Umbra, they both showed males. DARN IT.. I have been thinking about them. I think since they are nice robust plants I will wait til next season outdoor, unless you think I should run them under led. What do you think? Indoor or out for the temples? So disappointed when they showed a couple of days ago. I guess getting 4 LA's that were all female messed with the girl/ boy stats.

I cloned the LA's.. They root fast. I definitely want to keep them going..the prettiest plants out there maybe. I just can't wait to smoke that. woohoo

TC, I don't know what i am doing just copying you. lol. I think the netting alone will be enough. These plants have experienced high winds. I am flying by the seat of my pants here so any suggestions would be appreciated. I have bamboo stakes, tall ones so I can use those if needed.

Thanks son Ston for dropping in. DGF, very nice to have you here as well. thanks guys.

hoangkien207 Thank you I am sure!

I love this outdoor growing.. I can't imagine going back into a small space with inadequate ventilation...

I am so over my count with the clones you all may have to bail me out.

Looks good Rose, sure would like to see you grow the Nightshade out in the sun when the time comes, that's on my bucket list too

 

[Rosebud]

Should I put that on my winter led or my summer grow Kraven?

Should I put that on my winter led or my summer grow Kraven?

Just when you feel the time is right, I just want to see a pro grow her, and outdoors would be really really epic to me, but she is yours to do with as you please.

 

[Rosebud]

I am going to go start a list and put it with my seeds and put Nightshade first for an outdoor grow. I won't have more than 4 plants next year, but lets get her in the sun.

Temple balls(?) will be second!~

 

[Kraven]

Sounds epic to me Rose. It would be cool to see her in the natural sun, cooked by a Master Gardner like yourself.

 

[umbra]

Rose, I bet they will do well either with the LED or outdoor next year.

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks Umbra, Kraven.

There were 50 mph winds this weekend and i was at my hs reunion having way too much fun.

Poor Mrrb had to go stake plants. Lost all but one branch on one of them. Another LA split right down the middle but mr rb was there and taped it back and it is fine...wow.
He moved pots to shield them...

They are in flower earlier than last year and that makes me very happy. Pictures when i recover from the reunion.

 

[tcbud]

Oh no Rose! Good work on the tape. Mr. TC has done that before with good results. Mojo at you for no more big winds.

 

[orangesunshine]

that Mr. RB sure has a green thumb---nice tomato plants ya got there missy---where are the tomatoes---seems they should be well on their way by now---pardon me if i just can't see them---my vision is a bit distorted---can we get some close-ups---if you get those high winds before the trellis comes you might think about just wrapping some twine around each plant several times round to hold it together kind of like that tomato cage you are already using--- :icon_smile:

 

[Sin inc]

pulling up a seat sis not going to miss this on. I still remember your first grow here. you have came a long way sis . cant wait to see and learn more from you

beautiful plants, rose. very envious. i started reading this thread from the start and have this to say about cloning. i am as you know new to growing and not very good at it(and a bit whiny and self-deprecating) but i have had good results cloning using honey. i took 8 cuttings from my plants(4 each from the BeP and the super Be) and all 8 rooted. i just cut the stem of the cutting at a 45 degree angle and then split it lengthwise into 4 sections about 1/4 in up the stem from the 45 degree cut(sorry, there really is not math. i don't know why it is so difficult for me to convey this method). then i dipped them in organic honey and put them in some of those clone pod things. just watered the pods thouroughly and put them in a plastic storage bin and covered with saran wrap. put a 23 watt cfl over the whole mess and in maybe 10 days had roots coming out of the pods. btw-grew an la confidential my first grow. nice hard buds with good pain relief properties for me and my son. i will shut up now...

 

[Rosebud]

Oldfogey8, please don't shut up. That is so cool about the honey. I found i needed more humidity and the dome has helped a lot. Sounds like that is what you are doing too. I am glad you like the LA, did you let it go amber?

So I am not the smartest grower around. You know how I was bragging about FOUR FEMALE LA's WELL, i lied. Two are boys!!!! Thank goodness I found them before the spewed. I caught them in plenty of time... But shoot! The upside is there will be lots better air circulation.

Here is an update, we are seeing some flowering and I am tickled about that.

Our state of Washington is on fire. It is so smoky out there this morning, I am afraid to go out. We have lost 3 firefighters last week. No amount of monetary loss is worth their lives.

 

[Grower13]

Behind those fires is new life Rose........ They do a lot of prescribe burning in my parts. Helps keep the wild fires to a minimum.......... The jungle is looking awesome Rose.

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks G13. So sad the loss of life. Firefighters are awesome to run in while everyone else runs out.

I have never seen this many fires in our state..

Yes, the plants are looking nice. Some of the older on in pots need top dressed with soil. I also need to do the EM1 that stuff rocks.

 

[Rosebud]

Orangesunshine, Excuse me? Mr rb has a green thumb? You are ornery. He sure taped that one big LA back together and saved it..so I guess.

I got maters!

 

[Kraven]

Rose the Icookies are looking epic, biggest one I have ever seen, she is a beauty.

 

[oldfogey8]

like all my plants, i harvested the la confidential too early and it is still awesome pain relief smoke. i still have a small nugget left from my 2012 grow. btw - love the bleeding heart pic earlier in the thread. i have them all over my yard. my wife thinks of them as invasive but i just like how they look.

 

[tcbud]

Sure am bummed bout the western states burning up.

Give your girls a quick spray if the ash builds up too much. That is what we are doing. My closest fire is about 16 miles. We are getting a fair amount of ash as the normal wind comes right at us from there. Talked to some fire fighters at the laundromat the other day, they sure we're good guys. Got to admire them. They are true heroes. RIP those lost this year and in years past, always a heartfelt tragedy.

Flowers look beautiful Rose. All of your girls do.

 

[Kraven]

Wow from wicked heat to vicious fires, all you western OD growers are having a tough time.
