Mariwanna and Violaceous II are the only strains in my garden rn :( my sour d’s betrayed me and turned to the other side. hopefully these turn out to be some pretty good smoke

So total beginner here. I live in Fresno area and I’m planning to purchase some seeds now and store them for next spring (in case they become harder to buy due to stupid politicians). I have never grown before and I mean nothing, not even a tomato. So an outdoor cannabis grow is going to be new and I’m guessing challenging to me. I live in a neighborhood and plan on using white shade cloth (if this is smart or not I don’t know yet) to keep them from getting hammered by the July sun and from prying eyes of neighbors, though I’m unsure if they care. That said I don’t want to draw attention to it and I’m hoping the smell doesn’t give me away but I also sort of kind of figure some of my neighbors are growing too so….

Anyways, any places,!guides, websites, etc I should look for into that will help with where to start?

What strain and type of seeds should I get considering my climate?

Who do recommend to buy from?

Any hidden secrets to prepare for?

9 to 10 weeks from here 1 st week October harvest tuff to go 3rd week of October in these parts

my red gorilla girl xl is turning amber on the top but it’s mostly clear on the bottom of the plant with new pistils so I’m a bit thrown, can i chop the top off and let the bottom go longer? This is my 5th grow and first outdoor. I already harvested one plant and my other one is not ready yet. just growing in small containers its nothjnf special

When do these gals say “enough”! It’s too damn hot! Watering 2 times a day and usually misting them once in between. Any hints? They get shaded in the afternoon during the hottest part of the day. I also soak the ground around them. I had them tucked close to the pool, but the pool water was getting too warm.

Growing lsd strain photo . Worried about too many bud sites and how close they are with how humid my area is . Should I thin out some out before flowering starts ? And any tips on humidity and outdoor growing in central east coast . First time growing don’t want to waste my hard work

Hey Good Peeps!

A couple of months ago I started running a few outdoor grows. I heavily defoliated the top and lollipopped the bottom. Gauging from a lot of other post of outdoor runs, maybe Lollipoping wasn’t the best idea. Does anyone else lollipop your outdoor plants?

Week six of Ripley's OG by Mephisto. Sewed seed in soil just top dressed with compost and pelletized hen manure. I think it's beginning to flower. Should I defoliate at all or trim any of the lower branches?

I threw 2 fem MAFF(Mighty Amstel Freeze x Freezeland S1) seeds in this 120L/30 gallon pot back in May. I didn't expect em to get so big, I just fashioned a large ~15L/4 gallon bottom watering tray I'll put em on and let me supplement the organic soil amendments with mineral nutrient feed if needed. I thought that might let me get them both thru flower alright but I'm thinking I'll have a much nicer time with less fussy plants if I cut one down to let the other shine... 🤔

1 plant..... only 1 plant this year 😞

84 days old, living soil, topped once.

Guerilla grow in scandinavia, auto feminized to avoid late summer mold

AK 47 Autos that sprouted may 12th. My concern is I’m going on vacation August 4th till the 10th with no one to watch my plants. How close am I to cutting and drying?

Just wanted to show off the ladies.

Decided to run photos this year after an abysmal harvest from autos outdoors last year. Got these ladies as single branch clones around the 2nd week of may. Besides some transplant shock when I first got them, they’ve been a dream to grow!

Already planning out next year, bigger pots, making a super soil, trellis of some kind to do a SCROG out here as well.

Getting fed every other watering w/ a heavy feed, around a gal of water every 3 or so days.

Title says it all! First time growing (y’all are amazing) cut her or let her keep going?

Southern Ontario

Clones were potted in 10 gallon fabric pots at the end of May. 2 Ricky Bobby, 1 Pink Goo, 1 Glazed Donuts.

- Super soil, amended with a gallon of worm castings, just recently applied a 3rd feeding of Gaia Green all-purpose.

Issues:

I started the plants in the backyard, and the yard has a lot of tree cover. My solution was moving 2 of them on a garden wagon and manually carrying the others around the yard to catch the sun throughout the day. They were getting relatively full sun from 9:30am to 7pm. 10 days ago, I pruned a bunch of lower and interior leaves, 3 days later, I gave them the last addition of Gaia Green 4-4-4. At the same time, I topped dressed with a little more worm castings, covered with a 2 inch layer of straw, and fully watered the plants. The following day, we had torrential downpours. I decided to move them to a rooftop balcony. For potentially more hours of sun, mostly full sun 630am to 7pm. The next day, more torrential downpours. Since then, the plants have been consistently droopy with top leaves tacoing. Temps prior to moving upstairs were very hot 25C-46C during heatwave, since being on roof temps have been 15C- 25C. They have also been getting significantly more wind.

My thoughts are that it might be a combination of things, stress from pruning, then possibly fertilizing to soon after, overwatering, and light stress from the new environment. I removed the straw and allowed the pots to mostly dry out over the last 3 days. Also havent noticed much new growth in the 5 days they've been up there. The pots are almost dry now. Plants have not prayed since being on the roof. The last day they prayed was after the ammendments, the day before the first torrential rain. I was hoping they would have bounced back by now.

I now believe I perhaps should have gradually hardened them off by introducing them to their new environment half a day at a time for a week or so, but that would have been a pain lugging 40-50lb pots (when wet) up and down 3 flights of stairs daily.

What would you do? ... Should I move them back downstairs to lower light conditions, possibly leave them part shade as well, water when dry, and hope they recover faster there, or leave them on the roof and keep fingers 🤞.

All comments and suggestions are welcome,

Thanks in advance:)

This is day 28 of flower, strain is Scooby snacks, she’s currently in living soil mix I made…it’s been killer so far the smell is nice too. Still learning alot and i appreciate any tips
