Bacchus' outdoor garden

[Guest bacchus]

*Swazi x Skunk (or is it just swazi skunk...bugger i can't remember!)

 

I think they're both the same... We know what ya mean tho...

 

hey growmad...

 

apparently these are actually different...bedlam over at cannagentics informs me that the swazi skunk is a south african strain and the swazi x skunk is completely different....

i was given the seeds and have just found the info that came along with them...they are definately swazi x skunk from nirvana...

 

it can get so confusing with similarly named strains.....

 

i look forward to comparing notes over the grapefruit x.....really looking forward to getting those going, same goes for the VB x BH...i have not come across outdoor grow reports on these, perhaps bred more specifically for indoors, but we will see how we go....

 

thanks for your input everyone...

Im looking at putting a plant outside but the neighbours are pretty close, whats a good low smell strain for this??

Also the guy behind me has Bee hives, in all my outdoors plants ive not seen the effect on Bees on our flowers, do u think they could be benefit?

 

What is comfrey? and how do I use it??

hi weekprick, bees are grouse to have around...once you get to know em, dont fear them or theyll getcha! i wouldnt worry too much about smell as much as the visual risk...deal with that as best you can (tie em down or whatever). comfrey is a perennial herb that grows anywhere basically, loves a bit of dampness. it dies down in winter and grows again in the spring, DONT LET IT FLOWER!!! you pull the leaves off in the summer and tear em up, chuck em round your plants and theyll rot down on the soil surface, keep doing this until you pull the crop...so easy, even you can do it i say dont let it flower cause itll take the joint over.

for all you mad composters out there, its a great activator, yarrow(achillea) works well too. spose i better let onto the secret...potassium in a natural, ready to use form...plus it makes a better gardener out of you

I caught one in my lounge today, they are native non stinging bees so all the better,

Im going to get a hold of some comfrey now thanks.

bees like too collect the resin from your buds.

 

There is some culture where they plant the cannabis near the bees and to get stoned they just eat the honey instead, true honey oil.

 

Anyhoo, sounds heaps good bacchus, Look forward to seeing the pictures. Hope you have a good season and we get a bit more rain this year. which of course we wont until a time when your buds are susceptible to mould.

cheers WC....i'm keeping my fingers crossed for good rain at the right time...being kinda close to the big dam means that we usually get a pretty good rainfall...but if this dry spell keeps up there will be a lot of supplementing with buckets

Good luck with the weather.

 

I want nothing but sunshine and weekly rain as too much rain causes humidity indoors and I use bagged moss/compost outdoors.

I found water crystals to be real good outside.

Thats real, its from an old MJ book I got, dunno which one and cant be bothered looking it up.

 

Anyhoo, with your outdoor plants get a bucket and a big rag, and put the rag 1/2 in the bucket and half around the plant and fill the bucket with water and its like a wick system.

[Guest weekprik]

yea those wicks work pretty good, I used one once to try it out and it worked good.

not much good for those that plant and leave though as the res would need to be filled wouldnt it? or do you mean it collects rainwater.
