I don't know about your area, but 'round here, midday is the best time to go cuz everyone is at work. And midday is usually the hottest (and most humid in these parts) so most people don't venture to far from their A/C. (we have lots of lazies) The exercising people usually come out before/after work, when it's cooler. I've gone mtn biking during midday on some of our nicer summer days and seen no one else on the trail.

I agree, at my location dusk brings the most traffic. I prefer to go in midday when few people are out. Going out at night is also possible but it's a bit suspicious, and the park is officially closed so I have no legit reason to be there.

So my seed list is set... It's all beginning to come together.

Satori
Blue Mystic
Williams Wonder
DPxSK
some bagseeds
and possibly some freebies

so hows the outdoor growing in southern-mid oregon?

grants pass-eugene

i think i might move that way.

i think i would like to put some madala #1 out there.

[aristonaut]

thanks for the replies everyone. upon further consideration...it seems like in-ground soil would probably be best.

toke'a'bowl--they're fantastic for growing, sunny and warm but not too hot, and not too cold at night. you're gonna need some form of irrigation though...dry, dry summer.

My Sativa mom was getting a bit lanky after I grew her a new root system (link in sig) so I put the cuttings in water.
These may be my outdoor babies this season.

This plant is growing like crazy the largest one " Trance" is growing really strong and fast the other 2 are bag seed. and not quite as fast and or strong but doing well also this far . As indicated in a earlier post
I was really concerned about the roots hanging into the watter all the time but it doesnt seem to be a problem they are doing great.
I think I am going to be going to a medium sized potter to get it out of the aero garden. before I cant get it out with out harming the root system on the plant these things are developing massive roots. I`m just hoping that the light from the aero garden puts off enough light to keep it going till I can get it out side for the summer.


Comments and sujestions are always appreciated. This is going to be a good post to monitor all summer I love seing what everybody has going on peace and happy growing to all

I'm betting your system will keep things going for another couple of months. Best to wait until very late April before you put them outside
Your plants look great, healthy and happy.

Peace- OD

Last night I shoveled another 5" of snow, this morning went out to throw the ball for the dog again, and had to shovel off the back deck. Hadn't done this in like a week and a half and there's almost 14+ inches of snow. We haven't had this much snow (total for season) in at least 6 years, we've had more this year than the last 4 years combined.

I don't even think I'm going to start my clones for outdoors until late March/early April.

i feel for ya man, exept i have 4+ feet

[outdoors]

Hey xyz - Is that your normal way of rooting cuttings?

Peace- OD
