OK-
Just like the rest of you I can hardly get enough of everyone’s pics and following the journals.
I watered this morning and they were looking so photogenic, I had to do another shoot. This is all overhead shots.
Another day in electric lady land. I pinched a few lower leaves off that didn’t look so hot. Ordered some litmus test strips to finally check my pH. I saw in pic P3210011 that the timer had a 30 minute ON period set in the middle off the off cycle. I must’ve done that when I moved the tray this morning.
How have you been?
Thanks. I just took a 5 minute breather from work down there and they’re looking a little root bound and some of the fresh growth is starting to come in a little stunted and older growth is yellowing and dying. I was trying to wait until 4/1 t transplant but it looks like as soon as they dry out a little from yesterday’s watering they’re movin’ on up to 1 gallons. I think I’ll try little B1 dust on the root ball.
I would love to do an experiment and leave a couple ladies “a la natural” during the entire grow. Unfortunately I don’t have 2 examples of any 1 strain, so there’s no valid control subject. Bah-I will do it anyway with 2-3 of them just to see how much difference specific feeding and care makes versus just watering. One of them is promised to a lightweight user so maybe she can have one of those. ha ha ha
Yeah, I hear you, always something to do…
I am busy like hell, spring time is coming with vengeance and I have more that just my MJ project going on…plus the snow was quite merciful, covered a lot of sins which now all are to be taken care of…
My MJ is growing well , slow but no issues, I gave each a couple of cups of my special rabbit tea, they love it…
Rabbit manure is superior to anything out there, that includes specially designed nutes for plants…
Rabbits have it all, from A to Z…
I know you busy too…
Oh yeah. The virtues of rabbit manure. I’ve kept rabbits in the past in CT and in 1985 I planted a garden at a new place we rented. It turned out to be some of the most fertile soil ever. Later that season, my new neighbor told me the previous occupants kept rabbits in a hutch located right over the spot where I chose to plant.
We only lived there for a couple of years but that was some of the most fertile soil I’ve ever encountered.
The more recent experience was between 2008-2011. My ex kept a pair of Flemish Giants as pets. I’d just as soon eat them, but boy they sure do produce some high quality fertilizer.
We’re looking at some of Will Bonsal’s approaches toward green manure and will adopt them if they produce results. Will is a locally renowned organic farmer who practices the self sufficiency he preaches. Independence from the corporate food chain and income tax seem to be his main motivations.
He and Molly live a life rich with simplicity and free of convenience. Convenience is completely overrated and rarely worth compromising the quality results of DIY.
We’re still expecting more snow here over the next few days and then again next week. It’s not uncommon for it to blanket a fresh planting of spinach as late as mid April. I just need it to go away so the ground can thaw and we can direct sow some greens.
Keep smiling.
Have a good time all the time Viv Savage
It was referenced in Robert’s blog with no link. How are people going to know if someone doesn’t point them in the right direction? The guideposts are there just fewer people then ever know where to find them.
##Movin on up!
Well I got ambitious this morning and took the last 1:45 transplanting the DownEast 12 into 1 gallons, cleaning it up and fine tuning the lighting and wind.
Still looks peaceful to me @Ragnar
But yeah if your not ready for it I’d imagine it could be a problem for you brother but that’s part of the lifestyle right lol
