Hey everyone, damn how exciting!!! NZ grow season kicks off with a bang this year for me. This is one of my very unique landrace strain Fruity LoopZ going into season 9 WITHOUT FERTILIZER! Ok what I do do is top dress burnt animal bone ash dust over the sight on the shortest day (winter solstice) which gives it all these months to absorb into the soil...Later in the year I will mulch to retain moisture, cool soil over the hot months and provide access to extra trace elements and nutrients. Other than this I do not fertilise! Meaning the plant has learned to communicate with its environment and Evolve specific ways to achieve homeostasis with the native volcanic clay based soils of north western Aotearoa New Zealand. By doing so it has developed unique terpenes around the sulphur content in the soil which give amazing high notes of anything from rose, tamarind, cinnamon and blood orange. The high is a true form of mental levitation...just as you are nom noming you head around the complex and unique flavour profiles you are hit by a strong sense of rising upwards..its great for anxiety, pain and sleep disorders. Over the last year I have gotten my veg room into really good production mode save some ventilation issues when the clones get bigger and take up too much room...I tell you the checks and balances are nuts am I right gurus? So heres my first problem this outdoor grow...YES it is September and unofficially spring here...it is always better to put your clones out after the vernal equinox so as not to trigger premature flowering..this time of year is perfect for seedlings...however im focusing on my seeds in another way this year so will be putting only clones in the garden this year for my sun grown medpot. So effectively its too damn cold to be doing this with clones as there isn't enough true daylight ..but as you can tell from some of the leaves of this clone I've struggled to balance growth, space, watering etc etc etc..so I've called it. I topped it last week knowing full well what I would have to do this week..planting out to regain control of my veg room which has been an absolute jungle in preparation for the outdoor season. I dont grow a lot (only for my own medicinal use..strictly) so my indoor space is limited however at this time of year the veg room is bustling with new life bursting to get out into the daylight and prove themselves to be monsters for daddy! My major concern right now is not losing it to cold, but possible spring hail damage and that it may just revert to flower too early..dramatically shortening my plants life...or at the least slowing it down while it readjusts its systemic hormone balance. Anyway..here we go. I hope you enjoy this grow...she already smells incredibly tangy and pungent. Day 4, After an extreme cold (7Degree C) night and two days of rain and wind today truly feels like spring...She is definitely picking up today in response....whew I think that might be the last of the real cold.

@@Alchemy_Aotearoa,Hahaha, I love stories like this, from the fact that you accidentally found a technique, to the fact that the police were confused😂, very cool story. I wish you all the best.

@Ancient_Genetics, Aw thanks Nitro, this is an old school technique I learned by mistake initially. I believe it started when a storm came and completely smashed my young plants many many years ago. I gave up on them and went back home for a month to raise some more seedlings (we didn't do clones much back then) when I got in to plant my new plants the old ones had turned into bushes almost a meter high while I was away. This is where I learned about multiple branching and stress training although I didn't know what it was called back then. I would recommend this technique if you do it early in the season with a large clone or seedling you will see amazing bushes. I once got caught by police with one big plant like this and because it had multiple stems growing from out of the ground I had to fight to prove it wasn't many plants planted close together...I won eventually when I got them to reluctantly dig the stem and rootball from under the ground...when they did so they could see clearly it was one stem and one rootball. Back then even the police were impressed with that. Funny old times.
