Greetings :peace_symbol:

I might feed them a little something tomorrow, has been 3 weeks today.

Hoping to hear back soon about the genetic samples I sent last week.

I saw :eyes: a lady bug party on some fava beans this evening.

Wishing you all the best :four_leaf_clover::heart::fire::dash::evergreen_tree::rainbow:

23 out of 35 were females, nearly 66% :partying_face:

I put 9 of them in the ground, 2 in each 200 gallons - Backseat Preacher x2, White Widow x 2, Willys Wonder x2- and one each in the 100 gallons - Wednesdays Child crosses of Dos Si Dos, 11 Roses, Sugar Black Rose.




I will get some CBD strains going in another garden spot soon…:evergreen_tree::rainbow::peace_symbol:

I am most grateful :heart:

It’s my 1st time growing it…

Killah Priest (Sour OGxPurple Urkle) clone only x Dirty Taxi :oncoming_taxi: (GMO x Chem I95)

Supposed to have very high calyx to leaf ratio, a bit easier to trim, 24-26% THC.

Thank you @HippieRunner1 it feels wonderful to have Mary Jane growing again :heart::fire::slot_machine::peace_symbol::evergreen_tree::sunny: I am most grateful :rainbow:

Not sure where you’re at but this Cali weather where I am is a trip…hot one week, cold and rainy the next. Hope your girls doing well.

What CBD strains are you going to try?

I am in Sacramento area. I have a CBD Dragon F3, and a CBD Panties going, each in their own 65 gallon containers since Saturday. I have them both under mini greenhouse’s because of the cool and rainy schizophrenic spring weather.

Yeah, this weather is nuts…

I’ll have to look into those strains. This is my first year growing and I have 3 of the same CBD strains and 1 high THC strain.

I have one of my 4 plants outside and since it’s established and hardened. I just left it outside, I don’t have room for it inside. Whatever happens, happens at this point.

That horticulture screen is a good call: it ought to keep those damned cabbage loupers off your plant.

Got the idea from you when I first joined! Not the neatest execution but it protects the plant and I can access it with ease if I need to.

@CaliRob

I wonder if I could just put a plant in our compost bin and see what happens.

@CaliRob the roots will grow through the bottom of bag into the earth, helping the plant develop better, directly on the soil or in it.

I prefer a minimum of 50 gallons per plant outdoors.

Female plants awaiting homes living in mini greenhouse.

I have one plant in a 200 gallon in greenhouse to help it catch up to its peers.

The others seem to be adjusted and tolerating the cooler weather.

I feel like it would be a very happy plant.

Oh man, looks amazing! I wanted to grow directly in ground but I have clay soil and summers get too hot for most things to really establish themselves and survive.

I definitely love and am jealous of what you have going on there.

Do you re-use soil or just dump it and start your next grow in new soil?

@CaliRob

I am a living soil person, I amend and re-use the soil every year, and grow cover crops in the offseason to help maintain/improve rhizosphere health. I work back most of the trim and stems into the soil, plus ashes. I started out with good organic potting soil in the big bags. I have heavy clay soil around here too.

The plants can take 110 degrees and higher, more roots equals more fruits, with a minimum of 5 hours direct sunlight :sunny: a day. A larger root system helps them regulate and weather the temperature extremes as well.

I am blown away by your knowledge on this all. I will definitely need to dedicate a small portion of my yard for something like this next year.

I am growing in FF ocean forest currently maybe I’ll save what I can after harvest and amend it.

Appreciate the info!
