climate and soil are deffinately a factor but that doesn't mean shit if you don't no what your doing and you have put yourself into these girls and it shows someday i will get there!

Well I've been growing shit for a while

Can't get enough of your pics Con! Beautiful man!

It's a pleasure to have you here, man

Wow Con!

Quite the garden this year. Beauties.

Liking the Leb & UD.....coming along real nice. Good gardening.

Yep these Lebs have very indica column bud structure in the end and very long, twirling calyxes. They are fast flowering too and with this weather they should finish just fine. Hm I've been comparing weather in my valley and Bekaa Valley and main difference is that for them rain stops in May and picks up in October, so the soil has to be dry. But I also read that they still get the mist from somewhere though and it soaks through the soil or whatever. Hmm another thing is that they're also broken into micro climates with north differing from the center and the south. A lot of early flowering varieties that come from Denmark have these genes anyway, cause they're supposedly quite resistant to humid conditions. Well, we'll see

They will flower slowly and take off. I had one this year I thought wasn't going to flower and then I was like boom overnight. Really nice garden. I love this journal!

Yeah the problem here is they're genetically not used to photoperiod on my latitude and we had a hellish summer with RH much below their expectations, so they might take a while, but let's hope it's gonna happen in September

Beautiful update Conrad. Great and happy looking plants! Thanks .

You're lucky they don't need caging - I take it there's no weed munching critters in the area .. Myself, I'm devising simple caging systems in my mind in prep for spring here ..

Yeah weasels and foxes, some rabbits mostly. Nothing that could hurt the plant anyway. Much more insects though, I have a whole wonderland of small, medium and big ones. I always had impression that they caged plants for support not to protect plants from the critters, but maybe if you use tighter mesh it'll work too. Anyway here it's not necessary for animals. I could sure use some support for the bigger plants to stretch them out a little bit, but that might not happen very soon

Yeah - we've watched wallabies cooperate to bust in to a double circle of cage we had around a lemon tree!

Beautiful update Conrad! They all look gorgeous! I really hope you get that Colombian to the finish line. Your UD's look like nice strong plants.....good job on that breeding. How do the do indoors???

 

[Conradino23]

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

I didn't create UD, lem did in his desert garden. I just inbred it to F2 This a strong, early finishing strain indeed, most of these should be ready by 23rd-28th of September. They do very well indoor, 6 weeks on 12/12.

You're near Sierras, aren't you? There must be some of this mountain air affecting you.

yes I'm in the sierra's at 1600' elev. and yes the mountain air effects us it will generally run 10 degrees or more lower than the valley I'm not worried about the skunk and the hash plant the skunk has already been flowering for 5 weeks and the hp at 4 there done in 9 or 10 they'll be done by the end of sept. or the forst of october but the two glues which have been flowering for 1-2 weeks they go 8 so they won't be done until the end of october i might be bringing them in at night if it gets to cold will see how it goes this is kind of a test to see how far i can go,i just hooked up my drip system to them so there taken care of while I'm gone on vacation for 2 weeks i put a brand new inline filter to get rid of the chlorine so thats where I'm at rite now I will be excited to look at mine and yours and everyone else's plants after two weeks there will be a big difference,next season I'm going to put 1 of those uds in a fifteen and lst it across the top of my juniper ground cover thats the only way i can have a big one i will at least 1-2 more short bushes and the five lebby's and that will be all i can get back there,well have good day conrad and take good care of those girls of yours!

You should be ok till mid October probably from what I see it. 1600 feet is not that bad if you don't get snow/frost early on. The New Sunny Spot is maybe 200 feet higher than your garden, but it's also well insulated. I don't really get freezing weather here till December, rains in the 2nd half of October are a bigger problem, but last year it was practically dry fall/winter and it's hard to say which way it's gonna go this year. Well at least you have them on a drip, so you can go on holiday. This is also why I like planting directly in the ground, I can travel whenever I want.

I'd like to show you this Sensi Star by the end of flowering, I think it's gonna be her last week. I've never had more problems with a plant... for real. She had weird veg demands, she was very slow, she was getting stressed frequently (temps, RH, sun, soil) and she was easily stunted when transplanted. In flowering it was slightly better although she got burnt with a CAT drench and there were stressful 3 or 4 days afterwards. But she reacted well to diluted lithothamnium later on and to general temperature drop, which is why I'm gonna let her run full season next year, cause she just has to be flowered in right conditions and she has to have bigger root to cope with the environment.

But I have to say she grows very nice, chunky buds with good trichome coverage. She's slightly leafy, but I haven't tried the bud yet and it might be a surprise. Well like said she just has potential in yield department from what I see. Almost no fan leaves and she just keeps on packing. I also have some good things to say about the terpenes. She started with strong pine/fuel expression then went through tangerine/orange peel period to settle for overwhelmingly sweet strawberry body with pine and aniseed coating. But she also changes a lot throughout a day. Sweet stuff is very strongly expressed during sun hours while fuel/pine dominates after dark and it's constant. Not bad for a half-dead plant

if it goes like normal october is typically upper sixties and low 70s daytime and the nights can get into the forties as long as it doesn't get in the low 40s they will be alright it doesn't normally rain much in october, november is out of the question,i would like to plant in the ground but where i live there are large rocks in the ground it would be very difficult to dig big enough holes for them i have dug some holes for flowers and such but those holes aren't bid enough for these girls you get down afoot or so and run into rock and have actually used a pick to chip it out but your growing in rock,that little sensi is a knarly thing it's probably going o b some good shit there's a grower on here called snarly weed he grew one it looked just as knarly as yours only a lot larger you should check it out he loves it well i'll talk to ya in a couple weeks god growing!
