Alright all, it's been awhile since I've been able to update so I have a couple weeks to catch up on.
Unfortunately my cheap phone was having issues last week and I had to do a deep clean and got rid of some photos, photos I though I'd uploaded to my drive that I actually hadn't. I seriously could have kicked myself. But thankfully I at least have a video instead of nothing.
So on August 1st I got some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a mushroom farmer down the road. I crumbled the blocks around the base of each plant and watered them in. The purpose of putting the blocks down is that they still have live mycelium in them, and the mycelium creates a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant and it's root structure. The cannabis roots can only take up so much surface area, but the mycelium can take up the space the roots do not and form a network where in exchange for sugars the mycelium will provide nutrients for the cannabis plants. Also, watering with the molasses gives the mycelium the sugars it wants.
I'm sorry I don't have more pictures, I wasn't even thinking when I was cleaning up my phone because I was so frustrated with it (there's a reason LG stopped making phones recently). It's just been wayyyyyyyy more busy than I expected or wanted it to and I've had hardly any time in the garden. It's all this rain! Last year I was complaining about how there wasn't enough rain, now this year there's plenty of it. When I'm not doing Garden stuff I'm working part time with my husband doing landscaping and tree work, which includes mowing lawns. Last year with the drought we were mowing lawns maybe every 2 weeks. This year it's every 4-5 days. It's crazy.
OMG, you're growing 16 plants?!😱 You're a sweetheart, taking care of your wounded chicken 😍. Love to read your diarie! I'll stop commenting now because I feel like a stalker.. 😂
@StealthyDutchGuy, Well, I didn't keep 16. That would have been wayyyyyyy to much for me to handle! I have 5 Photoperiods currently in the ground (one of which is hemp) and 4 autos that I started earlier which have been harvested. 2 of the 3 Blueberry plants went to a friend with cancer.
@StealthyDutchGuy, Actually I am venturing out into more THC heavy strains this year! My tolerance is better and I don't get so much paranoia, so where I've been growing mainly 1:1's the past couple years I have this Blueberry and then I did Green Crack and Sour Diesel for autos which I harvested last month. I am very much enjoying the Green Crack lately. I vape an oven full, put on some Fleetwood Mac and I can get some serious work done in the garden in 2 hours and have the best time doing it!
Like your Photo, talking about Mary though! She looks very vibrant and healthy! Says a lot about your care for the plant! Keep growing Mother Nature WILL bless you!
