indoor /outdoor Jekyll passion

farmerdave growing good in solo cup a happy frog soil on top half of cup with fox farm ocean soil on bottom half of cup

farmerdave roots starting to grow to the layer of fox farm which has nutrients

farmerdave started feeding call mag solution when dry

farmerdave pinched growing tip

farmerdave this week I remove some of the big leaves on top to get light to the branches that are forming from the topping I did a week earlier. keep alternating between the cal mag feed and the nitrogen feed, transplanted into 1 gal pot

farmerdave moved out to garage in window with led lights supplementing light and keeping the day at 18 hours long. temps swings a lot 70 day 50 night

farmerdave seem to like it out in the garage, no bad effect from the move seems like its every other day watering feeding every other watering ph is climbing a little to 6.7 from using well water

farmerdave fertilized with base water lowered to 5.0 using citric acid @ 1/4 teaspoon per gallon and brought the soil ph down to 5.8 from 6.7. this took several waterings. Pinched all the branches at the top and rooted the cuts I got off top for later

farmerdave hoping to get them out in the sun soon, getting a little lanky

farmerdave this week they were able to be put outside in the sun and air. I slowly introduced them to the sun. all the air made them need more water . now every day

farmerdave same o same o. getting them outside as much as possible and getting grow sites ready for transplanting. this plant is going into a 2 year old compost composed of mainly leaves , chicken shit and pond debris muck and wood ashes.

farmerdave ph is rising again so am going to lower it again. 1 more week and it will be in the ground I hope

farmerdave figures the week before they went into the ground I made a mistake. my ph meter was way off calibration and I was in a hurry and fed them with 3.0 ph feed and it caused a really ugly situation as you can see from the pic. I flushed them out after conferring with other growers then planted them in the ground.

farmerdave Went in the ground may 29. the roots look great and new growth does not have the funk

farmerdave looking good , The potassium problem is long gone ad the wood ashes in the soil help with that. I can see the weeds should have been scraped off farther than I did, we have a lot of rain so no hand watering lately.

farmerdave thought I would mention that I have not been feeding anything as this soil should have everything it needs

farmerdave no pic this week, plant is growing sideways needs staking

farmerdave again no pic this week,

farmerdave have put up fencing and starting to trellis it with string

farmerdave more staking an supporting this plant is now 4 1/2 tall and about 4 ft wide,

farmerdave steel fence bars added to hold fencing up and to run string around to keep supporting, middle of the summer and no watering or feeding needed but I threw some top dress fertilizer on for the heck of it . She's is just growing like crazy , we have had a lot of multi inch downpours of rain

farmerdave threw straw down as a mulch to keep weeds down . next year will do this when I plant in ground plant look very healthy

farmerdave she is still growing fast and filling out . pic doesn't show but its about 7 ft tall and 7 feet wide. see some flowers starting. seems late but should be any time'

farmerdave no pic this week cause on vacation

farmerdave still on vacation so no pic

farmerdave starting to flower. this plant is flowering about a week later than my other jekkyl passion. wonder if it because it is a monster the bottom of the trunk 6 inches

farmerdave coming along great just hoping the rains start slowing

farmerdave had a storm lost a couple branches and I duct taped a bunch of branches to the main trunk. the plant is beefing up nicely.

farmerdave flowers are developing nicely, hoping the weather is holding out couple weeks to go

farmerdave almost ready to harvest ,

farmerdave Don't why this is only showing wet weight, dry finished bud off this 1 plant was 32+oz, I was in trim jail for a bit. the buds on this plant showed some of the parent "FLO" characteristics, not all the buds were ready at the same time I harvested over a 10 day period. I will definitely grow this next year and will cut some time off the veg . I am going to make coasters out of the 6 inch stump of this plant
