Better late than never…

Planter54 Well I guess starting a diary this late in the game saves a lot of writing time, at any rate the plants listed are either in early bud stage or about to be. And yes it’s a bit of a jungle scene just because I wound up with them & there was plenty of room when they were small. They are all in a living soil, Coots blend which I made over the last 5 years or so, 3 plants are in 50 gallon grow bags and the rest in two raised beds over native soil. I use predatory insects for control of most problem insects, a little neem oil or Bacillus for fungal stuff but now that we are in flower it’s just my pet bugs and me looking for troubles. We are supposed to be getting a big rain storm overnight so we will see how they fair, the 3 in bags have less supporting structure than the bed grown plants which have trellis netting. I will get some bettpictures when the sun is back and those buds are more developed-

Planter54 Continuing into the flowering phase and looking great, the largest Super Chocolate is the leader in bud development but they’re all clearly flowering, my hands tense up in anticipation when I go look. I’ve shifted to a carb booste, Ag Silr and Cal Mino and plain old water for keeping them vigorous. The carb booster is a homemade recipe from Purple Caper at around 1Tablespoon to a gallon of water, I used a variety of different syrups in that mix, my soil life’s having quite a party. The temps remain in the 80 & 90 deg range and nights are warm, water in some form 3 to 4 times a week. Mostly it’s just a waiting game got to keep them healthy so the flowering process continues uninterrupted. I have a couple of fast plants from Twenty20 which are slightly different than the others in how the blooms develop and I am keeping an eye on them as they potentially could be the first too the finish but there are daily changes out there so we will see what strain finishes first.
