Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of veg.
This week went smooth enough.
Earlier this week I saw a adult male from the rental house behind me trying to look through the fence to see how I was doing on my grow. They don't say Hi they just want to see, so I took a security camera from somewhere else on the property and put it up viewing this area and I haven't seen him since. I hope he or they get the message.
I have been concerned that I would get ripped off from them or their buddy's because they usually have a couple of big party's each summer and anyone who was there and was talking about it could come back and break in and help themselves. So far I haven't been ripped off: knock on wood.
The plants are stretching out nice. I gave a big watering earlier this week and I'm getting some big fan leaves out now, the roots must have found the compost I mixed in the soil.
I would like to flower in a couple of weeks around June 1st so I'm going to try to stretch these girls out as much as possible before then.
Just got the garden finished this week. I've planted, chard, lettuce, carrots, beets, beans, tomato's, cilantro, peas, potato's, basil, early squash, zucchini and pumpkins. I think the racoon ate my little broccoli plants when it was scrounging around for worms. ๐ Oh well.
Chuck.
@Chucky324,So, essentially, the nurse needs to be an expert in which strain, the techniques used, nutrition, potential yield and pretty much every aspect of cannabis growing, in order to be able to determine - on a case by case basis - exactly what you might end up with and, so, prescribe a grow schedule for you to follow..?
Pretty cool job to have - do they have any vacancies..? :D
@@Teh_Saccade, Hello. Once the nurse talks to you and finds out with number of plant you are interested in and what it is for, they issue a prescription for so many grams a day. Back at Health Canada they have worked out how many plants one needs to grow to get that many grams a day. Their papers geared one towards SOG (sea of green) where you harvest so many plants a week and put new ones in the tent to replace the ones I just harvested.. Chuck.
@Chucky324, 144 / gross of plants seems rather an arbitrary number, huh?
Did they just pluck that out of the air, or does it have any bearing on reality..?
Ohhhh the old san pedro peyotes!!!
Haven't seen that for a lonnnng time, Chuck! :D haha
They are looking fat!
I love mescaline! Almost as much as harmalas!
I've not known anyone to keep the torches before - that's an uncommon one for collectors to keep, and tbh I've not known a single person to own that many peyote before, either xD
You have enough there to get a big ol' party started, my dude! :D
Some of them are flowering too..! You know how hard that is to do in captivity?!
@@Teh_Saccade, Yeah, They are not illegal here if they are part of your collection. But if I was growing 100's of them they might get uptight if I was caught. I got rid of most of my cactus when cannabis was legalized and I sold the smallest glass greenhouse to the neighbor for a small profit. Here's a surprise, our government has just legalized small amount of hard drugs. I think it was 2.5 grams of hard drugs can be legally carried by anybody and not be charged. There has been so much fentanyl deaths they had to do something. I don't do the hard drugs but I like a little peyote or mushrooms occasionally. Chuck.
@Chucky324, hhahaha! :D
Damn, man, that's funny :D
There was some place in the nederlands that, at the start of lockdown, was selling their entire stock of peyote (1") for 1euro each, plus shipping.
I was thinking of going crazy, but if they were opened by customs... I'm not sure that this plant is legal in my country :P
@@Teh_Saccade, We had a local cactus club I used to belong too. One meeting the president said the local gardening show wants to video someone's greenhouses and plants, So 3 of us volunteered and somehow the others backed out and the show was about me and my 3 greenhouses full of cactus and succulents. There was a camera guy and a producer and the host and me all trying to fit in little greenhouses. It was a good show and I got praise and clapping when it was showen at the next meeting. The funniest part was the local tv station took about a minute of the best shots and pans and put it in with the commercials, you know with their logo in the corner and the first shot was a slow pan over my young peyote. They were about 1/2 inch at the time. It aired for about 4 weeks and then stopped. I can imagine that someone at one of their meetings saying that one of their friends said that the channel had been showing Canada my little peyote buttons. ๐๐๐ Chuck.
Hey Chuck!
Is that like a clothes horse or something that you are using for the spreader..? I never thought of doing that before - with the rods. Could just be canes instead of a soccer net - probably a lot easier to manage!
@@Teh_Saccade, Hi Buddy. I use to grow a lot of cactus's and had some heavy duty shelves, so I bolted together some heavy duty frames and I had a old futon mattress metal frame which folded to make a sofa which I thought would work for the top to spread out the branches. I scrounged around and found some wood dowels and metal rods to fill the gaps. I thought about drilling holes in the metal frame and sliding the dowels and rods through, but that would be some work and I had other things to do. Maybe I'll do that this winter. Works great. But I do have to tie the branches that go out to the side until they reach the edge. Often in late bloom it's hard to get around the table to open the tent. I'm thinking about growing vegetables in here this winter. Have fun. Chuck.
Damn dude - I wish I could provide those conditions..!
Here I just have to deal with whatever the weather gives me, and whatever I can muster up using common household objects (excluding the ts600 & ts1000, which are pretty specific)
That poor kitty..! DANCE CAT DANCE xD
@@Teh_Saccade, I hear you brother. They are tough for little things. I could shake them when I had less plants to deal with. Maybe this winter๐ Chuck.
@Chucky324,Them gnats are a pain to get rid of... I think it's been over a month I've been waiting for this lot to die off or move out. Don't want them hanging around - they're annoying AF!
@@Teh_Saccade, The roots have found the compost. I eat a banana each day and throw the peel in the compost. I think the plants really like the extra potassium the peels add. I don't use the compost inside for fear of bugs getting in. Chuck.
@@Teh_Saccade, I put leaf mulch under all my bushes and perennials in the fall and the racoons help by turning it for the bugs and worms they pick out but sometimes they are troublesome. We enjoy when mom brings her cubs to the yard in the summer to feed. We see them on the security cameras at night. Chuck.
@Ezzjaybruh, Thanks Bud. I am going to cross this coming summer - Delicious Seeds, 11 Roses, 5 fem x Rare Dankness, Buford OG, 12 reg. I it will have a citrus, sweet fruit, earthy taste and smells. 11 roses is 100% indica. They both say large yields. I think it will be a good cross. Chuck.
They look beautiful, big buds, beautiful structure, they look very frosty and sticky, all in all, done professionally. Good luck with your grows. ๐ช๐
