The Girls Go Outside: Week 4 Garden Update

The big girls get evicted to the great outdoors, while the babies stay inside where it’s safe.

1. The Roll Call: Who’s Moving and Who’s Staying?

  • The Week 5 Photoperiods (9 lb. Hammer :hammer:, Bubba Kush, 2 Blood Moon Gelato :crescent_moon:, Blueberry Muffin :blueberries:, Blue Dream (fast), Cinderella 99, Ghost OG :ghost:). They have official “adult stems” now. They are being planted in the wild today.

  • The Week 3 Autoflowers (The Toddlers): They were started late and are still way too small to survive the real world. They are staying in daycare for now until they grow some bigger roots. Autos are: Northern Lights, Girl Scout Cookie :cookie:, Grape Ape :grapes: :orangutan:, Banana Purple Punch :banana: :purple_circle: :oncoming_fist:.

2. Spa Day & Haircuts

Before sending the big girls out to the elements, they got a little pampering:

  • A Lil’ Trim: Cut off the messy bottom leaves. It’s basically a bikini wax for plants—keeps the dirt off their leaves and stops bugs from using them as a ladder.

  • A Nice Mist: Spritzed them down with some good old-fashioned well water to keep them cool while they look at the actual sun.

3. The Hydro-Juice Formula

We mixed up a batch of water using our mad-scientist hydroponic recipe. It’s normally for the main hydro systems, but the pots get a treat today.

The Ingredients:

  • Cal-Mag: So they don’t get a calcium deficiency and start complaining.

  • FloraMicro, FloraGro, & FloraBloom: The classic “grow big and strong” soup.

  • FloraNectar (FruitnFusion): Sugar and carbs. Basically, a sugary energy drink for the dirt microbes.

  • pH Down: Because the water needs to stop being so basic.

The 3 are what we added today.

The Lab Results (What the Meter Said):

  1. Go to the store to buy more garden supplies and spend way too much money.

  2. Dig some holes and officially transplant the photoperiod girls.

  3. Drench them in the 544 PPM special-sauce juice so they don’t throw a tantrum from the transplant shock.

  4. Leave the week 3 autos alone until they stop looking like toddlers.

The Grand Chronicles of the Backyard Weed Sanctuary

Chapter 1: The Backyard Laboratory

It all started in the wheelbarrow, which had temporarily been converted into a mad scientist’s kitchen. We weren’t just planting a garden; we were staging a highly coordinated relocation from the indoor nursery penthouse to the rugged outdoors.

To ensure the new residents didn’t immediately mutiny, we whipped up a batch of the “Secret Sauce Mud Mix.”
[ Rich Black Compost Base ] + [ Earthworm Castings Dusting ] + [ Massive Dash of Perlite ] = Pure Root Luxury :herb:

We laid out the five-star grocery haul on the grass like a gourmet buffet line:

Timberline Cow Manure, Expert Gardener Worm Castings, a dash of Tomato & Veggie Food, and a massive security blanket of Cedar Mulch Blend.Tomato food? Absolutely. Because if it can grow a prize-winning, juicy beefsteak tomato, it can certainly handle a row of high-grade medicinal herbs.

Chapter 2: The Legend of Blood Moon & The Dessert Squad

Our lineup reads less like a garden plot and more like a high-end dessert menu mixed with a fantasy novel. Each one brought its own distinct attitude to the dirt: Blood Moon Gelato: The dramatic fashionista of the group. It demanded a custom, hand-carved wooden runway sign just to tolerate the outdoor breeze. It sat proudly atop its throne of red cedar wood chips, looking down on the neighboring grass. Blueberry Muffins: The baker’s delight, currently looking very small but highly ambitious in its new earthen plot. Blue Dream: The absolute chillest plant in the dirt. It took one look at the open sky and immediately began soaking up the sun without a care in the world. Cinderella 99: The fairy tale princess who traded her glass slipper for a thick layer of rich compost, ready to see if the backyard soil could turn into a castle.

Chapter 3: The Earth-Shattering Relocation Ceremony

With the hand trowel of destiny in one hand and bare dirt under our fingernails, the official planting ceremony commenced.

We took the peat pots out to the prepped compost bulls-eyes. There was a brief, highly serious moment of structural inspection. We held the biodegradable cups over the open ground, checking the roots and whispering sweet nothings to the leaves to ensure nobody panicked during the transition.

No garden gloves were allowed—true plant whisperers must feel the mud to properly establish dominance over the neighboring clover patch.


Chapter 4: Grounded, Guarded, and Growing

One by one, the elite squad was lowered into their custom-dug earthen launchpads.

We hand-sculpted the dark soil fortresses around their stems, packed them in gently (absolutely no stomping!), and tucked them in with a thick, cozy blanket of cedar mulch to keep the local weeds from starting a neighborhood turf war.

The custom wood nameplates were driven into the ground, a gallon jug of celebration water was thoroughly dumped over the root zones, and the outdoor era officially commenced. Watch out world, the dessert garden is officially open for business!

I feel for ya friend of mine had that in bama she would come into my gas station taking baby steps and stuff we would talk about our ailments I wasn’t using cannabis then or I would have suggested she research it. Mother in law tried my peppermint oil the other day pain in her neck was gone she said. I’m so excited she tried it now my sister will try it I am hoping to get her off some of the meds she on she has a basket full and side effects all bad.

Had a heavy chimney fall on me fracturing three ribs near spine and smashing my shoulder. Needed opioids then. Started not needing and feeling loopy. Visiting Doc I gave back a half of large bottle. Not going down that road and hated the feeling. I hope the best for her. Bad news for women (harder to quit, brain physiology).
