Blazing heat, smoke-filled skies, illegal! What could possibly go wrong?

So, how are they doing? We need pics! LOL

Not great! Knees are going south in a hurry! As of right now, the normal grow out back doesn’t look promising! But they’ve been brought back from the brink before! Will up, pot the solos just in case things, take a turn for the better! Disappointing! Was looking forward to growing some, freaks, land, races, triploids, etc. might still figure out a way to get it done! Castles made of sand! Thanks for asking cpurr. You go, girl!

 

[Oldchucky]

Perfect weather also! Dammit!

And it’s just beginning! That whole area from Corning to Yreka is freaking hot in the summer. Also humid if you’re near the Sacramento River! Plants look good!

Kumaoni in between 6-7 weeks old, probably 5ft as i’m 6ft,..

 

[Oldchucky]

I know I saw that during your update! Looks like she might be a candidate for bending! Might be looking at a 4 m plant when all is said and done. L O L! Will be impressive! That is my idea of a beanstalk!

no bending or topping, i’ll plant it on a bit of an angle,..

 

[Oldchucky]

Sounds good! Who knows what those things are going to do! Only one way to find out! Healthy!

Are you sure you’re not growing too attached to it? I can see it in your eyes! L O L.

mmmm just been thinking if i should grow it here instead of out at the spot,. but than it’ll been seen easily if it gets 10ft plus which looks like it,

 

[Oldchucky]

I think with something that is going to be that tall you need to do some kind of training! Otherwise they tend to come apart when the bad weather comes. it may be a couple of months before you even know the sex! Talking some pretty wild shit here! Uncharted territory! Doesn’t look like it’s going to grow like last year’s gelato! L O L!

Is that in fahrenheit?

 

[Oldchucky]

The humidity accompanying it is usually less than 20%! That is the saving grace! If you take care of the roots, these plants can handle some pretty rough conditions!

'l'll never forget the day my friend who lives in llano county Texas was telling me that it was 111 degrees outside, and then she added matter of factly "but it's a dry heat" and I'm like, but it's still 111 degrees!!!

 

[Oldchucky]

Innoway, she’s right! But 111 is hot, no matter how you spin it! But when it’s dry, you can sweat and evaporation cools you off! In Maine when it’s 90° and 70% humidity, no evaporation, so you are fucked! Lol

Oh man you must have lived here because that's exactly right! It's brutal, thank God it's not too often!

 

[Oldchucky]

No, but my brother lived in Bama for about 10 years! I’ve heard all the horror stories! I soaking wet all the time, crotch, rot for years! L O L! The list goes on!

Funny story, I worked with a guy who had to go to Russia to help monitor their nuclear program. It was winter and the river that runs through Moscow was frozen solid and it was about-20f. He asked his interpreter (probably KGB) where they were going, he said “Siberia” (a city that’s not on the map). He asked how cold it would be, the guy said “-70f, but it’s a dry cold”. When he left Siberia to go back to Moscow they had to heat the differential on the truck with blow torches because the grease was frozen solid and the wheels wouldn’t turn!
