Teaching the Lad . The other week my youngest son , [ 24 ] started showing interest in what I do , -- apart from smoking my weed -- He asked what was I making so I said a flower tea , then he asked all about it and wanted to make it , It made me feel great , out of my 2 sons this boy will end up a good gardener . The other boy is a hunter and fisherman . So I have the best of both worlds in my 2 sons . This was yesterday .

just got my dose of "exotic" for the day!

Seems like I might be onto something here . I think it is going to be worth while spending some time on . -- Turkey soil update --- I'll repost pics .11 days since planted in the soil , I know it is early days yet . Water holding capacity is great without being water logged . When I water I only use Fish pond water not ph'ed as it is around 6. 4 give or take a point or 2 .

This is a Mango Loas . One thing that doe's concern me is nitrogen levels , at this stage the FPW seems to be working -- ok -- @Eyes on Fire @Waira you guys got any thoughts on this . I am thinking this is very close to -- Back to Eden principle .--

and Waira , the little dangly round leaf plants we call a button orchard , but they are not , they have tiny white flowers and hang out of trees and can get real big . Don't know the name of the other plant. I'm afraid I don't take much notice of names . The bromeliad goes a red colour from being in full sun , doe's not hurt the plant , these big fellas are very hardy .

I need to watch closely with my compost mulch, I used to end up over nitroed by the end of the grow. Instead of adding layers of mulch as the soil consumes it, after the initial mulching around transplant time, I've gone to adding fine layers as needed to keep me microbes pumped. As my soil builds over time seems I'm using less additives.

OA are doing great!

 

[Waira]

:smoking: - mate your Bush Bird makes some nice soil! You should thank him with a wormy snack or two- ... and observe the Master, who's been doing Back to Eden style mulching for millions of years-
It looks pretty fluffy Hec', a bit like coco even.... nice!

FPW...? Clue me back in mate...

Laotian beauty!

I love this pic Hec', you snapped a very aesthetically pleasing one right there... great angle to show the symmetry, and the cool flat planer fans leaves with those fabulous lean lady fingers! Hey is this the one that's in the turkey blend?... new pics are lovely too...Color is so rich... Hec' do you think the less intense light is behind their staying in this narrow build?
OA's are gem's mate! Stellar resin production,... do they have that orange peel-like aroma? This grow is showcase stuff mate, Tobe's genetics are so solid, they look like clones! I wonder how the aromatics will vary...

Great to see the lad stepping in deeper now! maybe he can start to help grow instead just smoke- - experience teaches the best! The tea looks delish', nice foamy head on that-

Here's a cool little surprise I found today, sitting in a pot with the hose coiled up,... a baby Gopher Snake... he was a little squirrely to get good pics of!

>>> good cammo'!
