Highgate Atjeh (Aceh) Outdoors

There has been so much rain! So heavy too..! I've shifted one of the plants to a more sunny position, and the others might be moved also. They have been growing very slowly, compared to the one indoors (you can see in the photos the difference!), and the ones I gave to a friend - wow... they have really gone nuts! One of the ones I gave to a friend, it turned out to be a male. His are already showing pre-flowers, and these guys have not even reached the 4th node yet..! I also think that one of the landrace seeds was mixed in with my friends... there's one great tall plant shooting up to almost a meter high! D: The others, well, I mainlined 2 of them, topped 2 of them, and the rest grow natural - it's turning out to be an interesting grow for him, and I've shown him how to recognise the sexes. One has started to show bananas, which is a bad sign, but I kept quiet about that... Out of the 15 I gave to him, I think that only 4-5 will be brought to term. It's a shame, but I think that he's learning a lot about how to tend to the plants - the nitrogen deficiency that he ran into (he was scared about over-watering, so let them go bone dry without feed) was fixed immediately - the only one that showed this was the great, tall sativa from Indonesia! :D That one is burning at the top - I really ought to take some photos of them... Anyhow - these guys are plodding along slowly... We'll see in a few months how they go :D One has a few green flies on it, and a bunch of little critters living in the water that collects around the nodes. There's nothing to do about this... Rather, nothing I want to do about this - let nature have its way :D The whorl is growing by itself, now. I'm just gonna let these guys go their own way. Someone recognised them immediately, so... Idk if they will stay here. The foxgloves are coming along nicely, though! :D On a sad note, a pigeon was wounded and I was looking after it for a few days... it was hiding in the bushes - I fed it bread, lentils and water, and was hoping it would get better. It tried to get out a few times, wandering down the alley, so I shooed it back in... but... On the third day, it escaped into the road, and I think someone went out of their way to run it over - it is splatted in the street, with feathers leading in a trail up the road. I am sad... I really wanted it to get better. But there are new pigeons around the place now. One is displaying a very neat collar - it is a collared dove, really. So... it's the circle of life I guess, but it doesn't make it any less sad to lose my little pigeon buddy... // I've snipped the little guy under the lights - he's not gonna get any taller unless it's in that shape, I've decided. The ones outside are ok... getting a bit bigger, not much. One has had its top leaves perforated by something... I'm gonna have to get a photo and ask Loves2Grow or someone who knows about pests. Ahhh dude! I had my mum and her husband (an ex-copper) come round to visit the other day, and we sat in the garden as they had their mental hyperactive dog with them. Fucking thing is insane! Goes ballistic whenever it sees me and forces me to play with it and wrestle. Only about 4-5 months old. I love that dog! :D Anyway, I was digging out a tree stump and my mum's eyes are on the ganja plants in the bed there, and she's staring at them and so is her husband and they pointedly ignore them and the one in the other bed xD hahaha I was discussing where to plant all the foodie greens when I get the stump out (if I do it in time) and she's like, "so yeah, you may as well take EVERYTHING out of that bed then, huh?" hahaha no fucking way, mum - I never listened to you as a kid - I'm certainly not gonna do it now! :P
