I checked the pot that female I clipped the other day was in.
Mycribal fungus throughout. I've seen it many times in pots and in the ground long before I was using manure and compost teas. It obviously occures naturally but I'm sure the compost tea helped as well as the bio-tone.
The top layer had dozens of sowbugs.
I had added a couple of inches of composted horse manure a month plus ago which may have harbored the bugs. Doesn't matter, all they do is ariate the soil.
I hate growing weed in pots. This poor girl was root bound, just as I'm sure her two sisters are. I have a steady supply of pallets and will make a few extra large containers for next year.
So far I've only tried the trim on the six stems I clipped over a week ago. Good strong high hitting both body and head at the same time. I'll give the buds a try this weekend. They've been jarred for about a week now and getting a deeper and sweeter smell by the day.
I've had issues with moth larva in the past (mainly cabbage moth) borrowing into buds so this year I planted a row of 5 Brussellsprouts, a winter plant in these parts.
Gophers have taken two and one is a runt. Look how the leaves have been munched. I've only found one larva on my pot plants and that was a couple months ago on a plant in the greenhouse. I'll try and grow plants of the cabbage family in the future for the moths to target. Seems to work.
Some thoughts on raised beds. I've tried treating the plants individually, watering around each, and then treating the entire box as one and have found much better growth treating each box as one living unit, watering the entire box. I mention as this has really made a difference. Just food for thought.
Work has been a killer lately and I'm beat. Really need a vacation or at least a few days in the mountains doing nothing. Discussions with the boss continue. Soon, I hope or I'll have to push back my upcoming coco grow.
Time to get hammered
