Outdoor grow

[ken81]

Making the rounds pretty much kicking my ass alot of cleaning stuff up, trimming, removing branches, just putting in what I can when I can, on the menu 1st and foremost bt, spinosad and amyloliquefaciens with this weather 3-5 days and after rain also a pre-soaping dawn just to knock dust debris dead bugs mold spores whatever, monthly handful of DE around stem bug prevention silica and a few other things plants like, soil conditioner water retention just to name a few benefits, otherwise switched from tomato tone/garden tone which
I was feeling was suboptimal to bone meal epsom salt and good old compost been so focused hadn't taken pictures lately, still tons of clean up to come, minor reinforcement on plants everything seem good just staying diligent pretty gusty and may become more volatile, weird season tho what can you do but the best you can, a handful still need the second nets always something tho rome wasn't built in a day we's a tough bunch steady eddy wins the day, used to push so hard trying to get everything done burn out wear out and be frustrated with lack of help, switched mindset slowed down realized I'm stronger than I knew and I got this with true focus and purpose sometimes I shock self in what I accomplish, love this thing we do really appreciative, the entire world melts away in my happy place heart full mindful and grateful

1 problem, the cages yea they are really doing their job my problem is taking a picture to show a couple of 3-4" across stems too much focus on foreground the cage they don't show well settings something idk anyhoo those are 15ft plus a little after 2 3ft crops shaping others 12-14ft and still pushing heights may even be a bit taller have to run the tape again on em

Early on I'd get caught up chasing maybe when there was a definite right there, treat what you see, prevent what you don't, started cementing it and things finally feels right and trust me it doesn't mean no worries ever vigilant, signing off for a while just too much its game time and time to buckle up, good luck to all and don't forget those good bacteria and microbes definite Pic drop soon

A few rushed shots while pruning really doesn't do justice but they fat

Picnic under the trees

 

[ken81]

Fighting a cold 3 rs rest relaxation reflection, combination of burning both ends, not enough down time this last couple months, recharging for the work ahead, sometimes a break is good regardless of what's needed, mind wanders questions arise negativity seeps take care out there be mindful heart full and greatful

Looking real good!

I hate stagnancy get a little frustrated but learning to appreciate the chill hardest thing sometimes is sitting self down laziness kills ambition but being burnt out unfocused kills dreams

Wind the other day was wild popped a few ties and pulled netting loose some reinforcement but holding firm just trying to stay on top of it, sorry to see so many get damaged, I get anxious every time we get 20mph plus, time will tell if these monsters stay upright but I have faith and will to overcome

Guessing I need to borrow a larger ladder can't get much over 15ft reaching, I need a pear tree ladder or orchard ladder idk heard them called a few things but I'm eyeing one, much needed if finances allow it, the stretching on a few was crazy they are definitely bigger than expectations but I ain't afraid of a good challenge

If you were a volunteer fireman, bring in a hook and ladder!

I wished I was alot of things superman complex woulda fit right in just started getting out of own way so its the beginning of a dream I guess, but maybe township firefighters could help if I wasn't a loner just coming out a shell tho

 

[ken81]

Feeling better today back to work, thinning, its insane I get lost sometimes, kinda have to chunk it out otherwise it starts overwhelming me, focus on an area but I never thought I'd have a sea of green that big that high

Strawberry banana runtz is a wild strain its like over ripe bananas very popular last year

 

[ken81]

Most of what I can reach from the ground or step ladder has been pruned, on to the fun of moving big ladder around, pool ladder not the best but is what it is, some will be fun to even reach but ive been cutting access points in the nets, they are all connected and attached to fences on both sides figuring it out tho

Reinforcement here and there is a pretty regular thing

End of September 2024 got kinda crazy from there so lack of pics way more prepared going into 2025 also starting to have a direction dialing it in already working on next year and the changes/little tweaks always thinking on what I can do differently going forward

I also intentionally waited to put plants out later June if I remember it was 21st so many were jumping the gun, little experimental but I knew they'd overcome

Last year was a more controlled chaos this year was about proof of what I can do all in see the limit unlimited, probably more controlled next year maybe
