Hot and dry all week, boy the forest fires are bad in BC this year, knock on wood no major fires on Vancouver Island, no smoke either. Smooth sailing, stretch is slowing, budlets forming nice for sure week 2+ so looking like a Sept finish for sure.
Quiet week as I was busy enjoying summer, nothing but drip 45min a day, 2.5hr once a week, diablo maxx, Silica and a weekly spray of LCPT.
Had a MASSIVE mushroom at the base of the Hugel, which means the fungal network under there is for sure in overdrive. This time of year it's so hot and dry it's hard to keep the outside of the hugel most being a big hill, but obviously there's epic moisture deep inside it.
Compost tea this week, looks great, super simple, 6cups compost, 4tbsp molasses, 4tbsp Epsom, 50ml kelp, little bit of coir, aerate 24hrs and use immediately.
Probably toss on trellis net next week and zip tie her to the frame, next week another top dress, and then the final push!
Most of the harvest will go to the freezer fresh, maybe wash, hang dry and cure an LB for flower rosin and edibles, then I'll make bubble hash when it cools down over Christmas.
