Gramps Out Door Garden

Out shaking the ash off the girls temps are in the 60s degree range this morning maybe smoke related ? The tops of the Banana Mango are starting to spread maybe time to adjust the last net . I put my reading glasses on so I could read the instructions on the Doctor Zymes my spray was weak but it was working on the aphids . I going to double to 4 ozs per gallon of water and go in for the kill maybe tonight . The mangos are like two different plants the top and the bottom but are starting to fill out .P8102186

Thatā€™s crazy I have multiple tops on one of my plants too. It would be cool to hear a good explanation why some plants do that

Choking smoke a few grass hoppers and one plant with a bad aphid problem . I thought I missed spraying her but thousands of dead aphids littered the plant Iā€™ll spray again when the sun starts to set . So at the 4ozs to 1gal of water mix the Doctor Zymes works good but the large plants need several applications and maybe a weekly touch up ? I still like the no oil / soap no smell or taste going by last years harvest .

Wow this one Blue Dream is an Aphid nursery Iā€™m slowly wining the battle the rest of the girls are great Maybe a couple of stray Aphids . Iā€™m going to spray the infested plant again this evening maybe spread the branches a little a to get the nozzle on the inside and spray the undersides of all the fans . And all over the outside to try and get the whole plant soaking wet . Still choking smoke blocking the sun but not so much ash . Iā€™ve been sleeping better the fire is burning away from us but hundreds of homes lost and 127,000 acres burned and only 10 percent contained . P8232240

Is it possible the Blue Dream clone came with the aphids? You got that as a clone, right? Not from seeds?

Yeah, sorry to hear about that. My girl and I were thinking about moving up north, but itā€™s looking like those gawddamn fires are just gonna be a thing every year now. Horrible. ā€œClimate change? What climate change?!? The east coast gets hammered with hurricanes every fall, the mid-west freezes every winter and the west coast burns every summer. So what? Everythingā€™s fine!ā€

They were all clones but I had them in the tent until may 1st and no aphids . I deal with this type of thing every season comes with growing outdoors .

Another smoky day from hell water and feed today 6 - 30 - 30 and some humic acid . Checking my so called Vanilla Frosting that sure looks like last seasons Romulan ? which is a great smoke but no bag appeal no trimming Just let the fans yellow and drop . The mystery plant and a couple pics of last years airy Romulan harvested and smoked just like the photo easy smoking no coughing lol . 6ā€™ feet P8262248 P8262249 P8262250 P8262258 P8262259

Yeah, those are both beasts. I have one ā€œgrampsā€ size mini. Itā€™s one of the volunteers and about 7 foot by 4-5 foot. Itā€™s just getting into the bloom good now. Itā€™s a mystery, but I think the dad is @lefthandseeds 4P Haze. Itā€™s smelling wonderful and has a nice large hybrid look to it. All moms were top notch but donā€™t know who.
