Week 1 and it's starting again!
Popped 3, 1 is looking a bit poor so I will see if she catches up. If not she shall become compost 😅.
Day 5. One of my girls has been yellow from the start 🤨. Hopefully she will grow out of it and start to show her pretty shade of green soon 🤞.
Day 6. Out on the window. Overcast weather so nice easing in.
Day 8. Little yellow girl is starting to turn green! Out growing her normal starting sister.
Day 9. All good and happy. I will transplant later today.
Day 10. Mixed some light mix, seaweed, crushed seashells, compost and perlite for my transplant mix. Sprinkled some Magnesium Sulfate in the hole to help with transplant.
Day 11. Mixed 4 drops of Blackstrap molasses with 100ml water and gave it to each of them. Also added 20 live worms to each pot.
Day 12. The girls are loving life. No. 2 is doing a lot better than the others but they will catch up!
Day 13. All good, little burn on No. 3.
Day 14. All good. Especially No. 2, she has been growing 2cm a day the last 4 days.
Roll on next week....
Day 15. All looking good. Just gave some Magnesium Sulfate, Coffee grinds, Lentils and some molasses and crushed egg shells.
Day 16. All good. Growing like weeds 🤔
Day 20. Height growth slowed and starting new growth at branch sites. Will transfer #3 to her final resting spot in the next 2 days
dude, depending on what plans you have with your plant. You can top it now, yesterday or tomorrow, if you know what I mean. Usually wait for the plant to grow about 5-6 levels, then consider topping. Classically, you top above the 3rd or 4th node. From there, depends on what you want to do. There are so many and so different techniques, but it's all about what you want and what interests you have - if it's a living sculpture, or if you are after symmetry or horizontal growth or different methods of mainlining. It all depends on how long you plan to vegi as well.
Day 22. Moved #3 to her final spot outside! Will be moving #1 & #2 this week.
Day 25.
#1 is 28cm
#2 is 33cm
Day 26. #2 is dead.
I will be moving #1 in a few days
Day 51.
No. 1 is dead. Slugs got to all her new bud sites and she just has bare leaves left 😢.
No. 2 is doing well! Loving life and growing crazy fast! She is my last hope for a somewhat good harvest 🤞. Defoliated 4 more big fan leaves this week. I will remove the top 2 in about 10 days then leave her to do her thing!
Day 59. She has started to flower properly now, 1/2 ways through week 8.
Little damage from insects on leaves but nothing big to worry about.
Checked leaves under microscope, still a while to go yet.
Last of the defoliation today.
Day 64. All looking good.
Gave her some banana fertilizer and some Blackstrap molasses.
Sprayed all the foliage around her again with safe insecticide and found some aphid nests around her too and nuked them 😎.
Little defoliation of popcorn bud sites and leaves feeding into the branches and stems blocking sun from bud sites.
Water only with molasses for the next 3 weeks.
Weather is looking great for the next few weeks so looking forward to end result!
🤓
Day 68. She is starting to buff out 😍. Gave her some water with molasses.
