Better late than never- All auto-flowering plants were started in the month of May, during this time I (TOH) was very sick and unable to get these diaries started. Out of respect to the breeders along with the companies that supplied these seeds we would like to show our gratitude be sharing their growth, I apologize for the lack of pictures and the time that it has taken for me to get the diary logs started. From here and now on, we grow.
As you can see these two are well on their way, the flowering stage has already begun and the colouring is gorgeous. Hopefully we have a simple grow all the way through!
Words can not explain how beautiful these two girls are, it is hard to take your eyes off of them. The colour is such a dark purple that it almost looks black and we are impressed. They are moving along very quickly which is wonderful but as you can see one is bigger and a little farther along than the other, we have not had any issues with them to speak of as of yet. It is safe to say we would grow a field of these if we could just so we could stare at them all. WOW with a side of WOW!
Absolute Wow, as you can see the one little beauty is not growing so well as the other and she could use a good cold tap water rinse to try to illuminate the mildew.
Other than that!
Beautiful weather and a week without issues, that is the all around report!
The top dress along with Bokashi was applied and a rain barrel treat was shared to all once this week with a mix of Hygrozyme and Hyshield, it seemed to be very much enjoyed. A good spray of NForce helped with the aphids along with the stink bugs that were threatening to take over the gardens and Optic foliar spray was applied once a few days later, so far we are happily growing!
We have been watering daily to keep things moist, on the hotter days it has both morning and night.
No issues to report this week, we had a good hard rain yesterday and it was surely enjoyed. The top dress along with Bokashi have been once again applied and the watering is a daily chore although the rain helped out yesterday. The rain barrel was used to brew the Tea for three days which was a combination of 444, Bokashi, Cal mag and microbial mass. It was shared to all our ladies and it was also very much enjoyed, as always!
We have found that a good cold tap water spray not only kills the powdery mildew but also clears away the bugs, we will do this when needed but thankfully the autos do not seem to be under attack. Holding steady we continue to grow as does our garden!
NOTE- these two will get the hose tonight…
These two little beauties had a good wash, there were more bugs than normal but they did clean up. It is a battle to keep them away because we do not spray them while flowering, the sweet smelling ones will always attract the pests and they do smell sweet!
