Okay pics as of today all plants at day 139
Think Fast is a big girl!! Measuring with some branches exceeding 6 feet in height, she is doing really well, but we have ran into a problem, hopefully one that will be fixed soon. It would see the continuous wet we have been experiencing has turned some of the trunk into a water saturated sponge. Quite concerning, as the branches are crazy thick and the winds can be relentless sometimes so we all the strength we can muster! At the advice of
@Waira (thanks again man), I am going to try using some powdered sulfur made into a paste to kill fungal activity and draw moisture out of the spongy areas.
Preflowering
Think Fast Main Stalk- the wet dark looking areas just up left the lighter is the problem area the most.
Durban POison...no problems really at all with this plant, except for the mysterious yellowed branch. Despite the very fibrous rigid branches of this plant, the Tornado type winds the other day actually folded a branch tip(just the tip around a foot from the very tip on the windy side) and snapped it! Seriously strong winds they were. Very nice strong trunk on the Durban...only a single branch was I worried about at all so I staked it that incredibly windy day.
And the Frisian Duck! This plant was actually on the windiest side of the windstorm...and she took it the best out of all plants, stepping out with no damage from either the rain, nor the wind. One branch likely would have broken if I didn't go out that day and add additional stakes(there was a branch seam "split" just barely) Sorry about the pic, light was all wrong
And finally the most beaten of the lot...the blueberry. Lost a few branches and 2 are holding on for dear life...been scouring her popcorn flowers over closely and not hermy signs, so far, so good. Pretty wild, with the missing branches it almost looks like 3-4 different smaller plants in the pic if you ignore the trunk in the center of the pic.
The "Hole covered to help shield off the rain the other day from running into the "hole" and causing stem/root rot.
I keep the "hole" covered with some plastics when it rained the other day, which kept 20ml of rain from filling the hole and causing rot problems. Even still there is a bit of rot started on the edges of the "hole".
