Late season grow 2022

Week 6 - 7 weeks of growth All plants have now begun to flower, and are stretching out a bit. Especially the chunk, thank goodness. I have introduced the bloom feed at lower volumes while continuing with veg feed and veg boost to try and get the most out of the stretch. They are in great shape, apart from the HG Kush, which I gave to a mate to grow out. As you can see he has butchered it really, with neglect and not enough light exposure resulting in a beanstalk. For a bit of interest I have attached some pics of my awesome dragon fruit plant which flowered beautifully earlier this week. It is a cactus like plant which looks ugly as hell for the most part. When in season, small buds appear along the stalks which grow and turn into long bulbs prior to flowering. They flower properly for one night only! It is an awesome sight as you can see. This is the one chance to get out at night and hand pollinate the flowers. The female organ protrudes from the flower with fingers raised waiting to be pollinated. You can greatly assist the process and increase your chances of fruit if you get out that night and collect the pollen from the rear of the flower, and rub it into the protruding receptor. I am fascinated by this, and was quite excited about this fleeting moment of beauty on an otherwise ugly plant.
