Satan's Grow

[§à†áÑ]

I finally decided to start a grow log, more then halfway through the grow.
This is one of my plots, the largest of 4 with 18 plants. I have 2 clones of a cross im working on that is Sugar Klingon x BOG's Sour Bubble BX-3 (they are in the pots) and the rest were started from seed indoors around late march and are Skunk #11 x Super Skunk, also another cross im deviseing in the lair.
Pictures go from preperation of the plot, to most recent which was today. I use my own soil mix, fert mixture and bug spray, i think i have all my bases covered except for the numerious attack from the groundhogs this year that caused me to lose 6 plants from numerious plots. My largest plants are roughly 8 1/2 feet tall right now and are expected to get to atleast 10 before flowering starts. None of the plants at this plot were trained (obviously) since the genetics im useing at this plot simply grow to fast and i dont have time to get out to this plot more then once a week.
Enough with the chit-chat heres the pictures.
Any questions or comments are welcome i will keep the thread updated with pictures at least once a week. None of the skunk crosses have started to show preflowers yet.

Lookin good Satan, I'll be sticking around for this.
You mentioned your bug spray, do you pretreat them or wait until they show signs?

[§à†áÑ]

Its more of a soap mixture that is easily washed off, so depending on the rainfall its once a week. The bugs are pretty fiearce around here so i try to keep a good coat on them at all times.

[prettybuds]

Gotcha. Are you using feminized beans for the non-clones or just hoping for the best?

[§à†áÑ]

I dont believe in the whole feminization process and like i said this is a cross im working on so they are beans that im just hopeing for the best, i have yet to see a single preflower.

did you say your plants are 8.5 feet tall???

...my god.



the plants look real healthy. i have my eye on a few i think are males, but ill wait and see because theres no real way to tell yet. have you considered force flowering them or are you set on letting them naturally finnish?

I also have two picked out from the plot posted that i think just might be males... it always seems like the most healthy largest most juicey looking ones are always males...
I was going to take a cutting so many times when i was out there and bring them back to the flower room and try flower them once rooted to find the sex out sooner but i was to busy and in less then a month i should be seeing who is who mother natures way anyway.

Also, nobody commented on my tomatoe cages placed all around the one clone in the background becuase the groundhogs / bunnies just wouldnt leave it the hell alone? lol, i ran out of ideas....

Hello again everyone, ive been real busy with life issues, i havent had time to update, or get on this forum much in general.
But here i am now, and heres an update, almost 15 days later... lol

My plants are just now starting to show preflowers, meaning flower time should be right around the corner, i cant wait.
Turns out, one of the suspected males i had picked out is a beautiful female, along with the two clones (they better be...) Anyway, thats all that started showing flowers so far, the two clones and the one skunk. I am still waiting on the sex of everyone else.
Finally, ive lost two more plants to deer at this plot, they have also been eating the hell out of the bottom branches on most of my plants, im not sure if its deer or another animal, i cant think of many other animals that would be able to reach up that high that are in my area.
Basicly i have 10 foot tall plants, with only about 5-6 feet of actual growing area on them, they remind me of palm trees, lol.
PICTURES:

1: I thought it was cool that he decided to make its home under one of the fan leaves on one of my babies.

2: Preflowers on the one clone.

3: The clone the preflowers were on.

4: Freflowers on the first skunk. (They are a bit hard to see, look to the right side)

5: The skunk the preflowers were on, this plant is about 8 1/2 feet tall, one of the smaller ones.

6: One of the 10 foot tall plants i was talking about, i couldnt get the bottom in the picture (i was already standing back a good bit) but you can kinda see how half of the bottom of the plant is missing from deer or something.



Well thats the update for now, let me know what you think.
Does everyone like my strategy to keep whatever the hell was eating my plants away from my clones? Lol, all those tomatoe cages used were from plants that were already eaten...

Nice tat. What lat are you at? Cause if your showing Pre's now, Im wondering when i will.

Satan- try and get some moth balls (wallymart), deers and rabbits hate to smell that stuff.....put them in a circle around the whole area.....almost everything will stay clear of your spot.

Grow on.....I will.

[§à†áÑ]

Im in the Northern US
Ive tryed moth balls, soap shaveing, human hair, numerious brands of "pest" repellant, shards of glass, and various other things and nothing seems to be working.
Im not to concerned anymore, my plants are just reaching 10 feet tall and all the bottom growth has already been eaten away and it doesnt seem to be becomming more of a problem, so ill just sit back and relax. Im expecting at least a pound off of each one of my 10 footers, we will see how that turns out though.

[prettybuds]

Thank God I don't need to worry about animals where mine are (within a fence)...but thankfully you've grown monsters! Wouldn't the bottom of those have kinda been shabby yielding anyway due to the tops getting the most direct sunlight? So hopefully it doesn't dimish the yields much. Since these are 10 feet already, when they finish flower, how big do you expect them? I can't wait to see full bloom pics, I wish I could smell them!

Have you tried sitting a small jar of gasoline next to your plants? it has worked for me so far

[§à†áÑ]

Things are comming along nicely, the clones and 1 skunk is in full flower, i have a confirmed skunk male that was chopped today, i also have 2 other skunks that havent shown any signs of sex yet STILL, im not sure what they are doing...
Everything is well and good, no more deer / other rodent attacks, not really much to say other then wish them luck!

Picture 1: Female flowers on a clone, and a pretty cool looking bug.
Picture 2: Side view of said flowers.
Picture 3: A fuckin deer snapped my one clone about halfway awile back, i did a little doctor job on it and this is how it looks now.
Picture 4: Side view of a budsite on a skunk.
Picture 5: Topview of said budsite.
Picture 6: Male flowers on the male i was talking about.
Picture 7: What happens to the males around these parts... we dont take to kindly to their types round' here...


I how everyone elses grows are going as enjoyable as mine so far, nothing like mother nature.
