Hey, so trying my hand at an outdoor this fine year. I have a few different areas picked out, jugs of wolf's piss, and plenty of soil + manure. The seeds are Vancouver Seed Bank outdoor mix. I'm going to veg these a bit and start sexing in about 2 weeks. Right before putting em out I'm gong to take clones and then put those out 2 weeks afterwards for a 2nd bumper. anywho thats all for now, be puttin pics up as they come peace out y'all.

Its been a while so here's a little picture update. We're supposed to have snow soon again so I'm holding off on planting outdoors until then. There's the youngling closet there, the translucent tubs have 30ish clones in each of Himalayan Gold to compliment my random outdoor seeds, my count is up to 170ish now, and a ways to go yet if I want to reach my goals. I'm planning on topping them all once outdoors to make them shorter, and the shorter growing season will hopefully keep their size down too, I'm goin for a short field of green :D

I will be watching this for sure! Do you have anyone that will be assisting you with those mighty H.Gold's? I'm sure you have a reliable water source out there already figured out right?

@joeca1i - Who says I live in Colorado? The climate where I am is cooler, hence the shorter grow season and smaller more numerous plants.

@ganjammin- Yea I have a couple extra arms and legs to give me a hand as well as a some gravity diversion irrigation from uphill. Gonna throw in some dolomite lime too with each plant to increase the available water.

@c0rd - I'm paranoid someone will find one of my crops which is why I'm using more plants then necessary to ensure a healthy harvest.

Did'nt know you can grow outdoors in colorado.In terms of the climate there.
Dude for real!! The rockies spread threw quite a few states. Still if you plant rite and on the rite altitude with the right strain you can grow In a lot of places. Nutfoot thats a lot of plants tear it up brother.rep+ check my grow out.

My original spot was snowing so I had to find some place new a bit lower down. I planted 1 test plant at my original spot and he looked like he got nibbled a little bit was still green and healthy looking (after we dug him out of the snow). I got the 60 plants that are undetermined sex outside finally yesterday at the new spot with nothing but 10L of topsoil each in a little hole, and pigs blood / dish soap / piss all over the area. I got another 60 planted clones to transplant next week and another 80 clones cooking in the oven. I'll try to get some pictures up but the weather was terrible for planting (especially when you have to cross 2 creeks over rotting logs carrying bags of soil.

Alrighty. So no pictures yet sorry, the first 60 I put out seem to be doing overall very well, 3 died, but about 45-50 seem to have doubled/tripled in size in the last 2 weeks. Just got another 40 in the ground also, 38 in a new place and 2 to replace the ones that died in the first spot. If all goes to plan (as often as that ever happens..) I should get another 30 out by next week, I wasn't sure if my unknown strain would handle the barely above freezing nights up in the mountains but so far I am very impressed with how they are doing. I'm excited to see how the Himalayan Gold clones do now that the seeds worked so well. But anywho, I'll try to get pictures up at some point, peace out

Edit: I felt bad leaving y'all with no pics so here's some macros from my latest indoor e&f Himalayan Gold harvest.

Well about half have been eaten by deer, and half of those remaining are very small. They have barely started flowering, I have killed maybe 5-8 males out of the 60 unsexed ones, but the rest have shown no sign except for a few females. I am worried that they are not going to be ready before the frost comes, so we will see what happens, i just want a little bud/hash/seeds ANYTHING :(

so we got a blizzard in september and it killed all the plants hard. This year = autoflowering plants and a warmer climate.
