That’s really what it’s like:) I’ve danced a many a jig amongst my plants in the rain 
or at dusk / twilight right after spraying a tea ! With all that life on everything it’s like pure energy radiating/humming and dance with me like and sometimes it’s like I can feel gratitude it’s super cool!

Where’s a good source for seeds for companion plants? Like hairy vetch , calindula , and others I perfer multipurpose medicinal plants but food is good too:) @Rogue thanks my friend

Around here they recommend Alyssum as a companion plant because it draws in predatory insects like wasps.

I get my seeds from Belgium or Holland, they don’t ship outside of EU tho.
Perhaps try Etsy, so many different things you can find there.

But that’s really just considered a trap plant which is a type of companion plant but I prefer ones that have other benefits like for instance chamomile (planted within rhizome area mycorrhiza makes this area much larger) has an influence on terps I haven’t tried it yet but want to just haven’t gotten to it yet but I have heard positive results:)

@Upstate i found some purpling on one of the self topping males not the shorter one though but it’s still pretty nice I also have a few shots of the shorter one
Shorty 2step
I’ve found a couple abnormal growth /mutations
See the back side of stalk got 2 nodes side by side I get a better picture but it’s 3 branches and suckers I’m having trouble finding the right word for that lol
Another little mutation
Node spacing
PS the purpling one has a completely different smelling stem rub and it seems a bit more oily

And @Upstate I want to make these males smaller so the females are not restricted but I haven’t decided if it would be best to keep lowers or keep uppers ? Any suggestions? Thanks

In old style cameras, when a Flash is attached, and the Shutter speed is faster than Sync-time of ~ 1/125 sec, you would get Half-lit images…
Not sure about this one Dr… I’d blame the lighter

I got a little more sleep with a little more rain so it worked out I reckon a couple of them are leaning due to inline winds but they didn’t loose a leaf

Cutting the tops off will delay flowering as the side branches catch up, cutting the bottoms off will give a smaller profile but keep the earliest flowers - I just did this to even up flowering times of the males - the earlier ones got their tops off and the side branches left are roughly at the same stage as the later males now, so the early and late males get even distribution of pollen, otherwise the early males will dominate
