Fun, Friendly But Still Serious Outdoor Guerrilla Grow Show 2018

[flytier]

My first seedling in soil and it going great, they don’t grow as fast as in coco and I barely need to water it! I’ve been hardening her off in the day and supplemental guerrilla lighting at night. I will transplant her to the 5G this weekend then outside full time #sinkorswim

I love it! All the plants going outdoors now. I'm going to check mine in a few minutes when I go out for a coffee. I brought a couple more sunflowers outside yesterday. I'll probably put them in the ground by my ATF today. A lot of people use that section of our yard as a shortcut on their 4-wheelers.

That's what my Mars-in-the-bike-shed is! #supplementalguerrillalighting

Our shed doesn't have lights in it and it's packed full of junk anyway. It would make a beautiful growroom otherwise.

One might wonder if a treasure hunt/cleaning party is in order there Fly.... LLOOLL.... hmmmm, you could always hide a 20 somewhere in there and tell the neighborhood kids that if they find it they can have it.... Ehhhh who knows.... Anyway, good Green am all, looks like you guys have taken quite well to the camo routine... Good luck to all, and such....

afternoon everybody and welcome to growing cannabis lesson #101...... cusswords being my friend today.....

So if you are just joining " smeegols " adventures, currently in winter outside temps at night down to bout 5'c so the little girls sleep inside at night under 340 actual CFL, so I added the fourth bulb 2 weeks ago, reason being very cold...

So smeegols being smeegols and juggling with books as risers I left my hygro on the floor level and religiously check it every day and it's stays between 16-20*c at anytime and awsome so happy smeegs.
Yesterday when I noticed the leaf burn I lowered by bout 7-10 inches down, so this morning I gave a spray and looked at temp and ally norrmal so figure putting it in the pot of " Hardy " whose leaf is crispy and lo and behold 2hrs later when I check 32*c.

removed a bulb and time to reshuffle things.

That's beyond my ken. Never heard of anyone re-vegging a male in the middle of flower!

Hmmmm reveg a male?! Sounds like a mad scientist experiment I could get behind.

sorry to be a party pooper, but it was already attempted and (if memory serves me correct) successfully done by @FeralA9X somewhere in his journal... It's a long journal... Already read it front to back once... Not doing that again lol but if you search im sure it will come up!

I guess it's getting less than 10 hours dark by now. When I get up at six it's pretty light out and it stays light until after eight, so I'll see what it does as it goes. The main reason it's where it is is because i don't want it in my growspace the size of the lower part of a fridge.

I bought a pack of Early Miss autos this morning with my overtime - first time I could almost manage go buy some this year. Can't really afford to but I worked my ass off to buy them. I have two planted now, one for the growroom perpetual and one outdoors for the guerrilla grow. For now haha.

And two bush beans to go out there somewhere.

 

[newty]

I need a fridge box for Deb to get her into the dark maybe

Keep it up Smeegs, hard work pays off!

Thanks for the info! I was pretty sure someone had done it

 

[flytier]

I was pretty sure it wasn't an original idea to either of the two of us haha. Did you read my little write-up about how we have done the same thing with salmon using photomanipulation? It's comment #344 on this thread I do believe.

Photoperiod plays a big role, in circadian, lunar and and annual cycles for a whole lot of nature, as you well know. I love the biology of it and stuff like that. There's always something there to learn as you go.

 

[newty]

I’ll head back in and take a read Fly, I read it but I’m going to need to reread

 

[newty]

Let me elucidate: I work in the hatchery part of our freshwater site and where I work we have 1 metre tanks containing 70,000 fish at half a gram each. To get them growing at their best at this stage they are getting 24 hour light so they can keep feeding.

When they get about a gram or more, they are put into 10 metre tanks where they grow under natural light cycle. This will be happening very soon, actually. They will be under the natural light cycle eventually and next spring when the days get longer they go to salt water.

If you want to put the fish in salt water in the fall for some reason, it can be done by covering the tank with a big tarp and putting lights underneath to make, for a good comparison, a growroom inside the greenhouse where all those tanks are. You give them short "days" over the summer by keeping the lights on for the appropriate time. Then you make the photoperiod progressively longer to simulate spring and the fish go out to the bay without a hitch when their "days" are the same length as the natural ones. So you see why it would be interesting to try the same thing with a plant.

I know it's a little late to start it now, but in the early months of next year we'll have to start one. Like a 12/12 from seed at first and whatever monstercrops out of it after a first harvest.

Ok, I see what your saying now. It’s a bit late to start that but let’s pin that for next years Grow! Lol

Right, so you see what I'm saying and why I think it's worth a try with this as a grow on its own?

 

[flytier]

This is why I want to call this the Experimenter's Club. Try things like this with a wide variance of growing condition and stuff.

Dark yes but make sure you can get plenty of fresh air or big problems will greet you

 

[flytier]

My outdoor plants got another light frost last night. That's four now. Pretty hardy little buggers.

Yes and next year, I’m in

 

[flytier]

Yes and next year, I’m in

Interesting tidbit for you. I checked my outdoor plants yesterday. Putting out a male plant on the first of May will cause it to flower. I'll get a pic when I go home. It's an ATF that has pollen sacs on it, so i will assume the other ATFs are females on the grounds that they aren't budding yet. Not a 100% method for being foolproof but it may work.

 

[newty]

I’d love some pics of your ATF’s including the male

 

[flytier]

Ok, so here's my guerrilla grow as of today. Bear in mind when you see the leaves drooping that as of this morning they were hit with their fifth frost. All things considered, I think they're doing pretty good.

This is the actual guerrilla part, I guess. I'm going to assume that in the ditch counts as such. What do you think, newty? Behind the row of sticks is a row of six sunflowers that I'm hoping like hell will catch up to the weed. At the very right tip of the row of topsoil is a bagseed plant that looks like a sativa by the leaves, and just left of the right-hand stick, about a foot and a half behind the row of sunflowers, is the ATF, sex of each: undetermined

This is what I'll call Strain B (Got it from my brother Brian's bagseed... makes sense). Also supporting my guess that it's a sativa is the fact that it didn't handle the cold well as the rest. All the fan leaves are gone now

This is my ATF. It has more or less a couple fan leaves left, and the rest of the foliage is greener than B.

These are the ones by the front door, Three ATFs, another B and a G-13. The two males, both ATF, are the two closest and the G-13 is the short one in the middle

And here's a closeup of some male flowers just for you, newty. i couldn't get a good focus because the plant was blowing in the wind. This is the male I brought out the other day, not the one that flowered since I put it out, and I even said today that it was the one I was going to get pics of. Oh well, maybe tomorrow

So what I need to know now is when to put a paper bag around the flower head to get the biological gold? Can anyone tell with this out-of-focus picture?
