Are fabric pots better for high temps than nursery pots? Also I was thinking how about a white t-shirt around the big pots? They seem they would block sun and create a nice barrier between shirt fabric and pot side. Any thoughts welcomed please.
Nanan is back in flower tent but I’m pretty nervous. Pulled a few pollen sacs but now can’t tell what’s baby pollen sac or the calyx that shows pistils in crutch where leaves meet stem and branches the meristem.
Absolutely, much cooler I would think. And a white cloth draped loosely over the whole thing would be even better. I bet you can tune it further by selectively soaking the soil and bag.
some good ole oaxacan, compliments of @Upstate. It’s a damn shame those sit in the refrigerator for 2 years before they made it to the dirt but I finally found a place for them. Old silversides strongest male progeny.
Yeah buddy! Looks like you got some beauties😁 beautiful male plant you found. Great branching! You’re in for a treat brother! You will either get actual S1 old silver sides or your plants will be something similar to my three sisters line…OSS’s daughters. You have a really cool narrow Leaf expression. I don’t know that I’ve had one with such thin leaves or not. I love the look.
Some people think it shows a poor ability of the plant to process nitrogen. @Grayeyes I’m happy to report to you that after 5 or 6 weeks vegetation time I am able to sex males of Huixtepec, Oaxaca, Oaxaca x Huixtepec and a new Michoacan from @Elchischas after just around 10 days of flowering… and there is no chance whatsoever any of those have been contaminated. Sorry if I caused you any concern. Looks like they only take a long time to show sex if you flower from seed like I normally do.
Yes that’s what I’ve been telling you. Any old cloth will work. I’ve even used old curtains…light colors only for whatever fabric you use. Just cut a slit down the middle of the material to the halfway point so you can wrap it around the stalk of the plant and drape it around all sides of the pot. Fabric stays a lot cooler but also dries out quicker. However this drying on the perimeter is what forces the roots to grow back into the dirt which is why fabric works better than plastic. When Roots hit the perimeter of a plastic pot they just circle and hang around the edges. You want to use all the soil in your container. Also watering twice is crucial in a dry climate. Water a second time 30 minutes after the first time and you will soak a lot more of the inner dirt. @MissinBissin sorry you got no sap this time but the plants are beautiful nonetheless.
Thanks! Neat read. Anyone else getting Reefer Madness flashbacks? I remember reading about this ( lying about weed) stuff nearly 30 years ago and it was the first time I realized my government was willing to lie to me.
