Clone shots. I noticed two branches on different plants that are starting to turn down and droop a little from becoming heavy. Both are bottom branches. They just randomly both turned today. Hopefully i don’t see this more as we get closer to our full moon cycle Saturday. I know heavy buds are good but I also heard that a droopy plant isn’t healthy. Luckily there are only two branches doing it rn I’ve been watering them like a son of a gun, I’m surprised my leaves are not droopin. This year I have been good about not letting my pots dry out completely. I just don’t want my colony of bacteria that I’ve helped build up get fried by the sun.

Here are two other orange creamsickle seeders

Spent 30 min calibrating my ph meters. I’ll feel better about taking my ph measurements later. I bought the yellow one on Amazon, cheap option ( doesn’t even have a brand name). When I first started to grow I found the red one while hiking with my dog at one of my favorite places to hike with him. It’s called little Yosemite, Sunol ca, and it’s honestly just like a little Yosemite, CA. We escape hot days along the cool shaded creek here. Follow my dogs Instagram account @greatnessbud, and my grow account is @EORGANIC_Genetics

Here are two of the seeders. I’ve began a numbering system since I plan on jarring all of them separate. I also started to use the two ph meters I’ve had and never used. I also still haven’t had to use ph down or up. I have been watering my 5.5 tea brews down by 3/4 by adding fresh water . It makes my tea last longer so far so great

To battle the heat this year I’ve been cooling down my mediums with water ( only molasses water and tea water. I haven’t used plain water since flowering began.) I haven’t had one dry day during flower yet. The average high temp for them has been around 80f. P.S. My cats are digging the shade that the plants cast, check out the shadows of the cola’s! And when my 96y old grandma came over the other day she seen the plants from the back window then says “ looks like you don’t need to buy a Christmas tree this year” . I’m almost positive she knows what they are😅😂

Shots of the seeded ones. Smells are becoming more and more prominent as buds increase in size. I’m proud of my garden so far, everything is healthy including myself. Each pic is a different plant

Shots of the clones. I found 2 caterpillars this morning which means I’m going to spray my one dosing of thuricide today hopefully. I usually spray when I first notice them. Thuricide is an organic caterpillar killer. Sprayed at this early during the flowering stage shouldn’t effect the smoking quality. Cheers to the first day of a new week🍻 Update: sprayed thuricide on each plant

Shots of the ones from seed. Smells are becoming more prominent throughout the garden. Instead of counting up I’m counting down until early- mid October. Halloweed🎃

This is 36 hr brewed tea. I used less of the ingredients in my tea this time but changed a few things such as putting a small hose on the secondary pump at the bottom to create more agitation as well as how I tied the tea bag down. Instead of letting it rest on the side I made it so the tea bag stayed in the middle. The pics are all of the clones again. I’ve been watering heavy trying to keep em moist

Flower shots of the seeded ones. these are all the same strain. A couple of them are blinging more then the others even though they all have been treated the same. Hopefully the runts catch up

I found out that brewing compost tea with a pillow case may work better then just dumping everything in . I received the top foam on this batch earlier then I ever had. This is 24 hrs, I plan on feeding my plants this tomorrow. Im hoping the pillowcase keeps most of the bigger particles out while I also put a polyester fabric around the inlet of my pump as a secondary filtration to protect the drip systems flow

FLOWERING CLONES SHOTS. I saved the best one for the last pic😅 It might be one of the sativa dominant hybrid clones or something I’ve done to it. I’ve been tending the rabbits with these girls and for the most part I haven’t dealt with any snapped necks 🤣 mice and men is a great book

I had to move the clones and a seeded one so that the lawn could get mowed. I still have to lollipop 3 or 4 of these. But here’s some pics with a chair thrown in their for size comparison. I also took a pic of the roots coming out the bottom.

Got my drip system installed 90%. Thursday I plan on testing it at 100%. I have the compost tea brewing. I ran an airline from the turtle tank around the metal shed so I could run a remote bubbler. I never imagined having a drip system but here I go. It’s actually very affordable doing it myself.

Finished pruning the seeders for now. I started to prune a clone. Flowering is here 🌸🌸

2 years ago

Did some major pruning on 3 seedlings. I cut off a lot of potential bud sites towards the bottom to promote growth to the tops. I essentially “ lollipop’ed” my plants. I also got a new flowering fert. I believe I should’ve started to prune my plants at least 2 weeks ago maybe. So maybe I have to remember that for the end of July next year.

2 years ago

Definitely starting flower on most of them. I decided to take some aerial shots with the drone opposed to taking close ups of F1. You could see the two different sets of plants that I have receive two different times of direct light. I’m excited to compare and contrast between the two later

2 years ago

My plants are looking like they have Initiated flowering. I could be wrong though, I was anticipating at least 20 more days of veg. Check em out and I’d be happy to hear what you think. I’m also interested to hear from any California outdoor growers so I could possibly compare and contrast between other grows of the same area. Happy Saturday!

Bought some more of the fertilizer I used the first time I used top dressing the plants. I’m happy with the progress so far

I just finished tying down another one. I have a before pic listed here ( pic#5).

I began to retie 2 of the seeders today. I’m loving the progress of this LST, It blows my mind that some branches are literally longer then it’s main stem. When i harvest I’ll try to leave the branches connected on a few so I could photograph the skeleton of a couple of the plants. The stems of the tops have this nice green new growth color, plus the branches are noticeable stronger already compared to the plants in my garden last year. So hopefully I don’t have any droopy plants but if buds become that fat then so be it. I watered with that tea today, it smelt like someone’s breath that never heard of floss. I had to take a shower after I watered. I’m loving every minute of life and trying to make the most of it as it flies by. I spotted two bugs getting it on while taking pics, and my cat Enkidu who wonders why I pay attention to plants and not him, they’re loving life as well.

Here’s the 5 seedlings surrounding the one clone. They are beginning to become out of control but all the branches are filling out. I believe I plan on letting them ride naturally for another month then I’ll try to lollipop all of them to get ready for flower. I have 50g of tea brewing on deck that I might give to them today or tomm. I put some old yogurt in this batch of tea( apparently it’s good for them). Today’s another great day, and I’m thankful

Moved all the cannabis and tomatoes to the lawn today. I’m not sure if I’ll keep them all this way. I watered after I moved them since yesterday was a dry cycle day. I should fertilize again tomorrow, it’s been 8 days or so since their last soil topping

Got the seeders tapped down except for one. I ran out of the plant tape that I’ve been using. I had to repair a few branches this time around while performing LST. One that I damaged will heal and the other I decided to make into a clone. Some of these branches are as long and almost as thick as it’s own main stem. I think this is from me not holding back on the P-K as much during veg. ( N-P-K)

Time to tie the bitches down again. Here are the orange creamsicles from seed that have outgrown their LST tie down points so I’m going to pull them down again and spread em wide. I should also perform some LST on my clones but I will get to them after. I don’t want any of my plants getting tall due to the fact that taller plants receive ambient day light longer at the end of the day causing them to hold onto their veg phase while transitioning from veg to flower. I’ve learned this from my years of growing different size plants outdoors

Last year I planted my seedlings months earlier then I did this year and I’m observing an equivalent amount growth from the same time of different years. I enjoy seeing differences in my own growing from adjusted techniques. What I believed to be a major helping hand this year is the constant weekly top soil feeds as well as the fermented whole seaweed I mixed into the mediums. Hopefully their rate of production doesn’t slow down too much as their roots run out of space in their pots. Anyways, I added that dr earths top soil yesterday along with a light water, today they’ll get a heavier water and tomorrow they’ll get a mist in the morning. Happy Saturday 🌍🌻

I moved pots around yesterday. The seedlings are circling a clone on the cement, the tomatoes and clones are on the grass

Watered today. I’m going to have to spread these pots out soon. The only reason I keep them together is so they take up less space. Everything is growing great. The monster cropper clones are now producing normal looking leaves Last pic was under the sunflowers 🌻

Bought some different organic fertz for Friday or Saturday’s feed. This one has ingredients from fish, kelp, alfalfa and several more. I think a plant will benefit from a wide variety of different fertz opposed to the repetitive use of a single kind.

All the Orange creamsicles have now had LST. They are spread open! It took me awhile just to only do one. Hopefully this hard work pays off.

3rd dose of organic top soil fertz and heavy watering today. This fert is great, I bought it at HomeDepot. 11.5 pounds of organic fert for less then $20! I used the whole bag this time and the last. About two handfuls for each tomato and weed plant

I haven’t received my 3D printer parts yet to make benders for LST so I became anxious and mcgruber’ed some branches down with plant tape. I’m going to end up doing this to all of my Orange creamsicles. It seems as if the clones I have are bushing out finely on their own. I also plan on not removing any of their fan leaves

Took some drone footage while my lunch digested. I also ordered some 3D printer parts today so I could make some LST plastic stem benders
