Comfrey There's not much to report. I've watered her once and pinched off a leaf.
The scent in the garden is very pleasant. She has an enchanting aroma that stands out clearly in the overall bouquet of the garden herbs, yet blends in so well that it doesn't draw attention. I love the scent.

Comfrey Unfortunately, I had to remove some droppings from some animal on a lower flower. I suspect it was a garden snail. Or does anyone have an idea? I hope no one spread rat poison on it in the end. I'm not sure what it could be.
Otherwise, it's developing very nicely. The scent is really very pleasant.

Grow Questions
Comfreystarted grow question 1y ago
What is it?
I spottet something strange on one of a lower flower branch. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Shit from burgundy snales or mice? Rat poison on it? I took away all of the visible dirt but I‘m not sure if it‘s a good idea to use these flowers later.

That's weird, isn't it? Looks a bit like caterpillar poo. In two pics out of three, I can find leaves eaten by what looks like a caterpillar. Just shake it off, then use tweezers to remove any more. Don't let it rain on it before you clean it off... that's when I wouldn't want to smoke it. Now is fine if you remove it all. You can even dunk your branches in a large bucket of water and shake off any remaining undesirables at harvest. Then shake off excess water, hang in a fan or breeze out of direct light to dry the water off. Then dry, cure and smoke as normal. It should be fine. Good luck and well done getting your plants to this stage.

Comfrey The Elephant has stayed quite small, but its huge trunk still impresses me a lot. It will stay a bit longer, but I don't think for much longer. The smell is very pleasant. The Elephant is already very resinous and sticky in the tenth week, which will probably intensify again by week 12. I'm satisfied and looking forward to the result.

Comfrey The scent lingered a bit, and the humidity rose. The end. The grow took only 83 days from seed to harvest of the ripe buds.
Unfortunately, Auto Elephant went into flowering in the heat of over 37 degrees in the middle of the third week. I will grow her again next year and hope for a more stable and milder climate during the vegetative stage. I suspect the very nitrogen-rich charcoal compost caused her some issues. It seems to be better suited for photoperiod strains than for autoflower genetics. I will need to adjust the compost next time.
The buds are hanging to dry. I’ll check back soon with the results and in a few weeks with a vape report. This is my second Elephant lady, and I can already say: bomb! Super resinous, extremely tasty. A high like when you’re floating through the clouds sitting on an elephant, getting a glimpse of things that otherwise remained hidden. A high like back in the day the first time. ;-) 🍌😄
Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Happy Harvest Day!

Die Elephantendame hatte Outdoor in diesem nassen Sommer schwer zu schaffen. Stickstoffüberfüttert in die Hitzewelle, hat sie mit einer sehr frühen Blüte reagiert. Raupenfraß, Raupenkot in den Buds und Regenfälle zum Ende der Blüte haben ihr den Rest gegeben: Ich habe leichte Schimmelstellen im Glas entdeckt, dort wo ich den Raupenkot anscheinend nicht entfernen konnte, im Inneren der luftigen aber doch auch sehr großen Blüten. Das Glas wurde entsorgt.
Sie war nicht meine erste Auto Elephant Dame und es wird auch nicht meine letzte sein. Sie kommt wieder in den Garten aber beim nächsten Mal indoor mit kontrollierten Bedingungen und einem nicht so nährstoffreichen Kompost.
Zwei Punkte Abzug, weil es Outdoor nicht so gut funktioniert hat bei mir, wie ich es erwartet hätte.

Comfrey Unfortunately, I had to dispose of the buds due to mold. There are small spots that are only visible with a magnifying glass. The majority looks clean, but the risk isn't worth it to me, so 32 grams end up in the bin. :-/

That could be caterpillar droppings from a cabbage white butterfly. If you've removed everything visible, the clean buds might still be usable, but I would be cautious :)

@Kush_Kalle, thanks for your tip. We have a lot of cabbage and many cabbage whites in the vegetable garden. Now that you've mentioned it, I remember that type of droppings always lying around on the cabbage leaves.

I don't understand, I'm sure I've written something here before about how it's a shame because of the good weed that you had to dispose of. The notification that you've given a like often disappears too. Sometimes I feel like the admins do little rollbacks very often, and as a result, comments etc. disappear.

@Comfrey, did everything go well after you removed the Kaka/Poppel? Hope there were no effects besides the munching marks. *Fingerscrossed*

There’s the worm in it! Just yesterday I watched a nice documentary on 3Sat about soil or Living Soil, it looked great. What do you use for mulching? I treated myself to some at the beginning of the season, but the grain size of the mulch is quite coarse.

@Kushycat, there are more organisms in a handful of compost than there are people on Earth. Fungi and microbes rule the world. 🤫🤭😅
Your mulch is okay and doesn't really feed the soil life adequately, but if you gather the material as diversely as possible and steam it in the oven at 150 degrees for half an hour (nasty little critters in the tent…), then everyone has something to eat in your living soil. If you're growing outdoors, steaming is unnecessary.

@Kushycat, all kinds of freshly cut herbs like mint, lavender, marshmallow, etc. Shredded bark (oak, birch), enough brown material, small branch breakage/chips, leaves, bio straw,…
