Perpetual, permanent, perennial grow diary... 🙃

Well the final two are now dried and bagged/curing and got just shy of 0.5lb off the Funky Magnifera and 0.25lb rom the Jimmy Jacks which is incredibly pleasing. Think it reallky shows off the power, capability and huge potential of the autopots. I have much more planned for the next grow. Think I want to set myself the target of growing a 1lb plant!

Now on to the outdoor grow, I'll post some pics up over the weekend. Coming along nicely and I also couldn't resist another, details to follow...

Nice job man! You can get that one pound no problem! : )

Thanks man, always appreciate the kind words and encouragement. Hope your grows are coming along well.

Just been out there in the blazing heat preparing the soil for the Cherry Pie. I'll let it marinade for a day or two then get her straight in and topped asap. Lovely stuff.

In other news my harvest from the last grow has just been coming in to the minimum window for cure so have been dabbling a little. Spotless Mind is delightful, a delicious buttery flavour and such a nice high and sativa like effect without the horrible raciness. Friends all commented how nice it is. The FunkyM also has a lovely, non cray cray sativa high and funky mango taste. I'm not usually a sativa lover (much prefer Indicas) but these two are great. And lastly, the Jimmy Jacks which is just so smooth, and tasty (think blueberry and pastries sort of flavour) with a lovely enveloping indica feel to it. God I love this game!

They'll cure like fine wine, so looking forward to sampling again after a few more months (and along the way!)

Oh and of course not forgetting the CannaCheese (THC:CBD), BluePower (smells incredible) and Supreme Runtz which I can't wait to sample this week.

Hell yeah man, I love seeing everyone rocking and rolling!

Awesome review! Congratulations on the harvest. Sounds like you have a good summer time herb to enjoy!

Ok, so I'm finally back, phew!

The three outdoor ladies are still with us and just about ok. I shall report back with some pics in the next few days...

Here we go then, have a puzzle with one of them that I've just not been able to resolve so any suggestions or help much appreciated.


Topanga Canyon

Cherry Pie

Death Star

 

[lenhug]

So the Death Star as you can see has droopy leaves and she's been this way since about a month or so in I'd say.

The droopy leaves and firm stems would/should indicate under watered but she's sat on an auto watering base and drinks as much as she wants so don't see how it can be that.

If it's the other, over watered, I dried her back for well over a week till she wilted a little then watered her back up, to this again.

Or is it maybe the temperature/environment she doesn't like or even root bound, I'm just guessing really at this point. She's beginning to flower ok but just doesn't look like a happy plant like the other two.

I'm a bit stumped tbh. Any ideas anyone, it's very odd?

 

[lenhug]

You can see the heat stress on them all but that was due to me being away so they'll be in the shade from midday - 4pmn for a while to resolve that.

I'm not too familiar with outdoor, nor the self-watering system, but I was thinking the way are....

You've ruled out my thinking.....

Some plants are just more finicky than others......

Plants look great len!!

 

[BearWater]

wondering if it’s a combo of things. Some heat stress along with waterings being not from you (trying not to sound like a dick, given the circumstances, your person who watered for you kept them alive, which is awesome!) they did good. im with Bilber! they look pretty good! i think they will like that indirect sun until you can get back to 100% ill bet you being home is what they need : )

 

[Greenjourneyman]

The last two picture look a little hungry. Off green / yellowing of leaves are you liquid feeding or in soil?

Hey @Greenjourneyman !

In the soil. They last had a feed on 29th June (Coast Of Maine veg feed 3/3 since they started) and I was considering giving them their first flower feed (CoM Flower feed) this coming week. Gave them a boost of EWC yesterday along with some Recharge day before so hopefully that will pep them back up.

Thanks @Bilber.

These are the auto watering things, pretty handy tbh:

I'm with you, think might just be a finicky lady!

Yeh, reckon you could be right you know. Some TLC for them will hopefully work wonders.

In order to not f@ck my knackered back right up by shifting them all in and out of the shade twice a day I have ordered a sun shade in the delightful colours of...a rainbow...lol! My daughters choice, not mine.
