Well.... she was getting to tall. Hi loved the whole green house around to accommodate the sun and this giant plant/tree!
I asked for help and many of you recommended tying her down. I got her in a place where I could do this effectively and still be able to move around my plants.
Well I started on the outter limbs and lightly tied them back and down for optimal sunshine. And to keep them from touching the roof of the greenhouse. Well as I slightly (I mean so gently) pulled the main center two stems (I had topped twice so there are 2 main colas) I snapped the center stem right down the middle. Ouch. I taped with plant tape and then covered that with duct tape. She seems to be fine. And still flowering nicely. But I can’t believe I did that. Ugh.
At that point I stopped tying her down because I was so upset and thought I’d killed her. But it’s been about 5 days and she is thriving so I think it’s ok?
Defoliating as many of the lower leaves are yellowing deeply. She is quite a lollipop.
But at least she almost not touching the roof any more.
Flowering nicely. Calling this first week of flower even though she started showing about 10days age. We are well into bidding process and I can see them all forming.
Smell is still weak. Or my nose is getting more used to the smell. As everyone who comes anywhere near my house and greenhouse tell me it smells strong. But I do have one harvestable blueberry I need to work on today. So it might be her. Once I get her out of there today I’ll know but when I smell the flowers on the queen she is still weak.
I doubt that will last long 😂
Going to water well and feed more tiger bloom today too!
See you next week.
No pest infestation. These are outdoors so some pest attacks can’t be avoided. But nothing on them on daily inspection. Some of the upper leaves show the same browning here and there. It’s Curious.
Looks like some pest dmg and then possibly just a lower hanging old leaf dying off as the plant self prunes. I'd be more worried with the pest holes. 🤟
So my girl here is 10feet tall. She just started showing signs of flower. I’m assuming photos have a flower stretch period? What the heck am I supposed to do? Ahhhhh oh no. Help
