Electroculture Valley Grow

Anon73 What a week! So much work was done. I used cow manure compost in the soil to give them a boost. Tried the weed blocker to try to keep the bugs and grass clear for my work. The area is 500 square feet. This was mid June, finished June 21st

Anon73 Added electro culture antennas. I made them with 4 and 6 gauge copper wire and a 4 foot dowel that was 2 inches wide. It wasn’t too hard but it was a pain making the wire straight. The water was set for three ten minute sprays every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 6:30am, 1pm and 8:30pm. The sprayers are stick sprayers from Drip Depot. I am using filtered water with a Hydrologic Big Boy filter, it produces 8gpm. For feeding I have a 100 gallon collapsible water barrel and I use a pump that can attach to the irrigation system.

Anon73 Proceeding same as last week. Growth is excellent.

Anon73 I started topping the plants to enhance branch growth to increase tops. The weather has been decent but hazy from the Canadian wildfires. Growth is vigorous.

Anon73 Week 5 and the plants are bursting out now. I am very pleased with the electroculture, seems like the bugs do not want to touch the plants.

Anon73 Growth is exponential now. I had to install poles to stabilize several plants, some were tilting. It seems as if they grew so fast they were leaning over. I have topped them several more times and removed some of the inner wasteful branches.

Anon73 Still pinching out tops, clearing out wasteful inner growth points. Growth is still very vigorous.

Anon73 Growth is still excellent. Very little insect activity. The copper antennas are working well along with the weed blocker. It’s so much cleaner without grass growing in between the plants. Pruning continues.

Anon73 Excellent growth still. No bugs, no mildew. Found a few snails and one grasshopper. The grasshopper would not touch the plant. It was staying on the support pole. Flowering has made itself known.

Anon73 Performed final lollipopping of the inside and lower plant areas. Growth has slowed and flowering is more pronounced. The puffball stage has arrived. Top dressed with Gaia Green 70% flower and 30% grow. Almost zero bug damage, which is shocking.
