'23 Garden Offerings.

[Old Ford]

my autos have 3 or 4 weeks to go ,i have culled all males from the regs room is at 12/12 all the ladies are showing so its been, new shoes and worm castings, fermented plant juice and every thing else i can give 'em thats good!

The chemo ruined me too , i had been suffering for time , couldnt eat as couldnt swallow , the weight just vanished off the body , along cam Covid and ruined all & any chance of help from the NHS , i ended up with a 3 month sentence and wasnt fit enough to do jack shit about it , i got a big ass bottle of nitrous & a divers mask and was going to go when i was ready NOT when this horrid infliction decided !!
I then got an offer to go on a trial AI Robotic machine and not looked back since. , signed my ass on the line and got on the machine for surgery. Had numerous rounds of chemo / radio and even some microwave treatment. Now fighting the good fight sir. Growing even if its neglected , it keeps me on focus and keeps the single cell distracted.

Manhandled and worked for a better canopy , now sadly too big & heavy for my old ass to drag around , it will stay in place until done.

SuperSativeSeedClub / Dutch Passion Black Lebanon. WOW !!!

im an old boy , been at it a long time , rarely do i find something unique ! This is unique !!

Never have i had an aroma like this , you would swear it wasnt herb with your eyes closed !
Its like a.....perfume, and the flavour profile matches but very fruity not too floral .
Visually she turns BLACK !! I have had people travel for a bit to come see her / smell her !!
NOT one person has ever experienced anything like it , so shes getting reruns

Outdoor grown in UK , in hay medium , large one in another growers garden , smaller one is my own due to being jealous lol So im on a late plant out and not been fed.
If you fancy something unique .... look no further !!!
Totally unique and a good solid outdoor plant, pretty heavy smoke too. Whats not to love.

Thanks man , sadly i need to run light deprivation as we dont have long enough summers for anything other than indica biased , i am an indica fan but i really enjoy a nice clean & clear sativa so its light dep or nothing
Im getting help with light dep this year as simply not fit enough , next year i have a nice collection for long flower , hopefully back on my feet by then.

I grow in a home brew compost & hay medium ,

Your plants look better than what I'm smoking !

Is it possible you could post a picture of the compost-hay soil ?

 

[gorilla ganja]

Nice looking garden
I'd like to hear more about the Hay mix as well. Care to give some details.
Is it hay compost or a mix of hay and compost? If so what's the ratio? Is there a specific hay that you use?
I'm in Canada and every other grow medium is getting expensive. We do have plenty of hay though.

Best wishes for your health.

Peace GG

Morning guys , the Hay Medium ... theres no magic / no secrets !

Its general meadow feeding hay , dried and chopped fine / mixed in with home brew compo - again no magic - general kitchen / garden buts, tiny bit of topsoil , , worms , just beneral home made compo and then some potting grit added. I top dress with the hay as the Slime brigade aint keen on it
Ratios will dep on what kind of season we facing ! The hay medium can hold excess water ... ideal in warmer places , not so ideal in colder / wetter places.

Ratio wise i try to keep the mix to 50% to 60% compo / 30% to 40% hay / 10% potting grit.
Less hay if its gonna be a wet season , hay breaks down quickly ! So helps with early colder plant outs.

3 pics -
1st pic is a late plant out just breaking down ,
2nd pic is an early plant out and well into breaking down.
3rd pic - late plant out and fresh top dress of hay

Your plants look better than what I'm smoking !

No magic guys , you can easily grow in a hay bale !! Just sprinkle some compost on top to let the seed start and get started and off it will go

A few snaps of stuff just taken down , and stuff growing.

Everything else is just showing its lady bits and it looks like a late harvest due to shitty weather so far and everything being behind .... cant control it so aint getting stressed
