It was in the 70's when I planted 6 seeds. Two in the ground came up within a week. 4 in pots have not come up yet. Ran into a cold streak and even snowed. My super skunks had no issues with the snow!!
Great week. The four seeds in the pots all came up and took right off. Six for six this year!! The new growth in the pot plants are the same size as the garden plants that have been up for over a week. Watering every other day 1/2 gallon per pot. Mother Nature is taking care of the garden plants. She might need a little help.
Update: Watched a bird take a garden plant this morning for a nest or just needed to relax?? Planted another seed. Should come up pretty fast in the garden.
Getting warmer during the day but still two nights with frost. A little Afghan blood line helps with the cold temps. Replacement seed not up after a week in the garden. Started with some perfect micro grow. Plants perked up after the first drink and the one garden plant grew almost an 1.5" in a week.
Warmer week. Day time temp in the high 70's and low 80's. Nighttime in the high 60's to low 50's. Tons of humidity but no rain until today. Watering everyday and fertilizing twice a week. Planted 4 more seeds to fill out the garden after planting all my veggies.
I was out of town so I set-up a soaker hose for the potted plants and let Mother Nature take care of the two in the garden. These are quick shots I took before I weeded the gardens. The burnt plant is starting to show signs of new growth and the biggest plant in the garden has some Frankstein qualities to it with some strange leaves.
Hot week. Almost 100 degrees everyday and 80 overnight. Feeding them twice a week now and increased watering to a gallon a day per pot and 10 minute soak with the sprinkler in the gardens. Two in the larger pots are both over 15" tall and 2' diameter. The Frankenstein plant has some very strange looking leafs mixed in with typical leaves. Had to stake it since it was falling over. I think the seed must have been cross bred with some other type of plant. The plant that I think I almost killed with the first batch of nutrients is showing signs of new life but is still very small. The bigger plants are starting to smell like their namesake.
Another warm week with no rain. Increased water in the pot to 1.5 gallons per 24 hour. Hitting them with the nutrients twice a week now. The tree in the pots grew almost 10" in a week. Starting to have a strong smell that you can detect from the other side of the yard.
It was cold for the first few days this week but I think it gave the plants a needed break from the heat. Been having to water the pots twice a day with about a gallon each. Still feeding twice a week. The three larger plants in the pots are growing over an inch a day. I have been watering the garden plants with the sprinkler for 30 minutes each a day. Smelling very good.
Hot week. Having to water twice a day. One plant is over 42" and looking strong. The potted plants are fuller and smell better. Increase nutrients to 8 mils a gallon twice a week.
Got some needed rain and a little cooler. The one garden plant grew 18" in a week. Most are growing at about an inch a day. No flowers but days will start to get shorter so mother nature will do her thing. Getting very stinky. Can smell it from over 50 feet.
Dry week again except for one day of rain. Plant in the garden grew about a foot this week is at least 6 feet tall but no signs of flowers yet. The Plants in the pots have slowed down as far as height goes, about 6 inches of growth in the bigger pots, but filling out. Should have the beginnings of flowers any day. They are really starting to smell strong.
Hot week with one good day of soaking rain. The two plants in the larger pots have slowed down in height growth and maybe signs of flowers. The cat has been eating one of the small plants in the garden. I guess that one is taking one for the team. The two large ones in the garden are are getting close to eight feet and no signs of any flowers. I think the light change is starting to take effect and I will have confirmed flowers by next week.
Starting to get into a late summer weather pattern with warm day and cool night. Hopefully it will trigger flowers. Plants in the garden are both over 8' tall. Cat keeps pruning a small plant...super strong smell. Signs of flowers but nothing full on. Doubled the nutrients in prep for the flowers. Having to water twice a day..they are thirsty!!
Great growing week. Plants in the pots switched from height to flowers. Plants in the garden are well over 9 feet tall with small flowers everywhere. The stalks are almost 2” diameter. Should get some great results based on the number of flowers coming out.
Couple of quick shots this week. They can't get enough water. Been hot as hell. Having to water twice a day and increased feeding to everyday since the flowers popped. Great smell. Some of the flowers towards the tops are about 1" in size. Still can't figure out what the one strain is. It is a lime color, much more compact than the other plants, with a softer smell and tighter buds. If anyone has a clue let me in on it. Put on auto water with my advanced hydrating system (timer and soaker hose) since I am going to gone for a few days. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days. Happy Growing!!
Great week!! Went away for a few days, set-up auto water, and came back to tons of great flowers. Big storms came through and broke off a large branch on my tallest (10'+) plant. Donated the few little buds to the "bubble" cause. They all needed food since they were starved for a few days...lots of yellow leaves..trying to justify by thinking that the plants are dropping off that lower shit and fueling the flowers. Noticeable trichomes on the two larger potted plants and one smaller one. The lime one has buds but is just different than the others. It is a lot more of a bush with lots of smaller flowers. Little less of a smell on the lime plant. Fun to see results.
Hot week with three straight days of rain. Lower leafs falling off and the plants in the pots have well defined buds with lots of goodness. Plants in the garden Tate out of control. Over 11 feet tall and flowers everywhere but small and less sticky stuff. They seem to be about a week behind the others. Can smell them from 100 feet.
I was gone for 10 days so set-up auto water in the pots and let mother nature do her thing in the gardens. 3 of the potted plants have a solid mass of buds almost a foot long towards the top with lots of popcorn. The weird little plant has a bunch of flowers all around the main stem but very little outside. Still cant figure out what it is. The garden plants are almost too big. The tops of the two are almost bending over from the weight of the sky buds. All smells very strong and is super sticky. Cant wait. Hopefully soon since leaves are falling so no more cover!!
Strange week. Big storm tipped over three pots and broke an 8’ branch off. Sacrificing to the edible gods rather than mulch. Been cold at night snd hot during the day. They really stink in a good way. Potted plants should be ready next week. One is dropping leafs but not effecting the flowers. Will make harvest fest much simpler.
More storm damage this week. Lots of buds for the edible gods. Loosing leaves at a rapid pace. Going to give it a little test run to see how it is progressing. Want to harvest before they become couch Velcro flowers.
Had to harvest a few weeks earlier than planned. Neighbor with nothing better to do reported that there was a family of skunks in the swamp in my back yard and sent animal control out. At least he gave me a warning so I chopped down what was left and placed them in a safe place to do some drying yoga. Had a great first trim and cure last week with the storm damaged flowers and got enough to give to 6 cancer friends. Bonus 15 g of trim bubble fun. My cat is loving spending time on watch enjoying the dried fruits of our labor.
