The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50Β° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil.
Day 1 we had high temperature of 87Β°F with partly cloudy to cloudy skies. I watered 3-4 gallons from the hose. I added 100 ml of blood meal spread evenly across the top of the soil.
Day 2 We had a high temperature of 85Β°F. It rained the previous night and intermittently raining and thunderstorms today. I did get these trained a little this morning. It's not finished, but I took some foliage off and opened them up by tying the branches to stakes arranged on the outside of the pots. I finished topping off these pots with soil that is premixed with nutrients. The rain is watering today.
Day 3 we had a high temperature of 73Β°F and all day rain. The rain was what remained of hurricane Beryl. There was a lot of wind up to 20 miles per hour. These girls handled it and loved the rain.
Day 4 we had clear sunny skies and a high temperature of 85Β°F. I fed 150 ml feather meal , 30 ml Plant Tone, and 50 ml Coop Poop. I watered 3-5 gallons from the water hose.
Day 5 we had a high temperature of 86Β°F and partly cloudy skies. Plants #2and #3 developed powdery mildew on their lower leaves. I'm going to treat for the next 5 days with Arber organic biofungicide. I ran the fertilizer a little hot the girls are clawing and super dark green this evening
Day 6 we had a high temperature of 85 with partly cloudy skies.
Day 7 we had a high temperature of 86Β°F. This morning we had plenty of rain and wind. No need for watering. The skies were mostly cloudy to partly cloudy in the evening.
This week was a success. We had lots of rain, cool nights and humidity. This caused the #2 and #3 plant to develop powdery mildew. This is the challenge here on the Ozark Plateau. We are strictly organic. We use no systemic fungicides and the only pesticide we use is occasionally is organic pyrethrin spray. That said, now that we've identified the plants that don't have immunity, we'll treat with Arber bio fungicide. This treatment will last 5 days then they have to make it with what they were born with. Also the nutrients ran a little hot on them. That and the several hours of rain depriving them of iron has their centers looking rough. They'll be better next week.
@Aedaone, it has a very unique flavor, kinda hard to describe it. I grew a couple of the autos and one of the photos and the flavor was consistant. And nice effects too. π
Looking real good..I like ur X page..good luck with the New PP from fb also. Gonna get de 5 Wen they message me
Have this WC FF in pre flower bout a wk. Great grower really tight inters..
Great looking grow. I'm growing one in a 20 gallon bag that has a thick stalk and is currently approaching approximately 8 feet. Unfortunately I had an issue with powdery mildew on the lower leaves at the end of July, which is very early and I rarely had with an outside photo and never that early. I thought it might be a weakness of the species. I see form your grow its probably just me.
@Oklahoma_Old_Turd, Thanks!! I had a bubblegum sherbet split where it was topped last year. I waited to long support the main branches above the split. Now I add one bamboo to connect to the main branches directly above the topping node. As they begin to add flower I'll ring the pots with hemp twine about 3' up. That has so far been enough support even in high winds.
@Jsanz52, yes I started these about as early as possible outdoors. Last year my FF began flower around the 4th week of July. Everything was a little earlier this year because they were older and bigger.
