@Waira
@Shiva's Mistress stay ahead of the supplemental feeding. I like something with 4-15-15 or around that and start giving them teas and top dressing at preflower.

Thanks for the pointers, MasonJarOG.
I've just been looking into NPK ratios, so this 4-15-15 figure is helpful.
They all showed sex back in spring, but I honestly have no idea when they'll hit 'preflower'.
I guess I'll just not the change in branching, building flower structure, etc., and take that as 'preflower.'
Thanks!
 
Dug 13 holes today, no pics as it got dark.
I took a head torch, thinking I was gonna get 20 holes dug no matter what!
Turns out 13 holes in 5 hours is plenty, my body was telling me "go home and eat some food", so that's what I did!
The holes are about 20 Liters in size and once I got 8" down the clay soil, turned to 100% clay.
There is some nice moisture down there but no water logging.
Next visit,there will be just another 7 holes to dig.
After that I will mix the clay soil and coco (containing additives and amendments) together and fill the bag pots and put them in the holes.
The seedlings are coming on nicely in the tent, there are 30 to choose from, so there will be 10 spare, for planting somewhere else, maybe?
Not long now and there will some outdoor pictures, thank god they are autos and won't take too long until harvest.

The potatoes actually seemed to appreciate the super crop.....as I say...too little too late....:smoker:...but it was fun while it lasted...

I wonder what it will do to the tattie crop.....:biggrin:

The girls in the big pot are enjoying a cucumber sandwich....:biggrin:


The males have been removed after a small sprinkle....:condom:.... hoping for 20 seed for a F3 backcross...to germinate over winter...to remove any Colours........:smoker:


The Lucky Dips I grew in with the tatties got their last hurrah...:biggrin:...I can't resist a plant that really Tries.
I stuck them in some new compost.....and got a sporadic germ...sooo...

I filled their storage jar with water for a 24 hour soak to give them a headstart.. threw them in the sporadic pot...and it looks like we have Life....

All in all...a reasonable week.....:headbang:


What about the rest of you......?...…...
 
Day 105 short update

Went to water, knowing girls will be thirsty, 'cos it's hot here in July!
They were wilting quite a lot.
It's about 35C high each day, that's 95F for you Americans.

Long story short:
Found three large polystyrene boxes, about 30L, 40L and 60L.
Made holes in the side about 1" up, meaning it'll keep some water in the bottom, like a hempy bucket.
Put the three pots in those, and watered them again.
Then found some amazing black gold -- natural aged compost at the back of these apartments.
And filled in the extra space in the boxes.
As I use cloth pots, the roots might grow through into the whole box, almost doubling their potential root space.

Very happy outcome to a difficult situation of maintaining water levels in mid-summer.
Next few weeks will be challenging, but then the rains will kick in to help water for me.
August rainfall is double July, so is September.

These big boxes and local natural black gold compost for the win!

Tried to upload a pic but it's too big... next time... or check my journal for details.
 
Ok new laptop so a bit smoother now :biggrin:

This is the first summer in 12 years where i just haven't been jazzed up growing the medicine. More excited about the garlic n taters than the medicine for some reason. It's not like i need more jars for awhile. And we made up about 8 pounds of coco butter that we froze.
So happy growing all. There are some outstanding grows going on this year, more than i've seen in the time i've been here. So me hat is off to you all :toke:

Oh an de strawberry harvest was good as well. Pic of the last harvest of em

I'd love to see a pic with the medicine and cherries or strawberries together.
We ate the strawberries.. the last of em this year :mrgreen: Now it's cherries and raspberry time, then plumbs n figs and blackberries :toke:
