This week was good. I pushed the girls back down under the net. They pushed back up.
I fed them tap water since they needed a lot from the summer heat starting.
The weather is starting to turn more favorable.
I also tried to fix the calendar because these girls have been with me 4 a while (since feb 8) (sorry we r slow)
I put out more slug and snail poison.
After spraying the nematodes bug activity has really died down. I hope the young mantis babies have bugs to eat.
I have a question, and it seems dumb
But: Am i using the net correctly?
My girls are just poking through.
Im tring to keep them under the light.
Should i snap em to keep them under the net ?
(their stems are like celery sticks)
Or will they eventually get themselves stuck
The net is kind of pointless outdoors, since the sun is equally strong from top to bottom of the plant. Anyway, you are supposed to weave the stems, keeping the growth horizontal, so all bud sites are at the same height; I guess you could try some super cropping, but i'm not sure if the stems are pliabke enough at net level, you could break the stem
Great looking plants. I was using same greenhouse but they got too tall as well. I took mine off never thought to cut some vents. Good luck with flower!

Those are going to grow huge :)
I hope you didn’t put them to close to eachother! Nice setup you can always LS train them so they grow to the spots you want them to grow.
