DST...It warms my heart to see those headbands released into the wild!

And Mr. West...I grew Red Diesel and though it looked great and was a heavy producer...it hermied late and was lame smoke (the hash was good though!) I hope it was just my ineptness and yours will be fire...I would have a back up though!!!!

Yup, my first. I have done a couple just using gods 600, but this is the first also straight into the ground. I have given them the extra water but the ground around them is constanly soft and has moisture to it. I guess thats the 2 streams running either side.

It's amazing how similar they look at this stage of their lifes to the Jaggie Nettles that are around there!!! (or stinging nettle - link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinging_nettle)

The sun has been there for sure, that's the main thing, you can feel it in the heat.....had a couple of cloudy days but I am slowly becoming an advocate of using let light out of the day to get decent plants, I cite Oscar the dirty garbage bag plant, she only gets direct sunlight until early afternoon, then she's basically shaded, but she is looking fantastic....almost makes me think of running 7 hours of intense light, and 5 hours of lower level. I wonder if it would have any effect (apart from saving you on the lecky!)

Hayduke, good to see you old Headband partnero, actually mentioned you just the other day on another thread (re your CO2 bug method) so quite interesting to see you over hear. I hope all is well with you and that your "seldom seen" is running well.

EDIT: forgot to reply on this...It is nice to see them in the wild, I do actually feel like sitting with them for longer, but then I also feel like getting up out of there. It's kinda sad to walk away from them, but it also warms my heart when I think about them out there!!! cheers H.

Thanks for the visits guys, the shows purely for the viewers so glad you enjoyed.

More pics to follow soon(ish).

Laters, DST

Well here is Oscar the garbage bag kid....




Looking pretty fekking damn good imo....especially since she is sitting in a whole load of old root balls, waste veg, old leaves and other bits of crap that I throw in the garbage bags for composting!! I have watered her twice since she started growing.


And here is the Cali O Headband...

gonna be one hell of a cola


This is 4 Headbands that I stuck in one pot...lets see what happens


And out visitors bought us a nice plant as a thank you....for smoking all my hash and weed, haha. Think I'll put it in a hanging basket...isn't she pretty

Based on the Cali Orange that I grew I would say it has taking the slightlier lime green from the cali o, but has I think real indica traits (which both the HB and Cali have) She has not grown massively tall, even though she is a beast. Her leaf structure reminds me more of the Thelma Headband than the OG HB, but her overall shape is def classic indica....which I am hoping for based on the fact that it is outside and going to have to put up with lower temp's. It's started to show some growth around the nodes but no hairs have sprouted yet.

EDIT: So def showing traits from both the CaliO and HB

Holy Moly D. Coming along nicely bru.

DST said:
I got 9 plants in total out of 12 (3 little ones disappeared) I think with the mass of reeds they have that light is being restricted to the lower parts of the plant, but the tops are certainly coming along nicely. If I get 9 main colas from these I will be over the moon!!....p.s they are all Headband





























Peace, DST
