Perpetual Indoor/Outdoor Grow Journal #8: Plants in a Natural Environment!

in cannabis •  7 years ago  (edited)

Another week and the gals grew some more. They have the right colour and glow, so I assume that biology is good and there's an optimal absorption of nutrients. Today we're having another sunny day, so I gave them a sun treatment 🌞 🌳

I really think that if you have this option you should veg them outdoor - doesn't matter if they'll be flowered outdoor or indoor - or in a greenhouse, cause epidermal cells get much stronger when exposed to ultraviolet spectrum (UV) with a wavelength below 400 nm.

It actually pushes the leaves to develop a "sunscreen" and this in turn makes plant much more resilient to any abiotic shock they might be exposed to (ventilation, temperature, lighting, RH).

I also dropped my two last beans from Paradise Seeds in the ground and I'm waiting for something to pop up... and when I was finishing this post a courier dropped the tent at my doorstep, but I'm gonna get around it tomorrow!

Nice looking little ladies! It's so exciting to pop some beans and grow em out to the end. Definitely satisfying smoking your own homegrown.

It's very satisfying indeed when you know exactly what's happening to the plant over whole life cycle.

How long of exposure to the sun does a plant need to develop that waxy Sunscreen?

I'd have to dig it up, but from my personal experience 1-2 weeks.

I’ve noticed a huge difference in my buds with my new light. The last one was so cheap and i don’t think it had uv light. I’ll be added a second one of the same light soon.

Indoor good light makes all the difference!

That view!! It's amzing.

The little ones look good, to bad we dont have a lot of sun over here yet!

I believe there are some Led lights available with UV and IR.

Yeah I actually got one and I'll be hanging it in my new Mammoth tent tomorrow :) The view is on my valley... quite isolated place, but as scenic as Italy gets :)

Its you from 420 mag? or am i just high and read your post on steemit before? i remember the username and italy from 420mag website , or?! i know its a small world lol, babys are looking great!

Yep it's me :)

What strains are they mate? looking forward to seeing you new tent!

Got 2 Auto Pounders, 2 Gorilla Glues and 2 White Widow x Querkle so far!

nice! hahah so funny, after switzerland i went to germany and grew also but half the plants autos, got stolen and then we had a police raid! we had 2 pounder growing outdoor feeding it nettle tea, fucking monster! guessing auto pounders are from 2 pounder?
Not heard of querkle :) Happy to reunite again, fucking mental if you ask me lol anybody else from 420 on here?

Fuckin' hell, my patch got busted too last season... I managed to make a first cut though, so got my ass covered with a pound or so. And yeah stinging nettle is the way to go... have been using it for a couple of yrs now.

It's a WW x Q x WQ actually or sth like that. Got these beans from another 420mag bloke. He's not here though, but @graytail jumped right in. You might remember him.

Yeah kinda mental if you ask me, but it's a small world mate! So how's been going here? Got anyone pissed yet? ;)
