Not much changed this week, weather has been holding steady, warm temps during the day and rain every couple of days. All 4 plants are growing quite happily!
Iโm continuing to spray 2x a week with Greencure, Organocide and soap, alternating with Monterey Bt, and Iโm watering with 2 gallons every other day. (This is definitely more work than inside ๐ฎ)
The slugs have been staying away from the plants, I put slug bait out every 3 days, but they are still everywhere else in the yard.
There have been ants around the plants on and off, but nothing major since Iโve been spraying for other bugs, but I think that has changed. I noticed major activity in WW2, so Iโve put ant traps out.
I was out 2x this week defoliating and within a few days, I couldnโt even tell! Iโm going to clean them up again next week.
The Pineapple Express has not grown much and the new growth is 3 blade leaves. Iโm concerned that I stressed her out when I moved the pot a few weeks ago, she definitely stalled out for some time. Iโm happy to see new growth, just not happy that itโs only 3 blade leaves.
Daylight hours at the beginning of the week were 14:55 and at have dropped to 14:40. Iโm hoping to see the start of terminal buds any day now!
Great Job!๐
I found when I cut the tips of the leaves off, they rooted alot quicker... stops them from trying to grow and focus on rooting.
Good luck with the outdoor!๐
@Crawlndog, Thank you ๐
Iโll definitely keep that in mind next time! I take cuttings of every plant I grow, just in case, ya know? Iโm always looking to try new things and that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for stopping by!
