They have started flowering. Feels like it happened so fast. Both are doing really well and I am encouraged at all signs of growth. I have peeled off every nitrogen fert and started with all the heavy Bloom items and armor si to build up some stem strength.
The weather has been tropical to say the least. Unfortunately this leads to PMD which is why I have started to use Trifecta. I included it as a watering item to help reduce stress and still promote some resistance.
It is recommended to do a couple leaf test run which is what I am gearing up for. I just wanted to soil introduce first.
Structure wise these things are going to yield. Did some culling of the lower branch items.
Very excited about these two.
The only thing I can think of is to remove real weeds from around your plants. Then maybe put some plastic on the ground around them. Try and keep the humidity off of them. Not sure what your security worries are. Your in a tough spot, have to work with the cards you been dealt. You did a nice job and I wish you the best of luck.
@Pjm70,
I have used sand in the past. However the heavy rains have kept it really green in the NH this year so it’s a pretty dead give away to thieves or the constabulary. One of these had to come down the other day. Too much bud rot moving in.
