That sounds like a great line-up oof seeds Matt!Hello awesome people. I've been a bit scarce for a while as things are really busy here and, I've fallen behind on basically everything. Tomorrow is 1 September and that means I drop some beans for my summer grow. Hoping to grow some proper trees this year as I now know the property better and most importantly where the sun is best. Today is as spring as it gets. Warm and sunny. Good vibes.
Normally I plant straight into the soil but, my bully is now able to jump the fence and has destroyed most of the veggies in the garden. I can't plant there yet. So, I will be germinating in polystyrene cups and move to bigger pots and as soon as I've built a better fence, I'll prepare and transplant into the veggie garden as that gets sun all day.
Here are the strains I'm going to grow. Some are tests from the last seed run which will be going to the Shedster and Virgin ground for winning the of the year competitions. I have not forgotten you guys. Some will be to isolate certain phenos for a seed run. 50% of the harvest goes to my edible business and the rest goes into me
Here is what I have planned:
3 x Double Wild Durban regs
3 x Mozambique landraces regs
2 x Holly's Harvest x Malawi 2 (Holly's Malawi) fems
3 x Transkei landraces regs
2 x Holly's Harvest fems
2 x Miss Sticky green fems
2 x Miss Sticky back crosses regs.
I'll be growing organically with minimal additions besides some worm castings and dolomitic lime and some bone meal .
Before transplanting, I'll add some compost and dig that in too.
The wind here is about the same as the deck so, I'll be strapping them down in some sort of outdoor scrog.
In the tent I just have 7 mothers that are getting savaged by spidermites. Tonight I'll hopefully have time to spray them down.
As companion plants, there will most likely be some marigolds popping up from last season and I would like to plant some other goodies with bright flowers to attract the wasps and especially and hopefully, a couple of chameleons from the mountain. They are around, I just have not seen one in my garden, yet.
It's a perfect day so I'll be taking the kids to Llandudno beach ( my favorite beach in Cape Town) and that won't leave me much time for plants today.
Tomorrow is the day.
I'll be around to everyone's journals as soon as I get time to fart.
Have an awesome weekend wonderful people.
Here is the weather report and the destroyer of everything.
I'm especially interested to see the Double Wild Durbans and the Mozambiques.
What exactly is a Double Wild Durban?
The Destroyer looks like a pretty awesome character
Sounds like you need to get your brix up to rid yourself of the mites.
No Durban's please though. 
Carmen.
