Got a free plant at HD yesterday - it was sitting in a basket with a few other plants in the returns! Removed as much of the dirt I could and replanted in a bonsai mix, palm/cactus mix and some local decomposed granite, cleaned all the dead leaves and ends off and topped with tiny river pebbles.
Before and after. Ponytail Palm

So, I did a LOT more defoliation yesterday on African Buzz and Critical Cali Mist. I tried to rig up a scrog net but wasn’t able to get into the corners of the enclosure. I was only able to hook up some yo-yo’s to try and keep them directly off of the screen and so I could get in between the two plants… they were monsters! Once I tied up some of the branches, it showed me that I needed to make some air flow in the canopy.
Today I do the same thing to the 2 GF’s

Finished the defol on he two GF’s
The elder deer that we named “Grandpa” was hanging around closely to Flint this whole week… along with Grandpa’s ‘keeper’. We really do believe that the younger ‘keeper’ has been assigned to Grandpa to help keep him safe as he doesn’t move around well any more. The ‘Keeper’ was just out of camera to the right of the water barrel.

The later it gets in the season the more I envy your enclosure.
The plants look amazing. I hope I have a keeper one day. I could have used one in my 20’s…30’s…or 40’s.

Not much news on the grow front. I found a few more thrips during an inspection but it was very minor out of all the leaves I scoped, I only found 4 leaves with one single thrip on each and they were very young ones so I’m wondering if the lizards and frogs are catching the bigger ones…
Here’s a few bud pics (in order African Buzz, Critical Cali Mist, GF #1, and GF#2
Still fighting the heat here but it’s supposed to be low 90’s today and tomorrow then into high 80’s…
Gave them all a good soaking with aloe water and a bit of labs. They’ll get sprayed tomorrow for the thrips.
My Cultivator Assistant looking quite seriously at me.
And here’s hubby on the orchard ladder… give a nice perspective of the plant’s size.
