This was a tuff week. We had a very powerful thunderstorm roll through here on the evening of September 21st. All this while I'm off working. My wife was away that evening and came back the next morning to a lot of plants blown over. Our #3 wch had one of its large main branches broke over. Surprisingly it wasn't from the wind directly, but from our 11' AR-15 landrace cross. That plant is 11' tall im a 7 gallon pot. When she blew over she broke several plants branches including wch3. The #2 and #3 plants had their heavily laden branches bowed down. I chose to remove these from the outdoor contest. The number one reason is that it was just more than 1 stay at home mom can handle. These plants were very productive. We didn't have any issues with boytritis just powdery mildew. I'm going to finish the diary but we missed video for the week and chose to keep only the two gorilla Melon plants in the contest as managing the harvest week etc with just two plants is much more manageable for my beautiful wife.
@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. ๐
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.
