First grow with my own seeds

Hi guys,
It's been over a year since I've grown, and been on this site.

My circumstances changed for the worst and I've been unable to grow indoors, so this is my first serious attempt at an outdoor grow.

My last grow was Mataro blue, white urkle, and green love potion.

The mataro blue threw some nanna's, and I succsesfully harvested about 70 mature seeds from the three varieties.

A friend has succsefully grown a seed through to flower and looks great.

I have three started, currently a few weeks into vege.

I will post some pictures shortly.

But it's nice to be back, and I look forward to contributing again.

Cheers.

The first one is still in a pot waiting to go into the ground.


And two in the veggie garden, unfortunately I have to be somewhat stealth :)



As the garden fills in around front I will be able to start training and manipulating for more space.

I will get some nicer pics when the lights not so contrast.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi TWS, I believe that to be a myth, considering the massive distance that corn pollen travels, it would be a huge problem for the outdoor grower, and the two different species cannot cross pollinate to my knowledge.

But I'm interested in your views, as experience rivals theory :)

It's not the pollination but the pollen all over your sticky flowers.

Ok thanks for the info.

Can I remove the cobs before the corn produces any pollen? Or is there any other way around this problem?

I don't have a large amount of corn growing, so I'm not worried about having to sacrifice it.
I also have okra, tomatoes and a few others things to keep the garden lush.

Cheers

Doesn't corn make pollen before the ear ? all so , tomato plants are the best mite attracter there is. damn Im just a parade rainer ...:(

Haha, no it's all good :)

I know what I'm doing indoors with hydro, but this is new to me, so I really appreciate all the help you give.

And it's still early enough in the season to hopefully rectify some of these issues.

Time for some more research :)

I only have to keep it stealth till Xmas, so I can pull the corn then.
I can loose the tomatoes now, and let the okra fill-in.

I also have watermelon, basil, lemon grass, carrots, and chillies growing. Anything else I should think about?

Thanks again for the help.

Not sure about Melons but Squash is a huge powder mildew host. I love squash. This was the first year I grew it. I pulled everything close to my plants. The zuchinni on the other side of the yard I left but it had plenty of it. The rest of the veggies should be fine but you have to take as good as pest management as you would with your plants.;)

My tomatoes this year did fine but they all so got sprayed with a heavy duty miteicide. The last couple years I was afraid to go near them to pick them or kill em it was so bad. Do you know about budworms ?

Yeah, last season I put one plant out side, as I was overcrowded in my tent, I ended up with a few worms.

I'm not sure if it matters or helps, but I'm in a new house now, with a virgin garden, this is the first time any thing has been grown in this soil, everything is clean and new.

I'm wanting to go 100% organic, so far I've only added crushed cow manure for feed.

Can you recommend any organic products for defence against potential nasties?

safer products and Spinosad, spinosad or BT for budworms, Azamax as a preventative and to control pest or Neem oil but I don't like the smell or taste of Neem oil and in my opinion it only buys you a little bit of time before you have bugs.

Im not to much of an organic person though. I've spent a lot of money fighting mites and trying to control them on my mid size outdoor grows only to basically lose in the end . Yea , I got to harvest but it wasn't much fun and a lot of work and money. Now I hit them once with Avid when they are teens and first go out side and then hit them once right before flower and don't fight mites at all the whole season. Not for everybody. Then I only spray spinosad for thrips and worms once a week.

Thank you TWS for taking the time, I will refer back to your reply when I go shopping and put it into practice :)

I found the original thread from the parents of the seeds.

I can't remember why I had a second profile, probably paranoia lol, but I'm glad I found it as I had lost all my old pictures.









Damn, I can't wait to be in a position to grow indoors again.

Thanks guys.

1st and last pic is the white urkle, 2nd is the green love potion, and the 3rd is the Mataro blue.

The mataro blue had huge buds, the urkle is my all time favourite, and the love potion was really sweat and fruity.

Can't wait to see what the seeds produce.
