G’day friends and fellow growers, I thought I would give an update considering it’s been awhile.
First up as we wander back to the garden is one of the Double Tap Twins who grew 3 main tops all on her own.
She is roughly 4 foot round and slightly taller.
Next up we have the Cluster Bomb who is 6’8” above the soil and over 5 foot round
Now we have the 2nd Double Tap Twin coming in at roughly 5’ tall and 3’6 diameter
And here are the 5 gallon MC girls, 3 Blue Dream and a Cluster Bomb all running about 3 foot
Our security officer, Mr Snoop Dog taking a break from patrolling to chew on a stick here in the foreground. Gotta be careful around him, he’ll run up behind you with a big stick and take the legs out from under you
Continuing our tour, we arrive at the garden where the LOS girls share their digs with the giant pumpkin.
Of the 4 Garden Girls, we will start with this girl who grew 3 limbs per node and was topped leaving 6 limbs which have been bent, stretched and pinned down to spread her out. Yesterday I decided to put a cage around her and open her up some more. She appears to be about 2 weeks behind her sisters who are showing early signs of flower.
Next in the garden we have the girl who has the largest pumpkin as a bed mate. She has not been cut, but I had been pulling her main stem back at an angle to promote better branching and more bud sites. She also had a few of her lower limbs pulled down again yesterday. She is 5’ at hEr highest point and the pumpkin beside her is approaching 24” diameter.
Now we have the “racked“ girl. Again, no topping, but was pulled back and tied to the rack as she grew. Having the pumpkin in between the girls has made accessing the area between the girls troublesome. Next year, NO pumpkins near my girls
Being 4’ across x 4’ long and about 4’+ tall, she is likely to be a monster in full bloom.
Last but not least, this girl self topped herself giving 2 mains that have been pulled down and out. She’s not grew as big as I had expected but is by no means a small plant.
All the girls in pots/totes are getting 6g/gal of Mega Crop daily and drinking between 1 and 4 gallons a day depending on the size.
The garden girls are only getting water when I feel they need it, generally based on the look of the pumpkin, when it needs water, the girls get some as well.
I notice many of you have girls farther ahead in flower than my girls, but I expected late flowering with the Cluster Bomb, was unsure of Blue Dream, but as both are Sativa leaning hybrids, it doesn’t surprise me.
Even though I know they tend to flower faster under the Big Light in the Sky, and some BD I’ve grown can be ready with weeks 6/7 inside, I will be surprised if any are ready before mid October. Hopefully we have a relatively storm free and not too wet a fall this year
