Well the plants took a beating this week with 4 days of rain and high winds, over 100mm of rain down in a single day. The ties held and only 2 broken branches overall. The Bubblegum branches finally started to fall but still don't need any support. It was nice not having to water much, only 10gal each for the week. So all in all it's still all Good.
The Power Puff Girl is ready for harvest any day but I'm holding out hoping for a final warm dry one. I cropped a crown before the rains began and the smell and sticky is already intense.
Mandarin Cookies has the densest flower, can't wait to see how it matures. Gemstone remains a Beast that looks like it will need until Nov to finish, we'll see. Already chopped off one flower with bud rot but no signs of any more.
Bring on the Sun 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
