How often are you watering them? How heavily? Ever shower the whole plant?(de-bug)
And, are you familiar with watering further from the plant each time to encourage horizontal root growth? Itās done with trees but also helps make weed; the roots āchaseā the drip line outward.
I do a deep watering of the veggie patch probably every 5-7 days depending. Actually hosed them all off yesterday to rid them of bird shit and any bugs that may be sprayed off. Since I finished the mj planter, Iām trying to make it a living bed, so Iām keeping the whole thing moist especially right now as Iām still trying to germ the clover and marigolds in there. Probably be too tricky to water further from the plant with my set-up, but I do that with my rose bushes for sure.
Yāall see that bottom leaf on the Kushage? The one that has a yellow stripe? Thatās what bird shit does to the leaves. I have a few bird āmarkingsā on the plants in the ground.
Ahhh that Jamaican haze is praying like crazy. Obviously enjoyed the organic food. Iām really surprised at its growth in a single week. I think Iāll order some more next week to add to auto only run Iām doing next grow
Itās my favorite auto out there right now. That and Da green. They just look pretty and itās probably cuz they are new to me. Iāve grown the other strains before
I feel like all my previous āchemicalā grows were good and the plants responded favorably, but the smell from the organic stuff is lacking with chemical ferts. Not the bud smell since none of mine are stinky yet, but this earthy natural smell like good soil. Itās all over my backyard and now itās coming off the weed plants too!
Yeah I do admit that bud smell we all know isnāt as potent when you use chemical nutrients in flower. Since I switched to megacrop with a little Epsom added Iāve got it back again.
Iāll get a few pics of my outdoor autos tomorrow. Maybe compare the two dark devils (I donāt know who bred yours but mine are sweet seeds)
The dark devil and all the dark spark phenos are from Mr. Sparkle.
As a matter of fact, every plant in my garden right now except the blue dream autos and fem strawberry diesels were gifted to me! Iām such a lucky girl!
Iāve grew big devil XXL from original sensible seeds (Iām sure it has dark devil parent) outside in the open here in the UK and she did excellent considering how cold it is here.
Iām growing my first outdoor indicaā¦ the holy punch. Very curious to see how she turns out! Although, Iāll probably only test her smoke wise once as I donāt do well on Indica. Most of that plant will go to Dad. lol
I have one here to grow also. Won in skunk24 competition a few months back. Iāve also got some blue dream photos in flower. I took cuttings from her to seed with a cookies kush Iām attempting to reverse. Iāve got loads going on
I took a look at the good shit today. Essentially it was topped by a bug at itās first set of 2 leaves, so itās main stem is a two part V with resulting small leaves. Anyone think I should chop off the shorter half of that V or should I just grow out a really wide plant? If it branches outdoors into a V shape, Iām gonna need to plant it in the veggie plot where the onions were instead of the strawberry diesel. Thoughts?
You could let each side grow up a couple nodes then top them so you have a āvā on both sides of the āyā of the main stem and repeatā¦make a pitchfork of sorts from her branches so sheāll grow outward a bit then up, out then up - takes a bit more time to recover from each topping and room though less room than leaving it at a āVā to grow outwardā¦just a thought
Hmmā¦ I get what you are throwing down there. Sounds like a good idea at this point regardless of where I put her.
As far as recovery, sheās already behind, but I had set backs with my clones prematurely budding then revegging and I still got a big yield last year despite the setbacks. Canāt see what it could hurt at this point. I may however have to shoot you a photo and have you draw on it to show me where to cut first. Iām a paranoid pruner, but Iām getting better. lol Actually, I probably know what Iām doing already, but Iād feel better with a wing man.
Alright been slowly working my way through the old winter green onion patch, Hacking and digging out a practical lawn of new bermuda grass from it. Have to dig and sift by hand for roots. Itās taking awhile, this old lady is breaking her back out there. Iāve got about 5 x 2 patch finished. Have at least another 6 x 4 ft stretch Iām still working on until I can plant the Good Shit in there. It really doesnāt need all the space, but that entire section of winter garden is full of grass and I need to do it all. I can only go at it a bit each day at once or Iāll die. lol
All the photo period plants are taking off. I can see the differences in growth on the daily now. They love it in there with the flowers and veggies.
The autos all have nice buds forming nowā¦ The Dark Devil and fem mix are gonna be miniās. I probably could have grown them in a solo cup and entered the competition. lol Those were the last of those seeds however. Been meaning to start a new crop of sparkles autos. Still have 2 easy D seedlings and one Dark Spark out there. Trying to get like an outdoor auto succession thing going. May just wait for @ReikoX seeds as I have like 5 of sparkles going right now.
