D50.
It's been two weeks since my last visit so it was time for another bike ride.
Just like last time I prepared some goodies to bring with me. I was recently given a compost tea sample pack from Lurpe. The mix contains Alfalfa, Nettle, Kelp, Horsetail, Azomite®️, Diatomaceous Earth, Humic and Fulvic Acids, Sugar, Epsom Salt, Yeast, Rhizobacteria, Mycorrhizal Fungus and Trichoderma spp. This particular mix is meant for veg but I thought I'd use it now in flower anyway. I brewed the tea mix overnight in water together with worm castings and molasses.
I also blitzed up the sprouted seeds I had started last week. They had sprouted a bit too well so next time I need to time it better, but the sprouts should still have enough growth hormones and enzymes to do their job
Finally, I added some kelp powder, apple FFJ that I made last year, and Bokashi Juice straight from the bucket.
Coming out to the spot, there was good news and bad news. The good news is that the banana girl looks great. Praying toward the sun and she looks healthy and vibrant. There are white sploshes on a few leaves but upon inspection it looks like dried compost tea from last time.
The bad news is that the cheese girl has died. No idea why, although she didn't look great last time I saw her. There were two other seeds from this pack that failed last year so maybe this pack is cursed? I have two more BCA seeds in that pack so I'll have another go sometime in the future.
In any case, onward and upwards. I'll now continue this diary as a single-strain diary.

@love_2_grow, I'm really not supposed to be outside either. Inside i can grow. I don't have a lot of houses around me, so I can get away with some. I try to keep them short. I grew a Bruce Banner last year outside, it was less than 4 feet tall and 4 wide. She was a lot of fun to grow. Well good luck
