first outdoor speed queen grow

[Underpantsman]

Looks great JT, 6 out of 10 is awesome for regular seeds. You are doing great. Love the uniformity and bushiness of them, Mandala really stabilized those genes. Cant wait to see the pics on Monday

Edit: Tried to rep you and it wouldnt let me, weird because I havent been online in awhile, you must have been the last guy I repped.

hello all and welcome to week 10 of my grow. well as of friday they were all transplanted to there final resting places. tip:need pots for transplanting and dont want to spend 6 dollars for a bucket at home depot? call your local nursery and ask for nursery pots called one down the street and got all the pots i could need. they were alll transplanted into 5 gal pots one (the mutant) got a lil bigger one. they recieved the same potting mix but this time i amended the soil with wormcastings i relize now using a promix is good but the nutrient content is very little or i just have some hungry plants. they all seem very happy now and i have stoped feeding at the moment. nice having them in bigger pots alot less watering so far. im actually glad i only now have 6 with them in bigger pots they take up alot of space . 2 are in lst and have responded very well to it they righted themselves the same day they were tied . one has alot of pistils on it alot more than the others right now so i think this will be the first one done. i am considering on force flowering one by placing a plact trash bag on it in the evenings and once sun sets remove it .(tired of expensive crappy pot ) what do u all think ? have any of you done this before? well nothing more to report that i can think of so goodbye for now and ill see u here on monday for week 11.

good luck to you and all your grows

Loving those plants jt, just wanted to let you know, I tried to just give you some rep and not post but it still wont let me, so I figured Id post to give you some props my man. Great work on those SQ's. I want this strain for next year, I hope Mandala grows some more of these beans for his next release.

Edit: What are those things you are using for stakes and where did you get them? I like the color for guerilla grow possibly.

they are metal rods made to look like bamboo have had them for years got them from a local nursery. you should be able to find them on the net though ill look today if i do find them ill let you know where. i am really likeing these mandala seeds also guess thats wht you get when u get good seed stock. looked at there site the other day and was going to order seeds for the fall indoor grow but found out there closed till january 09. witch sucks so now i have to find a new supplier for seeds oh well. thanks for the comments.

take it easy

Yeah 2009 is his next release, there are still a few packs around at some of the distributors, seedboutique still has Kalichakra and White Satin. I havent seen Speed Queen anywhere though. Im sure Mandala Mike will have some more in January, Speed Queen is real popular.

Im interested in growing outdoors, and am wonder what the odor issue's are with an outdoor setup like your's?

[jt45255]

they do definatley give off a scent but mostly its when you brush up against them ore the wind blows and shakes the plant but it really isnt bad unless your really close to it . but it does tend to creep into the house sometimes because of where they are so might be hard to hide if u an uninvited guest. i have alot of other plants on my deck also and i mean a good amount if i put everything on one side of the deck it would be close to half so there is plenty there to cover it but it just hasent bloomed yet .

alright thank you because i have a good location, where absolutely nobody will go but may drive within 100 ft with a tractor and not be able to see them, but maybe smell. Thank you for you input though!!

Beautiful plants man, Mandala's got Grade A genetics.

Hooray for outdoor Mandala growers!

thanks for the comments i really wish i would of ordered some other strains from them when i bought these . oh well a lil update well had a boo boo last night i was trying to spread out the mutant that is lst and all of the sudden i heard a very quite snap. and well it split right at the bottom soo i took my roll of tie down velcro and pushed them together the brake isnt that bad and the plant seems none for the worse. made a 3x3x5 flowering chamber that is now on the deck covered in black poly. cost me like 25 bucks to make and the wood was all scrap from my garage. so since the accident i think ill be flowering that one and one other so that i can have a early harvest in aug and let the other 4 go through there full cycle. no pics today sorry all way to hot out side 92+ and im beat after building that darn box. so ill have plenty of pics come monday.

have a great weekend everyone and smoke on 4 me

peace,love and chicken grease

well hello all again and welcome to week 12 of my grow. been a busy week last week but had a great time doing it . 1. constructed flowering box 3x3x5.5 covered in black poly from home depot for 14.00 all the wood was here already but made mostly by 1x2 . started flowering both the mutant and one other . as of today the other one is starting showing signs of flowering. the 3 tallest plants were topped on thursday i didnt want to do this by anymeans but i feel that inorder to keep as low a profile as i can i had to do i hope this dosent drastically change my yeild as i am in new waters with all this new stuff. ive never forced flowered or toped or lst. also i picked up some cloning solution to see what happens with the cuttings i took from the lowest branches that werent getting alot of light . hmm maybe im bitting off more than i can chew but hell its worth a shot . also have resumed feeding as of yesterday . thats all i can think of at the moment. anyone that reads this post and if u have done any of the above new stuff let me know how it worked out for you what did u learn,mistakes made? remember knowledge is power people.

have a safe and fun 4th of july

theyre looking beastly bro! gl with the rest of the grow

[jt45255]

hello all and welcome to week 13 of my grow. the 6 clones i took last week seem to be doing well they are under 24 hour floresent tubes. sprayed with water every day. the teo that i had started flowering with my box are now in bloom they are small but plentiful all the way done to the lowest branches. also have switched these 2 to there bloom formula i hope i havent done this too early but i guess time will tell they have had 2 feedings of it so far and one plant seems to be yellowing a lil on the lower branches but nothing sever. other four plants are looking well the ones i have topped now have 2 brances going up about 4 inches from the cut.
i do have a question to all of you though when they say 55 days flowering time is that from the onset of 12 hr photoperiod or after the first apperance of flowers.

well all enjoy the pics and see you next week
good luck to you all with your grows.
