I appreciate the support from everyone and everyone's input! The soil was pretty wet still so I'm not sure how long i should wait before feeding them or if it matters because its more than likely going to rain again soon. While I was checking them out one of those sneaky deer snort wheezed at me and almost gave me a heart attack lol
ill agree with you all day world has gone nuts
I was relieved to see they where happy and doing good. Worried alittle bit those past few days. No sign of the bear today. Found a turtle though lol
So when I go to retop them, how many tops would I pinch off? Just one or mutiple?
i’d only do two or three, it’s outdoors you really don’t have to put the plant through that stress outdoors, they’ll be huge as long as they are healthy.
Ok. I appreciate it man
Go to dollar store and buy some bars of Irish Spring soap. Put that out around your plants (not too close so the chemicals wont come into contact with the roots when it washes away during rain). The deer will smell it from a mile away and stay clear.
I'm going to feed them tomorrow. I will stop by the dollar store before I go
If you can get your hands on some wire remesh or something similar you can make cages to put around your plants to protect them from deer etc while they are small. But more importantly it will provide support for your plants when they start getting bigger and adding bud weight. Nothing worse than going to check on your plants late in the year and finding one blown over. I know from experience. You can also train your branches through the squares in the wire as the plant grows. Make it around 4-5ft tall and a few feet across and stake it down for support. Since you are growing guerilla put some sticks, leaves, small plants through the wires to break up the square pattern from unwanted eyes. As your plant grows up and through it, it will eventually be hidden.I'm going to feed them tomorrow. I will stop by the dollar store before I go
I can look around for some. I could find something forsure. Also it looks like its going to rain all day tomorrow. Would the liquid nutrients I use get washed away in the rain if I fed them tomorrow? Its not supposed to rain for a few days after tomorrow and I'm sure they would be fine to wait a day.
I don't use liquid nutes so I'm not much help on that one. You should look into getting some good organic soil amendments that you can use to top dress with. They'll break down over time and feed your soil in turn feeding your plants. Then you wont have to worry about going out there all the time to feed with liquid nutes. Right now something high in nitrogen and calcium would be good to support veg growth. Alfalfa meal, bone meal, or lobster meal. Mix it in with some good compost or worm castings. Some kelp meal would be good as well. Based on your area Im guessing most strains will go into flower by end of July/ beginning of August. So beginning of July top dress again with something higher in phosphorous and potassium and lower on nitrogen for flower. High phosphorous bat or seabird guano or some fish bone meal would be good. When you go out to water your plants you could mix in some unsululfered black strap molasses, about a teaspoon per gallon. That will help feed the microbes in your soil in turn speeding up the breakdown of the soil amendments.
I've been using fox farm trio from the beginning. It wouldn't mess with them to change it? I have 0 experience with top dressing.
Ill try to find something to top dress with. I have a few local farming stores that may have something. I bought organic miracle grow but after buying it I read that miracle grow isn't recommended.
Yeah stay away from miracle grow if you can. If you have any rural kings close by you can buy bags of composted manure. They also have oyster shell feed for chickens. You can top dress with that as well and its a good source of calcium and good for keeping soil PH in check. Alot of places have epsoma tomatoe tone. Its a good all around top dress if you're having trouble finding amendments locally.
No rural king but I have Walmart and tractor supply. I will look there tomorrow
