GTs 2009 SoCal outdoor grow

[greenthumb111]

Here are some update pics of the WCD, WCF, and G13 plants. They look like they are coming out of the burn/shock they were in. I will water them tomorrow along with the seedlings. Hopefully they will start taking off and fill those pots.

I'm going to get the trees trimmed so I will get more light without having to move the plants during the day.

I'm trying to get some Age Old Nutes and I think I found a place. Hodge those Maxsea nutes are not very comon but I will keep searching.

I was looking at the clones today and it looks like the WCD and the G13 are starting to take off. The WCF are still in flower so I will just let them go until done. Wish I would of had both phenos to see what they would do outside.

I watered today and I think I will water on Wed if its sunny for the next couple of days. Its been overcast in the AM and today wasn't sunny until close to noon.

The CC x WC are kicking ass along with the HJ. As soon as we get some decent sun I will give the seedlings their first lite (500 ppm) feeding. One of the HJ looks like it has nute burn even though the other HJ look fine and all are in the same media, plain Promix BX. I flushed it today to see if that will help it. I will get some pics up on tues.

Are you gonna post some pics of the outdoor grow ?

Yea, tomorrow. I wasnt home today or I would have done it today. Was overcast again in the AM again today. Decided to hold off on nutes until tomorrow AM since the sun wasnt too strong the past few days. Wait til you see how big the CC x WC have gotten. They are starting to outgrow everything. The HJ and JS are right behind them though.

The G13 and WCD clones have also taken off.

I lightly (400 ppm) fed today and yes the overcast is not helping me out with growth. Pics to follow

Got these clones but I think they are all going to flower. THe G 13s are growing great but I noticed hairs on the top of the one and preflowers on the other . Was hoping they would stay in veg for awhile. I received the WCF in flower and they never even looked as if they would revert. In hindsight I should of put them into 24/0 for a month or two. Lessons learned

Ok now for the seedling and clone porn. I will try to keep the descriptions with the pics. Some of them you can see the tags.

1. HJ Front; CC X WC back
2, 3, 8, 10, 14 CC X WC
4, 5, HJ
6. Fried HJ
7, 9. JS
11, 12, 13. G 13
15. CC X WC chewed!?!?!?
16. JTR
17, 18. WCD clones
19, 20. WCF clones
21. G13

I fed them today and noticed a little leaf curl up so I will let them hang for a day to see how they do. My meter said ~400 ppm and around 600 us at 0.5. Im using GH Maxi nutes until my Age Old and Maxsea get here. Just using the schedule on the nute bottle for now nothing fancy. Praying for sun tomorrow.

I was hoping the clones WCF would revert but I think they are doom to flower fully. I will just let them proceed. One of theWCD seems to be trying to flower and the other WCD is in preflower mode. One of the G 13 is in preflower and the other is still in veg. In hindsight I should have veged them for a couple of months then dumped them outside but oh well. Plenty more to have fun with.

A frickin bug ate 3/4 of one leaf on one of the CC x WC (15). Bastard bug! The fried HJ (6) is still hanging in there and looks to be pulling out of the shock. If it is sunny all day tomorrow I will water on Fri. Enjoy the pics and let me know what you all think.

Ok those previous pics were at night as I have been working late these past few days and today for the first time the frickin sun came out all day. YAY! I took some pics of the plants to see the difference and they look so perky in the sun so here they are.

Here is the weekly update for you guys. Its been about 20 days since these seeds pooped out. The clones of WCD (217, 234, 235) and G13 are the largest (208, 232, 233,220). The largest plant G13 is showing hairs but I dont see much calyx growth yet. The WCF was in flower when I got it and it does have calyxs and the leaves are starting to get trichomes too (Pic 21.

The seed starts are starting to strech out especially the WC X CC (231, 236, 237) are streching out maybe too much. I was thinking today when I took the pics and the wind was blowing how much strech they seem to have and whether I should top them.

The JTR (230) is starting to grow out nicely. The JS (222) is a little behind the HJ but building steam. The HJ (207, 215, 221, 223, 224) is impressive and seems to have more indica traits than the WC X CC.

HJ is a strong plant as seen in the burnt/shocked HJ (229) which is still pushing on with upward curled leaves. I flushed the crap out of the pot too but the curling persists.

I really think the WCD and the WC x CC are going to be big girls if I dont top them. The WCD looks very impressive withthe internodal growths already.

We have been having psycho weather with overcast until noon some days but recently today and yesterday it was sunny all day.

I included shots of the Nutes and EC and pH readings of the nute solution. The starting RO water readings were pH 6.88, EC 59 us, TDS 29 ppm. I hope you enjoy these and any questions or comments are welcome.

putting that hijack thru the test you are.

That is one tough cookie! Im not sure what caused that but it may have gotten splashed when I was fertilizing the orchids but I would of expected more burn. That was the smallest of the HJ so Im not sure its not shock. Like I said I flushed the crap out of the pot and it is growing still so we shall see. I am impressed with the genics and I have seen the end product too. Thx for stopping by.

I started using GH Maxi nutes but I have ordered Maxsea Grow, Bloom and Acid nutes. I m also hoping to get Age Old nutes too so I can do a little comparison. I plan on mixing the modified Supersoil this week and filling some pots as described in the initial post. Im going to look at 10 and 20 gal pots tomorrow and see what I like. I still need to get off my butt and get someone over here to trim these fricking trees so I can make my raised beds.

After using the Gardner & Bloom and the Promix BX I think I like the airness of the G&B but I also like the mellowness of the Promix. In the future I think I will mix them 50/50 for starts.

Sheesh! I still remember using only Rapid Grow and 1000 MH for my indoor grow, lol. Look how far we have come.

Went out to check the seedlings and something had eaten some holes in one of the plants (pic 240). Not much but I could tell it had been nibbled. Had a leaf eatten last time and thats it. Not slugs or snails because I have anti slug and snail stuff out plus no tell tale slime trail. May be a grasshopper or other transient pest.

Got my Maxsea nutes today, YAY!!! (245-24 I got all 3: Grow (16-16-16), B;oom (3-20-20) and Acid (14-18-14). I want to see if I can use the acid in the last weeks of flowering to give them a little weight boost. Im seeing if I can get Age Old organic nutes and then I will compare with GH/Maxsea/AO to see which one does the best all around and which one does the best for grow, flower and finish flower. If I dont get the AO soon I will just use the GH and Maxsea and Supersoil. Almost forgot about the Supersoil.

The WCD is just bushing out everywhere. Im kind of bummed that the WCF and G13 are in flower. Guess I will try and find some seeds of those crosses and try again. The WCF (244) is on full on flower whereas the G13 is just showing hairs and not so much pushing out calyxs. We will see how far the G13 will go.

All the plants got the same nutes at the same ppm but some of them have leaf cupping (241, 242). Going to water tomorrow since they feel a little dry and maybe that will sooth them to flatten out.

THe WCD seems to be a little lighter green than the other crosses and may require more nutes (243). What do you think Earl? Stay tuned.

I didnt get my pots like I wanted to but I will next week. Maybe I can get the trees trimmed and find a good place for the pots and raised beds.

See you got the Max-Sea, your in for a ride now.....
