Hang Ka Rog

No problems this week, moved them from under the lights to outdoors in the paper pots getting ready to replant into the 10gal pots. The color seems to be quite light, I feed with fish emulsion fertilizer and worm cast tea. Size of the 6 plants is quite different. In part due to when they came up, but seems the plants have a high variance in size and shape.

Transplanted the night before into their homes for the next 6 months. All went well, added mycorrhizal to the root so hope that gives good development. Growing well, will top in a couple of days after the shock of transplanting eases and they begin to grow again. It has been hot and dry around 35c during some days but should start raining again this week. Overall happy with the results so far in my homemade super soil.

All of them coming along, I added crab craw leaf compost and manure today, 1/2c for a nitrogen boost. After topping many are doing well and recovered quickly. But not a lot of sun at the moment, it has been raining a lot, so moving under cover during mid day quite often.

Starting feeding nitrogen rich crab leaf compost 1 cup and wormcast tea

Away at the moment but my helper and dog are overseeing the grow

Growing quite tall, still a long way off to flowering.

They plants are doing well, but quite leggy, and getting tall very quickly. The leaves are much bigger than my older Hang Ka Rog plant which has been flowering for 3 weeks and looks like it may be a male/female. Hopefully it does not fertilize my other plants, so far not happening. I have no place to isolate it. Otherwise the 6 plants are doing well, good growth, healthy and strong stems.

Growing well, still putting on some height, and beginning to flower. The leaves are nice and healthy, I top dressed with my compost and added some diatomaceous earth. Saw some ants, so want to try and reduce the numbers.

Feeding with crab claw tree leaves and manure and seaweed liquid and wormcast tea. They have begun to flower, I discovered a male and culled it, a bit late as one of the plants was fertilized but hopefully the other 3 will not produce seeds

2 plants have been flowering for 2 weeks, 1 just started to flower and 2 are starting to show signs of flowering and they do look like females, fingers crossed the weather has turned a bit dryer and sunnier which they are loving

3 are really flowering, one is pre flower and one is still veg. Still all are quite healthy, no signs of seeds so lucky I seemed to have culled the male soon enough. The one I topped once is 2.3m but the ones I topped twice are only about 2 meters and started flowering first. Finally it is sunny and the plants are loving it. Looks like I have another 4-6 weeks of flowering before I can harvest

4 out of 5 flowering now, strange as it seems every week one more starts to flower. But overall growth is good, I have been top dressing with worm cast and extra fertilizer as they seem a bit low in N and P

Still only 3 are flowering, not sure if it is the plants genetics or maybe 2 of them were exposed to more streetlight and did not go into flower, looks like it might be too late.

out of 5 plants 2 still not really flowering, so I decided to cut them down as it is getting late in the grow and they are starting to weaken. So even if they start to develop flowers, the yield will be low so not worth the trouble. Gave away the leaves to friends that cook with them. So not gone to waste. Just waiting to harvest the last 3 plants. One is very tall, almost 3 meters, keeps falling over. Noticed lower leaves developing phosphorus deficiency, but read that it is not an issue for flowers as they suck down nutrients stored in leaves. Hope that is right. Flowers are getting fatter.

Down to 3 plants, just waiting for some space in my temperature controlled refrigerator to clear so that I can harvest and begin drying. I noticed that the plants started to develop thrips, I decided to wait it out and see if I could harvest them before it takes over the plant rather than spraying with anything. But that turned out to be a mistake. So the following week, I sprayed with vodka, should do the trick, because they started getting spider mites. Defoliated a little bit, will do more the following week.

Been defoliating during the week, getting ready to harvest. They had thrips and one of them got spider mites, I sprayed with vodka that seems to have killed them, so now I will just keep picking off the fan leaves until I harvest. I will definitely wash with lemon and baking soda before drying.

Took a long time to harvest. Lots of leaves so decided to wet trim it so it would fit in the fridge. It is at 20c 55% humidity so that should work out well. I washed them in hydrogen peroxide solution since the air here is so dirty, but did not seem to get much dust off them, I think it might have been a waste of time. But we will see. I did not weigh the wet buds, maybe next time, just took a guess at the weight. But I think that is about right, as a couple of branches were broken earlier and each yielded 100g dry.
