The Ppg stole the show for the week as its closest to finishing and has the smell to prove it. The Ppg is advertised to finish in as short as 7 weeks, well see. Its sticky and stinky with a pungent smell of skunk. Its at least 3 weeks ahead of the Gemstone and 4 weeks ahead of the Bubblegum which I expect will both see frost before theyre done.
The weather made watering interesting this week with 2 days no water, 3 days full fertilizer, and 2 days water only, about 20gal each in total plus rain.
The Gemstone is showing massive potential for big flowers and the Bubblegum has so many stems I finally took the time to defoliate the bottom 3ft. The plant is too dense causing the centre foliage to go straggly.
Turns out the smallest of the plants, the Mandarin cookies has the densest flower with the most resin. Be interesting to see what the yield turns out to be on this one. ๐
@TrickOrTrip, thanks I appreciate the comment ๐ 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 ๐ฟ
I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your grow, Iโm sure you will have your hands full come harvest time.
@Grisly, yes!
Iโm in that boat with you my friend!
Itโs 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 ๐๐ค
@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 ๐
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 ๐

@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. ๐
