Grow Timeline (17 updates)
Had a lovely thunderstorm yesterday that this little sprout enjoyed so much. She is getting big enough to support now!
Almost to veg!
I grew the Whiskey Zulu from Twenty20. One of my favs. It tasted and smelled just like watermelon jolly ranchers.
Oh, I am excited to hear that!
Oh you started something here… you know what this will lead to right? Bushy plants, big buds, and a sense of accomplishment. Your in for it now.
Heckin' Chonker was looking more yellow. Sure enough, water was getting filmy so swapped the water and it came right back to green.
Liliac Diesel x had nibbles on it. Found two little eggs on the underside of the leaf and wiped them off.
(Pest management is full organic with chili flakes for mammels and diatomaceous earth as well as gently washing leaves with dawn. At least they aren't squash borers, my mortal enemy!!!)
The El Niño rolling through has called for a deep watering of the outdoor set up.
They got'er these baby's can handle the worst conditions u could imagine i had a day was 95 in my grow room!! I added a second vent and it helped
We all are i work outside dont wanna hear it !!!
Many updoots:
Whiskey Zulu has achieved Veg!! Trimmed lowest nodes so upper branches get fed more.
Baldur's Crepe has had a purple stem and gotten a little crispy. Added soil amendments to fix the fact I have hard water. Plant was also rinsed first.
Maui Trueblood X has had mealy worm issues. First Saturday lime added to address the bugs. (Mother gave me a big bag so I am trying it out rather than DE)
DWS plants transplanted outside due to hard water stunting them. (I cannot afford liquid amendments at the moment)
Thank you guys for helping me figure out what was murdering my plants!
I put a net over mine outdoor keeps bugs and animals out your kinda late to be starting those outdoors right now should start flowering like sept 26th
I killed my earlier batch from the heatwave that hit at the right time. These will be moved indoors and covered before October ends here. For now, they are outdoor to keep my cats away. My biggest pest to my growing!! Also, I have to fix my DWS because I have hard water
I will take any recommendations of grow tents with sturdy roofs that are fully enclosed; because she will find a way in. However for now. I am letting them enjoy hurricane season weather.
I got a screen tent i got a garage sale for 10 u could use chicken wire thats what they do for the gurellia grows
The crown now has some nice bunches forming. I will top this one once the flowers get bigger and the propagate the branches that are long and not as bushy.
May I ask why you top in flowering stage?
Topping your plant allows it to grow out instead of straight up and after time it will branch more, meaning more flower.
I understand that, I was just wondering why you top in flower? I have always topped during veg. Is there a difference?
I would have topped in veg normally, but my first batch of seeds for this grow season died due to adverse weather and this is the largest one I have managed this year so I letting it be as much as I can. Last year I managed three good size ones but I lost them over winter because my well water was too hard on them indoors and only learned why until after I joined here. (Winter was also really weird here this year) It even killed my blueberry bush!
Oh gotcha that makes sense
Do u have coco coir in 1 of those? Did that do the same as the pebbels?
I did. My biggest germ issue has been dampening off and I am experimenting with different mediums to see which works best for me. So far it did the trick. It has put on a tail. That is the Baldur's Crepe.
So i start all mine in a small hydro box there 20.00 on amazon i go those sponges that are like a cone they barely sit in the nets at the vey bottom of the net but bett thant the sponges that come with them i csn do clones in there too half strength nuits and a small bubbler so i can let them get pretty big before transfer into my dwc i also put a dome over the whole thing mine were already qt 2nd node and leaves were close and thats in 2 weeks max
