6th week of growth. They are doing well after a wet week, and some milder temps.
I made a batch of worm tea which hey seemed to really enjoy.
Auto cookies is exceeding expectations. Banana Kandy looks like a shaggy dog, but healthy, and chunk is taking a great shape
No real problems to this point ๐ค๐ผ
@Shooey, we have been breaking records with the temps over here in the west
Onslow which is north of me got to 51 yesterday ๐ฎ
Was only 44 here ๐
I planted heaps this summer because I plan on taking a break for a month so I can go fishing
and enjoy the beach a bit.
With luck I might get several pounds to keep me in smoko so I can take a break
@Grey_Wolf, thanks Wolf!
Great to be back into it.
Looks like you have your hands full this year too!
Hoping for some kind weather to get these ones safely through.
Cheers mate ๐ป
Thanks @EasyName! Very kind mate, but the topping is really easy.
I have been experimenting a bit with defol, as well as tucking and folding leaves.
I think itโs really helped the lower parts reach up more quickly, and they look nice and full already ๐ป
@Shooey, well good to know, I have a few free seeds so at least I know what to expect.
But at least you didn't really loose any money ๐ค
I was really just asking because I had a case where one of my seed wasn't sprouting (went from 24h in water to being in a wet paper towel), so I took my forceps and squeezed it until a heard a small crack, and then placed it back into the paper towel..a day later it started to sprout. Maybe this could save a seed in the future if you find yourself in such a situation๐ค
@EasyName, Hi Easy! Great to hear from you mate ๐
Honestly it was all over the place. They all sunk but a few didnโt sprout. A few sprouted but didnโt grow. A few popped up and stalled.
Itโs a result to be expected from free seeds. They are good to get with your order, but you canโt rely on them in the same way as your purchased seeds. Better to pay for quality and ensure reliability ๐
@Shooey to kill the catterpillars grab some "Yates" Catterpillar Killer made from Dipel which is harmless to everything else
gives the pillars a stomach poison that kills them off quick
@Grey_Wolf, thanks wolf. A guy from Canada suggested Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) .
From reading, it seems to work in a similar way, have you ever used it mate?
Good luck with the grow bro looking good๐ค๐ค I just had a few packs arrive so I'll be starting s couple more in a few days ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฅ take care bro
@@SCooBy_SNacKs,cheers Scoob. Yep you are gonna have some big ones on your hands mate!
I had a couple last year, but it doesnโt suit me being in the city, and needing to move em when thereโs weather or kids around.
Hence the early and late grows, which is mostly about keeping them the ideal size.
Next mission is sourcing some good new strains for next season and beyond now.
Yours are looking unreal this year mate, you will be set for ages ๐
@Med_in_Tropic, I think they are some slow release fertiliser in the potting mix I used mate. My super soil is too rich for young roots, so I start in this mix before transplanting. Potting mix here can be full of sticks and stones unless you pay for good ones
