A couple of days late with this update as I was lucky enough to enjoy a couple of days away with some old chums at a friend's cottage on the lake. Great weekend - but on to the plant...
The Two Scoops is growing well and looking very pretty. She's put another 5" since last week.
Unfortunately, I noticed the dreaded white powdery mildew on a couple of leaves. I treated the entire plant with Safers 3 in 1 garden spray. I hope this does the trick - I lost an entire harvest to wpm and grey mould last fall 🤞 I'm really surprised to see it this early in the game given that it hasn't been insanely humid and airflow has been good given it's been a very breezy summer thus far. Oh mother nature. Why must you taunt me so? 😅
More news next week. Thanks for tuning in ✌️
I love the cage, hate the tree rats.
I saw some around my veggie garden the other day so I started barking at them. I think my dog would be more effective lol.
Looks great. Nice and happy. good luck battling the elements this year.
@Stunflower... I feel your pain, I really do!! Had to chop some of my ladies early because of foxtailing and bud rot... no choice! But it looks like you'll get some decent smokes out of this grow...
@GrowingGrannie, You are so right about those difficult summers to come - sadly. Like you, I’m wondering if outdoor growing again will be worth the effort.
All the best with your crops!
@StunFlower, Thank you so much! What a nice thing to say!
This summer has been utterly cruel to a whole lot of grows.... sigh.... I think we should ALL prepare for difficult summers ahead... For ME, it means I'm only going to grow sativas outside IF I ever grow outside again!!
@GrowingGrannie, Thanks, GG. Yes, thankfully it won't be a total loss (like it was last summer). I still have a lot to learn about outdoor growing. The lack for control can be incredibly frustrating. I also know I could/should be much more strategic about the strains I try to grow outside and pick things that are more mould resistant and finish earlier (as far as photoperiods go). BTW, your BruceLemonDiesel is looking great 😍
