Yes indoors the SSH had some solid burgundy stems as well. I hope the flowers turn out the same as well! Little trim covered in resin!

The outdoor crew is looking very happy. I will get entry pics for the MJ-12 project, Michigan Mad Man, and Amethyst S1 Lavender Pheno this weekend while im on vacation from work for a couple of days. Lots of defoliation and maintenance this week on the plants. Ive spent a lot more time down in my garden this year now that I’ve got my anxiety in check.

Sorry it’s been a while.
Weather has been terrible, much rain, followed by much bugs.
Stupidly wet late May and the whole of June.
Now summer’s hitting with temps up to about 35C most days.
Forest Garden update June 19th
Last update was May 22, wow, like four weeks ago.
As mentioned, weather really terrible during that time.
So no idea what I’d see when I visit…
Here’s the whole site, looking west
Behind are tall trees, shading for a lot of the day
This is late morning and the light is starting to hit some of the spots
Spot X to the far right, Spot Y in the middle, Spot Z to the left…
Back of a very small overgrown tea plantation.
The green stuff is vines growing over the now dying tea plants.
With a few other taller trees, and forest behind me (to the east).
Surviving plants look okay for color – the soil here is not bad.
All quite slim, stretching for the light, as they don’t get a full day’s light, and are completing with some of the surrounding vines and jungle.
Spot X
Top of pic are two of the Haze x Lime Madness regs.
Bottom of pic is a Cannalope Haze.
Spot Y
Pretty sure this is one of the Orient Express fems.
Another one in this spot is totally gone without a trace.
Spot Z
Another two Haze x Lime Madness regs.
Love the NLD features so far.
This garden is turning out better than the Hillside Garden.
At least when considering the heavy rains.
Soil is nice, seems to drain just fine.
Though they get less light here, due to the forest to their east.
Less bug and snail attacks, too!
Have only lost one plant since they went out (one O.E.).
Compared to Hillside Garden, which has had terrible losses.
I starting cutting open another space here, let’s call it Spot W if I can get it working.
Hillside Garden update July 1st
A week ago I started:
2 x ACE Zamaldelica photo regs
4 x ACE Tropical Mix photo regs
2 x Scott Family Farms Pure Love photo regs
Now…
After rains rains, about 8" = 200mm, over a couple of days, plus the swarm of bugs that followed, just
2 x ACE Tropical Mix
survived.
Both are very thin leaf looking, from two very different seeds – one tiny, one huge.
They are both safer now (see below).
So lost another couple of Zam seeds plus the Pure Love and more Tropical Mix…
Good news, though, is that those
2 x Haze x Lime Madness
are looking happy.
These Haze x Lime Madness are from seeds given by a friend on another forum.
The Haze is a pure haze line, either the so-called Tom Hill / Positronics Haze, or the Todd McCormick Haze line.
(I also have some seeds from the same friend of a cross between these two pure haze lines!)
The Lime Madness is a cross between Black Lime Reserve and the legendary Mullumbimby Madness (which is probably either adapted Thai or Colombian in Australia for many decades now).
That makes it very sativa.
Some new growth after topping and going into the ground, out of those root-bound pots.
Good color, no signs of new bug attacks, and the same heavy rain caused no problems.
Hehe, though they both look like ugly clones at this point…
Very NLD as you would imagine.
The Haze and the (Mullumbimby) Madness shining through at this age.
Not much sign of the (Black) Lime (Reserve), yet.
At this garden site, the original
1 x Orient Express
still lives, flowers, but is so ugly I can’t stand to show you pics…
and the original
2 x Cannalope Haze
are technically alive, but look like they survived a nuclear blast, so no pics either…
Embarrassing.
To make up for those losses above, I dropped
8 x Haze x Blueberry Sativa
(from the same friend)
I used the same bigger pots with good soil,
but have put them in a makeshift cloche – a big cardboard box covered with fine mesh.
Don’t have regular access, so I hope they germ and sprout okay before the sun dries out the medium too much.
I soaked out the cardboard box, and packed the inside with pots, so they won’t overheat too much.
The original
2 x ACE Tropical Mix
are also in the same box together.
Hopefully this will solve the poor medium + bug problems.
Gotta get my sh!t together.
Though these Haze x Lime Madness are giving me hope.
Need to check the Forest Garden HxLM and other plants, too.
It’s been a while.
Love and hugs,
~MJS

Weekly update: the competition girls are moving along as expected. They are starting to drink a lot, so I would think the buds will start stacking up nicely.

Group shot. Auto Skunk fading out in the foreground with early frost starting to tower over the yard at 6’+ Durban hiding behind it all twisted and broken but that’s working out well for her. A chewed on Autoskunk hidden in the raised bed seems to be to the liking of some leaf hoppers but really unimpressed with its stunted growth. Sour rna CBD is barely peaking out in the back of the picture. Really nice unique terp profile. In general all of the autos have not liked the transplant and weather outside. We’ve been going from 90 to 60’s to nighttime 50’s and pouring rain to a decent forcast in the 80’s going into July. I have hope for the photoperiods but the Autos remind me of early temperamental autoflowers that didn’t like outdoors so much.

The Mean Jean auto takes a whooping and keeps on going Week 3 in the dirt
Hi Maria! I was starting to worry a bit…
No doubt, these new places are much more challenging than the ol’ batgarden 
…it sucks that gig went bad!
That rain is no friend either, leaching away what little nutrients are around… And the bugs, you’re in their backyard now 
You’re working the numbers game though, so we’ll keep fingers crossed some better weather gets them to crank it up and you can get some decent croppage established!
those two look great, ready for prime time bloom!
@MasonJarOG good to hear the repair job on DP is working out well 
OD auto’s are such the gamble really,… definitely some of them are tent-only if one wants something other than a budsicle plant It seems the whole GTG crew isn’t faring well at all… the wild weather swings ain’t helping either!
At least the EF is showing the goods

That’s nice size for outdoor autoflower!

They definitely didn’t like the move from the tent to the great outdoors. Probably would have done better straight to outside on July 1st since summer is just really starting to look like summer. But we do need the rain. The Indoor is the opposite story… the Autowhip is not disappointing.

The 2 plants I split the rootball on are doing ok to fine. One is stunted but alive. The other might catch up to the 2 larger plants! Its looking good.
The Mazar autos are doing well also. They are very uniform which surprises me. Think I’m going to top dress them, the look a little pale to me. II’ll give them some Epsoma and a little tough of blood meal.
