I think 4-5 days on the MiG would be perfect. And I'm so glad you're trimming that and not me...I find it really frustrating with all those fans stuck in the buds!

And when you're doing LST on an auto, keep in mind that they don't always cooperate in terms of timing. I do the same training every time and sometimes they just decide to flower right in the middle of the project. Most autos have no sympathy for us.

And that inchworm was just there because it couldn't find the marigolds.
 
Plastic would be rain-proof, true. I mean window screening rather than window screens. You just lay it on the frame like you would plastic but you still get the airflow along with a decrease in light intensity.

Yah - that’s what i meant actually. I only have it stilll attached to a frame. I’m not sure if the other would be cool with me taking it off and i cant remember if it’s needed anywhere else in the future.

:battingeyelashes: there are a few munched out leaves around there as well. It’s ok. It wasn’t destroying it - i still removed it tho. It went out in the bush :)

:eek: IKR Often i just leav most of them in, especially if they’re crusted wit trichs the way the MiG bud leaves are. Sucker punch is another story of bushy tho!

I think I started too early as well. Next time I’ll try a little differently and see :)
 
Your garden is looking wonderful, Amy! :goodjob:
Your WW has inspired me - I bought some WW from Dope Seeds today. Looking to be in my next grow's line-up. :Namaste:
 
shape on the WW is like a green chalice, wonderful!
I love it too! All i did was try to open it up kind of evenly all around and that's what happened :slide: I just worked out that its about 3' wide. I went back and edited in 2 -3 pics i just took in the beautiful full morning sun - couldn't resist! They just looked so good when I went out to do Drench-round one.

Fantastic Beez! I'm sure you will be very very happy with them... here you go, I just edited these into that update but i'll save you the trip ;) ... in full morning sun this morning :D

they're worth seeing twice anyway - personally I can look at it all day ... :smokin2:... most days i do

Update: Critical Mass - day 90(8)

Ok - i’m calling it 8 days in flower. It seems to be still stretching. And it’s a beautiful beast. The raised bed is 3’ square :ganjamon:


It’s getting a hearty Growth Ionic Drench today, along with the other photos. The raised bed got about 4-5 litres of rainwater this morning with 15ml of GI and 1.5ml of Tea. I’ll do about the same later this afternoon, when it’s in the shade. Then there’s a Brix spray due in a couple of days which coincides with the time for another application of Snake Oil. The Snake Oil is a once per month application to start addressing some micronutrient lack/imbalance in my soil.

Pics or it didn’t happen, right? :D





The branching is spectacular. Each end looks like a really vigorous little auto!






There are some white fly in the garden, but I hardly ever see damage on a cannabis leaf.



This is a big part of why that is... :love: It is here perched on the bamboo post between the Candida and the Critical Mass and it's been there every day for the last few in a row.


And because ... here’s another in the morning light.

So, you might think that the dragonfly was easily a critter of the week worthy event - and so it is. In all honesty though, I could do a dragonfly of the hour journal! They are everywhere and all the time. I've watched them hawking white fly on more than one occasion.

I also seem to be surrounded by jumping spiders a lot right now - and to my delight the Critical Mass has one all of it’s own, and the lucky little thing has the huge expanse of Critical Mass to hunt on.

You might have spotted this in an earlier photo...


Here it is!



They come to me - and it’s always a joy if the camera is in my vicinity when that happens!

Thanks for coming along again my merry band of gardeners! :love::yummy:I’ll be cruising around everyone else’s garden now until the next exciting instalment - same Bat channel... who knows what Bat time :hmmmm:...


:Namaste:
 
The window screening sounds like a great idea. Any way to rig up mosquito netting around her? I had a visual of one of those bed-containment ones pop into mind as I read Shed’s post. That way you don’t block the Critical Mass.

We’re beginning to learn it’s the biosphere around the plant that makes the greatest impact to plant health, something I haven’t even begun to explore. I’m still wingin’ it, watching you have all this fun outdoors, you lucky woman you. :hugs:

Oh yeah... big fan of the amended raised bed. :high-five: It’ll get better with age and worm population increase. Have you considered some worm tubes?

Ok.... all caught up, and woman... that spider picture is another heart stopper! What magnificent timing you have.

I was looking at the way your branches turn up to the sun and realized I’d just taken pictures of the same thing happening in Brix’s Octopots. Lol!


That’s a posture I haven’t seen indoors in containers and it catches us by surprise every time, although tonight I could see by the twinkle in his eye as his third specimen repeated that positioning that he’s beginning to expect his plants to mimic yours growing outdoors. Lol!

The autos look lucious. From what I’ve heard they’re always a crap shoot outdoors.

Thanks for bringing me over Amy. It’s always a pleasure. It’s starting to feel like home. :Love: Keep teaching us about the moon cycles, please. It’s beginning to sink in. :hugs:
 
Oh yeah.... Brix was mighty impressed with the WW. :thumb:

It's amended with a custom blend (after a soil test) from Doc to be used with the HBB drenches and foliars - so I won't be worm-tubing in there! It's possibly something we will consider for the wicking beds where we grow our food though. :thumb:
 
Thanks for the tags AG I feel bad I. Issued it earlier but I’m here! :hugs:
The name of your thread should be “Come for the amazing photos, stay for the excellent journal that’s full of intrigue”!
Interesting situation w/Candida and the dropsy’s. She must just get a little hot under the collar and she’s like nope! It’s too hot. :theband:

The part of Southern California Ilive in gets quite hot in the dog days of summer. 100F is not uncommon for us. I have started toying with the same shade cloth idea Shed had for you. I’d love to do the raised bed but I may save that until I have a little more outdoor growing experience.

:cheer::passitleft:
 
Here in Northern California we also get a few 100F days, and last summer I put out a market umbrella to shade the girls during the heat of the day, then closed it when things cooled down. Worked well for me, but fortunately last summer was relatively mild for the most part.
 
They look so beautiful outside Amy. Really enjoy seeing the girls happy there in the middle of our winter. Gives us hope that things will thaw one day hahaha.
BTW, I really like your avatar Kismet. :ganjamon:

That’s a good idea! I’d like to pick your brain on what strains have worked well in that climate for you.

I’ve thought about that! Unable to wrangle one these days.

I’ve never had a plant do it before. All the other ones pray to teh sun all teh time, even not eh hot days, so it’s only poor CD1 who is a bit delicate.

I got phase one of the (hopeful) mitigation project done yesterday so fingers crossed i’ll get phase 2 done soon.
