Starting this grow from a vegging clone i had from a friend.. the clone was under 18hr light and got to me when it was outdoor 13hr light and days got longer
Decided to do something big outdoors with a big pot bottom-less to the ground so root can go deeper.
This clone was used to 18hrs - then i introduced 13hrs (days getting longer - arround june 1st) - so it started to flower (i took it as a consideration and planned it ahead)
To be continued
We can definately see flowering is initiated but we are only at beginning of june and days just getting longer
I am intending to veg,not to flower right now and even if i let her flower she will go back to veg .
So i plan to introduce some artificial lighting during night time - just to add a few more hours and get her back to veg FAST
A lot of N in the mix is gonna help her
I have a lot of edible herbs and spice herbs in my garden , it is effective again pests,aphids and mites as its smell keeps 'em away
you can see rosemary,mint,lavender and some special egyptian mint from Santa Catarina Monestary.
I am in a process of revegging and it takes a few weeks to revert, patience is a key here and alot of Nitrogen
The good vegging progress is noticable as my plants no more producing buds or crystals
They are now GROWINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Bushy and healthy growth
No more distorted and twisted reveg leaves.
More and more preditors are interested in my plants and feeding from pests,flies and another harmful bugs.
Watering now gets pretty intense as ladies consume alot and soil drys out every 2 days.
alot of bugs (good and bad) gather arround my ladies,and it seems like its own echo system here with a whole food chain on my plants as little ones are eaten by big ones etc...
suddenly i spotted whats damaging my plants and causing the dots - it is butterfly worms....
Then again i got alot of natural preditors whom i trust to do a great job so i try not to over spray with neem to keep em arround.
making sure i kill every maggot i see
So........turning off the supplemental lighting as natural day light now is 12 hrs and getting shorter (we are beyond solstice.
wanted to use trellis nets for long time and now i have the chance - https://www.ebay.com/itm/313722691733?hash=item490b546095:g:K8YAAOSwFWhfI7hF
the plants are gonna stretch alot + winds here and there..so nets suppose to support the heavy branches well.
i am still watering with strong N mix as first 2 weeks of bloom need alot of N
The plants are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy higher than the nets but i think its still effective as the fattening up is still ahead of us.
Switched to bloom furts - high ppm
ppm meter - https://www.ebay.com/itm/324694530867?hash=item4b994d5b33:g:H~oAAOSw8M5g2fqD
For acidalkaline i use the chemical liquid test kit. - kit - https://www.ebay.com/itm/324694530867?hash=item4b994d5b33:g:H~oAAOSw8M5g2fqD
processing outside and then taking for drying in a shadowed ventilated room for about 10 days......very sticky stuff...
then to jars to cure for 2 weeks.
Then i vacuum seal it. - total of 1KG buds 840gram of nice fat ones + 160gram popcorn
