plants are grown outdoors under 5m x 3m x 2m greenhouse frame with approx 8hrs direct sunlight, additional light added from sunset to 2.30am with 2 x 5 watt LED using el cheapo 12 volt timer connected to a solar battery bank, used these timers for a few years & have not had a failure yet, have found using this very low level of supplemented light is adequate as long as plants receive a solid amount of direct sunlight during daytime, with 13hrs daylight ATM plants would no doubt go into flower mode without supplemental lighting

ffs sake i wonder if im talking to my self again here? WTF who cares hehehe!...

these Platinum Buffalo x GDP x C99 are a wee bit better in that only approx 20% have deformation of grow tips & leaves compared to Plat Buff x Barney Rubble...remains to be seen whether both these crosses will be viable stock as keepers?
2 lower pics are malformed leaves & growing tips, bottom pic is a healthy pair, overall too low vigor is noticeable

MK Ultra x C99 approx 3', plants squeezed together but since 12/12 began a few days ago looking forward to thinning out the males to offer room for the girls

lower 2 pics IHG Platinum Buffalo x Cannarado Barney Rubble, approx 2' high, exhibiting some genetic issues, around 30-40% are like this, i think those types will yield very poorly & possibly may not be grown out again

Barney Rubble x Cherry Sherbet approx 3' high, this chuck is looking gooooooooood!

sad about those loggers...but good to hear your plants are going well, do you think the budding types may regrow at this time of year outdoors? ive had that happen, bit of a bitch when i was relying on those ones at that time to be budded & not revegging, but the auto's will still bud even in full summer sun i guess?

Yeah most of my budding plants have started to reveg so ill get a double harvest out of them. The autos are flowering hard. Biggest one is just under 4foot tall average size is 20 inches should harvest the first lot of autos in 3 weeks.

sounds good, ive never grown auto's but may give them a run at a later date, just got a stupid amount of beans to work through first hehehe, hey i just read somewhere australia may possibly be a full cashless society by 2022...just cards in use, i wonder how people who buy weed will be able to pay for it? just cant imagine what things will be like without cash?
