I’m a couple weeks late in starting my journal but here we are. First let me thank WeedSeedExpress for giving me the chance to grow some of their seeds for them. I have 11 plants again this year but to be less stress on myself, I’m gonna focus only on my sponsored seeds. So I’ve upped my soil game this year and will be growing in Fox Farms/Ocean Forest/Perlite soil (60%/30%/10% roughly) have some extra bags of each to add later when the roots start to really show on top of the soil. Hoping tomorrow might be the day I can toss her outside into her final pot, but worry about my dogs being assholes and ripping everyone out (they’ve already torn out a grape plant) So wish me luck and here’s hoping the dogs allow them to grow. I know a lot of copy and paste but everyone is pretty much the same. More details for each once we really start growing Ok I did what I said and got her outside (May 29th)

Sorry on little updates as I was away this week. As you can see, she had a bit of growth spurt. Finally got us some warmth, humidity and even a T-Storm for good measure. Hoping she continues strong, but is probably a bit longe before I can top her.

Fat Bastard seems to be liking it outside with the warmer weather but a bit smaller in comparison to Sleepy Joe I’m growing. Cages on because of potential hail storms tomorrow and because I still have dogs. Good really hot, hazy and humid days coming in for a good stretch. Hoping to see her just take off and be ready for a topping come Saturday with her sister.

So we are midway into this heat dome and boy are we hot and humid, but she seems to like it. My mom waters the other plants we are growing in our yard every other day with this heat, and so she is kind enough to water her as well. So hoping more of this weather for her to grow, but sad for my dogs who can’t handle the heat for a walk.

It has taken its dear time, but looks like the bastard finally woke. Stock it still skinny but noticing it finally beef up a bit, with some noticeable new growth. I’m hoping to have it topped by Saturday/end of this grow week

First, don’t take any of this weeks measurements to heart. The site keeps changing everything on me, and I’ve tried 3 times already but reverts back to something else completely. Still can’t figure out why this gal just won’t branch out. They are small little nubs and she gets a generous amount of sun in the spot they’re in. I remove the bottom grow line because it barely budged and hoping that allows everyone else to hopefully finally take off

Finally branching out but man are some of them first leaves monster in size in comparison to others. Beryl remnants passing through today. Some big loud downpours this morning before sunrise, but all seems good so far. Again some of the branching happening are nothing but huge webbed duck feet like leaves. So it should be fun to see if things explode in growth once Beryl leaves us and hot humid sunny weather returns

I came this close to losing EVERYTHING outside today(Monday) We have had storm after storm today and have dropped easily 3-4 inches in rain, and terrible winds during these storms. Thank god I use these rubber cans or I could been screwed that way as well. The plants have taken a beating and thankfully they have survived . . . so far. Finally clear enough for new pictures. Needed a pump to drain our yard but it’s finally done. Although I gotta say there were tons of dead bloated worms left behind and my plants look green and healthy. Probably the best herbal tea they could of had

Looks like we are getting so good growth going on now. I don’t know if it was the rain or the compost tea that it made in the yard. You know they only sat in that for like 3 days

Wow!wow!wow! On the stretch that keeps on going outside and the pistils are really starting to show. Gal was real thirsty yesterday and so last night I gave her a big drink of water. Reason for more of the Wow! reaction on the stretch for this morning. Now we to deal with remnants again of Berry tomorrow. So hopefully we won’t have a repeat of the last giant rain storm, well no tree to fall down this time. Oh look, real measurements

Just looking wonderful and a slight skunky smell is coming in as well (sorry neighbours) I think a new measurement will be need to be done as she looks like she grew just a little since last time. Gave her a good drink tonight and added some high phosphorus dried bat guano as a top dressing with tonight’s watering. So maybe she’ll grow a little more tonight, but her buds are already well ahead of anything else in the yard.

Looking a little in need of a watering, which will be done tomorrow morning. So I’ve added more bat guano and Epsom salt to the top of the soil tonight, and will be watered in tomorrow. She’s getting thick and I really wonder in I’ll have my first September outdoor ready harvest Spotted some wpm spots on a few fan leaves. So I went plucking after tonight’s picture was taken. Smells almost fruity with hints of black licorice in there too

Sorry took a week off with a recent change in jobs. She is smelling strong and my apologize to the neighbours. She has a really strong skunky like smell at a distance but real sweat and fruity when you get up close. As you can see, she fattening/stacking nicely and looking frosty Little wpm showing, and gave her a spray down tonight.
