Those manipuri are getting huge! Hopefully they start flowering soon for you.

The purple is cool looking. Pink pistols as well. That's an UD right? That's killer looking. Do you know if it's an f2 or f3? If I remember correctly the ones you planted got mixed up. I'm itching to try them out. I have 5-6 f2 and f3 UD seeds. I'm thinking about running all the f2 at once and open pollinating them to generate a bunch of f3s so that I have plenty to work with.

Looking good Con!

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

Ok so here's an update from The Northern Slope. First things first this spot is a complete surprise. I grew few times on this side of the valley, but never in a relatively open space like that and what I see exceeded my expectations, which were VERY low to begin with. On the top of that we've had a weather break recently with some rain that sent day temps tumbling down to low 70s and night ones to mid 50s and that kind of worried me cause this is September like never before until I saw these. I think I'll be welcoming cooling down from now on After the rain few were down laying on blackberry bushes, so I lifted them. I also found a few bud worm holes, but no serious damage and no mould. All buds are UDs, Manipuris are not flowering yet. You can see nice purpling on one of the buds, which I never had before on this strain and it's very cool.

Ok, here they are.

Those bamboo looking Manipuri look like they want to go until December.

And then this beauty pops up! wow.

And shows purple!

I look forward to the day when you can grow in the open. These UnderDawg are beauties and you treat them right.

That purple one is F2 I think, it should be Chem pheno. It usually shows pinky pistils, but it's the first time I saw it changing colour. There is some purple genetics in this strain, but it needs lower temps to come out, which I usually don't have in September.

Thx a lot guys, first chop is definitely coming. Tomorrow I'm going to check on the other patch, cause Lebs should be getting ready, I just need to look at the trichs.

Rad, I wouldn't count on any earlier date than December with these Manipuris, Colombians too probably. Well as soon as I get UDs I'm gonna prepare them well for the winter. As long as there's no serious frost they should be fine.

Lovely update Conrad - the plants are all looking so good ..

Growing stealthy like that, it must be such a joy when you trek to them and find them there, and healthy!

Yeah it's always a relief, but really after August it's just waiting until they're ready. October is sometimes rough if rainstorms with strong wind hit out of a sudden. Once I had to stake them in the middle of a hellish storm. It rained for few days in a row and they were like 12' plants. Well wind, humidity and mould resistance is crucial for me here, weak plants just won't make it.

Now it's supposed to calm down for a while, some more sunny weather, so I'm preparing the drying room. I'm quite happy with what I saw today also terpenewise. The New Sunny Spot will get checked tomorrow and I hope there's not much to do, but I'll get my tools just in case

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

your rite i should have cut it before i went out of town and hung it in my garage refer it had a lot of white pistils so let it go, my experience with autos is that they do that they will quickly be done i thought i would get away with it chop tomorrow morning before sun!

I never grew a Purple Trainwreck from HSO, but I grew their fem Trainwreck, which was pretty good sativa-dominant plant. Some strains just herm often not being screened properly by the breeder. Well if you know it herms you stay away and you move onto the next one. I don't know how sensitive Arcata clone is, I think it's a rare cut at this point. Some hoarded clones unfortunately deteriorate with time and they start going intersex due to many factors.

There is a breeder that goes by the name of CSI:Humbolt and he made mention of the purple trainwreck in particular having issues with herms. I cannot recall if it was him or someone else that stated that a lot of breeders use the Arcata cut and that he found a better cut that does not tend to have the hermaphroditic tendencies that the Arcata cut does. I have seen one strain I had run many many clones of start to herm after it had been rock solid stable for the 4 years i had it before that. I let it go and even with the herm issues I regret it.

Lmao neighbors

The lesbos were amusing. One was afraid of men and avoided me all the time. The other one stomped around in overalls, smoked Tiparillo cigars (gag) and talked to me mano a mano. She was the one that told me about finding the 'lombo plant in the abandoned house on the lot. That lot was a half acre and the house was a big Italian built thing in the 1940s. I lived in the back in a studio and the lesbians lived in front. There was a detached garage that the owners used for storage and at the back of that was a small old house from the 1920s that was left abandoned with no windows and a leaky roof. It was the perfect place to grow weed, with south facing spaces where the windows once were. The old floor was rotted out, and I could have planted weed in the ground there. But I used pots to grow weed in like I still do now. The lot had apple trees and roses galore to hide the old house from the back alley.

I had it made then. I was a chef at a restaurant on Cannery Row and that apartment overlooked what is now the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Monterey Bay. I could see all the way to Santa Cruz on a clear day or night. I think I paid like $200 a month for that place. My then GF and I cleaned up the rose gardens and the owner's mother fell over when she saw the gardens weeded and pruned. She bought me all new kitchen appliances as a 'reward' for doing that, jabbering away in Italian about how happy she was to see the old gardens re-vitalized. There were some one-off roses from Italy in there that I would dearly love to have now. One was a 4 pedal blood red climbing rose that I have never seen before or since. Roses tend to be 5 pedal. I went back to see if I could get a cutting of that rose 20 years ago, but the old houses are gone and its a bunch of condos now. Development for you. That studio apartment there would be $1500 a month now too. Progress for you.

It seems we're gonna have the coldest September in two decades here. After cold mass and rain that came from Scandinavia day temps have dropped down to low 70s and night ones to mid 50s. What an irony as it happens after hottest summer in 15 years. This climate is getting so unpredictable that short term models are becoming useless basically. October might turn around everything or just give us the feel of the winter. What I'm gonna harvest in the next two weeks should be fine, but we'll see about Colombians. On the upside I can keep perfect temps in my drying room of 18-18,5°C now which is 63,5-64,5°F with RH of 55-62%.

Interesting. Seems that northern Italy is tracking Oregon weather this year. We had record summer heat and a record hot Labod Day here. Now 2 weeks later we are having a winter storm pelting rain and thunder with well below average temps. My curing room was too hot and the early sativa Lebby harvest dried in 4 days. I have them in curing bags now and it has cooled off nicely, so they will cure in them for a month as the stems dry out. If I had to, I could harvest the rest of the plants now. I am wanting to see if the Lebbies will turn red as advertised in the cooler weather though.

Do you have some local Lesbians there that can tend to the late blooming Colombians?

Agreed. I never let the sugar leaves go to yellowing...

I know who Nspecta is, he's well known and respected in NorCal. I'm actually considering getting one or two of his recent crosses: PCK x GSC and Sour Diesel x Purple Urkle.

Must've been an Italian heirloom. Unfortunately I don't know much about the roses.

I don't have any lesbians around here who are into growing I'm afraid

Yeah that's way past harvest time. Many growers take their plants way too far in my opinion waiting for 50% amber trichs or more. No plant can benefit from that much CBN unless you're looking into very dull high.

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

I wanted to do full update on The New Sunny Spot, but my battery went flat as soon as I started with UDs, so this is gonna be mostly Lebanese showcase.

Pheno A:

Pheno B:

Both of them have very original aroma composed of rose, jasmine and sandalwood, but pheno A smells unexpectedly much stronger. I'm gonna give them another week and that should do it. No mould, no PM, no pests.
