Purple Haze

this week is cloudy with plenty of showers. had to change location to provide overhead cover in order to keep the rain away humidy is just right for now soil mix is good and provides good flow during heavy showers. accidently let the rain pour on these ladies for over 20 minutes. soil was able to drain easily but i will have to replenish some organic nutrients soon. feeding humic and fulvic acids early on

rain water all week compost delivering steady nutrients had one day heavy rain but soil drained easily. air pots helped a lot. located near night lights. low level light noise seems to be OK for now.

heavy rain last night and the ladies were lying flat down, but they bounced back when the sun came to the rescue. pretty sure that stress will make them stronger.

neem oil keeps the pests away compost is strong especially after heavy rains last week did not have to manually add water since two weeks ago. good to have rain water

one plant needs more neem oil. seeing some spider mites trying to make their home. will keep spraying neem oil today and tomorrow on this and surrounding plants.

still using neem oil to control pests every other day. looking for spider mites but can not find the source. will probably take it to the next level and isolate plants in a grow tent. will see next week.

heavy rains caused problems this week. need more sunlight to dry out the soil. phosphorus issues problem with spider mites under control at least for now. using neem oil did little to stop the spider mites. sprayed some real pesticides on the bottom of each leaf. found the spider mites home living in a nearby plant and destroyed them. will see what happens next week. will have more pictures next time.

air pots helped to dry the soil from last week heavy rains. 2 out of 5 plants are slow to dry. 2 plants still need more time to dry and will give them more food later. watered only 1 liter with nutrients to those 2 plants. the three remaining plants received 3 liters with nutrients. added some Potassium silicate to resist pests and hope to produce more flowers - will continue to add more in low dosage during next few weeks.

no more pests minor potassium and cal mag deficiency in a couple plants checked soil pH and looks good between 6 and 7. the plants with deficiencies are a little above 7.0 pH.

raining all week and cloudy days are about to pass. been like this for about 3 weeks. as soon as the sun comes out, my ladies are happy. hope to get more sun. some plants are a little behind in production. the lead plant will need about 3 weeks before deciding to flush.

lower humidity with no signs of spider mites is a plus. getting more sun now and showing good signs of blooming. hope to see more sun this week. still a little cal mag deficiencies in some plants but overall in good shape

spider mites again - these guys will never go away urgggg

seems like the spider mites situation is under control. have not seen any in the past week. aroma is nice and neighbors are savoring for a sample. outdoor yield looks better than indoors for sure. will try the greenhouse method in the next outdoor grow.

ladies are super hungry! had to feed twice this week since the sun is out in full force. still no signs of spider mites. checking daily with microscope. neighbors are loving the aroma.

After some rain during the evenings, was worried a little about high humidity at night and mold. Looks like these ladies are able to resist mold. Only if there was less of an issue with pests (spider mites) from previous weeks, I believe that this strain is perfect for outdoor growing in Thailand. Had to flush once mid week because of too much cal mag. Seeing nute deficiencies even though they are getting fed a lot. Two out of the five are about to get flushed before harvesting. The remaining three will need more time to catch up. Temperature is decreasing and I hope this will help to produce higher yields. Will see...
