Show must go on!
Week 12th was with century record rain. 8 inches rain almost every day. The streets are flooded. Water pooling in my yard.
Tick off “irrigation tolerance” and “disease tolerance”. Eleven Roses strain performs well. In low light she stretches.
My plants are in plastic basket. One third of the soil is coconut husk. Soil is well drain. I top the soil with a liter of earth worm casting. It leaches into the soil and keeps plant well fed. Added some Epsom salt and molasses by one soil drenching session. Epsom is for magnesium which is easily leached. Molasses is to maintain microbe with sugar.
I should top her one more time next week. She is a bit too tall too early. I am planning to veg for a month longer to avoid rain. I am in the tropic my plants won’t freeze.
Scoring stem on plant 1. And I ordered my IBA. Next week, I shall try to root the tops to keep this easy growing phenotype.
@KingSalomonsWeed, Bangkok is tropical. Thai landrace is well known. However, these grow in hill country north of Bangkok. And I grow Indica hybrid out door. 😬
@GYOweed, becuz I usually put up diaries of my first runs. Once i learned what each strain like, i grow clones that do much better than what are in the diaries.
Some time “new” strains are just the same stuff as i have grown before. Only with different names .
So, this skunk x afghani blend is in well familiar territory.
@GYOweed, plant health has a lot to do origin of genetec vs sesonal sun intensity and temperature. This is my primary growing season for stretchy kush leaning plant.
@GYOweed, mine are getting tall. And they will only go into flowering after four mor months. Time to take prepare for topping to control bush shape. And I might as well take some clones.
it has been raining heavy here too
I just noticed this is Appalachian Kush x Sugar Black Rose
Appalacia is relatively humid like florida and has a lot of rain, and the best part is the people there like to get reaaalllly effed up so your keeper should be frosty and resilient.
You'll be playing the banjo in no time Mr. Tropic.
@Med_in_Tropic, do u remember the days u used to have smaller nugs with bug semen and mold everywhere? Im so proud of u now. Ive been pretty nostolgic lately
@GYOweed, i still have'nt update. One plant is okay. The other is too slow. In general, s;urries are slow in my climate. Feel like they are slow sativa than a proper indica.
I also have a sugar cane from IHG growing. Seemed to be more "indica" like than the slurries.
This week end, I think I would have time to spend on my garden. It is time for me to finally put plants ito flowering. Shall snap a few pics to up date.
Great stuff med. Really nice job on these, the end product looks spot on .
How's the bugs! Was that the only bud lost to them?? I don't think I've seen them in AUS. We do have these tiny like moths that leave a white powder on everything it touches. It reminds me of that with the white colour!
Another great grow and diary med 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@Shooey, these bugs flies about. Laid eggs. Have powedery protection. Then burrow in bettween flower buds. My anti-bugs fungi don't quite work on them.
These mealy bugs secrete syrup to lure ants. Given a chance, ants woudl farm and protect these buds. The bug syrup is a cause of mold.
I "lost" aout 10 grams due to these. There was not much rot. But I separate the buds to pervent them sreading mold in my curing boxes. These "lost" buds are ususally my tip to people working on my house on odd jobs like servicing my air condition units and heavy yard work.
It is troublesome to dispose of branches and leaves from my trees. So I have people who do this professionally help me.
