Countdown: Plants have been in veg for 49 days with an estimated 79 days to go before the Start of Flower 😁
Plants are loving outdoors but temperatures have fallen to 2C with heavy rain. Brought in the 2 movable pots, holding Bubblegum and PPG, into the house until a change in the weather. Regardless the plants still managed to grow between 6 and 9" this week.
Mandarin Cookies: Height 20", Planted in ground pre-mixed with compost and dry fertilizer, watered as part of garden
Gemstone: Height 22", 60 litre container, 50% Promix 50% Soil, pot bottom removed to give access to additional 18" of soil mixed with dry fertilizer, 0 ml/l Advanced Nutrient mix, 0 gal of water throughout week
Bubblegum: Height 24", 60 litre container, 100% Promix, 1.5ml/l Advanced Nutrient mix, 2 gal of water throughout week

@TrickOrTrip, thanks I appreciate the comment 👍 It's risky starting ahead of the end of frost date but they are a hardy plant. The 2 I left outside appear to have withstood the 2C temps no problem. Looking forward to some Heat!
Such a beautiful garden; big and bushy 🌿
I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your grow, I’m sure you will have your hands full come harvest time.
@Grisly, yes!
I’m in that boat with you my friend!
It’s a lot of fun and a lot of diligence to get them to grow into giants like these; but the gamble and effort is worth it when you get to pull in a huge crop at the end 💜🤞
@Themythicalchristine, Thanks and here's hoping. Great fun to grow them big! I like the gamble and possible Big payoff as the long haul comes down to a bit of luck and good weather in the last 2 weeks 😁
Not gonna lie I am 1) Jealous of the patience to veg 16 weeks I've only gone as far as 10, 2)The fat stalks with bark and the presumed harvest at the end. This is ridiculously awesome!
@cfstan85, Nothing special, just the initial topping and time. I'm counting on them getting larger still. The gemstone is > 2" in diameter at this point 😁
@linassof, Advanced Nutrients are added to the water at the max recommended amounts. I'm only fertilizing the plants in containers with 100% Promix. Typically watering 2 or 3 times a week dependent on rain and temperature. The 2 plants in soil are feeding off a layer of dry fertilizer and compost. 😁
