Here we go again finally it's that time of year again when we can harness the sun to grow our supplies, Prefer to grow outdoors as so many spectrums in the sun, which gives the end results a more varied high as the plants are given the chance to develop to there full potential.

I have started last night by popping 2 of the seeds in to a glass of water at room temperature. I soaked them and removed them from the glass today. They are now sitting on a bed of paper towel in a warm cupboard. I have planted the 3rd directly into the soil an watered them lightly with the same room temp water,they to are in a warm cupboard. I wanted to see if it was quicker to germinate them way suggested on the GHS page, but will run a more comprehensive test when the indoor season starts again.

I will be using Easy mix again for my grow provided by the local growshop. My friend has been meening to get them for a while so was a nice surprise when I got home to 200 litre's in front of my broken car. Didn't fancy the bus!

Bit of a google translate job on the ingredients, sure one of the dutch speaking growers may have a better idea.

veenmosveen - sphagnum peat

turfstrooisel - peat litter

woormenhumus - Worm molds/casts

Pumic Stone - similar to perlite

bemesting van n-p-k meststoffen en sporenelementen - fertilization of npk fertilizers and trace elements

Dutch class over! i will be potting them in small 1 litre tubs then move them within a week to 17litre tubs (see pic). The 17litres won't fit in the mini greenhouse so thats why they are going in the smaller pots first. I will also use 3-5 cm of Clay pebbles in the bigger pots. Once sprouted and in the pots the mini greenhouse will go straight to the garden, unless temps going below 10 then they will go in the kitchen window. I like to get them out asap harden the little beggars up.

That's about it for now. I do intend splitting the stems once they are bigger , slows growth for a little while, but makes the lower stems much stronger. Top tip from Dr.Green's Instagreen feed. A few pictures of my kit and freshly painted outdoor grow room.

Quick question Mods, can i also show my 2 Kalashnikova Auto in this report as have 2 of them also going outside. Will stop the wife complaining about lack of plants in the garden.

24h after I've put the seeds in rockwool

welcome to my grow journal for the Outdoor World Cup! Originally i thought about starting this journal after my seeds arrived. But they are not here yet and it is June/15. I ordered the free kit with power feeding. So I do not know yet which strain i am going to get. But i can give you already some information about the equipment i will use for the seedlings and early vegetative phase indoor.

Lets start with the room. My tent from Grow Lab is called GL 100. It has an area of 1 square meter (100cmx100cm) and is 2 meters tall. Inside there is a reflective foil everywhere. You have a lot of holes for you your air and water tubes or for cables. From the outside it is black and it offers you two windows to watch your plants while the tent is closed. Like that you can make sure that your air circulation stays as usual.

The air circulation is made by a System Air RKV 200E2-A1 LTI as outtake that has about 770 m³/h. For the intake there is a small axial fan.

The System Air fan is connected to a cooltube reflector called Sputnik. I have the large one with a 150mm connector. This reflector is really awesome. It is cool and really big. The surface is covered with a nice reflective material. Compared to other reflectors the Sputnik offers the most light in the middle of the reflector. It has the perfect size for 1 m².

The reflector is already a nice tool to keep the temperature low. But for the perfect adjustment I use a G SE Fan Controller that offers me to the fan speed, the temperature, the humidity and the negative pressure. The intake fan as well as the outtake fan are connected to it.

The electrical power for the light inside the reflector comes from a Lumatek ballast. The Lumatek is one of the new generation ballasts that are more efficient and allow you to change the W. In my case i can switch between 400W, 400W SL, 600W and 600 W SL. SL means Super Lumen and should increase the power by 10%. So it is 400W, 440W, 600W, 660W.

The ballast will run a 400W MH light with 440W/400W LS. The soil i use is called BioBizz Light Mix.

Allright! That´s my setup! Now I have to wait for the seeds! As soon as they arrive i will start germinating them. And ofcourse i will take pictures and use them in my next update for you guys! Feel free to comment and to ask questions!

So here i am with the result of this third part of the trilogy!!

First of all we would like to apologize for the little delay on the results, the team just got back from that very busy november month with Htcc, chile, and some other part of south america where it was hard to check on the journals, but finally here it is now that everyone is home

We would like to thanks all the people that participated through the whole competition, Indoor, autoflowering and Outdoor! It has been a great experience with some awesome journals full of imagination and wonderful plants!! Let's make it even bigger for next year hunters!! Start to think about how you're gonna do it and make it awesome :rabbi:   gonna be harder for the Judges but who cares :P

So enough talking here is the list of the winners. big thanks once again to everyone on SH and CC!!

2 never germinated, 3 died in the first week, but never mind, the 5 remaining plants r great! i love them! First they went into small cups, and soon got transplanted into 6.2 l pots. Coco perlite i use indoors, the outdoor spot will b manured, perlite, and coco added to the clayish soil, and got spreayed with Fishmix. Fishmix also for foliar from the first week. Ec started on 1.1, but already i jumped up to 2.17. I guess they can take it, we will see how hard we can push em! They get rainwater + epsom salt+ indica powder+biogrow. Also rhyzo ocassionally. So far so good, i have both phenos, they will b cloned shortly, just to keep the genetic stocky ! I really feel lucky with these plants, i hope i can show u some trees guys!!! At this point i must mention that all got fimmed after the 4th internode, and once again at 6th on the upper branches, and they r turning livly little bushes already. Leafs r true kushy, and i am telling u the shorter pheno had the biggest first set of leafs ever! They will b moved out shortly, but as u know the weather was shit all over europe till now. I hope sept will b better, without clouds!!! I don't know if the rules let me flower 1 fbk inside, cos i really need to see how the 5.5 weeks goes!! My growroom is far from perfect, so 45 days flowering would make me happy. Outdoors i have no doubt they get ready in sept! Posting pics very soon!!!

Happy growinig!

Old introduction message :

Hello,And welcome to my second journal for this cup.I'm sorry but my card reader on my laptop does not work I need to buy one at the store so I can upload you the photos.There will be 7 Northern Light Automatic and 7 Sweet Mango Automatic.They will grow in coco and get nutriments from powder feeding but there something " special " :for the second part of the flowering the watering will be automatic.The first step is neraly done, 20 hours of light for the growand soon it wiill be te flowering in my greenhouse .I'm sorry about this issue with my Sd card reader but i'll publish soon some photos.

pienso arrancar este seguimiento p0ero arranque uno de autobomb y ya era tarde asi que espero confirmacion

si no es tarde empieso a subir fotos y si es tarde buena suerte a todos saludos y buenos humos!!

Money Makers are in small pots since 03May2013. Regular potting soil (PH 6.5) with a little sea bird guano. They've all popped and sprouted (will post pictures next post). They are doing good so far.

We are at 45N latitude. Weather is on/off since they were planted and, more rain is planned until May 24th.. They are under a small plastic cover so as not to get drenched. I keep them outdoor's to get them used to the temperature. But, as I said apart from a few days last week+Monday and yesterday the sky is cloudy and temperatures hover around 12-15C during the day and 8-10C at night.. Not exactly the best conditions. If this goes on I will put them in an empty aquarium so I can heat their growing environment a little.

I have not watered with Powder Feed yet because I feel they are too young. Therefore I have used regular water with a 6.5PH. Once they are older, I will switch to PF and lower the PH to 5.5.

The planting holes are on a South West facing forest clearing and were dug about 2 months ago. Soil was mixed with sheep manure and sea bird guano (yes, I am a fan of guano). I hope to put them in the ground some time early June when they should be about 20cm tall. I'll have to fence the area off to keep deer and wild pigs at bay. I understad Money Maker is a Kush mix? I sure hope so, because if we have to wait until end of October, there will be mold issues for sure.

This semi-guerilla grow promises to be an adventure.

Until next post, best of luck to everybody!

For better absorption of nutrients by the plants, it is advisable to pre-mix in a container such as a bottle,

introduced in nutrients and water, stir and mix vigorously, then you add the rest of the irrigation water.

If you use soilless systems such as NFT, aero systems ... is always positive using an oxygenation system in

tanks of water to avoid precipitation of nutrients over time.

Small details can make a difference, good luck in your crops! X

Saludos familia, me gustaría daros un pequeño truco, consejo...

Para una mejor asimilación de los nutrientes por parte de las plantas, es aconsejable mezclarlos previamente

en un recipiente, como una botella, introduciendo dentro los nutrientes y el agua, agitar y mezclar con energía,

luego lo añadís al resto del agua de riego.

Si utilizáis sistemas sin suelo, como los nft, aero systems...es siempre positivo utilizar un sistema de oxigenación

en los tanques de agua, para evitar la precipitación de los nutrientes con el tiempo.

Los pequeños detalles pueden marcar la diferencia, suerte en vuestros cultivos! X

it does not mean that you can mess around the forum with spam, offtopics... and ruining threads.

Whoever does ,will be banned, that simple.

Thanks for understanding!

Saludos, que necesitéis tener 30 mensajes para particpar en el concurso no significa que podáis

ensuciar todo el foro con spam, offtopics y estropeando hilos.

El que lo haga será expulsado del foro, así de sencillo.

Gracias por entenderlo!
