@Grey_Wolf, I've found a few wild plants and one wild patch if you will. I see them growing all over the place but for the most part I've only ever came across one that actually had smokable buds.
Excuse me for saying this, but I feel you’ve wasted so much time. You could have a literal tree by now if you did things differently and by that I mean...
Why mess around with sub par soil/compost at a seedling stage.
If you use a potting mix you would have a plant double that size in half the time. Then when you’re ready to plant it in the ground the roots would be so establish they can move boulders out of the way.
More roots, more fruits...
Or Big roots, Big Fruits
Both apply.
I’ve tried the whole micro grow situation and when you have little room to use ever 1mm counts, count yourself lucky and start growing trees 😂
When you planted in the ground did you amend with EWC, Kelp meal, bone meal, fish blood, chicken manure, Dolomite lime, bar guano any of these?
@Mr_Growgreen, where in Durban are you based? I’ll be in the area around June and can bring you some Live Soil Bacteria which will enhance the health of your soil. Maybe a couple pips as well to trial run for next season.
@Mr_Growgreen, we are in Wilderness down in the Western Cape. If you can find someone with comfrey growing you can cut off chunks of the root and plant it, they will grow. It’s very hardy. Get some going all over your land. Another thing you can do is sprinkle ash around the base of your plants and water in the potassium.
Oh baby is that a beautiful site. I love outdoor grows. Great work. Ladies looking lovely. Keep it up. Best of luck with the rest of the journey growmie.
@Denzul, thanks bud, I so much prefer actually being in my outdoor garden as apposed to my tent, plants can tell too, don't give my indoor girls enough attention!
What I would suggest now is to stop with the high nitrogen seagrow and move to blooming nutrients high in potassium and phosphorus. Summer equinox was 21 December so days are shortening. You want to encourage flowering. If you can get Comfrey leaves half fill a 50L drum with leaves and fill with water. Leave for a few days in the sun stirring each day. You will get a stinky tea that Ganja flowers go mad for. Mix this tea 1/3 to water for every watering leaving the bulk of tea to carry on brewing.mane sure to keep the lid closed otherwise flies will go mad. If you measure ppm you could go half comfrey Tea to water making sure not to exceed 900ppm. A bone Meal trick is to put half a cup into 5l water and leave for a day or 2 stirring now and then. This will extract the phosphorus much faster into liquid form for your plants. Strain the water and use. Keep topping up fresh bone Meal for next watering. Couple this with comfrey tea and your buds should be dense and sticky genetics dependent always.
@HappySeedsResearch, thanks for the advice. I was actually just wondering about doing a bone meal soak, even just to make it easier to apply. Doing top dressings with all the mulch and cages is becoming a challenge. Finding all the nutes I have access too are very nitrogen dominated. Now to find some comfrey plants!
Wow man you are a master.. I been starting too with organic way.. I made may firt compost an compost tea.. I'm excited to learn and looking you for sure I will learn thanks for your post
