Whew! All caught up. Lol!
They use goats in the area to keep the growth down between the river and the expensive restaurants that line the river path. Those critters will denude the space in no time flat!
Amen! Identify the desire, accept that it’s inevitable and joyfully head in that direction. You’ll get there when the time is right.
Great conversation in this room. It took me a while to catch up with the crew, and I’ll be left in the dirt again, I’m sure, but I always enjoy the feeling of stopping in your parlor my friend.
That Blue Dream looks very much like the tight little girl I grew. It was nearly impossible to keep inner growth under control. I ended up stripping popcorn from mine and making omelets. :3.
She shines under your care Amy. Well done.
You flipping her today?
I take it you're aware goats will eat anything and will go to great efforts to get it, right? Outdoor gardens of any sort are prime rib to them.

So cut yourself some slack. Change comes in small moves.

Are you trying to get me in trouble again?

Couldn't pass it up busted. Lol! I was down there yesterday admiring their efficiency.
Ok, I'll let it slide this time.
I'm new here so I'm still trying to sort the userbase, just checking if I needed to file you under T for Trouble-maker or I for Instigator but I'll put you under U for Un-decided, for the time being anyways.
Right, better abscond before the grounds keeper shows up and escorts me out at the end of a pitchfork again. (Just kidding, Amy.
)
Wonderful pics! Rest well.
Awww... He is adorable!!! I know there are 3 different kinds of these (can't rememer class of animal) and I love watching them. I know they can be dangerous, if provoked, but dang, I really want to hug one.Thanks Archi
The best thing about the kangas is that they’re pretty much only interested in the grass, so they eat nicely around the bottom of other plants and sometimes it can look quite manicured
Birdy asked a while ago about wallabies though, and kanagroos ain’t wallabies. While they’re similar, they are fairly distinct, especially when it’s a swamp wallaby you’re talking about - which is what our our old boy is. So this one is for you @AngryBird - he’s here almost every day too. The photo is also from my last journal, so was taken sometime in May this year
I’m going dark for 48hours or so - no internet, no phone.
Hope. You have generator going and all is well, you'll get this post after the black out.
Hi Shed and Amy my small experience with lower branches producing larger buds runs for naturally grown plants. (Of which only 2 I can say I've grown) If so then yes. Too bad there's only so many of them. If I train for a flat top or go scrog then the structure of the plant changes the bud size to more standard to the particular plant it seems.
Amy said that to me back when I was growing my flat-top AK-47, which I supercropped the hell out of (you can see it in this month's POTM). The lower branches reached the top and did produce the biggest buds. Can't say for scrogs though as I haven't run one.
My last couple of grows I let mine grow naturally and I’ve noticed the same thing. I’ve also never been able to confirm this, but one time I pulled a plants main stem over almost 90degrees and the plant seemed to lose interest in the main stem and all the sub-branches become the plants focus.
And that's the reason to train!
Yea I suppose your right haha! I don’t know why but sometimes I like to just let em grow naturally. Probably laziness. I think, especially after my current grow, I will be a more involved plant trainer. I’ve realized that I’m wasting electricity if I’m not trying to keep a nice flat canopy. Your POTM submission looks awesome, InTheShed. It’s a perfect bush which is what I aim for when I train.
Thanks! That one was a monstercrop with branches everywhere. I thinned and topped but then the rest was all supercropping to get the canopy completely even. Probably didn't need to since it was grown in the sun but I wanted to see if I could get it flat. It worked!
My first grow was super lemon haze in a 2x4 box I built that only had 4’ of headroom. I just kept topping and topping and she was a very bushy plant. I took a break from photoperiod plants and I think that’s why I don’t train as often, autoflowers can sneak up on you about 20 days in as they start stretching. Gotta get out in front of her!
I tend to flatten my autos with LST to keep the apical stem lower than the rest where possible. The photos I just have to be able to carry around so I can flip them in the shed for 12 hours before I carry them back into the sun in the mornings!
I’m gonna dig into some of your content here Shed. I’m curious about your methods, now more than ever before haha! I would love to do a plant outdoors, with supplemental lighting, etc. Bugs are usually what deter me here. I see a lot of leafhoppers and budworms. I got a pretty good grip on the worms the time I grew outdoors before. But those leafhoppers were relentless.
I have caterpillars along with thrips, mites, aphids, and who knows what else. Here was my entry into Photo of the Month for last January:

Funny but not funny Hahahahaha. I feel your pain. You got a smorgasbord of critters there eeeek! Curious, do you use your leaves and stuff for edibles, etc?I have caterpillars along with thrips, mites, aphids, and who knows what else. Here was my entry into Photo of the Month for last January:

Not those! But I do use clean ones now having been convinced by Preston9mm and newty that they're effective if you have enough of them. I made gummies and my wife finally ate enough to get high!
Haha I made coconut oil with a plant that had bugs and I just couldn’t bring myself to eat that stuff hahaha. I’ve been using the magical butter machine simple but now that I got their decarb box, I’m pumped to try again. In the past my canna oil seemed weak. I also lack a gallbladder, so that could be a prob as well.
