Copperrein's Summer 2021 Outdoor Soil Grow

This journal isn’t sponsored aye?
Textured lube, duh.

I'm fucking about with ways to help keep nutes and water in the soil my outdoor plants are in. These are potassium poltacrylate crystals....water beads/orbs but meant for agricultural use.
Textured lube you say? Baby count me in ;)

You really are the smartest girl I know, not really a glowing compliment when you see the level of dumbarse I hang out with tho :)

Oii this isn’t a sponsored journal aye?

You are absolutely killing it in the grows. While the boys may outnumber us 25:1, the girls in here can grow! And grow good.

Good morning ladybird :)

Congratulations on another win :)

You are fast becoming 420 royalty. Makes me big smile for you.

She’s a right legend.

She’s my MBFF (merican best friend forever)
 
I'm so not a legend, I've just been fumbling along and trying to learn stuff before I kill stuff.

OK...outdoor ladies are getting interesting again! Everyone is showing improvement now that I've pumped some nitrogen into their greedy little roots. I'm still way behind on defol for most of them so please forgive all the yellow bottom leaves. After a stern cleanup they'll look and behave better I think.

FIRST OFF...what the hell is this magenta coloring on my Alien Rock Candy? It appears to be the plant that's this color and just on this one cola tip. It's not growing on the plant...it is the plant.


CPK and LSD are responding well to feeding and defol:



Wedding Cake has gone nuts and I've totally lost my topiary form:


Sour Diesel has also bounced back and is officially in flower:



Gelat.OG #2 being all majestic n'shit:


I sprayed everyone except Hulkberry and Sour Diesel with a neem/soap mix. Hopefully I can get one more preventative spray in before everyone is in flower.

I’ve had so much better luck mite wise.

I’m putting it down to the weather. And another thing I think might be helpful is sitting them on a tray which has been sprayed with a poisonous insect surface spray ☠️ with the water drip tray on top to ensure it doesn’t touch the plants. I also use clean soil, not clean clean. Soil I haven’t grown in coz I was just reusing and I think reinfecting. I also keep my grow areas so clean because well insects hate clean.

Dude at my local nursery told me spider mites can’t fly. They usually enter on the backs of ants. And in hindsight I always had ants in my pots. This time round not an ant to be seen.
 
Hey Copperrein, Congrats on your win!!! Very well deserved!

I did want to comment on the cones, if it’s real sticky bud might help to set bud out one day ahead to air dry…. Either fine cut with trim snips or use your grinder, put a pinch or two in and pack it down, but keep packing as you go. When she’s chock full twist the end and pinch around in a circle which should compress it down further. Kinda looks like those snap pop thingys (fake firecracker) the kids used to play with., snip the pinched end off before lighting so it’s not a paper hit and Bob is your uncle.

thanks for showing the water beads, I’ve been wanting to see that. Just don’t get it mixed up with Jell-O gummies he, he, he! Love that purple Alien Rock Candy, fresh squeezed Alien blood right there. you are killing it…. !!!

Ah yes, the tiny twist. I'm lazy and save twisting for travels.

Once I make sure all the plants I have going now survive a bit longer, I have a really lame idea for the water crystals....
 
More improvement! And more flowers!

I've got some proper sativa, @Weaselcracker ! SEE? Sour Diesel:




And Hulkberry, the first to flower...is going to be a heavy yielder if I can keep her colas dry:


Critical Purple Kush is my smallest plant, but she has mass and a fat trunk:


Whatever the hell Wedding Cake is doing...I can't bring myself to trim and train her back into a peacock shape.


Bonus: some sort of mimic fly, I think:

 
Sweet jesus this summer...our AC units are growing algae it's so humid. That's my new battle here: mold and algae. Vinegar is my current eau du temps...that and the Coney Dog funk emanating from my pits. Yums.

I busted out the @Sierra Natural Science Spider mite stuff for the garden girls and WOWE it smells so amazing. I totally sprayed myself with it just to reek of rosemary all day. The odors surrounding growing can be really great.

Triple Cheese smells like feet and and cheese. Hulkberry is just funky diesel.

And this concludes my ramble. I hope you enjoyed.














 
Plants survived another night of strong storms. So did all fences and windows (for once!).

I made good use of the morning's cooler temps and cloudy skies and cleaned up Hulkberry. She's just exploding in flower and her veg density was far too much. Hopefully my trim balances air flow and light penetration with any attempts she makes to regrow leaves. I don't think we're getting a 'drier and warmer than normal' Autumn.

Bonus: somehow my dumber than dirt faverolle rooster and equally dumb copper maran hen made a baby roo. We call him 2.Doh because he's next level vapid. I consider my roosters the Maginot Line last defense against anyone looking to snipe my plants. They hate anyone but me and are always looking for a fight :D







 
@StoneOtter Internet? It's vaguely better but still drops bandwidth when it rains. I'll deal with it since the guy who runs it is local and not Hughes.

@Trala Waaaay ahead of you...vacuum sealer! I'll portion out 1/2lb bags, lock them up, and just grab one when a jar is empty.
