That’s how we do it! ORGANIC ONLY!

Outdoors, anything but is kinda just dumb. goat shit, compost teas, and Mimosa roots (legume trees). Prob all ill be using til flower. my well water has more then enough calcium. Ive actually had to put acidifier down because of all the calcium. Much amending will be done this winter to repair what the well water is doing to the topsoil too lol.

you left an uploaded picture in your list non inserted into the post. it automatically puts them at the bottom when that happens.


When you edit, find that picture, and insert it somewhere into the post, or delete from the list.

Ah! Ok thanks.

I put one cap of 3% h202 in a 16oz squeeze bottle for the h202. I don't measure it exact. Is something I've started more recently. Seems very effective. I've just been using the peroxide bottle cap lmao.


1lb citric acid per 1.5 gallons of water is the ratio I've used effectively with citric acid. You use more then you'd think.

Do you spray til runoff? I'm going to move my autos into the garage but it just rained so I want to spray them before moving.
They will be done in a week or so. Our weather is not normal, we don't usually get all this rain this far into the summer.
Our tomatoes are all going to split open.

I thought it would be interesting to do a split screen to show the progress of the girls. Pics on the left are from June 3, those on the right are Aug 2.

Man that's a great way to view with the side by side. Your plants look great.

Thanks they're growing like weeds. The Blueberry Cupcake are starting to have quite a few older leaves yellowing already. I've taken corrective action but it hasn't seemed to change any. They are the only 2 that are doing it so I'm assuming it's a strain trait at this point but watching them. They should be the earlier finishers but that may not hold true. You never know. Last year the plant that should have finished first, ended up finishing last. The late finisher was first. Go figure.

Looking big and healthy!! Love the ground covering!!! That really helps with dust and bugs. Looking forward to seeing them flower!! Should be a sight to behold!

 

[RootFarmer]

Thanks man. Shouldn't be long til things get rolling. The Guinea Pig has really come along. I stressed her hard as part of an experiment. Kept her saturated from the first true leaves until July some time, among other things.

 

[RootFarmer]

Love this time of day. It kinda looks like the leaves are glowing.

Was excited to see blooms forming then I saw THIS. It's early this year.

Potassium Bicarbonate at dusk it is.

Looks like it's on.

Me too! I like to call it, morning becomes electric! L O L

Had a lower branch break at the 2nd node on the stalk. Not in a place that I can really tie it up at all. Tied some cord around the branch and secured it to the stalk so the wound was closed up and treated it with honey. I guess we'll see if it makes it. It's another really windy day so not holding my breath.

 

[RootFarmer]

I didn't mention that I followed behind with some petroleum jelly to seal the wound and keep ants and other bugs at bay. A thick smear around the wound, the trunk above and below the node, the base of all lower limbs and support poles.

 

[Oldchucky]

Be careful! I’ve seen people kill their plants with petroleum jelly! Almost like girdling it! Unless you’re familiar with using it, I would stay away from it or use it very sparingly!

Could you tell me more about this please? Thanks

 

[Oldchucky]

It was a while back! Some chick smeared it all Around the Stalk! Didn’t really get into the particulars of how it killed it. I have a feeling that somehow it kind of liquefied and soak in through the outer cambium layer, or whatever that is, and then disrupted the movement of fluids inside the Stalk. The plant went down, almost like it would, if it had stalk rot around the base of the stalk! Or if a rat girdled the stalk!

You can use cinnamon to cover wounds stimulates the healing and prevents disease.
