I got out to the plants this weekend. Things are looking so so. First off, heres how things are looking at Last Years Plot. The big tall plant i was sure was going to be male is already showing some pistils. Nice! She got a new cage as it was already at the top of the old one about 2ft high.
The 3 in the bed are coming along nicely. No signs of sex showing yet from any of them. Some minor bug damage to the lower leaves but they should get over it fine. I also added another 5 seedlings to this plot in 4inch square pots. Not sure if theyll stay here or move further into the bush...
And on to the Sunshine Plot where unfortunately, things are looking nearly as well as they could be. Apparently theres a ton of bugs when it comes to growing in swampy areas? They really did a number on 2 plants. One of them has even got a good sized bud starting on it. Im not sure if this is maybe because its so stressed from all the bug damage. And they pretty much destroyed the 6 i started on site aswell.
The other 3 for some reason arent quite as bad. I didnt have much as far as pest control. I found a rancid bottle of neem oil from last year. so i dumped that out and mixed up some detergent. It still smelt like neem oil though. Ill have to make sure to hit them properly next visit
