Week 7. Fruit is coming along nicely. It’s not gonna be a big one due to the forced flowering, but it has had a good fill out in the last 2 weeks and appears to be on track to give me a nice early harvest. I am really happy with the staggered grow this year. Apart from 2 dud seeds early, everything has gone to plan. Wouldn’t mind this one a bit bigger, but you never know. Buds are happening on cue. It looks like it will be about a 12 week finish so about 5ish to go. After that, the idea is for the scrog basket to go on my jack and then flower him out as well with covering nightly. Shortly the main grows will be put out for the full season grow and hoping to beat my PB this time around. But for now, this one is one track to deliver a jar full, and just in the nick of time too,,, 🍻
Ooow yes 😲😎
That looks good hey! Plant and shade house!
Much better than my box, at least that this is arched. I can mock around doing the sides to get that arched shape 😂
I see now why you think my joint is away from prying eyes too lol
Well done mate 👍
Hell yeah boy!! 👍😎 What happened with shake and mix diluted leachate and castings?? 😁😂 Glad you looked into it, any noticeable differences after 24h brewing/before use vs before?? Very nice job on the LST structure, well done sir! 👍
@Shooey, if it was already booming with the leachate (or did you mean the aerated tea?) regardless you are in for a treat my friend 👍 Looking forward to seeing the results!! Good man ✌️
@Smartie, thanks mate. Yeah after you mentioned the leachate I looked into it. It seems to have its place but you want to be careful with it. The bottle I got from a relative seemed to help but when I opened it the other day it reeked badly. I knew immediately not to use it anymore. I found a good podcast called grow from the heart, these guys from Colorado talk about growing. They get a bit carried away but the organic and outdoor episodes had so much info. They keep coming back to worm castings and how they really stand alone against any bottled formulas. It has really boomed, to the point where I wonder if the tea was a bit “hot” because of all the bright green bursting from the new areas. Will keep learning and adjusting quantities to find my sweet spot.
Also on the LST,, it’s a $5 laundry basket from Kmart! I just cut the prongs open on the bottom and fold out. These spike into the soil and hold it in place. It’s so handy mate,,. This plant might not reach the scrog wire at the top, but it helps support and spread em out.
Cheers Smartie! 🍻
