Overcast and cool lately the Humboldt Afghani is loving it. Relatively mild but we are in the desert after all I am just thankful we aren't midsummer cookin' we could be averaging 5 degrees hotter days already the 10-day reports rain and mild temperatures throughout this week aswell. Her leaves were so large and heavy she could barely lift them up so they did take some damage and have some battle scars. Just goes to show the resiliency of the strain she seems absolutely undeterred by it and has finally grown-into her floppy ears. I'll try to leave them on they are plump leaves and great for energy. I would like to see how massive they become. Rain is hit and miss and it doesn't often hit here. So I simulated a rainshower with a lawn sprinkler after having them dry out from the water I had given them during transplant into these new firerings. This pile of compost they sit on top of mainly consists of grass clippings and potash and is very hot. Weeds refuse to start inside of it and will only grow on the edge but they grow very quickly so It will be interesting to see what will happen when these girls dip their roots into the potent nutrients.
As always thanks for coming and checking us out and taking an interest into the growth of my plant as well as my hobby. Best of luck on your grows and see you next time. Come back throughout the week as I try to up date the pictures every few days and update the text on any changes.
@NegotiatedBubble, I'm not sure what the 'on paper' true lineage is regarding the filial line of the strain. I've been doing some unconventional shaping and training which might have attributed to its unique shape. She really wants to put on big branches towards the afternoon sun as well. She gets to grow next to a pretty symmetrically shaped Blackberry Kush plant so she is certainly my ugly duck. This specific seed was on the smaller side as well so it might just be a little goofy too lol - I wish I knew more about Filial lines and traits. Thanks for coming and sharing about this lovely lady and taking an interest in the grow.
I grew the Twenty20 Afghani this year & had the same general observations. Itβs got the old world qualities I like and is pretty darn bomb proof. I harvested a bit on the early side due to back to back storms but probably could have left them in a bit longer without damage.
You definitely did a great job of stewardship with your plants congratulations π
