Hey Legs. I’m glad to see your plants growing past that weirdness. I’d say they look good to receive pollen anytime now. If you do it soon, they’ll have plenty of time to ripen the seed before the natural harvest window. Best of luck with your pollinations!!

Thanks for jumping in dude! Maybe I’ll split the difference and do it like next Monday, that would make it between week 2 and 3 of flower

Oh, I thought you were in week 3, my bad! Yeah I’d wait till the 3rd week. Seems to be the sweat spot for 9-10 weekers.

I’ve seen the weird crinkle leaves on my Oaxaca plants. They grew outta it after a couple of months.
So cool to see maple syrup being made! I’ve only had the store bought but can only imagine

Infused maple syrup is so good you better make a batch.

There’s actually a batch in the fridge right now, it’s a bit of a problem for me though because I never just want a little bit of syrup, and that infused shit will get on top of me fast

I’ve been waiting for maple syrup season hoping to be able to snag one of these famed @LegsMahoney bottle.
Now that I hear of this infused version, I’m going to be throwing elbows to get a bottle to try that!!! Y’all watch out lol
Hope things get a little easier for you homie 
good vibes!

So I took a look at my notes and realized that tomorrow actually marks the start of week 4, so I decided to get on with the pollination. Chopped the K1 male, and hit the lowers in the remaining ladies. From what I could tell the pollen should be viable, so fingers crossed that it takes

They look so healthy @LegsMahoney Fingers crossed!
How often do you find you have refill the water reservoir using those earth boxes?

Right now it’s averaging like a week in between fills even with two plants in them. The one in the left is a bit slower since it had a stripped male in it that likely wasn’t drinking as fast, and I suspect with him chopped now it’ll continue to drink slower, but yea these earthboxes are pretty rad!

Just ordered 2 of them. How can you tell when they need more water? Do you lift them? I lift my pots to see when they need watering buy the weight

No you just look down the tube and when it’s dry add water. Although if you’re using the probiotic method and keeping the res full I’m sure you could just try adding water, there’s an overflow at the bottom that won’t allow you to fill them beyond max capacity, the excess water runs out into a tray underneath. I’m using mine slightly differently, following the method the Jeremy from build a soil outlined in their YouTube videos, biggest difference is letting the res go dry vs. keeping it full all the time. With the probiotic method you’re using LABS in the res which provides facultative anaerobes to keep the soil from going fully anaerobic. Without LABS letting the res go dry before filling it again allows there to be air introduced into the system to keep it from going anaerobic. (Pretty sure that’s the jist but check with one of the smarter heads mentioned above to be sure )

That sounds even better! I like letting my stuff get a little dry before I water again. And this sounds like you could go slightly longer by waiting for the reservoir to dry out. My concern is the long winded Oaxaca I’ve got going outside that I wanted to plant into something large. We get strong drying winds plus 110+ degree summers and don’t wanna be a slave to my water hose or rain buckets. Thanks again

Probably worth noting that the overall plant size and different genetics will drink at different rates. When I had two gigantic tomato plants in one of these on the patio last summer I was having to fill the res every 2-3 days. It probably goes without saying, but I just figured I should reiterate, a week in between waterings might not be the normal average depending on all that
