That Guy's Swamp Grow '08

[that guy]

So here I am, finally getting started here!!!

So I currently have 16 plants in a swamp, 7 of which are bagseed, 3 are Hindu Kush x White Widow, 4 are DP Passion #1, and 2 are DP Frisian Dew.

13 are in 10 gal grow bags, which actually hold 12 gal, and another 3 are in 5 gal buckets.

My soil mix is 40% potting soil, 30% compost, 20% peat moss, and 10% perlite. I also added dolomite lime, and GH Rare Earth( a silica and humus supplement).

This is my smallest HKxWW. It stands about 3 ft tall.

These are the other 2.

The Frisian Dew and the Passion #1 were kind of late starts. I didn't receive them until about the 20th of May, and they didn't go outside until about 3 and a half weeks ago.

These 2 are the Frisian Dew.

These are 2 of the 4 Passion #1's.

Shotgun! :D Sounds cool, I'm a believer in silica supplements, some have complained of Hempy plants not staying upright, becoming leaners, I use pro-Silica, Freakshow actually turned me on to the idea, if I remember right, I only had a couple leaners, all Nebula, for some reason, and it wasn't significant enough that I bothered supporting them. Hope they finish in time for you, I may try covering some if they need it this year if we get an early frost.

[CezarCronic]

Great Outdoor grow man2thumbs , its very impressive bro , lots of plants you sure are getting good yields out of those ;).

Looking forward to see some great buds by October , hope everything turns out good man ...Peace dude:peace:

[that guy]

Hey, guys!

Tripps, I'd recommend the RE, if you can get it. It's cheap! 40 bucks for 16 lbs.
I get a later frost than you, being closer to the water, and further south. We get until at least the end of Oct, and the last few years, I'd say even into Nov! I think I might even have a few bagseed that might need that long!

Cezar, thank you much. I do believe that I may reach my expectations of 5 lbs. Sure hope so!

All the best,
TG

BTW, I'm procrastinating on the ID thread. I'm putting it off till tomorrow.

[tripps]

Forgot to mention, I can't see your pics, just little red X's, except the first pic.

[that guy]

OK, so I'm not that good at doing this attaching thing the hard way. I'm used to being able to use that drop down menu.

Can you tell I'm not the biggest fan of computers? I'm more of a car guy.

All the best,

[tripps]

See 'em now!

[CezarCronic]

Guy i see you got the uploads under control now , pics look great bro , very nice looking plants man and they look very stealth in those bushes :gthumb:

look man if you want a treat for every strain :cool: for sure here will all visit each one of them :trust:2thumbs just to let you know bro ;)

Peace man :peaceman:and grow on

[CylonBud]

Your plants are going good that guy! You'll be into some good smoke for quite awhile! :D

[that guy]

Tripps, Cezar, thanks much.

Cyclon, that's the general plan!

All the best,

[that guy]

So I went out to my swamp today, but forgot to bring my camera.

Things are still growing very quickly. My late starts have almost caught up in height with my old plants. Didn't top them, so that probably helps explain things.

Had to cut a bunch of branches today, to let 2 of my Passion #1's more light.
They needed it badly.

On an interesting note, both of my Frisian Dew's are already flowering! Last week I thought one of them was starting to bud, but discounted it. Now, that one has an inch tall bud already, and the other one looks like that one did last week. I'm thinking of crossing this with a few things during the winter/spring, as I still have 2 FD beans left.

I think I'll try crossing it with longer flowering strains, to see if it carries the early flowering trait.

Also, I realized when I was out there that a couple of my pics were mis-labeled, so look back up there to see the corrections.

All the best,
TG

[that guy]

OK, so apparently I can't edit my post again, so I'll just post them again, with the corrections.

The plant on the left is a Passion #1. The one on the right is a Frisian Dew.
http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=9&pictureid=82

This is a Frisian Dew, not a Passion #1. This is the one that is further along in flowering of the 2.
http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=9&pictureid=85

The two plants in the foreground are both Passion#1's, and the one in the back is a Frisian Dew.
http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=9&pictureid=83

Those are the only corrections.

You and me both, friend:D

Cezar, I've always loved weed. From the first time I smoked heddys, I knew I was going to be a cannaseur. Sold the stuff for a long time, too.

I just hated the way that when something REALLY tasty would come around, it would never be for long. So That was the driving force behind my deciding to grow.

Now that I'm doing it, though, I love everything about it. Growing multiple strains at once is the best, though.

All the best,
TG

[that guy]

OK, so I've procrastinated long enough, so here's the update. Took these on the 20th.

Here's the smallest plant, a Passion #1. I finally did some cutting to give it more light, something I should have done a few weeks ago.
http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=9&pictureid=127

Here's another P#1 that needed light as well, but was at least getting more than the first one.

It's finally raining here. We need it really bad. I'm thinking of heading out to my swamp tomorrow, in the middle of torrential downpours, to fill my 32 gal trash cans up from the stream I know will FINALLY have water in it again for the first time in about a month.

Then I'll be set for the rest of the summer! 5 trash cans for a total of 160 gallons!

All the best,

[CezarCronic]

Guy i can see some of those plants are starting to flower dude , the Buckets plants are very big man apply some nutes to them and water ones a week , they will get better man ...Peace :D

[CylonBud]

Bucket girls definitely need water that guy. Everything else looks real nice. Keep on growing!:D

[tripps]

I think I asked before, maybe, but how the hell do you load so many pictures, these are new, not transfered from another site, right? Seems like you'd be downwind of our weather patterns, seems like we've averaged 2" of rain a week, I've never watered my outdoor garden yet! That's a once in a lifetime summer.

[that guy]

Cezar, unfortunately I don't even have a full week. 3 days is the longest I'm comfortable leaving them without water. I don't mind; whatever it takes!

I'm really happy about the flowering plants, I'm already out of HKxWW from my first harvest! So, 6 more weeks or so, and I'll be able to start harvesting a little bud for smoke!

Thanks, Cyclon!

Not so sure I understand, Tripps. If you mean the total # of pics, I'm just about at the limit, so I'm going to have to start figuring something out!

Yeah, you'd think I'm downwind of all that rain, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, the river that bears my state's name seems to dissipate all the rain, and I happen to be on the E side of it. Right now is the first rain that has fallen here since about the 4th! As close as 25 miles away, on the W side of the river, they've gotten perfect amounts.

Many people have been having a season like you have, Tripps. I should still, as well, since the temps at least, have been perfect. I want to say we've only had maybe 5-6 days this month that have even hit the 90's around here! Low to mid 80's in the day, mid to high 60's at night.

So I have to bring all the water(unless this crazy plan to fill my trash cans works, then I'll still have to walk a quarter mile, with NO path, straight through the woods, to get the water to the plants), but they should still get some great yields!

All the best,
TG

[tripps]

There is a 5 pic per post limit for uploads. You get around it somehow.

[Cranky]

there inline pics from his album...can only upload 5 but inlines are different...takes longer for the page to load this way though...some folk dont even wait about for the page to upload,they just move onto the next thread...specially the peeps still on dial up ;)

there is no limit, just start a new album :)

[tripps]

Have to figure that one out. I delete em usually after up load (from my company computer LOL) but there's always a few I'd like to save. I'll figure it out, or ask if I have probs, thanks

[that guy]

Tripps, if your camera has an SD card slot, go buy a 2 GIG card. It'll hold over 1000 pics. Then you just don't erase them from the camera while that card is still in it.

Yup, Cranky and CB are absolutley correct!

CB, thanks for the info!

So I went out there in the rain today. Got drenched! But I now have 64 gallons stored. I couldn't carry more than 2 trash cans at once, and then I managed to get myself lost for about a half hour, so after filling those 2, I gave up for the day, since it was 5 PM already.

So back out in the morning, to fill 1 more. I realized that I don't need more than that, so I won't do it.

All the best,
TG

Also, I've looked at the NOAA long range forecast, which says that there will be slightly above average rainfall over the next couple of months. So I decided that I needed a slow release fert for flowering, so I bought some peace of mind bulb food, 3-8-8. I'm still going to use the GH kool bloom, but at least this way, when it rains, it won't be plain water diluting my P-K ferts.

All the best,

[CB]

so I bought some peace of mind bulb food, 3-8-8. I'm still going to use the GH kool bloom,

wont the kool bloom kill the good beasties that the POM will release?

[CezarCronic]

Great looking plants there Guy . they are getting big man , some need fertilizer ;) keep up the good work man ...


Peace bro:)

[that guy]

CB, I honestly don't have the faintest clue whether the KB will kill the "good beasties". What makes you say that?

That could be a problem, as I don't have the money for an organic bloom booster(spent too much on both grows already), and I want as much nuggage as possible.

Don't the FF boosters, cha ching; beastie bloomz, and open sesame all have chems in them? And I thought that those boosters are supposed to be used WITH their organics?

Should I buy some cheap guano or something?

All the best,
TG

[CB]

Don't the FF boosters, cha ching; beastie bloomz, and open sesame all have chems in them? And I thought that those boosters are supposed to be used WITH their organics?



yes those have chem's and are organic based, POM line is organic which I use now. but i dont mix it with there organic based line of products.

The beastie bloomz worked a treat here and I have plenty left over as you know it goes a long ass way, but not meant to be used with there POM line of products....

It wont kill ya plants like bro but could deprive them of some goodness

I use there FFOF soil for my base and pick and choose from there

just try'n to stay on the organic side like bro

grow on

[that guy]

Maybe I'll give them a good dose of the POM and use a small amount of the kool bloom. Thanks for the heads-up! P-K won't be used as well as it could be if those organisms aren't there.

Well, it sure looks like the greencure worked, though I have to reapply it since it is water soluble. There is still some PM, but much less than there was, but not in the same places.

Picked some test smoke off both FD's, the 2 P#1's furthest along, and my sexy bagseed. I'll post some dried pics in a week or so, when they're done.

So everything's budding quite nicely now. I have 6 plants that will be done within the next 3 weeks:), and then another 4 a week or so later:D.

I thought the bagseed plant that's looking very sexy was the really good one, but now that I have 2 other bagseed plants that are forming lots of trichomes, I'm not too sure that it's the sexy bagseed I thought it was.

Hey guys! Sorry I've disappeared again, but I've been a busy man!

Got some heavy winds and rain Sat and again yesterday. Staked and tied them up on Fri, but haven't been back since.

My buddy who's a mile and a half (approx. 3 km) away from me found some bud rot on Sun, so I have my fingers crossed that I don't have the same problem, as I have the same strain!

So I've started smoking the test buds of P#1, FD and sexy bagseed a few days ago. Not quite mature, and dried a little too quickly, but still tastes good, and gets me high as hell!

No pics, as they aren't pic-worthy, but dried bud porn will be coming really soon!!!

All the best,

Forgive Me , But You really need To Get Those Yellowing Leaves Off Your Plants
Also Inspect Inside Your Buds For Brown Leaves ( They Are Usually The First To Mould Up )
