Midweek update: 3 days, 1" of rain, and up to 5 inches of growth. The Bubblegum soaked up 6 gallons with half strength Advanced Nutrients and then a thunderstorm dropped an inch of rain before I could continue watering. While checking for damage I discovered both leaf hopper and striped cucumber beetles have found the plants. Pest control has begun 😞.
The Gemstone grew a whopping 5 inches in 3 days trying to beat out the tomatoes. Im starting to think the soil Promix combo, pot bottom cut out and sitting on top of the larger garden, is really starting to pay off. PPG is still tallest at 47 inches and is in 100% Promix but Gemstone is catching up.
End of Week
Countdown: Plants have been in veg for 77 days with an estimated 51 days to go before the Start of Flower 😁
Did some serious defoliation of branches and finally pared the plants down to their main branches.
Mandarin Cookies: Height 37"
Bubblegum: Height 40" Watered 10 gal 2ml/l Advanced Nutrient mix
Gemstone: Height 46" Watered 1 gal no extra nutes
Power Puff Girls: Height 49" Watered 4 gal 2ml/l Advanced Nutrient mix
@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. 😁
