friends!
Closeup photos is about all I can take. There is no room to get whole plant pic's. AS is a real monster. She is only about 7' tall, but W - I - D - E. I'm pretty sure she at least over 100 colas. I lost count.
I will be drying in my garage. I've already moved the cars out and put up my drying lines to hang the produce. This time of year it is a great place to dry. It stays about 60F with an average of 40% RH.
I'm pleased with the soil mix. I hope I can run it again next summer and tweak it a little. I have plenty of amendment left to "recharge" the sawdust/pumice. I plan on getting a couple of samples to a lab for testing once harvest is complete. Maybe it will help me figure out what happened to ZD and how I can improve it overall.
are you going to test it again in the Spring?
Update (Week 34 / Bloom Week 7-ish)
Photo update. Weather is holding. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this is "War and Peace".
Starting with the potted plants, this is LH #2. Pink pistils is new for my grows.
GASS is still a mess but finishing.
The entrance to the main grow jungle. LH#1 on the left, GG4 on the right, ZD(+) rear/center.
LH#1 is a beautiful plant, but too slow for me to want to grow again. Too little, too late at this latitude.
ZD(+) is packing on buds and might produce a little somethin' before a freeze puts an end to her.
GG4 is getting heavier every day and beginning to add some purple hues. It will be a race with the weather. I SO hope she can finish. GG4 and AS are both easily 8' across.
AS is a beast and should be next to come down after GASS.
Thanks for taking the time to peruse my garden. Things should be winding down over the next several weeks.
Major, beautiful!!!
(+) reps..i didn't see the GT?
Ya eh Ziggs,...he could easily take a year ....or two off,...but he won't!...

soil changes (he has saw dust in his) a lot over the winter.
I'm wondering if the sawdust acted as a green manure and kept the ZD fed N or something on those lines..
I'm baked

It won't look all that impressive. My hope is I will be able to stagger all harvests so only one plant is hanging at any given time. I'm planning on chopping them one week apart (at least), and it takes about a week for them to dry when hanging. I have 60 linear feet of line to hang them on.Ohh a whole garage...I want to see a pic of them all hanging and drying! That's crazy awesome!
Dunno. It probably depends on what I find out from the first test.are you going to test it again in the Spring?
Thanks DrZ!Major, beautiful!!!
i didn't see the GT?
I took a couple of photos of GT but they didn't turn out good at all. She looks healthy. Cramped but healthy. She is the farthest behind on buds. Other than that you probably wouldn't notice much difference between her and ZD.
I am going to take the winter off. The wife and I have a trip planned that would make it impossible.Ya eh Ziggs,...he could easily take a year ....or two off,...but he won't!...
I will be covering each cage with a piece of plastic to keep snow and direct rain off them, but I know they will still change over the winter. I'll contact the lab to see when they recommend taking samples if only doing it once per year.soil changes (he has saw dust in his) a lot over the winter.

The sawdust has/had a very small amount of 'N' in it but from my studies it is acting more like peat. Most of the 'N' should be coming from blood and feather meal, with small amounts from other amendments.
I just got back from watering. Something keeps scratching around in the ZD's soil. It isn't doing any damage. I think it is one of the birds that are getting in. Meanwhile, I keep finding green fan leaves under GG4. Not a lot, but a few each day. Again, I'm thinking/hoping it is birds. They are taken off right at the end of the petiole where it attaches to the main branch (each leaf has a full stem). I've been looking for days but I cannot see any damage, bugs, caterpillars, or anything else up above. I don't begrudge the birds a few fans as long as the leave the buds alone and keep eating the bugs.
birds are talking.."BBAM"

I think my mites are tougher than yours. They did a lot more damage on mine than I'm seeing yours.

Very possible. Only AS is showing any evidence of mites here, even though the plants are all touching. I'm sure this plant has had them all along. They've built up a resistance to neem and Azamax.
Thanks! The expense isn't too bad but spraying them when over 8' is all but impossible to do a good job. I need to get a hazmat suit.Must be just terrible to treat plants like that from bugs... and expensive...

Amazing colors and pictures, looks like a harvest to be proud of, thanks for your journal...best to you in the coming weeks
Great work my friend. What a blessing to have the opportunity to grow outdoors, something so many of us wish we could do, especially to the level you have. Thanks for the excellent journal, it felt like I was right there.

What a grow. You must feel like a kid with cotton candy!
I had spider mites awhile back that drank neem. They say this green cleaner is one they won't become immune too. Yet to be seen but stuff saved my ass with them hemp mites,, and they were a bear. Least it happening at the tail end, instead of acouple weeks back. Too late to do much of anything except remove some leafage from the heaviest infestation areas. I still got a plant under the patio.... GL Keepem Green
Sierra Naturals(a sponsor) has a great product (SNS 217 and 217C-concentrate)that works on mites..

Ye the ol garden is looking great Major
October ah, we could not get away with that in my neck of the woods to be honest well at least with the sativa dominate strains with a longer flowering time...
I know a few people who do the out door stuff, one of them are happy go lucky plant it & see what happens even tho the local soil is high alkaline with mostly poor results.
Another couple grew in big pots in the back yard but forced flowering 12/12 style & harvest early in September by moving them into the shed for the dark period... ye a daily routine for them 7 am move out, 7 pm move in... ya ye get the gist off it !
It worked tho & smoked the result which i was happy with, i'll give em 7 out of 10.
