NE Ohio bred Backyard 2026

Big_Peeps1 Looking nice in their final pots! 60/40 Tilth Bloom / FoxFarm Happy Frog soil mix. New growth tucked up and in, keeping an eye out for issues--don't see any bugs.

Big_Peeps1 Deploying Crop Defender 3 onto the girls at dawn because I think pests are getting to them. I don't think pH is out of whack in this living soil despite container size. Top dressed each with about a cup of Fox Farm Happy Frog All Purpose 6-4-5 and watered in some Great White mycorrhizae and bacteria.

Big_Peeps1 New growth seems happier so I think we've got a hold of the issues. Now that we're healthy we can start growing for real! Squish and bent the tops on each to get the auxins flowing. Roots should be nice and happy. Starting to boost soil with more Great White, Myco Chum, Mineralize trace minerals, splashes of FoxFarm Big Bloom, and kelp extract.

Big_Peeps1 Warmer days ahead means good growth every day. Pests seem to be at bay and haven't missed too many waterings. Another top dressing, about 1.5 cups. Still occasionally watering in Great White, Myco Chum, Mineralize trace minerals, splashes of FoxFarm Big Bloom, and kelp extract.

Big_Peeps1 Growing nicely! Days are starting to get ever so shorter, I can notice some pre-flowering structure coming on. Overall I am enjoying how these have been progressing in my backyard. The space is fairly small and skinny with tall fences and tight houses next door, so the sun is not always present and direct. We'll see if they stack up (as much as you want them to growing outside ha)
