2012 aussie outdoor

Does the wire mesh really help? The holes look too big to stop insects or small critters from reaching the plants. On the other hand, I can understand it if you have dogs that might be a cause of concern to your plants, but other then that... I don't see how any large animal that poses a risk is going to get behind your main fence in the first place? Just curious, not trying to be too critical of your efforts. Grow looks great btw :)

thanks for the feedback guys, good to hear its not a problem. i have the mesh because of my dog but its fucked the grass and backyard so have since fenced of another part of the yard for the dog. now the wire just holds branches in place really.


here is a big ass leaf that was a bit sick on the buddha tahoe.

Your babies look like monsters!! Looks great man!!

I really feel ashamed to be stuck inside an apartment, need to get my own property down here and start a grow... Only had a few mates down here that i've seen growing but their plants looked beast... Must just be the luck of the aus! Or just vic haha

thanks mate. yeh had a fair few troubles this year, well the bugs are not to much of a problem but in the last month or so they haven't grown much at all, guessing because of deficiencies. Looked at my nutrients and they didn't have any calcium and only a little magnesium so i got some nutes today with calcium and just foliar fed with some epsom salts . ill see how they respond in the morning. Yeh the budha tahoe is sweet such a cool looking plant , and its pretty much stayed free from bugs and disease while the laughing buddha has been coping it. I'm hoping it doesn't hermie as I've heard cali connection is pretty common with hermie traits, its all what I've read though i hope to prove the cali connection haters wrong hah.

As far as flowering I'm not sure probably just potash, might go to the hydro store and see what they have.

any pics of yours?

cheers
I have the "Monsta Outdoor" from the local hydro store for the flowering, see how it goes. Yea I just read a bit on the cali connection and read the same thing in regards to hermie. Still think it might worth the risk if they come out like yours.

Anyway, as for the pics, not as impressive as yours but she should supply me for a few months.

Took this one today...

I think putting it at a lower level than the garden has hindered it... But didn't have much of choice in terms of stealth.

oh I see, that's understandable. It would be interesting to see how somebody would train a dog not to go near their plants, if anyone on rollitup knew anything about dog training (I wouldn't have a clue.) That sure is one big ass motherfucking leaf. I'm planning to start an outdoor Aussie grow of my own soon, but I'll be taking on the guerrilla approach as I can't grow at home. (No backyard / still living at home :s)

UPDATE

cruising along same problems as before, they all look like they are starting to flower. Only one thats going good is the budha tahoe. Not sure why as they are all in the same soil and get fed all the same ? pretty cool looking plant.

the laughing budha is struggling and so is the black widow. as you can see by the pictures.
any help would be appreciated. cheers

all 3.

UPDATE

haven't been posting lately, no one responds ! heres one anyway. plants are good now and back to full health, haven't feed them for the last two weeks just tap water and they are looking much better now must have been over feeding.

this afternoon i gave them another feed.

all 3 are in full flower mode now. My mates 2 big plants were males so we ripped them out and i gave him the black widow.

here are some pics.

all 3 before i moved the widow.

Looking good man, how often were you feeding when you thought you were overdoing it? I currently increased my feeding schedule from once a week to twice a week.
