked great as the sunsets. Best luck my Friend and Keepem Green

How's that Sensi Star doing in the heat? Man...the temperature you showed was really up there. I did ok w/ my SS's outdoors even though summer temps here range from 80's to over 100º. The mulch someone mentioned would help. Some silica too. Got any rice hulls? Some on top mixed in a bit would give you both mulch & silica. I used to put the potted ones in semi-shade on days over 100º. The ones in the ground just had to deal with it. Sometimes daily water. Sure you have it in control though.

Bigtime player is RH, sometimes this can really set up what's gonna grow very well and thrive. Malawi and other landrace sativas come from rather humid/tropical climates where moisture is present all the time, it just goes down when wet season finishes... African ones come from more arid zones though, so they should sustain dry conditions too. Colombian or Mexican or South Asian sativas like stable and high moisture content, but they also produce air buds with maybe few Mexican landraces that can produce quite dense (but not hard) leggy colas... yeah it's not so uniform really, so you just need to find the right one for your climate or your tent.

Yeah indeed I did it first thing in the morning

I always give the long bloomers 2 rounds of CAT's. I've even done 3. The 1st I give kinda early to slow the stretch, like it's 2nd and 3rd drench will be CAT. I give the recharge at the same time. I give round 2 of CATs about 6 weeks later and if it is a 15 plus weeker I will give a 2nd recharge then as well and finally hit them with the 3rd with just enough time to switch back to growth to finish on.

I've done the 2nd one and again I saw a visible boost, green and lush new growth. It didn't change the terpenes though. For I don't know maybe 10 days she started smelling like some sweet cinnamon cake, very unique for sure. No glandular trichomes though She's just not producing them... which reminds me of what DJ Short wrote that it was traditional difference between sativa and indica, a hash plant vs. flower plant. And I also found this thing to be amazingly true so far:

The plants from the seeds of the Gold were primarily of Sativa origin. They grew a medium to tall size outdoors at 45?N (Seattle), and were mostly symmetrical. On occasion the symmetry was interrupted by one side outgrowing the other, causing a rounded and bulging tipped bush look. The leaves were long and slender.

ok conrad i put the little ones in the grow room with an led panel on them i want to give them a chance i dont want them to end up like a couple other ones that arent growing so there happy now!

Great

I really can't use smart pots, I've have to put them on pallets to keepem off the concrete,, but for smaller container plants I bet they wood work. Or wrap something on the lighter color around your black pots and keep a good airflow to the bottoms of the pot, like a rack or something. I know that CG is loving them temps. Some strains just down like the heat. Some don't like sun. I've grown some that wood just wilt in direct sun, and looked great as the sunsets. Best luck my Friend and Keepem Green

Yeah there's a real difference between potted plant and that one grown directly. Now it mostly depends on the soil, cause if you're on a desert in Central or Southern California or... well then soil doesn't do so much for you. I'm telling you for the first time in my life I saw orange trees and grape vine on drip But yeah if you have very good soil, then you can basically water plants grown in full sun once in three weeks, when potted ones will never stand a week. And that's why I started mulching in pots too. I have a lemon tree in the garden where whole pot is covered in grass and weeds, but it cools the root system down and provides a protective layer. But I've been mulching since May in The Sunny Spot too, I just felt it might've been a hot summer, so preferred to be safe over sorry. Definitely more shading this season with all plants, which is why I haven't lost the younglings: BlueBerry and White Widow. I think these are the last I'm popping this summer. Both freebies so couldn't hurt. These really have to be treated with sharpness in current conditions, so I move them off the sun at least twice a day. Hardening them off in the sun is a hard part I'm telling you, but these ladies later become hard ass warriors and potency also seems higher. Yeah in general there's such a thing as too much sun, so you have to be careful

Yeah mulching big time and daily watering and some tea. I think I'm gonna go with light surface watering every day until this heatwave breaks a little. My apartment stays around mid 80s even by night now, which is typical for the climate. When temperature settles in it doesn't vary much throughout the day. I've been practically sitting under the fan all the time. It's good it's been raining for a while before, cause it provided some comfort. It's definitely droughtish in big part of Italy this time and they say we're gonna see more of these crazy heatwaves while climate is changing. All around Italy it pushed grape picking season two weeks already and also maturation of many vegetables and fruits. Cannabis could actually address this problem by carbon sequestration., we just need to start growing fields of it

Good gawd man!!! That's crazy tough. I sometimes find that it's a matter of just keeping young ones alive during a heat stretch. More mature plants don't seem as hard hit, but it'll sure kick a baby's ass in a hurry.

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Wow...I think I'D be melting at those temps....I would strongly suggest white pots. I kill off Japanese knot weed by choping it back and covering the ground with black plastic...cooks the roots to jelly in a few days. Those black pots are concentrating all that heat and transferring it to the soil.

Not trying to be a nudge, and I know you've been growing MUCH longer than I. Only trying to help.

Yeah I'm extra careful with my seedlings now.

I just might spray all my big pots white next season, cause now it's a little bit too late, but I'm mulching and it should do the job

And here are few pics o probably the smallest harvest I ever had. They're just starting curing, still too fresh to be smoked, but I kept the trim and I'm gonna try it soon

ill bet its good your gunna wish there was more lol,i just harvested a few autos and two of them were 6,7 grams those were my smallest harvest thus far!


satay cool!

And here are promised pics of gals in flower.

CG '72 is basically a jungle of foxtail buds.

Bubba Hash started flowering and shows typical indica buddage.

And here are the seedlings of BlueBerry and White Widow, both freebies from Seedsman.

Ok have a good one

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

That CG is going to be awesome.

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

I definitely hope so, she's taken quite a bit of my time and space
