Hi folks, 65-year-old growing my second crop here in Massachusetts where we can have 12 plants between my wife and me.

It’s the last day of July and they are over 8 feet tall now. Thank God I’m starting to see buds.I grew them in 10 gallon bags of Pro Mix, with a layer of lobster compost, and then a layer of straw.

New here outdoor grower


I’m wondering if there’s anything I should feed them with to encourage budding, or should I leave them alone?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Farm, from another old guy in MA. I didn't grow outside this year, but seeing your pics, I kinda wish I did!

Looks good, man! Since you asked about organic feeding in flower, I will address that.

I use Neptune’s Harvest Rose and Flower (1oz/gallon). 4oz for four gallons per plant at this stage.

You can use a fertigation bucket with a bit of hose to get the juice where it needs to go. I shoot it straight into the root ball.
