Over the hill and through the Trees

[Lockebox]

Saying it's supposed to get up to 105⁰ today.

Wonder if I'll have to water tonight for the first time in 4 weeks

 

[Lockebox]

Still haven't watered that plant lol, maybe today's the day.

One of my sunflowers is starting to flower, and get eaten by a slug for that matter

 

[Lockebox]

Went ahead and watered last night even though she didn't look to need it.

Growing in the ground is different. I poured 2 gallons all around in like a 2' radius

Did some tucking before leaving town. I like this wire like this

Do you have control issues, LB?

Hahaha unfortunately yes 100%

It must be far enough out for you not to want to lug, broken air, conditioners, and chairs out there! Looks pretty healthy. Is it getting all day sun?

Hahah yeah, I thought this year I'd try a different approach than the scrap pile

And no not really on the sun, the trees keep it shaded until about 7:30 or 8 in the morning and then shade again around 5 pm.

Id say about 9 hours of full sun a day in my spot!

[Lockebox]

Getting closer to that time

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

[Oldchucky]

Hell yeah me too, it's real great during veg but not so once flower starts. Mold and mildews are very possible back here, pretty sure my white widow got PM last year.

Humidity is about 95% every morning I think, I'm not too sure I don't check I just hear on the radio occasionally

And for the job yeah I got my old job back, kind of.

I used to be a forklift driver here but I had to start back in a bullshit position on the bottom. Hasnt been my best run of the mill lately

In life, just like in growing weed, sometimes you have to learn the hard way! You’ll get it turned around! I’m proud of you, my friend! Keep your chin up! You go through all these trials and tribulations, and come out of it, a better man! And a lot poorer also!

Thanks man I really appreciate that.
As much nonsense as I've gone through, I wholeheartedly believe I'll be a very wise old man, but f*** it's rough in the meantime

Edit: "as much nonsense as I've put myself through"

Havent been out here in 5 days, looking good! Except for mice...

suflowers blooming

 

[Oldchucky]

Mice and rats can be deadly. If they girdle that stalk it’s all over. I would try and wrap something around the base of the stalk to limit them to the branches. Then figure out something for them. Even some thing like aluminum foil around the base of the stalk might protect it. Looking good otherwise. Keep it up! The dog days are getting here!

Shoot yeah they can, little bastards. Good idea on the aluminum foil, just easy enough for me and on hand!

I'm excited to see how this plant starts budding up, few more weeks
