Morning tokers and growers, hope it's warmer where you are, as it's white over here with frost.
This week see's me with a def on the White Widow, not enough K, one minute it had enough, then boom, it didn't, so you can see the it on the tips and the serrated edges of the leafs, K is up now, but the damage will last the rest of flower, bummer.
On another note, the other two plants are doing great, the Franco's Lemon Cheese is still residing in my lamps hood, and loving it, the Shishkaberry is fattening up well, got some nice tops forming, so it seems fairly happy with life.
All three plants have just finished week 5 of flower, and started week 6 this morning when the lights came on, other than that we're rockin and rollin on the grow front. Planted my Summer outdoor auto seed, got my two gallon bucket from last year all ready to pot up the auto around mid May time. I normally start my outdoor seeds indoors then move them out, but as I'm growing an auto, I've decided to give popping the seed outdoors a go this time, the hard frosts were not in plan A, but have been pencilled in for plan B.
Not had time to brew the Milk Stout, again, just been to busy with outdoor stuff, and you know what happens this time of the year, you get in after work, and bang, the heat hits you, and you start to nod off, so next week maybe?
Orange pic time.
White Widow, just finished week 5 of flower.
Shishkaberry, starting week 6 of flower.
Franco's Lemon Cheese, week five of flower gone.
Seems to like a bit of sun this strain.
A good three inches into the hood now, and two inches from the bulb with its nearest leaf tip.
Outdoor auto, I enjoyed growing the outdoor plant last year, although I don't want any more gardening work, of any type, as I have enough to go at already, the Gorilla Glue auto I grew last year was no bother at all, just water from the tap, left for a few hours in a bucket in the open air to blow away the Chlorine, and it did fine on that diet, so I plan to go the same route this year, still only the one plant, two gallon builders bucket with the same soil as last year, all I've done is mix in some home made compost at the end of last Winter, and left it to break down. I'm starting my seed off in a six inch pot, as last years plant did well in a six, so using the same pot again this year.
Planting in soil is easy, make a divit and drop in the seed.
Then cover with soil, water it in well, stick in a label, planted three seeds, gellaone, gellatoo, gellathree, one and three have been gifted to buddy who bails me out with seeds when mine don't pop, cheers bud, enjoy. lol
Coldframe, not every one knows what one is? Its basically a wooden frame with a glass lid, a sort of mini wooden green house for hiding your plants from bad weather, like frost or heavy rain that can wash away your seedlings before they get time to root well. This is one I built two seasons ago, only just replaced the glass and frames as they were blown off during the Winter in a storm.
The Gelato Auto is in the blue tray, big pot, bottom of pic.
A free seed from a past order, lets see what happens between now and August, just got to keep it alive until June, hoping it warms up by then, didn't last year as you can see from last years auto grow. lol
Might be a good year for Plums, mine has some good flower this year, here comes the plum jam, plum wine, plum bread, can be a bit like turkey at Christmas. lol
And that rounds up another update, the frost is lifting, time to do some chores, so keep tokin folks, see you next week.
