Sounds like a nice project you got going @Sour Wreck

My Zamaldelica x Morning Breath are coming along well better than some other folks gear right now thats for sure. I could call this one Lama’z (zamal backwards) Breath lol Although I expect nothing but sweet mango’ish & Cookie terps, so maybe Mango Breath would be more fitting.
thanks, gonna be a little bit off work, but the high should be sweet.

i've never grown outdoors... can't wait for the day i can.

sounds like you have it dialed it.
Not this year as far as harvest goes. {I did make some good crosses though}

It rained almost everyday all summer long. Had rot on everything. Got my full season's in the barn and started on my spring crop, and the rain hasn't been seen in a month. I do a lot of smaller plants, but need for it to rain once a week at least. I usually have more out than I can tend like they need. Some years it all comes together. and some years you have lots of losses. I did real good in '16 and not too bad last spring. Sadly I still had more leftover from each of my two last crops than I made on the full season's this year.

i hear you man. i work outdoors and my business is seasonal. and it depends on the right amount of rain, not too much, not too little.

i guess ideally, an indoor garden as a backup, plus an outdoor garden that may kill it would be best, lol...

I'm too tight to grow indoors. I grow for personal smoke only, so can't justify the cost.

That's why I stopped doing outdoor in Summer. Too hot and humid and down here the bugs are just crazy. I used to start on Jan1 and harvest by May 1.

Last year I planted 1st and 2nd of December, then again about 2 weeks later. I had re-veg troubles with some of the later ones, so I'm done planting for this crop. Youngest has been above ground for a week or two. Older ones are already starting to flower.

I lost my veg location, so all are going to be smaller than last year. But I have many more this go round.

Yeah, this round indoor I'm growing in 3 gals for the first time in a while, but I've got a shit load of them! The only problem I'm having (besides the usual, watering) is "male" detection. They're in there so thick it's hard to spot them. I'm putting cages on them and setting up a second flower room tomorrow, so I'll check them over good then. A lot of people sex with clones. I guess I do it backwards, (wait, that sounded..weird). I grew them big enough to take a couple of clones then threw them in there. I will sort them out as I go.

This time of year it's like growing autos. They flower at one month old. I've killed three males already. I did save pollen from my Poly Shunk 1 X Skunk Shunk this week.

Cindy, you should try my paper bag method of sexing your plants if there are some that are giving you problems. Once they are sexually mature, mark a branch on each plant, and put a brown candy bag over the end of it, timed to make it 12 hours of darkness. Repeat daily. After a couple of weeks, the tip will start to flower. Some folks make clones and then flower the clones to make sure what is what. This is quicker and less stressful.

Yeah I always give them a month veg indoor before putting them outside.
We did that last year at the BIL's. He has all he needs and doesn't want the bother this time. So I'm working with natural light from the get go. Plants are flowering at a foot tall. Non-optimal, but I want to see what the crosses I made are going to do before next season. I popped too many of the Poly Shunk 1's {triangle kush cookies X nightcap X shit/skunk IBL'ed} and had to put 3 or 4 per pot. I'm hoping at least half of them will be males so I can clear out some space soon. I have a few of the older plants out already, but it dawned on me it would be easier to keep them in the gallon pots until they show sex. I can kill the males and transplant the females.
