2020 Summer Outdoor

8/8/20- Everything is at 14 days of flowering besides the Double Black which is 21 days. Plant maintenance has been pretty low at this point. Mostly just resetting the pins for the LST and taking the inner leaves to allow for airflow. I can see that ventilation on a few are going to be tough. The Dos-Si, THC Bomb and 11 Roses will take some additional work. They were very lush and rebuild fast from prior pruning. Weather has not been as detrimental. We've had several days of good rain that allowed for a soaking of the ground soil. Unfortunately that did come with a drop in day time temps from the 90s down to high 70s and mid-50s at night with humidity in the 60-100% range. We should experience a return to higher temps shortly. Bugs have not been a huge issue. Slugs are few and far in between and the aphids, grass hoppers and silk warms have also been easy to clear. Birds have also been slamming on the bugs preparing for migrations. Gelato A2 was unfortunately trampled on by some deer. During my spot picking I knew that there was a common bed down spot further up the way of water. Thought I would be ok but everything is on the move right now preparing for winter. Lost 2 good branches and some minors. The plant recovered well but I am sad at the loss. I have removed any nitrogen based veg promoting fertilizer and added in Earth Juice Bloom(15 ml/gal) and Bud Candy(8-10 ml/gal) to the line up. I added the earth juice because it contains organic components my synthetic does not. Bud Candy was a recommendation from people who moved locally from large scale operations out west. They also said that yes molasses does the trick as well but tends ITHO to build up too much and alter cured taste. Again this is only an opinion. I will try the Bud Candy first and probably run Blackstrap next year and see for myself. Any questions just ask! Peace, Love and Hugs!!! May She always shine on your garden!
