Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation

I moved into a new home a few months back and immediately set about preparing a vegie garden. In the process I discovered some cannabis shoots, obviously remnants of the previous tenants (blessings to you!). So I thought I'd let them grow, not having grown the good herb before, and now their towering above the roof guttering and I'm not sure what to do with them from this point. They are about 14 /15 weeks old, growing in the ground, and nestled amongst the tomatoes and snake beans. The soil is rich and volcanic. I turned it over before planting and dug in some green manure and compost, with a layer of mulch on top. Each fortnight I fertilise modestly with worm juice and …

These are my 3 for the year... sativa looking was planted in june and revegged, just gettn odd hair again now, other 2 were from a seed tin that was over 5 years old and only 2 popped up, healthy as from start and one has turned girl... have been tied down alot and still have a bit of growing to do!!

So I need to speed up my grow as I'm moving soon. I've constructed an "outdoor dark room" (for the want of a better description) out of a table and some black bags so I can trick my plants into thinking it's 12/12 time. What I want to know is, if after a couple of weeks of 12/12 the plants start flowering, can I stop putting them in the dark room or will the extra light stop them from flowering? The seeds I used are White Diesel Feminised Indica X if that makes a difference. Thanks

Recently I moved from a bush block to a pair of suburban quarter-acre blocks with a house on one of them; the second block grows the food garden which is substantial. Been here about four years now. Initially I built a 1200 x 1200 x 2400 grow room and over the first years boosted the light input from 400wHPS to now, a pair of 600W in cool tubes. This does a great job BUT it is energy intensive and a $900+ hydro bill/quarter (for all uses including the grow lights and heat in the grow room) is a bit painful to a pair of oldies. Last winter I conceived of a method to grow indoor varieties outdoors. Someone on this list called it a Light Restriction grow. We built a box t…

Hey all, I'm thinking about starting a small grow like 2-3 plants outdoors in Melbourne, is it too late to be thinking about this? Indoors is not really a option due to the whole set up and having parents come visit etc

Hi, So I've been reading that plants won't star flowering until there is 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, is there any way to change this outdoors or am I at the mercy of nature? - My plant has been growing for 4 months now and I don't really want it to get any bigger. I think it's just started to show it's sex and I think it's female (I'd post pics but the only camera I have is a shitty camera phone) Also, does the plant need total darkness at night? - I live in the inner city and it's never completely dark in my yard due to the amount of street light around. I've read that even a small amount of light at night can fuck things up. Thanks

Hi all I thought I would post here about my little beauties in the garden. And more so it is a serious case of "Guerrilla Growing". Having moved to central QLD 6 months ago, away from my usual supply of fine smoke (scoreing off the same person regually for over 10 years) I never thought about growing my own. Having been busted twice over the last 10 years I would of never grown anything at home (outside or inside). The "PIGS" made me and my partner feel like CRIMINALS!! over $50 bucks worth of pot and a pipe and some old seeds.................To make things worse the "PIGS" were young enough to be my Kids,and treated me like a Kid!! Well since then like I said I have m…

Hi all I got wondering with all the recent rains we are getting and all the flooding hows it affecting your outdoor crop? Waterlogged, washed away? I got wondering about this after seeing all the crop damage on the news. Anyone had a chance to get to check their plants and if so did they survive? or are they damaged? Good news from all I hope...........................
