Garden Grow

I haven’t been shutting the gate and yesterday a deer apparently pulled over a 707 Headband. Fixed the plant and the gates. Sprayed everyone with some fish and some veggie nitrogen . Yesterday I dropped a rodent bomb into a hole. We have so many squirrels, moles, voles and who knows what, but the plants haven’t been bothered in the many years growing. Keeping fing

Lovely setup Bogart. So classy and well organized, and very old school. Best wishes for the rest of the season.

Thank you so much.

The girls are doing okay for the most part. I haven’t had a soil analysis done on these holes and I’ve been adding various nitrogen products in light doses. EWC as top dress, some blood meal, plus AG or vegetable based nitrogen and some llama poo based macro/micro applied as a foliage spray. But only very lightly.
I also added bone meal for phosphorus, top dressed and scratched in. Perhaps too much bone meal because I think I may be showing signs of iron lockout on the purple train wrecks, new growth yellowing from the petioles heading toward the tips. Seemed like the growth slowed, but the nodes are again starting to be further apart. I gave them some extra water, it’s close to 100 f.
A few plants are 5 feet tall, most are 6-7 feet and one soon to break 8 foot even thought we super cropped, then topped this plant ( red Diesel).

The new holes get shade until noon. These pics were taken at 11:30 a.m. However, they then get full sun until sunset. I would need to cut three big pine trees down to get them morning sun.

Time to update. Everybody is starting to flower. The purple train wreck was the last to start.
August was disappointing. Not much vegetative growth, and plants just sat. Now that they are flowering they are stretching.

It’s been quite the grow.
The new soil missed the mark. Too much p and k, not enough long lasting n. Needs more structure , soil too fine.
Imperfect soil conditions led to a few plants getting some aphids, a first in 10 years in this orchard.
Mid September a forecast mild rain hit my little canyon like a hurricane and plants along one side were blown over. 2 of them had 4 inch thick trunks snapped in half. One of the snapped off plants is still gonna make it to harvest even though we lost 80% of her.
The final, I hope, blow came when I was hanging a nicely finished 707 headband in our new dry shed complete with air, heat, humidifier and dehumidifier and our utility company decided to cut power for 2 days because of high winds and fire danger.
However, we still made it to harvest with some nice buds.
Thanks for all the support.

Thanks . I just walked outside after the storm , saw her laying in the mud, trunk snapped in half and declared her done.
She was hung outdoors in shade and the mud was hosed off her. Then a blower was used to dry the hanging branches.
Next she was hung in a climate controlled darkened shed for 12 days until the buds had dried to 65% humidity, then in buckets and slowly backed down through burping and breathing 2x a day till they hit 62%.
I was very happy with a 12 day dry in the new drying shed with humidifier , dehumidifier air and heat. Excellent practice run, worked some bugs out.
A loupe showed the trichome s were still clear.
