It's official, I can''t clone outside without a dome.
I ran a test on the window seal 6-8 cuttin's in a cup in water.
The Sativa lasted 5 days and MBB only lasted 3.

Good thang my favorite garden store carries
a pretty cheap one with two adjustable vents for 8-9$us.

I recon' I'll try some gallon milk jugs with the bottoms cut out
till I can get to Town.
Maybe I can get a couple more Sativas goin'.
 
Thanks BubaToke :cheesygrinsmiley:

Just tryin' to cope with the changes and roll with the punches. :bong:

This damn camera uses batteries like I own stock in Batteries.
The last ones up there, it was low,
I'll get some of the 4 foot Sativa with fresh batteries.

The trip that took me out with lowbatteries,
I had good cover
I was chasing a pair of huge woodpeckers.
The big black ones with the very red head.
Everytime I'd get within about 40-60 yards of them,
They'd take off deeper into the property.
They would peek around the side of the trees
to see where I was as soon as I made a noise.
 
Cross your fingers, we might get some badly needed rain in central TX over the next few days. Will hardly make a dent, though. And it isn't even July yet!
 
Thank you , thank you :cheesygrinsmiley:

Fresh batteries and pics :cheesygrinsmiley:
Mago Sativa 4 footer


Mago's Blue Bastard(MBB), Wild LST


The milk jug humidity domes/rigs:

I left the bottoms on in order to anchor them down,
well at least keep the weight to keep 'em from flyin' off.
May also want to flatten the bottom of the milk jug.
Mine had a ridge running across the bottom of the jug.
So far so good,
started those Saturday or Sunday and they look good this mornin'.
This test batch was just water.
 
Looking good DaMagoMan. I like the ingenuity of leaving the bottom on the jugs for the domes. That Sativa sure is a straight shooter. Pretty inneresting. :)
 
Thanks BubaFreak :cheesygrinsmiley:
Yeapper, I didn't top them so I could see Just how tall they would get.

I made a trip to town last week and got a dome.

It's all dewed in the mornings when they get direct sun and cleared by the time the shade takes over. Pretty nice, they have two vents on the top. Doesn't look like I'll need to open them, Yet.

The jugs worked, 7 days and not one wilted.

Mullaway Uluru got transplanted over the 4thofJuly weekend
(my patriotic duty to Over Grow the World, don't Ya' Know :)


Had a peek at the Other girls last night, they are at 4 and 5 feet now.
They love fish emulsion(5-1-1) :cheesygrinsmiley:
At this rate, Easy 10 footers by harvest.
Be nice to have some 3-6 foot buds to show off :cheesygrinsmiley:

Had an issue with the Sativa I'm "Bag Flowering"
Was putting her bag on just before sunrise and taken it off a few hours later. Well that Ain't such a good idea!
The heat from the sun on the black bag, fried some of the leafs the bag was touching. She'll live But she ain't real pretty right now.
I've started baggin' her in the early evening when she's in the shade. Then removing the bag later at night. This seems to work Much Better.
We are still gettin' good 15-20 degree temp drops at night so I don't want her missing put on those by havin' the bag on her.
 
You're an inspiration. Here's to safety and longevity on the farm and to the Other girls. :)
 
Mr MAgo Man, your garden is beautiful, you gotta love the variety you have going. I can't wait to see how them monster sativas are going to turn out... Keep up the good work, you kick ass... :peace:
 
Only from a far :cheesygrinsmiley:
When you look close you see the abuse, I work 'em Hard.

My Sativa moma goin' on 7 months.
Main stem is split but healed.

Cloning is back on track :cheesygrinsmiley:
I did try an overnight in water for a batch,
then an old Old(over 6 years old) can of Rootone.
They died.
Straight to dirt and in the dome, works the best.

Bein' the true Moonshiner I am,
It's full
and we be busy with only another month or two before the days start to get shorter.
Cleaned up my area after a few weeks of Neem attacks and Amdros baiting, it was time to sweep away the bodys and see what the dirt looked like underneath.
Pretty rich :cheesygrinsmiley:
and a couple wheel barrow fulls too.
But of course plenty rock and stone. Makes me feel like I'm farmin' a quarry.

I've given up tryin' to dig holes bigger than the pots, 1 gal. pots and up.
Just too much work and noise.

Darlin's are lookin' lovely.
The larger one is starting to branch around her bottom.
 
Mago Sativa ready for sunset :cheesygrinsmiley:

I've been baggin' her for 3 weeks now and she is starting to fill out nicely.
I'm still tryin' to find somebody I trust to take pics.
The ones taken back in late May,
got corrupted between Bonaroo, Galveston and Dudes PC.

First batch of clones from the humidity dome are ready for transplant.

Got all the holes full, time to dig some more.

Lost 1 or 2 of the Mullaway Uluru babies after transplant but still have a dozen :cheesygrinsmiley:

We are currently under Exceptional drought conditions.
For y'all non-weather channel folks,
there are 3 drought levels, Sever, Extreme and Exceptional.
Yeapper, we got the worst.
Glad I didn't waste time and effort trying to get stuff out where it couldn't be tended.
Maybe next year :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Looks like you doing a lot of diggin ther Mago, Must be fun growing outdoors eh!.Everything looks like is going good.
 
Yeapper,
if I ain't diggin' dirt, I'm tryin' to make it.
I have the new extra large compost pile butted up to the outdoor nursery area.
Y'all know it takes a year to make dirt!?! :cheesygrinsmiley:

Fun?!?
Not sure if that's how I would put it :cheesygrinsmiley:
I do love the increased potential without the added cost.
But black pajama perimeter patrols do get boring after a bit.
Not to mention the night watering trips through the cactus patches can be a pain.

I almost forgot again!
I got one Hash Plant baby, sex unknown.
Found a single seed in a bag :cheesygrinsmiley:
And it sprouted.
Pics when I can afford new batteries for the camera.
 
Lots of work 'Man. Looking good.

Oh, yeah Buba...Compost!!

I believe that a really good compost can provide all of the essential nutrients and trace elements in necessary quantities for every stage of plant growth in soil culture. It can be placed as a mulch around plants and serve as an in-place time-release fertilizer system as the nutrients are watered down into the soil. Like you said, it needs to be dirt to do it's best, and a year seems about right.

With some extra effort you can turn a composts pile around quicker though. Daily monitoring of moisture, temperature and odor with appropriate adjustments is key. The work involves turning the pile when necessary...sometimes daily in a "fresh" pile, and adding things like blood meal, seaweed extract as a tea, and other bio-enhancing preparations to keep the aerobic decomposition at its peak. A drench of of seaweed extract can help turn a sour heap into something sweet.

At the end the compost may need to be screened with a hoe into a wheelbarrow through 1/4" mesh hardware cloth in a wooden frame to harvest the finest and most versatile "dirt". The larger chaff that's left is integrated into the next pile. Every scrap from your garden goes back into a pile and becomes fertilizer (and so much more) for future generations. I love the cycle. :peace:
