@Mrs_Larimar, it wasn't that bad after all, overcast and lots of wind 🙄 Sweden is like the complete opposite of Oz But for sure not less beautiful 😍 Are you Swedish or living in Sweden?

@Shooey, haha, should let the misses read this, maybe she would finally underst...... No, not gonna happen 🤣🤣 You have my bloody interest now, that's for sure 👍 What % of cover and colour you planning on taking for the shade cloth? Good on ya mate! ✌️

Shooeycommented4 years ago

@Smartie, i may have got a bit carried away!!! I ordered an outdoor wedding marquee from e bay and am chatting to a company that will custom cut the shadecloth with eyelets. You know when you have these bright ideas and before you know it you have ordered and paid for all this shit!! Thats me,, put it down to the amnesia haze 🤣 hope it fits in the garden!!

Thanks @Shooey 👍 As I mentioned before it needs more than a few adjustments to be perfect. It sure looks good but at 1,8m height and only 1m depth it doesn't provide enough shade where/when I want it. Also the sun is not traveling in an exact arc above the plants so that makes it even more challenging. I probably look to have roughly 0.5m adjustable shade cloth on the left side and the front that is attached to the top and that can be rolled down as needed 😉 So yeah, my advice would be to have a big enough surface in relation to your plants if you only cover the roof with shade cloth 👍 Interested to see yours, good luck with it ✌️

Chitosan from crab meal goes a long way with promoting roots and keeps away bugs. 👍👍👍 good stuff. In my weather, 1/3 peat moss would be too wet.

Hi @Smartie, fish also has amino and calcium. The combination accelerates things. I like it because these are organic. Happy growing

Smartiecommented4 years ago

@Med_in_Tropic, Pleased to see this post, spot on sir 👍 The chitosan is probably the main reason people use it, other than that it's mostly just a nitrogen source I thought. For this reason the guys from OGS said to use more Fin 'N' Feather for the nitrogen and their watering supplement which contains chitosan 😉 I updated the recipe with some more details on the Hydro Frass, check it out ✌️

@Smartie, 👆 this made me chortle totally get it 🚀

Smartiecommented4 years ago

@CRiSPrGrow, Sure, thanks a lot 👍 I gave it a bit more thought and, besides the fact that it's perfectly possible to prune roots, I'm not in a ideal situation to do it: round pots (there's a reason bonsai are in square/shallow pots 😉) and limited organic soil.. I literally had this brainfart 10min before posting 😂 Thanks again, feel free to follow my Outdoor diaries, should be fun 😁✌️

@Mrs_Larimar, Yeah I know, I reckon I still have 12 odd weeks of veg until flowering (= stretch) 😲🙄 Thanks, you're not too badly organised yourself 😉👍

northernMikecommentedweek 94 years ago

Nicely done👌 The weather looks great😎 We have about 3-5cm. of snow already, don't like it but not much you can do about it😵 The little kids coming for halloween looked funny, all bundled up plus a costume, they could hardly walk😂 Grow Big!!

@Shooey, Cheers bro, first time I smelled it it instantly reminded me of horse stables, I reckon that's what they feed them but don't quote me on that 😉 Happy that at least it looks good, other than that it's going to be a pain in the d*&k I guess 😂 watering is challenging (don't like that stuff too much on my babies), topdressing is going to be fun and ofcourse the LST will only make things more complicated 🤣 Ofcourse I don't doubt the results so I will have to figure it out, one way or another 👍 Cheers

It’s a good looking bunch smartie! Best of luck for the season mate. I made the same mistake last year. Planted on Father’s Day!! Both plants bolted at 5 weeks, but as it turned out it was great! I brought them inside each night and got an early harvest!! My mistake after that was trying to nurse seedlings through mid summer, it was brutally hot and they struggled, so this year I started even earlier for the early harvest and hope to have another run in late October. 🙂🍻

@Shooey, Thank you sir 👍 I almost considered to let this bunch flower early as well because I like the idea of 2 grows a year.. Thanks to you for putting that in my head 😂

I enjoyed reading all the mumbo jumbo you're using first week. Scientific cheat codes are fun. So are you just using ambient light to grow these?

DoDrugs420commentedweek 123 years ago

Holy, that's some serious Blueberry Cookies!
