Pa Growers

Sup fellas..a little late to this thread, but glad I saw it.. sw pa here. I am sooo glad I held off starting my od grow. I was almost gonna start at my usual time regardless of all the rain, thinking it was gonna stop "any day now".
Got a few autos; Smurfberry, Lowboldt, Double Diesel Ryder, and Afghan Kush Ryder.
And some photoperiod; Super Skunk, Grapefruit, Neville's Haze, and Easy Sativa. Also putting out out some dank unidentified bagseed( they surprise me every time).
Deer are a serious problem here; I was lucky enough to find a spot secure enough to actually build an enclosure. Plus using coyote urine, not taking any chances; these deer are fucking voracious...
All seedlings are 10 days old and looking fantastic, THANK YOU ATTITUDE SEEDS!!! Out of 28 germed, I have 24 healthy seedlings going.
Will post pics when I get these girls in their permanent home..
Are you going to be putting the seedlings under any cfl lights or lights at all or is it not necessary. Im going to be doing autos shortly and i wanted to know after i germ them and they sprout out the seed i plant them into the soil mixture im using.
Do i have to keep them indoors under some lighting for a while? Or is direct transfer into the wilderness a option?

Ruderalis genes are comprised from plants already growing in harsh climates. Putting your plants directly outside shouldnt be a problem but youre still gonna have to take care of the no brainer stuff. If in case you dont have a brain ill suggest a couple things (im sure u have a brain, friend) : use some sort of net or cage to cover your seedling while still very small. If you saw my pics back on the last page im using some green plastic poultry fence that i bought from lowes i think. i just got it to the correct length and height and buried it about 1 inch in the ground so it wont knock over or move too easy. if you dont have time or money for fence then just take some 1 gallon water or milk bottles and cut the top 1/3rd off (the part that slanted) and place that over your seedlings. this in effect creates a tiny greenhouse. Allowing in air and sunlight but keeping out pests, wind etc..
Other than that.. ummm.. well i think youll be oka with just that for now. like i said very easy common sense stuff.
god luck dude, ask for help anytime. and dont forget to post your pics on this thread!!! we gotta get this thread poppin

I have the luxury of a decent amount of privacy, so I start them all outside on the deck. That way, the breeze can strengthen the stems, and the sun can do it's thang waaay better than cfls. I can bring them inside if severe weather hits. I f you can't start them outside in close proximity to your house, then yeah you should keep em indoors until they're big enough to survive bouts of rain and wind.

sweet afghan and green poison are two strains that I would have probably grown if I had found them before I chose a few other strians... so far however I can honestly say that of the 7 or 8 strains that i started... the blueberry gum and midnight kush from g13 labs are the strongest growing strains I have so far and I am really happy with how they are turning out

you should throw up some pics for us wil. Im glad you said the bluberry gum is growing well cause im going to buy some shortly and run maybe two of them this summer. My real plans for them are to cross is with Kalimans cheese #1 and make Blueberry Bubblegun Cheese.. or maybe ill call it bubbleberry cheese haha. I had some blue cheese and it was amazing, cheese is the way to go for sure. Anywho, show us some pics dude!

What time of the year do you guys usually notice choppers doing flyovers looking for your shit? I have noticed the last few years the choppers in western PA come around in the middle-to-end of september.

iv been growing my hole life strain is everything in pa. got find one thats mold resistance for those cold dam fall nights. a few of my freind put theres out at the end of june just to keeep the buds small so they dont hold as much water. they have to put out hundreds of plants to get anyweight. i chose a mold resitance plant and get pounds a plant. i put them out may 15 every yr. and spend alot of time digging dirt and prepping pretty much as soon as i harvest i start from next yr. i like hauling in dirt on a sled makes it easier.

Nice man, she's a beast! Hope mine turn out that nice. I have 2 Pandoras along with 3 Automaria II going myself. How many weeks from seed did your Pandora go? I'm 8 weeks in and I'm thinking 2 more to go.

I just took the top off her at day 73, i think she could go longer but i didnt want the mold to get worse. im gonna let the lower buds fatten up a bit maybe let them go another week or so. Im definantly happy with her,she's more potent then any bag seed ive ever grown before.

ok just realized those pics were just thumbs.

HERE are my first autos of the season. First two are Pandora. The next four are Automaria II. The Pandora are putting the Automaria II to shame. Only cool thing is the Automaria II are turning purple.

Thanks man. Yeah I've been watching out for mold since you mentioned it. With all the rain we've been getting along with the cool nights it's a possibility. I stopped out quick today and no signs of mold so far. I'd say about 75% of the hairs have turned brown and are starting to recede into the buds, but they are still throwing out some new hairs so I think I might let it go a little longer. Going to re-evalute the progress later in the week. I'm very unimpressed with the Automaria II, so they are probably coming down later in the week regardless.

Did you have any problems with Pandora not autoflowering in a timely manner? Another guy was growing them in the Autoflower thread and he said his took over a month to show sex and I think he might have actually ended up switching them to 12/12 indoors. On 18/6, mine showed sex after about 3 weeks and started flowering hard almost immediately after I moved them outside.

I got 3 from the promo they had, no problems with mine, the other 2 are a month behind the 1 in the pics. they all seem to be the same height, although that bud looked big the yield was maybe 30g, let me know how much u get, they say 60-100g outdoor.

I pulled about 26g from the first one. I'm waiting a few more days with the other one. A storm knocked it over about a 6 weeks ago and it stunted the growth a little. I can't see it pulling anywhere near 60-100g outside.

Looks like the thread kinda died. I'm hoping this will bring it back. These pics are from a couple weeks ago
autoAK_6_2011.JPGAutoAK_7_2011.JPGautoAK_8_2011.JPGBkush_1_2011.JPGBkush_2_2011.JPGKberry_1_2011.JPGKberry_2_2011.JPG

First three pictures are F2s of Lowlife Auto Ak47 they autoflowered just like the originals in 2-3 weeks and are looking good so far. They smell sour and fruity and are getting frosty. Pics 4 and 5 Are of a GHS Bubba Kush Fem. Not much of a smell at the moment. I catch a whiff of afghani on occasion but nothing pronounced. Pics 6 and 7 are of a DNA Kushberry Fem. It had a little accident getting transplanted... stem bent in half... but its more than fixed itself by now. This is the biggest one out of the bunch. The guys at DNA were spot on with the smell, like i just harvested some lemon zest.

Some more about the GHS BK and DNA KB They were started in 2.5 gallon buckets of promix and 1 1/2 Tsp of fox farm fruit and flower, volcano bat guano and kelp meal mixed in with a chicken wire cage over them (like the ones over the aks) in mid- late may. Been getting fed 1 or 2 times a week with FF Grow Big and Big Bloom and a few times with Dutch Master Silica, Botanicaire Cal mag, and Root Organics HPK. They got transplanted into 18 gallon buckets with promix and 5 tsp of the dry fertilizers I mentioned above. they get about 8 hours of direct sunlight a day.

Feel free to ask questions or comment. I'd love to hear it and see this thread active again

I'm still here man. With my auto grows done things have been pretty uneventful. Gonna take a hike out sometime this week to see my reg girls. Running Dinafem California Hash Plant, Magus Motavation, and Kannabia Special. Gonna try to remember my camera this time. Hoping to see some early flowers.
