Looking great! Makes me get more excited to get some plants in my outdoor garden this year. I hope my plants look that good.
Excited to see the pounds of pollen coming off that male! He may not pollinate your females but it will be enough to circumnavigate the globe!
Cheers BA! I have 'high' hopes for the Mulanje and I imagine if any of it's pollen travels and lands on anyone's plants it will probably be a bonus for the genetics it brings.
That Malawi/Ethiopian x Mulanje really looks like it's getting its stretch on! Good thing you've got the window box coverage.
Thanks Shed! Yip, I have allowed them to grow a bit more this time, so I definitely need those balcony rail planters.
The balcony is looking better all the time, Stunger!
And you couldn't ask for a healthier pollen donor... he's a handsome devil ..
Thank you Carcass! Hopefully from here on it all goes to plan!
Hey Stunger! Both mulanjes look so vigorously healthy! And mango sherbert has taken off. You really have perfected the art of stealth balcony growing! Just wondering how would you rate your current grow compared to prior grows? Did you do anything differently? Congrats on the season so far. I've been enjoying the show.
Cheers Emeraldo! No actually I have done mostly the same as last year's grow where only one plant was quadlined/hexlined out and the others were LST'ed. This grow I have 1 additional girl on the balcony (4 instead of last year's 3). If anything, I haven't been as tough on them in restricting them for height, so they are a little taller at this stage than last year's. However, I think that their stretching will soon finish and budding will take over. If I have miscalculated then I'll just have do a bit more LST or supercropping to adjust.
Re the Mango Sherbert; I really thought that was a goner, as she got a bad start and for a few weeks was a mutant mini plant, so I am really pleased that I stayed with her as she has come right, and as you noted really taken off. Last year's Mango Sherbert was a trichome frost monster so it's great that I have this one this grow, and with a bit of luck I will selectively pollinate her with the Mulanje.
First time I really noticed those drilled holes, like it, like it a lot.
Glad they arent mine, Id probably sit out and sing to them all day (like a bogan Sound of Music scene though) and never get any work done.
Anyway they are thriving, between keeping height and later trim I do not envy you bloke. Good problems to have but those girls are gonna squeeze every spare cm by the looks of things. That stretch will be real. Cant wait to watch them stack.
Cheers DV8! Those drilled holes are my version of 'air pots', the bigger 50L containers have a mixture of holes up to an inch in diameter. So it allows lots of oxygen and air pruning of the roots and is pretty difficult for the plants to sit in water.
I think all us gardeners are the same, we can so easily just sit and gaze at them!
Re stretching, hopefully they are almost done and that bud stacking is just around the corner!
The plants are beautiful, mate. Can't wait to see them in full flower...
Thanks Nick! Me too haha!
