Well, this plant was looking pretty sick last week, growing indoor under a mere 60W of total light output for 23 weeks. We defoliated a lot, transplanted her outdoors into the earth, and tied her down so that the wind would not damage her, as she had very thin and weak branching due to growing in a cool, open room without a fan for so long.
She looks a little better now, after a week outdoors. It's still spring here, with 80-90F weather with about 16 hours of daylight, so she has a long time to go.
Last week I foliar sprayed her with a home-made LAB (lactic acid bacteria) solution to try to protect her, and drenched it into the soil as well.
This week we drenched her with a JMS (JADAM) solution we made from rice, salt, humic acid, and leaf mold soil.
Nice! I grew some grease monkey clones last year. Definitely pungent flowers. You will know. I'm growing seeds from those plants this year - not the same, but I am hopeful.
This diary is a living example that one must maintain hope until the end π. The recovery of the Monkey Grease has been amazing. Will we witness, through this diary, how our sweet "Monkey" becomes a "Monster"? Stay tuned for the next chapters πππ§‘
Hey did you have any problems with pests? I transplanted my young plants and all the leaves were eaten within 2 hours. Do you have any idea how to fight them off?
