Konk's 1st Grow: ON Canada

I have been concerned about the fall elements setting in and how this is out of my control beyond tarping the lot, but only if the wind isn't too bad...:lot-o-toke:

The crop thinned out fitting on their table without too much encroaching on their neighbour.

Crop shot, thinned out some undergrowth

Plants 2, 3, 4 & 5 thinned out some overlap, worked the top of the soil, gave about 3L of water (except #5, no water).

Even pic heavier than normal...
#2 Julie-N, perhaps I went the most overboard here...

But she still has a good side! I went back out because that looks so bad :rolleyes:

#3 Rippy, I did this one last and was out of steam

#4 Recluse, thinned

#5 Random, this one is my wild card, I crunched a piece but wandered off like a boss lol I kind of supported it and if the breeze remains gentle it'll probably be ok. I also couldn't find the spot for a pic, so maybe there will be a new chunk to attempt to revive in the morning.

Looking amazing, and well documented journal konk. Keep it up bro..... It only gets better... Personally cold nights (within reason) really inspires the ladies in my experience. To push to finish... I leave my ladies out until the night's are below -5. You'll see some outstanding colours and big trichome production. It's a beautiful thing.
:goodluck: :bravo:

Thanks @Kodiak420, I really hope I do get to see them finish! Today is beautiful, but rain is in the forecast for most of next week...
 
This is why I am starting to sorta freak out about fall :laugh:

It has been two aftenoons of this on and off rain and sun...

#5.5 Raining and sunny... buckle up

Could be worse...
 
Turned my heat on last night. It isn't cold but the floors are cool and we need to layer up.
Plants seem to have tolerated their trim, it's barely been a day but they do look no worse for wear. Oh, and more honey badger cat supervision...

Crisp morning after trimming

Took these dew shots of plants #2. We are wetter, less humid and less hot with cool nights these days. Last few days have been afternoon showers during sun, like rainbow weather...

Dewy in the morning sun
 
I could use some advice, please. I need to decide if I will buy a loupe or microscope and research what hygrometer sort of device or if one is used during the curing process... I've just started researching this thread and this one, too.

Last online order took forever, so I have something new to over think about. To date this has been a locally sourced "Home Hardware" sort of grow, but I think these items are needed. I do have a decent camera phone but dont know if that will cut it. I'm in this deep, but cheap, af. I am in for the $35 Canadian lol to get free shipping, maybe $50 but that seems excessive for my dollar store accoutrements.

Any input, links, curing on the super cheap tutorials even a spot to pose this question would be appreciated, thanks!
 
Those women look so good outside, in the sun! Like really, wow! I want my plants outside... any tips to grow in the sun in a draco state. Need some tips.

“Drako” meaning, I can’t legally or safely grow outside. Unless there are some ideas I haven’t thought of.

BTW I thought of growing on my roof, but I need something more practical.

:thanks: Its my first run, so I must admit the weather has been good to me outsdoors this year. Hot and dry all of June, July and half of August. It stormed and rained the last 2 weeks of August and the humidity broke. September has been sunny days with showers and cool nights. I think it has been just about perfect and I've been lucky. I attempted to fim, top, micro top, a little unintentional supercropping and lst so that and the conditions. Go for it, if you have an idoor set up you can move inside, unless the bugs get ya...

I also don't know what a draco state is? Draco, Texas?

Ya, in that case I am out of my league. I have read some stealth grow articles but that sort of risk is personal. You could train them to mimic a shrub and I think oldsmokey mentioned some fake flowers as a decoy. We can grow 4 plants in Canada now, my dealer and seed vendor is my government... I feel like counting my blessings...

Draconian state, would be the non abbreviation. (It just means I have to be inconspicuous. But nevermind about that part.)

how much sun do you get for the plants. I get (in the spot I’m thinking.) I get maybe 5 hours overhead, without trees blocking the light. Is that enough? If you’re not sure someone will likely chime in.

Nice. I can grow 4 and it’s only a misdemeanor... I’ll never need more than 4. But I would like to have 4, in diverse conditions. Why not? As long as it’s enjoyable right? Anyhow. Good luck bro!

People grow with total diffused light, for example green house with semi transparent coverings. Whether this is ideal .... That's were the question is.
So in short the plants would grow, to their fullest potential, possibly...
:goodluck:

I think these are still getting a solid 8 hours (about 10 am to 6pm) in their nook, it is getting dark here by around 8ish. I'll try to remember to watch this evening. Last time I bragged about their full sun I was off a few hours. :bong:

Been scrogging or working my plant in the screen. Worked her pretty good and may lose a piece, but I think she'll be ok. I MacGyvered a splint.

Love the splint.
 
Plants # 2, 3, & 4 (the bag ladies) worked topsoil added 1 heaping tablespoon of promix 3.7.3. Bloom then ~ 1 heaping scoop + small scoop of Miracle Grow 15-30-15 to about 6L of water each.
Plants #1 & 5 worked topsoil added 1 heaping tablespoon of promix 3.7.3. Bloom (no bloom for the salvages) then ~ 5 full droppers of Schultz 10-15-10 to 4L of water for the potted Rand salvage savages #5.5, 5.6 & 5.7, too .

Note:
Plant #5, pisitls August 15 ~ today day 23
Plants #1-4, pisitils August 21 ~ today day 17

I was alloted a little more room for my grow space so all the girls have a little more elbow room.

#1 Runt in her new spot a little worse for wear but she should be ok, I hope :bongrip:

#1 Runt, new spot and few wounds

Macgyver splint seems to be working for a one handed on the fly repair :cheer:
20200907_.jpg

20200907_.jpg

#1 Runt healing, splint appears stable

And these two broken pieces from plant 5 Random appear to be flowering or growing pistils... I call them savages but I am obviously the scavenger here. :rofl:
20200907_.jpg

#5.6 & 5.7 both have more little pistils
