First Outdoor Grow with Durban Poison, Frisian Dew & Shaman

2024.07.14 The week was very changeable with heavy rain, sun and lots of wind. The ladies coped well and continued to grow. To avoid having to use liquid fertiliser all the time, I applied a top layer consisting of worm compost, compost, malted barley, horn meal and pelleted cattle manure to all the potted plants. The malted barley is supposed to bring enzymes and minerals into the soil, which will also be important for later flowering. The top layer is approx. 3-4 cm thick. They have been very, very thirsty in hot weather. Perhaps the new top layer will hold a little more water. Of course, the plants in the garden soil need much less water than those in the pots. The growth is phenomenal, the Durban Poison is also growing very well. The Frisain Dew and Shaman continue to hold their own in the garden soil when snails are collected daily... The side branches now seem to be leaning a little further down, making them wider, so they may need to be spaced a little further apart.
