Hopalong's 2025 organic outdoor ventures

@Budbrother He is not local, his operation is in Thailand at the moment… I didn’t dilute at all! I sprayed all the plants with it, only four are showing these symptoms…

I should perhaps spray with water asap?

Went to give some midnight snack of silica for the older plants… And here I was thinking of scrapping them all because of the cold beginning.

Strawberry Banana is the biggest:


And some others:



Fotos were taken just a few minutes before midnight, this is as dark as it gets now…

All going ok, could be 10c warmer though…

Maybe take a couple indoors for some flowering? They are in 5g pots so no issue to carry them.

Greenhouse is starti g to explode…

There is now some fungal growth on the mulch straw, these must be from the jadam stuff. So this a good thing @Budbrother or am I screwing something up..?

I have a loyal guardian looking after my babies. It’s usually always there if the sun is out.

@Happyday420 These vipers are the only venomous snakes here. I usually have very little mecy on them as they can be deadly for my dog and are found sometimes on our yard.

Now in my special garden I have so far given these a pass in the hopes they keep the moles in check under my plants. I have always some root damage due to moles.

I hope they appreciate this and don’t bite me…

I would either have to do away with them or plant me some new plants. I just cant… :joy: but i bet you’re right, if the moles are smart, they would stay far away. :facepunch:

After a rainy night and day I moved all the potted plants out in the open to catch some wind.

Strawberry Banana is soon the biggest autoflower I have grown. The pot is a 5G pot for size referencing..

Ok, I didn’t remember outdoor being SO challenging… Now I have an infestation of really small snails(or slugs you call them?).

Also had to remove quite a few moldy buds from the oldest plants.

I wonder if the snails like the chilli-garlic spray if I make some?

Damn this summers weather has been bad. Today rained the whole day, tonight and tommorrow is a storm coming and some rain forecasted for at least every other day.

I took most of the potted plats to safety, some in the greenhouse and directed a fan on full blast on them, then filled up both my tents too. I have to try to salvage what I can!

@Budbrother Sadly we have none or very few American products when it comes to fetrilizers or chemicals etc…

I heard some people put copper tape around the stem of the plant to prevent them crawling up the plant..
