Spring-Summer Grow -- Maria's Haze Heaven Hacienda!
Day 170: 135V + 35F
Last visit just two days ago.
But wanted to go today because of the wind situation -- had they fallen down again?!
And also to water as I'll be away for quite a few days.
Weather today clouding over, maybe some light rain --- hopefully!
And forecast says maybe some more over the next four days or so.
Got to the site and they were all good.
The water in the pots and the brick plus wooden panels held them down.

Mid: Grail x ThaiFrican girls and L'n'L Jones girl
Right: Grail girl
Hard to guess the height of them, now, as several are leaning a bit after the fall.
The SSSTN may be catching up to the taller Grail x ThaiFrican!
Re-vegged Super Silver Sour Thai Neville ('Sticky' pheno)
Moving along quickly now, good to see.
Maybe she is more of the SSSDH leaning pheno?
Re-vegged Super Silver Sour Thai Neville ('Fluffly' pheno)
She's the delicate looking one.
Maybe a bit more of the 'wild' pheno OJD mentions.
And it does seem that she is a bit slower than the 'Sticky' pheno.
Both these SSSTN ladies have some stretch still left in them.
Grail (fast pheno) x ThaiFrican (medium pheno)
Sorry, that's a terribly unfocused photo, haha!
Lots of cluster buds forming, quite leafy at this point.
Grail (fast pheno) x ThaiFrican (taller pheno)
Queen of the Garden, this girl!
Since the fall, she was leaning heavily to one side.
I propped that heavy brick that's weighing down the pot against her base to keep her upright.
Here's one of her smaller side colas.
The stretch seems effectively finished now.
One Lemon 'n' Lime Jones
I bent her sideways for this pic.
Chunky up in a big way.
Pulling out every little brown or even yellow leaf out of her, as I don't want any nasties in there...
Almost done, maybe just a couple of weeks to go -- end of September should be perfect!
Seven SSSTN x ThaiFrican seedlings
Good news, and bad news.
Seven girls out of seven regular seeds! Wow!
But, means I can't make any seed this round. Oh no!
Re-vegged Grail project (NvHz x Mullumbimby Madness F2) (NLD pheno)
This girl has always been a bit more sensitive.
She's still doing quite well, but just seldom seems to look in full health and vigor.
Still, here's a look at a side cola.
[Edit: I accidentally put in the pic above of the taller Grail x ThaiFrican by mistake. As the original pic is already deleted from my computer, you'll just have to use your imagination.]

Coming along nicely.
Just a little bit slower than the taller Grail x ThaiFrican.
Bats!
Bats, lots of bats.
But due to the time I visited, it was quite dark in there, so no pics, sorry!
A bit of danger on site today.
Just about 5 minutes after I got to the garden, first removing dead and dying leaves,
I heard some voices not far, two people I think.
I thought they might just be workers out by the road, no problem.
But then they really seemed to get close.
I was very sure they were in the alley in front of the apartments.
Just workers, or ... something more dangerous?
I went into ninja mode, and slowly went down the stairs...
On the stairs of the 2nd-3rd floor, I could see a pair of jeans outside this very apartment!
Get ready to move, fast, I thought!!!
But then they turned and left.
After another 5 minutes, it seemed all was safe.
Were they doing a little inspection?
Planning on coming in and cutting the grass, like in spring?
When I left, I walked past the gate, and it had been opened and closed again (lock and chain was sitting differently -- I pay attention!)
Okay, don't panic, just play it safe.
One thing, though, I know that it is possible to flip open the lock and get to the site from the gate now.
Luckily last visit I pulled the plants back from the edge a bit.
You can barely see them from down below now.
Happy growing, my friends.
Stay safe!
Peace and Love,
