Hello Ljubljana!

Sorry your order is carried out tad late but my place's been rather busy as of lately:biggrin:

So today there's mixed greek salad on the menu consisting of local toms, nettle dressing and ace veggies.
Parsley, peppermint, peppers, olives and cheese plus olive oil(make all these my own) are not on display...

Enjoy the salad and pay as you please:laughing:

P.S. The red little thread in one of the pics is at 2,00 m.
The lady grows symmetrically height and width wise. That is the longest lower branches are over a metre, which means +2 m tall vs +2 m wide. Stem periphery 13cm. Amazing, ain't it?

Awesome. Your tomatoes are three weeks ahead of mine. And I started them as early as the weather permits out here. Eatting a lot of spinach, lettuce, mustard, arugula, and fresh oregano. Potatoes are looking great. Ready to eat anytime. Last week has been overcast and soggy bad for the girls good for the broccoli and greens.
With the rain came the wind knocked my biggest plants over. Half-assedly tried staking them up but decided to leave most of them flopped over to encourage branching and disguise them with the surrounding vegetation.
Need to get a camera to show you guys. Have about eight girls showing already unfortunately the Bangis haven't. Hoping for those little white hairs any day. They were immune to the wind's havoc I like plants with strong root systems.
With the wet cold several of my plants are looking off color a couple have scraggly wrinkly new growth. Glad I'm experienced enough not to freak out. It looks like a deficiency or burn if I started messing around I could really screw things up. The sun came back today they'll sort themselves out over the next couple nice days.

No doubt PNW is not comparable to Aegean shores where we transplant our seedlings in April.
Had I sowed my toms a bit earlier, February that is, I would have had my first ripe toms by now which is the case with my potatoes/fresh beans/zuccinis and cucumbers.
As for the winds, don't forget that we've got Aeolus:biggrin: to keep them behaving although he gets negligent from time to time and we may suffer some minor damage.

Now my Bangis are doing just fine with the third one at the back being reluctant to show gender. Did I have no space problem, I wouldn't mind waiting for it but culling is calling me.

:tiphat:Orfeas

P.S. It would be jolly interesting to take a look at your garden...

Hi Orfeas,

Sounds like you get about a month earlier start than I do, and probably a month later. Must be nice.

Now my Bangis are doing just fine with the third one at the back being reluctant to show gender. Did I have no space problem, I wouldn't mind waiting for it but culling is calling me.

My thin leaf Bangi Haze is finally starting to show some pre-flower structure that looks female. No pistil yet, but I'm really hoping for female, because I cut back the other one in the same planting spot that was also slow to show gender. Besides, I really like the looks and spicy lemon smell of that one.

I second your sentiment to see pictures of TheRevverend's plants.

Your garden is looking great. Good job.
:tiphat:

Well well well
talking about Aeolos' bag of winds and staking

He must have had a loose knot on the neck of the bag and voila the results.
But then it is something I should have done myself since the big one has been pushing the small one for a while now. Never mind, no damage at all!

Sehr geehrte Herr Fassbinder,
what do you make of the last picture?:biggrin:

porno:biggrin:

lets call her Gina;)

in fact she rooted in under 14 days layered outdoors.:respect:
is this a standart soil composition in the layering pot?
did you scrape the stem or just burried it?

thank you for wisdom!

Alright then, baptised she is by the name Gina Lolobrigida and Ruedy the godfather:biggrin:

As for the soil it is Orfeasmix:biggrin:and yes I did give her a primitive scratch 4-5 days after I had burried the branch.
Had I scratched it right before burrying, it should have rooted in ~10 days. Ausgezeichnet!:biggrin:

Nice work on the layering. Impressed that it worked so well and so fast.
Harvested the first top from my autoflowers. A sour spyder, smellls amazing but it was tiny! Wonderful sweet berry smell looks royal lavender purple. Probably dry down to about 5 grams but it's a great way to celebrate the summer solstice. The best part is there's no mold in sight!

Impressive results with layering, that's true...a pot full of roots in two weeks.

You say no mold in sight but I say don't count your chicks before they hatch for you know first hand that mold is a Fall issue not a Summer one:biggrin: But of course it's a nice thing to sample buds with no mold...

Over here, after the storm and the rain there has come the heat 33-35 C, welcome it is no doubt, although it calls for more frequent watering.
However, I can't complain for watering is not an issue for me, except for a Jamdel fem in a 35 lt pot up in the woods. But then again carrying 15-20 lt a few hundred yards every week or so is something that my back can take alright (I'm not that old yet!:biggrin: ).

Now my Jamdels have spread considerably leaving me very limited space to take snapshots...
The Thai leaning one didn't mind lying down for a day however forcefully and she's already at 2 m.
The big one seems to have stalled a bit, be it the solstice or the topping I cannot tell. At 2,45 m now she's going strong and healthy.

Hey, Ruedy, she started yellowing a few bottom fan leaves.
Is she telling me to pump same N ?:laughing:

If now you're struggling with finding a spot to take photos, I'm sure in a month you'll be needing a machette:biggrin:

Great plants, literally!

eh Maestro:tiphat:

by Elmer Bud:tiphat::

'My information tells me the attraction charge of the roots changes when the plant goes into flower cycle . Less positive / negative pull to attract Nitrogen . So the plant is already limiting N on its own . Hardly uptaking it during flower . If you want to boost N . Foliar in pre flower is much more efficient .Than putting it to the roots which have little attraction to N during flower .
But as I don`t need extra leaves or stems I don`t bother .'

me in personal would get her a nice duche of black gold...but...
no Jackito, i would dance around this tree and wash my hair in orfeas mix:biggrin:

fuckin incredible

Funny thing, I believe my NepaleseJam and Bangi Haze outdoors stalled a bit now also. I think my issue is due in part because of too much compost in my soil. I am in the process of delivering one more dose of high nitrogen fertilizer before they start to flower, hopefully in one month. I would like to see a big growth spurt in July. The best advice for potent weed I ever got was to cut off nitrogen starting in July.

Your plants look very healthy.

Cutting back on N starting in July is a good idea. A few years ago I messed up gave my girls a large blast of fish fertilizer in late August. They grew like crazy didn't begin flowering until the second half of September. They amazed me by finishing really quick but I was sweating it out worrying about the October rains.
I displeased the Gods by blabbing about no mold. On my autoflower seed run I found it today. No biggie because I was growing it for seeds not buds but still annoying. Especially because the seeds are still immature and I had to cut. But I was asking for it with the rain and letting the pollen and male flowers rain down on the plants.
Still no pistils on my Bangis I'm starting to worry. At least no male looking preflowers yet but I'll be disappointed if they're all male.

Greetings,

Sure enough, as soon as I post that my plants have stalled, it rains, and the plants livened up and have gotten bigger. Maybe I'm just not watering enough. It has been extremely dry here. No rain for months, and very low humidity. It only rained a quarter inch, and I swear the plants absorbed water from their leaves and took off. Looking very clean, shiny, and new despite a broken branch or two.

What type of fertilizer are you using Thai?
Ive been top layering with worm casts and compost and
making tea from them. Thats with plants in pots and in ground though the ones in the ground never show deficiencies.

Same here, no rain for weeks, the top soil is cracked and bone dry really wish I mulched.

The heat still lingers on, 37 C today real hot but no humidity at all.

My Bangi and Jamal Hash are very hard to control making me bend/snap all their tops that touch the protective plastic top. Dubi said that Bangi grows to 160-180 cm but not for me. I reckon I'll end up making an unintentional sog:biggrin:
The Bangi is already at 2 m and still going having a couple of fan leaves that measure 43 cm(stalk and blades). Is this normal? I hope it isn't all fart no shit!

What amazes me now is this Jamaldelica whose leaf stalks are all redish and it seems as if flowering has set in. Somewhat early, isn't it?

As for ferts you guys talking about, I use none (additional I mean) except for occasional nettle tea sprays. Much later in flowering I might need to supplement a bit of Ca/Mg

Hey, Rinse! I take you know that 10-15 cm below surface temps drop drastically, so piling up soil from around the stem would be an immediate remedy for high temps...
