Hey everyone welcome to my Walkabout thread. A little history to start. Always wanted to grow outdoors and just never had the nerve to try. Well I have some property and it is heavily wooded, I figured that I may as well give it a try. It is private and the woods are very thick with brambles. I started by bidding on some Walkabout for 15 Euros at MNS Auctions and won! I can not believe how good the genetics are on these seeds. Big, healthy, sativa dominant strains. Any of which are well worth growing.
I germinated 7 seeds on Feb 1st and 6 came up. I had them in an area that got pretty cool but not frozen and had them in soil under 2 40 watt soft white fluorescent bulbs. Here is a photo of 5 of them on March 4.
I also prepared some potting mix by adding 1 cup bone meal and blood meal per cubic foot. I also added Vigoro fertilizer and epsom salts. Had around 4 cubic foot total. Also had 2 cubic foot sphagnum peat moss that I added as the top layer. I started by digging 6 holes in a heavily wooded area, placed hog wire around circumference of each hole. After wire secured, I added a layer of river gravel and then a layer of vermiculite (retains more moisture than perlite). I then added the enriched soil and topped it off with the sphagnum peat moss. Looked something like this.
So on the 10th of March, because of the early spring, I decided to place my kids out in their new home. Here are a couple shots of them just to show you how well they blend. One is easy to see, the other not so much.
The first photo actually has a cage directly behind it just to the left. You can also see a small stream in the foreground of the second photo.
So I planted them and W-4 got a little shocky so I did a foilar feed with cold pressed kelp. I also added Cannazyme and Superthrive. Some slight leaf damage, but otherwise no problem. Uploading photo error caused W-1 and W-4 to be redone on the 11th. But you can see that the damage was minimal on W-4.
Here is Walkabout 1, the smallest of the crew and the one that was not in the initial photo.
Walkabout 2
Walkabout 3 with loyal assistant scoping out perimeter.
Walkabout 4 the day after transplant. You can see withering on the lower leaves. This plant was laid over before the foilar feed.
Walkabout 5 is the largest.
Walkabout 6 is the second largest and had a mild leaf shock that has pretty much resolved.
I appreciate all who take the time to view and if you are sitting on the fence to go outdoors, all I can say is I went for it, if low risk you can too.
I will likely update every couple weeks. Thanks for stopping by.-bk
