Anastasia & Giulia

This week I decided to move my fair ladies to a place that's shaded at noon. As of late the overall temperatures rose and I was preoccupied that this, in combination with the high-standing sun, could become too much to handle for them. Now they're getting morning and afternoon sun and are better protected against high winds from all but 2 directions. I changed the dripping irrigation to twice a day for 10 minutes (~7 a.m/p.m), hoping to get a better and prolonged water distribution inside the soil. Apart from some older leaves yellowing they both look healthy and in good shape. Giulia (Girl Scout Cookies) is slightly ahead in the flowering process, but Anastasia (AK-420) started developing trichomes on her sugar-leaves as well this week and is now giving off a distinctive, yet lovely, scent. Other than that I had to remove a couple of leave-munching locusts from Giulia, as she seems to be quite popular among that audience. On the other hand, Anastasia doesn't seem to have a problem with them. However, I highly doubt that the miniature praying mantis (< 1cm) in her top cola has anything to do with that but I'm sure she'll deal with a couple of other unwanted guests ✌️
