Late July '11, buds looking big already? wth...

Okay kids, it's late July and like I had posted in the previous months blog, like it says in the High Times calendar, if you flower your plants in late spring (quite on accident while trying to det. sex outside for a coupla weeks, hey you stick em out there for ONE WEEK and they'll start to get horny!)...they will continue to flower through the summer and not stop until now, or it's lookin like mid august at the latest.  The Sativas, unfortunately, are looking real yellow (I don't know if it was crap soil, crap nutes, or what, but I definitely stayed on top of watering and didn't OVERNUTE em... maybe a little less nutes than recommended, but I don't think soooo.... so what could be the cause of all of these yellow leaves?  I know this much, I stuck a couple of plants in trash cans, drilled out the bottom, put bags of Home depot "Organic Choice" (brown bag), and they are as green as a dead president.  I was sort of expecting bigger veg and hence a bigger harvest, but as I am growing outdoors which is technically illegal here in Cali (San Diego is a fascist medi pot County in general, worse than LA even)...but if you flower plants out in april and they have any indica in em at all, THEY WILL KEEP FLOWERING ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER!!!

 I would  recommend that if you are able to sex plants in veg, (I think very few people are, even with the biggest veggies) you do so.  Otherwise, stick em out in April, but WATCH THEM EVERY DAY!!! if they show any Bud activity AT ALL, it may be too late.  I PUT  the plants under the halide light for two straight weeks at 24/7 but I'm just glad I ordered more seeds this season because the clones I took from the plants that just started to flower (!!!) are all still clone sized, and, of course, have tiny little buds and resin glands on em.  Thin is not HT  cover shot material folks.  This is a big time  fuckup.  So I ordered a few more seeds so I could get some genetics for next year, right? Well, I don't know wtf autoflowering seeds are supposed to do but they are advertised as growing large and with decent buds (at least, OMG, this was Barney's Farm Pineapple Express).... And I germinated em right and stuck em out in the middle of summer.  Most of them lived. But they turned into 6" tall palm trees with tiny buds at the top. What gives?  I'm going to have to look this shit up cause I thought an autoflower was a good way to go if you want to go outddors all year. Most of these "Plants" are gone. Hey would you want the cops busting you for going over your plant count with bs plants like these? NO! So i ordered some more seeds.  These were the real  deal Pineapple Express which is only available from G-13 labs, which, incedentally has nothing whatsoever to do with that farm full of shitty wild growing mexican brick herb down in Mississippi.  And I got a good free white widow seed from Dinafem (again, please do yourself a favor and get your seeds from Attitude s.b....   Dr. Greenthumb is the only other  co. out there that's even close and they are a boutique outfit from CA; they have strains that no one else does,  but they cost about $15-20 apiece!  Not fem either!  So here is the pic of these in early veg, they are in my kitchen plant window, you know, the kind that juts out from the side of yo hizzy BABY, BAAABY!  okay that was a little too much drama for a picture window.  The pics look like this:

This is the whole deal, about 10 small plants including the clones I saved from May when I took em.  They will likely take a month or two to revert to veg and then we'll see.  Right now they still look like dwarf plants.  And this one:

These are (admittedly a not very good view of em, but they all look about the same at this point, some bigger than others, but three real healthy looking ones, a pineapple express, another pineapple (or purple haze, I may have mislabled (lol), and a real good looking pineapple express. Don't worry, these are all  fem so if I gotta take clones in a month, it'll all be good in tha hood! 

C ya next month.

Oh, and btw, the blueberry and purple Kush plants came in from last month.  they are dried but not cured yet so we'll see if they go into the hash 0 lator.  Later!
