Thanks to all those that contibuted genetics to this summers project! This should be a fun summer!
Some plants will be forced using tarps, the rest will be planted in remote patches on mountains sides. Growing in a hot dry location @ approx. 50degrees north!

Organic gardening is where its at! I love the smell of good organic soil!
Ive grown with both organics and non-organics, and prefer the organics for many reasons.
Feed your soil, let you soil feed your plants, you'll taste the difference!
I am using BreederStevesSpecialMix again this summer, and I love to see the fungus growth after the initial composting.........this shit smell good when mixed in with the earthwormcastings and lamashit.

I also use chicken shit teas, lama manure, earthworm castings, Bat guano (both fruit and insect eating, varieties), horse manure, rock phosphates, leonerdite, diatomatious earth, hygromite(?), dolomite lime, agricultural gypsum, glacial clay, bone meal, blood meal, canola meal, kelp meal, greensand, Pirahna (Advance Nutrient), volcanic ash.

I add SuperThrive during begining of growth, transplanting, initiating flowering, mid flower, and mildly up to flush.
I use GrowthPlus every two weeks at half strength, both foliar (when possible), and to roots!
I like to use a B-1 like Thrive Alive.

There are also many homeopathic remedies I use, including Calendula, Camomile, Stinging Nettle, Comfrey, RescueRemedy (Bachs), Willow tree, and this list is growing..........


So this year has been a battle with mice........I lost over 50seedlings to mice in one night, and a friend lost over 200 seedlings over a three week period. This is quite a set back and its disappointing to lose of a great selection of genetics, but that is life!

Pictures will come soon, but I first need to play with the photoshop to resize these pictures. The new camera takes pretty sweet photos.

Hope you all have a great summer. Thanks for stopping by, and Thanks to everyone who helped with advice and genetics on this years adventure!
Peace outdoordreams

[Green Supreme]

Wahoo can't wait to watch how this all goes. ODD you da man. Peace GS

[vapor]

sounds fun!!

[c-ray]

K2 eh?

[spacegrass]

nice one dude delicious fall

get those pics resized yet?

sg

[Albi]

and we're off!!!!

Great lineup

Cant wait to follow you around, leared alot of you. Im sure I will see new tips this year!!

GOOD LUCK

[outdoordreams]

So this years irrigation is going much better..........Im almost ready, but Ill explain the design now........

Im using 45mil pond liner for reservoirs, building them out of 2x4frames, with lids........out the bottom comes a 3/4inch hose into a timer, which runs off batteries, then through a filter of xxxmicrons, then reduced into 1/2 line which runs around the plants..........using 1//4inch poly line, not vinyl; to feed into an ajustable emiter which produces an upside down 6-12inch diameter spray to each plant..........and pressure reducers ever 75feet of elevation drop.............Water gets pumped up using a Honda pump, nice and quiet unit.

The timer I found today is a MELNOR Daily Electronic AquaTimer for 29.99!
Basically it opens a valve for any length of time I choose, every day. Well see how often I actually have to refill the reservior.
The 45mil pond liner runs @$0.75 per square foot.........700gallon reservoirs run about $105
The filter which will get cleaned twice a week cost $22.
Each emmiter with hose and connection runs about $1.20 per plant.

Again thanks to all thoughs that advised me to stop breaking my back hauling 10gallons of water up mountains!
Peace outdoordreams

ps. C-ray, we will see if it really is the K2, do you know the genetics on this one. Im thinking I remember white widow cross??

[The Cannarchist]

Is that the whistler K2 cut?

[Bram]

nice line up there ODD. I am interested to see how the Early Wonder Skunks turn out. I had some in veg once before and I remember them have a strong skunk cabbagey smell to them. are you going to replicate it?

[outdoordreams]

Hey Bram, Doesnt skunk cabbage smell like skunk?
Im also growing out a bunch of Island thai IBL I made.
I would love to replicate the Early Wonder Skunk, but only have five surviving seedlings.......so the plan is to re-evaluate the strain...........we accually grew it out a couple summers back, but the main caretaker really doesnt love his plants, and stressed them into hermaphordism and some freak growth problems with some he stressed. The surviving stock produce early, dense colas, and was sticky, very stinky, beautiful aroma, and a nice buzz from the little I actually got to smoke.
If they turn out to be good this year, Ill be stocking up on more beans and crossing into itself, and cross it with some other early outdoor strain!

[Bram]

nice. got many island thais going. I am doing that, salish x nigerian, and c99 outsies this year. maybe some autowarps too. can you still buy solar warrior seeds? havent seen them for sale since emery got taken down. would love to get some.

[c-ray]

this is the last of the solar warrior early wonder skunk I do believe -> http://www.vancouverseedbank.ca/catalog/index.php?cPath=33_69

[Bram]

sweeeeet, thanx for the link mon.

[Green Supreme]

Hey I was at a party there last weekend. Peace GS

[dpn]

hey odd... how do you apply your homeopathic remedies? cheers.

[Green Supreme]

Nirvana Seed company had a K2 I think. Peace GS

[The Cannarchist]

The Whistler cut is about 10 yrs old,before dutch strain got named.

[outdoordreams]

Homeopathic remedies are applied depending on the situatioin.
I add about 2-3 drops of Rescue Remedy to a 700ml spray bottle, and spray clones, mothers after cutting, stressed plants, transplants, after any real plant stressings...........pruning, broken branches ect.

The calendula I buy the raw flowers, and make a tea, cool the tea and dilute.
Use the water to make underwater clones cuttings, and also spray the wound on the mother plant. This helps heal cuts, in humans and plants.

Willow teas, for increased rooting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comfrey as a tea for flowing plants, and stressed plants.
Camomile as a tea for all stages of growth, general immune aid.
Stinging nettle uses as companion planing or add teas to plants, to increase resin, and terpine production.
This list will increase as soon as I learn more. Much to experiment with this summer!

Hey C-ray, are you saying they will be running out of Early WonderSkunk seeds? Id like to put a few away for future projects.

Bram, when does the Cindy finish outside. Id like to try her outdoors if she works. Her description reminds me of CandyCane?hmmmmmmm
We'll have to compare this fall!

Peace outdoordreams

[vapor]

i did c99 on the eastcoast and it finished end of sept first week of oct
bad pm and mold issue if humid.,., bangi haze may be interesting

cool you should take pictures and make a thread in the organics forum



Hey C-ray, are you saying they will be running out of Early WonderSkunk seeds? Id like to put a few away for future projects.


I get the impression that they are out of the biz..they seem to have disappeared post emery saga

[The Cannarchist]

Ii'll save some Early Bramble F5 pollen for it.

[dpn]

'Stinging nettle uses as companion planting or add teas to plants, to increase resin, and terpine production.' ........ interesting i will test that on my ladies.
ive got comfrey and nettles growing wild every where, so you just simmer the leaves or flowers and dilute the tea accordingly... say a handful of young tops per gallon?

[outdoordreams]

Sounds about right............I actually dont heat teas, most are just soaked in water for 1-10days...........Once I use the tea, I refill the tea bucket with more water and use again, again until you feel there is nothing left.

Maybe I should test to see the difference between boiled teas and unboiled.
Anybody have any thoughts on this subject?

Cannarchist, Early Bramle F5 pollen would be great to hit the Early Wonder Skunk with..............Ill try saving mother plants on my five babies, but hope to grow out more numbers next year..............Maybe Bram will find a keeper to use. Ill also save the best of the Fstrain we are working with this summer
and cross it with EWS, and hopefully hit it with Early Bramble pollen as well.
Peace outdoordreams

[Albi]

K2 and EWS!!

You got me

[Albi]

Will be trying to make some tea myself this year

Have a friend thats having a vegan restaurant, heard that he uses allmost only homeopathic remedies. Im going visit him this evening. I really want to get into this...

[Greens]

OK, I'll be checking in on this thread. Nice lineup, ODD! Wow! I guess you'll be covering your plants again this year. It must be worth it for the dank in the end though.

Speaking of EWS, I'm trying a cross of that strain this year. Imsmokingmyroach sent me some "Master Wonder Skunk" which is EWS x Master Low. He also made EWS x [GG x (EG x MM)] using my GG x (EGxMM). Hehe, I wish he would have sent me that one instead. Still, the Master Wonder Skunk should be interesting...

Greens

[Care-Giver]

Damn, I just put em out and set it up around so the critters stay away and well, let em grow themselves, aside from the occasional watering / ferts when it is dry out. But being that I'm a noob, and missed this year I'm gonna stay tuned to this thread for I think I will definitely learn lots, so thanks. Great Start.

[outdoordreams]

Greens, Im hoping you find some interesting plants in the EWS X (GG x (EG x MM))...........I was thinking of making a EWS x GG cross next year!

Im kicking myself for not picking up Greens, GorillaGolds this year, and will have to wait until next year to play with them!

Still no pictures yet, Im working on it though! They are looking great.

Renee is already flowering, both clones I got this spring have started to flower, and Im hoping they dont go back into veg with the increasing daylight.
Oh well Ill end up with some super early dank herb!

[outdoordreams]

Well Renee is still vegging happily, she just shows alot of preflowers..........smelling dank already in veg!!!!!

I lost 70Island Thai to mice last week. Ouch.
Still germinating more seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love this job!

Tarping stuff now!!!!!
Peace outdoordreams

[Green Supreme]

Good work. Damn the mice. Thanks for keeping us informed.
Peace GS

[vapor]

do you use bait blocks?

[outdoordreams]

mouse traps.............lots and lots of mouse traps...........cruchy peanut butter...........works pretty good, but not 100%.

Ill just have to keep planting more! No worries, I just got gifted 70 female clones! I love this universe! I love this job!

[The Cannarchist]

Bom Shiva!:family:

[vapor]

yea it is that time of year when the plant ferries give away there xtras!!!
do the bears ever go for the pb?
keep up the good weed.,.,I heard there was a nommo pheno in the dogon

[The Cannarchist]

Is that the one where you see talking fish,eh?

[outdoordreams]

Im having the mice problem in a indoor/outdoor setting so no the bears dont eat the PB.

But I had a scary day last week. When for the first time in my life a bear snuck up on me. Ive crossed many paths with bears, but never had one sneak up on me. It was a four foot black bear, guessing its the same four foot black bear that was being aggressive with the neighbours dogs the day before, I toke off down the mountain in a slow hurry!
Ill be looking for the Nommo pheno. Now thats a different fish.
Peace outdoordreams

[vapor]

wow!
do you carry bear bangers or bear spray when you are in the bush.,.,
We had a cougar sneak up on us last year/./.
very freaky experience.,.,
the black bears are not to bad but what about the grizz?
we come in peace, do you have a bong?

[Lungus]

The problem with black bears is, even though they attack less often than grizzly's, is that they are more likely to kill the victim than a grizzly if they commit themselves to an attack. A grizzly is more likely to charge you swat you around a bit and when it figures out your harmless leave you alone and carry on with it's day.

[Lungus]

Mind you being "swatted around a bit" by a grizzly can leave you with multiple broken bones, your scalp torn off, and a hundred other injuries.

[vapor]

one thing i noticed was sluggers love the cat food

[outdoordreams]

No bear spray or bear bells............I just sing lots to myself........(Bears are happiest when Im out of ears range, as are most people)

Im hoping not to have issues with slugs!

[Green Supreme]

Singing is good, let's the critters know your coming,keeps the forest happy. Peace GS

[Bram]

bump

[vapor]

nommo, nommo, nommo!

[Green Supreme]

A hush builds as ODD enters the site. Whisper whisper whisper. Peace GS

[outdoordreams]

Thanks Bram, I needed that...........I feel bad for no more updates, but without pictures to post its just not the same! I promise you the pictures are better this year, and will be worth the wait.

The update is, the neighbours "F" strain, is rocking the hillside........Im very impressed!

The boy patch is growing nicely, weve already started thinning out the male selections.........and are waiting a few more weeks to remove the male Africans from the tarp patches................Weve got a Sweetskunk/Congo/Kandahar male that stinks like sweetskunk at about 2 weeks into flower!!!!
The Early Wonder Skunk males are selected down to 2, and the female is a small bush just starting to bud now, the early early female is almost ready for harvest, at about 5-6inches, she stinks something good, should get almost two fatties from her!!!!!hahaha
A highend male has been selected for its super stout structure and smells of blueberry in veg!
Blockhead are getting big with no males showing to date...........

Im still being stocked by the bear, it even ripped up a patch of buckets and bags we burried in the mountain side........its ok because weve decided not to use that patch this year. But he is keeping me on my toes!

Finally having some rainy weather, after weeks of beautiful sunshine, and temperatures reaching the high 30s...........The plants are loving it!

More problems with the partners...........I cant stress enough how important to pick solid partners if you are going to partner up............Dont team up with friends or family! Dont partner with anyone who looks at this plant as a money tree!


Questions for you all!.............

Im having alot of humidity in the tarp areas in the morning and when I fold back the tarp the wet tarp gets bunched up and never really dries out, any ideas or suggestions?

Albi, Ive read parts of the secret flower of life! Major connections with all plants, this Dogon is looking special, both girls and boys!!!!! When you look at plants and trees, do you see Pi? Welcome to the forth dimension!

[Green Supreme]

Hey ODD are you leaving the tarps on all night? If so C-ray suggests tarping in the evening then taking the tarp off when its dark. Less humidity is trapped this way and you don't have to be there first thing every morning. Sorry if this info is redundant. Peace GS

[c-ray]

yup tarp around 5 pm and remove the tarp at complete darkness that's a golden tip I picked up from an oldtimer

[outdoordreams]

Great advice, Thanks to you both for your replies!
I cant tarp until after 7pm because Im still making use of the light until then!
Im going to have to find a better location to tarp next year because that sounds like better schedule, not having to wake up early every morning!!! Ill be looking to catch to morning rays next year so they can get there thing done by 5 pm!

[c-ray]

if you could bring a boat battery and plug in a 12v fan on a timer or something like that to move the air around....that would be helpful

[outdoordreams]

Working very hard this week!!!!! The sun is back and the plants are loving it! Some are getting pretty large!!!!

Update........
Congo/congo/kandahar...........one female is pushing the resin out big time for the last week or so...........smells just divine........6+weeks to go......should be tasty!

Three Sweetskunk/congo/kandahar males to choose from! (Doing a small cross with a female SS/congo/kan for a friends personal seed bank.
The one smells like sweetskunk right off the bat, like I said before.......
but ive selected two other males who smell like menthol.......one more than the other........almost vicks vaporub smelling...........well see what they smell like in 6 more weeks.

Killed hermaphordites of..........
Sweetskunk/congo/kan..........(2 so far)
Dogon priest.........(1 so far)
Seirra leon.........(2-3 so far)


This week has been busy with cutting trees and branches to expose the fall sun to the ladies!!! Gotta make use of that free energy!!!

Astologically yesterday and today are best to prune plants! So everything got its pruning yesterday. Cutting out all the small inner branches helps the plant focus energy on the main buds!!!! Also makes trimming easier!!!!

This week we tried a new cloning technique. After re-reading Robert Clarkes book, I decided to try etoliating the plants before taking the cutting. Basically I wrapped a peice of dark cloth around the stem, and wrapped it with tape, right where I will take the cutting from next week.
Added to this new technique Ive started cutting off the extra leaves now instead of on cloning day........Hoping to reduce stress...........
Now a couple of days before the cloning Im planning on using a syringe to add rooting hormone under the cloth, and also foliar feeding Growth Plus. Day of cloning the clones will be takin at dusk and left in the dark for the night, again hoping to reduce shock.
Also Willow tree and calendula tea will be added to the presoak of cubes or peat pucks!
Ill let you all know how this technique works!!!
Why all the trouble? Ive been having really bad success with clones as of late. Its hard cloning in the bush with temperatures in the high 30. And I really want these clones to survive, and I can only take a couple clones per plant, so they have to count.

Any advice on the above is very welcome!!!!!!

Time to party this weekend, enjoy some mushroom tea, some pot brownies and some locally brewed beers, the whole time enjoying live music preformed by friends! Peace and love outdoordreams!!!!!(Im excited ehhh!!!!!!!)

[outdoordreams]

Thanks for the reply C-ray.
Im thinking Ill be OK because by the time the plants are in full bud, I will no longer be needing the tarps!

Are the Africans going to be OK if I stop tarping Aug 15.
That will be 6 weeks into flower????

[Green Supreme]

Ya hooooo. Go ODD. Hopes and dreams of many live vicariously through you I'm sure. Good vibes headed plantyward. Peace GS

[Bram]

Nice ODD, you da man. I hope the sats are fine with tarps being removed permanently, as mine come off at the same time as yours. :kind: mmmm outdoor sativas :kind:

[Albi]

I saw a documentary about bears last week. You got me thinking yesterday when I was wandering to my spots...........





Too bad about the dogon herm, hope you find some clean females



you have learned me a lot ODD by reading your posts, Im doing teas in my vegetable garden and yes!:headbang:


may the force be with you

[Bram]

bumpitty bump bump how are those sativa gurlz doing man?

[outdoordreams]

Thanks Albi! Whats up Bram, hope your enjoying the summer as much as I am!

The sativas are doing great, the seirra leon females are smelling like breeding stock already!!!! Going to have to cross a male Sierra leon to the Sweetskunk cutting this summer..........
Sengal buddah, has a few different phenos showing. One a little more indica than the pure looking sisters and brothers.

Had to yank a few more hermies the other day. SS/C/K and a C/C/K.

The F' Strain, has some phenos halfway through bud and they should be finished by the end of the month or so.........and should yieild a full pound.
Many phenos, all seem pretty good though.

7foot Highend, and Timebomb plants!!!!!!Yeah baby......
6foot and 5foot Blockhead x-mas trees............
A MightymitexSuperskunkxTimewarpxA3, that is looking super dense, now just starting to flower...........mmmmmm
Been tarping a bunch of small plants and the Candy Canes are feakin huge man........about 3 feet tall and about ?huge? in diameter!

Its been hot and sunny none stop for a good while, although we are getting the odd cloud, its pretty much just grow, grow, grow!!!!

I made my first full homegrown speggetti a couple nights ago...........ohhh its so nice to grow your own food, drink wine you made and smoke herb you grew!!! Its the simple things that really count. The fruit here in the Okanagan is in full swing........mmmmmmmmmmm.

See you all soon! Peace outdoordreams

[Green Supreme]

Word ODD. You da Man. Thanks for the update. Sending the good vibes at you Bro. Peace GS

[Bram]

Wicked dude. That F strain sounds real interesting. Cant wait to check it out.

[dpn]

you have a hard life ood :kind:

[plantbuilder]

^^ .... 'hard as fuck' !! :headbang:

[outdoordreams]

Hard life it is.........being retired so young isnt easy you know...............I dont really work anymore, Im now just a full time hobbist...........good thing Ive got lots of hobbies!

So this week I discovered seeds on my male Sengal buddahs!!!! Resin smells great........Should I use these males in breeding? or NOT

Males with bananas????Should I use or not use????????

The lone Kootney mix seedling is doing great..........the only one to sprout this year, she is just flowering and already smells of pineapple goodness.......I cant wait!!!!!!

So I started using a new tea.........seems to be working, cause all of the plants Ive been feeding to are very happy.
The tea is made from soaking the herbs in water for 24hours, and straining herbs for a second, third, ect batch.........keep using until it stops smelling and looking drinkable..........
Echinechia, Camomile, Catnip, Lavander, Calendula, St. Johns Wart, Comfrey, Stinging nettle, and a couple other herbs I forget the names of.
(PLEASE FORGIVE SPELLING)

Also been feeding bee pollen to one plant, and seems to be having no negative side effects. We shall see side by side comparisions in the next 8weeks.

Things are getting pretty chilly at night already..........Im praying for a long warm fall, cause most of my plants will need it............The neighbours "F", is another story, she is rocking the mountain...........some are super purple, even black!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!Finally found a source of unshelled hemp seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!Fresh sprouted Marijuana juice shooters!!!!!!!

[vapor]

no male hermies please!

[dpn]

do you use just the flowers of the camomile?
what do the following herbs do? increase terpene odor?..
Echinechia
Catnip
Lavander
Calendula
St. Johns Wart

[dpn]

!!!!!! finally found a source of unshelled hemp seeds !!!!!!

i found the cheapest source is the fishing shop, they cost a bomb in the health food stores

[c-ray]

chamomile in humans is very good for calming the digestive tract, in biodynamics the chamomile prep is used in composting, primarly to stimulate the digestion of the soil, helps to stimulate the microbes that reduce foul aromas (ammonia etc)..a chamomile foliar spray is good for transplant shock and other shocks like cloning

I've read that yarrow is supposed to be good for stimulating terpene production

[The Cannarchist]

Rule #1

"Never any Hermies ,EVER."

Now say that to a SE Asian plant and she'll slap you in the Face.

Shame.But there are more seeds....

[dpn]

have you a link to flower/plant teas increasing terpenes in other plants? i would like to read it...

[outdoordreams]

Unshelled Hemp seeds are illegal in northamerica and can not be purchased in stores.
Private sources only!

DPN, Hey buddy! I use the whole camomile plant! Flowers only will do fine!
Stinging Nettle as a companion plant will increase resin and terpene production. So I use it as a tea cause Im hoping it has some influence. (No evidence, just theory)
Like Camomile, Calendula will help heal cuts, when used as a foliar spray. Again Im using both in the tea hoping to benefit. (No evidence, just theory)

Comfrey like Camomile when used as a tea will help break down compost, and dead roots.

St. Johns Wart is an amazing medicinal plant, and agian Im hoping it benefits are available through the tea.

Echinechia boosts the human immune system, why not in plants?
Lavendar, Camomile, ST.Johns Wart, and Catnip are all relaxants and should have some effect on the plants. How Im not sure, but I think I will notice some of the effect in the next few years as I study this area more!


C-ray, Ive actually got Yarrow growing out back!!!!!!Tommorow!

Dearest Cannarchist, No hermies ehhhhhh. (Check your PM) hahahahaha

Blockhead, Highend and Timebomb all have phenos over 7feet tall.
Monsters! Im praying for a long warm summer, and mild warm fall!!
Some with more than 25 tops!!!!!!

Peace outdoordreams

[Green Supreme]

I am sitting with my photographer friend. He's wondering when the pics are comin. Please Please Please. Peace GS

[The Cannarchist]

I'll give him a lift to go shoot...........:drool:

[outdoordreams]

Patience, Patience said the man, Patience patience I cant understand!!!!!
A lovely verse from the Crow soundtrack, artist unknown?

My camera has been under used, but the buds are what we really want to see anyways!!!!!!!

Pollenated two very pungent Sweetskunk/congo/kandahars with a very intersting fruit smelling male Sweetskunk/congo/kandahars.
The Africans are proving hard to collect pollen. They seem to release it slowly over time........A little is all I really need anyway!

Sprayed STS solution on both WattyKush and a Sweetskunk.........should be an interesting seed selection to go through! Hope it works!

Found two Island thai males!!!! I thought Id killed them all, but deep in the woods in a small underwatered patch there they were! Thank goodness I didnt, because this is really a very intersting strain! Drought resistant is for sure! Island thai x Wattykush!!!!

A friend found a potent, early august finishing Strain!!!! I hope he keeps it alive!!!!! Found in a large seed selection!

Timebomb is over 8feet now!
Things are just begging to flower now, some more so than others, but its going to be a late harvest that is for sure!

Peace outdoordreams

[The Cannarchist]

You have to see the Salmon creek Big Bud x Kandahar Male that I found in AF's grow.In full flower now.(Looked to start around 5-7 August,should finish end Sept) He is"The one"

[outdoordreams]

Wow, Yarrow tea is strong! I found lots of white Yarrow growing naturally in the valley, and found some Pink, Purple, and Yellow garden varieties. Im using the White because its growing naturally in the dry valley!

I drank a glass of tea, same reciepe Im feeding the plants, and I was so full of energy yesterday, I could hardly get to sleep.

SCBB, sounds great. Should be good medicine!

[The Cannarchist]

Good for those African ladies......

[markscastle]

Hey if you ever have snell or slug problems try a loop of copper wire around the stem on the ground.They won`t cross copper! Some slug and snell goo have copper sulfate in it. Just make sure the loop is big enough not to get tight on the stem as it grows!

[outdoordreams]

I use diatomacious earth , so I dont really ever have that problem, but thanks!

Super windy last night, going to have to tie these monsters up better!!!

[dpn]

did you take any nug shots odd...

[outdoordreams]

The update will come soon, Ive got lots of veg shots, and a very few bud shots............I will be doing more dry bud shots next week with a photography friend, and will post all pictures within the month.(that my new goal)

This fall was very cloudy and resulted in slow growth. Some strains still produced well, others didnt. The biggest was a Blockhead which yeilded 19oz.

Full update to come...........Stop by in December for an update.
Peace outdoordreams

[Voix]

19 ounces of blockhead! I couldnt handle it. That stuff makes me unbelievably goofy....haha. Way to go!

[Albi]

thats crazy man


hows the africans? okay I'll wait:respect:

[outdoordreams]

Albi, the africans were fun to play with, but I messed up by not tarping them long enough!!!!

I think I got the photoshop working..........testing, testing 123

This is the outdoor hash from the 06 crop.........

It was enjoyed by many............only 1gram left! Time to sample the 1 year cure!!!!

[outdoordreams]

This was the Biggest bear Ive seen up close........I was closer than this photo, but I had no camera at the time!

[Albi]

damn!!


a big bear!

[outdoordreams]

Spring Sunshine.................and a young Dogon Priest.

[outdoordreams]

The last of a very good thing...............maybe we can make more?

[Green Supreme]

I bet I know where there is more of that. Peace GS

[outdoordreams]

A patch of medicinal flowers.........Echinechia! Organic!!!

The second photo is white Yarrow flowers, wild, organic!!

[Albi]

^^^didnt knew breeder steve had a nute. wowski


hope you get to play those africans once more ODD! That dogon got the looks...

[outdoordreams]

Ive got a few of each African variety left to try! Next time Ill do right!

[outdoordreams]

Here is the 19oz Blockhead, still in veg!
The second photo is the finished monster upside down.
Bringing this plant down the mountain in one piece was an adventure!!!!!

[outdoordreams]

Sticky Vision mix.............I should have labeled things better this year.........but its harder than you think!

[outdoordreams]

Vision mix............they all burn good, but all still had too much nitrogen.

Im think the second photo is a Sweetskunk x Congo/Kandahar

[Green Supreme]

Beautiful colors Bro.Nice work. Peace GS

[outdoordreams]

Purple Pineberry pheno #2
The second photo is early in flower.

[outdoordreams]

EarlyWonderSkunk............I only had one female, but she looked better than she smoked, she took a long time in flowering, was sticky but not potent, smelled great, but lost its smell.
She yeilded well, I cant remember if it was 6 or 8 oz......not bad for a small plant........

[outdoordreams]

My favorite, a nice outdoor sativa.........the kootney pineapple.......mmmmmmmgood

[Bram]

mmmm pineapple yummm.... how did your Island thais turn out thisyear?

[outdoordreams]

The island thai were all started from seed around the begging of JULY!
All finished by mid october, very uniform genetics. They all are fairly resinous, but not killer, I think when I make the Island thai honeyoil it will be something fine! Oz's look like 2 oz's! Great Bong weed!

The purplepineberry x island thai really puts me in a great headspace!
Cant wait to germinate the Islandthai x Watty kush!
Ive also got a load of Island thai seeds.............more than I need!!!

Peace outdoordreams

[Rainha Ginga]

[The Cannarchist]

She was a great combo.

I swear I could have carved baseball bats out of her main base stem

[outdoordreams]

Heres a short and stout snake making its way through the bush!
The second pic it of a 9foot Timebomb, not quite a baseball bat, but it sure made a great sparing sword!

[outdoordreams]

A happy group of Timebombs...................the 9footer is the second from the right!

[Green Supreme]

Mmmmm Timebomb. Peace GS

[outdoordreams]

Here is the Timebomb plant pictures.........Very vigorous genetics........Tasty, potent, and healthy.

[outdoordreams]

Two more Timebombs..........

[The Cannarchist]

Timebomb ROCKS!

[outdoordreams]

Yeah, the stone from all the timebomb phenos are nice...........wish we had a better fall!


A couple side notes to add to this thread...........

This year I did much less training of plants, and less Supercropping.
I think outdoors those techniques may hurt the yeild.
Indoors I think its great to save space and reduce plant numbers......
But outdoors, the plants left alone, found their own space, and developed according to their enviroment. While the plants that where supercropped......seemed to crowd themselves!

Watch the PH of the creek, cause it changes during the season.
Mine climbed to 8.5..........quite high......

Powdery Mildew was not a big problem, but what I did have, LEMON JUICE worked very well...............I still lost a few plants, but most infected stuff was good after one or two applications......

Genetics are the most important part of the grow!!!!!!!
Thanks again to all that helped with this years genetics.
There are far to many contibutors to name, but you all know who you are.

Summer 08 should be fun........with even more genetics.
We are putting together a massive selection of outdoor genetics.
Also collecting all the elite indoor strains we can get our hands on, and tarping them to perfection for the TIN CAN COLLECTION.

So collect all your clones and mail them to ODD @ GreenSantasWorkshop.

[The Cannarchist]

The results of a 500 seed Early outdoor winter breed out will be coming your way..

Early Timewarp
Early timewarp F2's
Early Oregon A,B and C
Auto Timewearp F4

Plus the usual host of interesting strains for you to tarp in.

You grow,you show you get the next round.

Did you ever try the Dogon ,even if fucked up on the light time?

[outdoordreams]

Thanks Cannarchist, for all that you do!

Looking forward to the next round! Best of luck with your next round as well!

No I never got to smoke the dogon.............I havent seen the african hash pile yet...............it may contain a smokable sample of Seirra leon, and maybe enough to try a DOGON, but not likely.............Ill make it all into hash, and see what happens.

[vapor]

you want to be carefull topping outside usually one or two tops and thats it if you have a drop off season then a prolonged flowering period is not good .,.,
wonderful shots as usual !! thanks!!!

[Voix]

Beautiful plant locations! Makes me want to roll out the sleeping bag, and take a nap under those ladies. Stunning!

[Steve Pick]

much respect. CRAZZZZZZY. the plantes look very happy with you

[Limeygreen]

Really nice show and grow.
That rare flo selection looks similar to BBS to me, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
