This Year's Outdoor 2012 Garden Diary - By JTG & My Wife

[JamesTheGreen]

Sounds Like a Polypoloid in a way, except there are Two identical Shoots, I have seen that before, a few different Times, seems to happen to Plants that are destined to be Large, as in Certain Indicas, the ones that like a little height To Em, and a lot of Sativas, Tall Bushy Plants!!! It is a trait that can Be Passed On, if so desired, but a lot of Plants like this have other problems Some Times As Well, Some Good, Some Bad, so like everything Don, It's a Roll A The Dice MATE!!! No Double Harvest Either, they Get Ripe at around THE EXACT Same TIME!!! That is unless of course You Only Take The Largest, and Medium Sized Stuff Off, and let the Little Stuff Grow. All The Stuff I still Have out For The Gleaming, Has about Doubled in Size!!! Pretty Cool, I Suppose!!! I think I just Got What Else You Were Meaning In Your Question, You were also wondering if it Doubled The Size Of Your Harvest, I Think???? Only if You Pot It Into An Enormous Container, like if you Put One into a 200 Gallon Container, You Would End Up with Two Tops , of The Same Plant, Then You would Probably get Two Tops That were Equal In Size To a Regular 100 GALLON Plant, Light Amounts Considered, Of Course!!!

Hope That Made Sense Don??? If Not, I'll Try and Reword It!!! SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.

 

[JamesTheGreen]

Thanks Sphnx, Appreciate It!!! I wish I could get MORE help as well some Times, But I Think Were Poking Along Pretty Good, 5 Left!!! Cannot Wait!!! It Time For Fall and Winter, and Like A Cagey Old Bear, this is My Favorite TIME OF YEAR!!! I can WORK on other Projects That Mean A Lot Too Me!!! Take Care SPHNX, hit me back when You can. SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.

Had to drive bye and she what ya had going on. It is that time of year. Man I miss Cali weather. To short a season here with to much moisture in the air. Congratulationson a nice harvest. Man ever time I grow larger buds up here outdoors, I get plauged with PM and Rot. Cost me 30% last year. Great harvest dude. Keepem Green

 

[Closet Farmer]

Plants look really great hanging in your home. I bet the place smells really nice now. I could just sit and enjoy the smell for hours!!

 

[donpaul.p]

i hear you mate, i was wondering if id need to get a bigger pot for it, but then i wondered if it would be better as a dwc grow, maybe then i wont need such a big pot, ive got a while to decide anyways, but so far it looks like, the leaves seem smaller and the 2 stems are shorter but id say its grown more in 24 hours then any of the other plants so it is catching up. hopefully it will turn out good.

last night i decided to sample the dried auto blueberry buds, so i got my skin up tray out and picked up some bud, i started breaking it up and heard something hard hit the tray i was using, i looked and it was a seed, so i looked through all the blueberry bud and found 1 more, so i found 2 seeds both in the very middle of the bud, this auto never had pollen on it or went near a male, plus the other plants didnt give me seeds so i dont think this is a pollen contamination, plus the seeds where in the middle of the bud so if it was pollen they would of been on the outer part of the bud, so im not sure what happened, but it gave me 2 really dark seeds, so ill save them for a future grow and all been well they will be auto

 

[Buckshot]

looking great ... always fun to come see whats up

 

[JamesTheGreen]

Thankks CF, They are odiferous!!! Thanks For The Drive By, Norcaliwood, glad Ya Did Not Shoot,LOL!!! This Year Has been GREAT as far as No Major PM issues to Speak Of ATM, and only found One Moldy Bud So Far!!! And a Medium One At That. I always just figure on losing At least 10% of the Crop Every year To Acts Of nature and PM, Mold and Such. This is usually a Gross Over estimation, but I like to Always Plan For the Worst, and Work/Hope for the Best!!! This Year, Outside of other things, It Has Been An Awesome Garden, and Buck, even the Squirrels Have DISAPPEARED!!! Oh and Don, You Can Get Seeds way Down Deep On A Bud, It just Matters When The Said Bud Was Pollinated, Like Yours, which I Believe Happened Early On In It's Bud Stage. Could There Have Been A Male From Anothers Garden, That Either You Were contaminated by, or Someone You Showed Anything To Had BEEN!!! We are Just Trying To take It Easy Today, went Out and Looked at The Garden, and Everything has Ripened Substantially Since Yesterday!!!

It is Hard to Believe What One Night and Day Can Do, With Temps and Light Involved, To an Outside ripening Plant?!? They Literally Do Ripen Overnight, especially if the Temperature Has Dipped Below 55 Degrees, And If It Has Been Overcast or Slightly Cloudy Out!!! I Kid You Not!!! OK, Starting To Get Long Winded, Take Care All, JAMESTHEGREEN.

hi mate, i never had a male when the autos first started flowering, i dont let anyone see my grow, the only people that know i grow is everyone on this site, i keep myself to myself and tell no one anything about my grow, the less that know the less i have to worry, its just strange that the seeds are right in the middle, when i put pollen on the other auto it was further in flower and the buds where formed, this is why i harvested the none pollenated buds and left the pollenated buds on the plant, but the auto that gave me these 2 seeds is not part of the breeding program so its got me a but baffled,
the only thing it could be is some pollen from previous pollen attempts, their may have been some lying around that could of become air born,. but im always careful and spray the area after i put pollen on a plant, plus none of the other plants where affected, so its a bit strange, but i aint moaning cuz its 2 extra seeds and if their auto then i can use them for future breeding programs,

i just soaked one of the seeds, as i know how it grew in soil im going to grow an auto in a 2ltr dwc and see what happens, if it gives me more yield then ill be giving it a try with other autos and try and increase the yield, the auto i put pollen on is still in flower as im waiting till i can clear see the seeds are ready before i remove the last few buds, they are swollen and seed pods splitting at the seems so i dont think its got long left

 

[JamesTheGreen]

FISHCAKE!!!LOL!!! And Don Those DWC things are pretty damn cool, Watched Someone on Here do a grow in one, been so long now since I have seen the Thread though, I forget Who It Was ATM(FEEL STUPID), but it was an awesomely Grown Plant!!! Good Direction To Go, I just wonder if that will slow the growth of the two tops, is all, But Hey, that's Just my Mind thinking Ahead, On It's Own, I did Not Ask It Too!!! Glad You Keep Everything To yourself Don!!! Best Choice!!! Take Care All, SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.

[Sphnx]

Hey James did you get my last message?

 

[TG40]

Ok, here is October 6th Day Of harvesting!!! We Had a Blast Harvesting Today, being the end of harvesting for a few Days and the fact we were all in Really Good Moods let us have some FUN!!! I was Stoned smoking Orange Krush(AGAIN!!!) all Day Long!!! Everyone else got to smoke whatever that was ready, to SMOKE, we were all nicely Medicated, our ailments put at ease by the wonderful, Fresh Herb!!! We took several Photos(PORN), and had a lot of "FUN" doing it all. I took Pictures of ALL the remaining 5(YES, ONLY 5 PLANTS LEFT). As we are out of ROOM for More storage, and the remaining Plants were not READY, everything worked out to the absolute best it possibly could have!!! We were a little worried that it was supposed to rain on Monday(30%), that the TWC had been posting this whole week, that we were all so HAPPY when we checked the Report today, and like Luck would have it, the rain had been mysteriously blown out or something, and we were not gonna have to worry about the rain(AT LEAST FOR THE WEEK, IT SAYS?!?) Ominous news for Several days like "HARD RAINS", can make a whole crew go on EDGE, and ruin the Atmosphere Completely, because everyone is trying to get 10 things done at once, and done correctly, it can really put the CHILL on the GOOD feelings of what Has Been Accomplished!!! But No We LUCKED OUT!!!

Of course the Weather is a Notoriously Difficult Thing to Remain Accurate On, So I am a little worried Still, BUT NOT MUCH!!!! I took pictures of the 3 HOG X ORANGE KRUSHES that are left, and Man, they are such enormous PLANTS!!!! Conservative Estimate for the 3 is 15, NO BS EITHER, and I am being CONSERVATIVE!!! Not Bragging Either, just telling the truth, for The Journals, and ALL OUR SAKES!!! I also took several GOOD PICTURES of my last Heirloom Plant, My Grape Baby, She Has Probably a good 7-14 days left(DEPENDING ON WEATHER AND HOW FAR I AM WILLING TO PUSH IT) The 2 Plants that were brought in Today are an Enormous Orange Krush Plant(BIGGEST, BEST SMELLING, BEST EVERYTHING PLANT SO FAR!!!) I have Pictures of Yarrow's sister holding Buds of it, Yarrow, Her Own Sweet Self, Holding Massive Armloads of the most succulent of herbs!!! The Buds are Bigger than Yarrow Almost!!! I also got represented in Picture as well Today, Holding Up The hangers of some of the largest of the Orange Krushes buds!!! If Y'all look real close, You'll see I had to Grow an Extra set of hands to hold Onto Everything!!!! We also brought in the Blueberry X HEIRLOOM KUSH Plant, this Plant got a few Pictures of it, but the Orange Krush was such a NICER PLANT, it took most of the GLORY!!! I also got live pictures of the last Highland Kush Plant as well. By Far the best pictures of the still uncut on Plants are firstly the HOG X ORANGE KRUSHES, The Last Heirloom Kush(GRAPEY!!!) and the Highland just does not look so good because She has not been deleafed(TOO BUSY)?!? I also shot pictures of what is left of the entire garden, You can SEE all the left over Plants, that are being saved for Gleaming to make BHO with this year. My neighbor has offered to Gleam it all, and give us half of what they make off it, which I thought was cool of him. I would of just tossed it off the cliff, but since we are letting it grow out for a few more weeks, there is actually gonna be Budlets that will be even more worth while for the process of BHO. Yarrow and I have never tried Earwax or BHO, our own Hash, Of Course!!! But something made with Butane recently, like the Earwax, NEVER. We have smoked Honey Oil, I used to get it once a year in HS, and Yarrow's first time smoking something like Honey Oil, was in Canada, in 2004, last I smoked Honey Oil as well. This BHO could be a blessing for her, especially if they can do it like they claim, I need to ask SPHNX what He Thinks???? Cause She could take One Or two hits, and from what I have heard, it is ABSOLUTELY the most potent thing one can Smoke, Cannabis Wise. It delivers like a whole days worth of a heavy Smokers THC, in 1 Hit, or so I have been Told??? This could make Her Life so Much Better, I am Praying It Is So. Since I have more than 50 pictures, they will have to be posted separately, because You can only upload 50 pictures at a time, if you do not use Smilies. Sorry No Paragraphs, gotta stay focus!!! So here they are, PLEASE ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF THEM, WE DID!!!!

I guess I only had 50 Pictures(WELL ACTUALLY 51, BUT I DID NOT UPLOAD IT) Lets see if this will upload,and i was too stoned to count past 50!!! SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN!!!

Oh Man...you are one cool dude. And your Ol Lady is right on. I always liked people from the mountains!!! Bro, you are deffinately living a good life. Beautiful Garden! It looks like you and your ol lady have been working your ass's off. Truly awesome grow.

 

[donpaul.p]

i know, amazing, some huge buds their mate,

id love to see the ak47 cross uk cherry cheese grown like that, just wish i had the chance to see the plants full potential, indoor dont give it the chance to produce anything like that, some of them buds are bigger than my plants,

 

[TG40]

It's amazing, when you look at our indoor grows and think "wow I got six ounces out I my plant , then you see this and he's getting 6lbs out of each plant. Happy for him, but man I'm paying 400 dollars a month for three plants and I will get what maybe 1 or 2 lbs? Didn't get me wrong I'm still growing but I wish I had a place where I could grow like that.

Hell you're getting more than me, don't complain mister!!! LOL, I am lucky if I get a half out a plant and have had more die on me. I am happy for James and the Missus as well. Mountain life seems to have it's perks especially if hardly anyone comes to visit..But James, I am glad you made it fun for everyone and everyone was well medicated. A beautiful day, indeed. Well done, friend, well done.
