A Garden Of Goodies

Day 19:

Things are going fine. 3 of 4 Stone Dragons have shown female, also the Blackberry did a couple days ago. Would like to pot up a dragon but I'm waiting on the next batch of soil to cook another week.

I know it's going to cost me yield by waiting but I was unable to get the batch started when I would've liked. Thankfully I have no worries about yield or running out of meds.

The plants on the right are a bit unhappy with the fan, and showing what looks like calcium def. I think it's due to ph difference between the topsoil and bottom layer, inconsistency with ph of water going in, probably a slew of things. The fan is contributing though because the 2 Stone Dragons on the left of the tent seem basically unaffected.

Here's those 2 dragons, sorry blurry pic:

Here's the Blackberry and the Ripley's OG :

Yepper, agreed. I'm starting to LST a few of them, I'll be getting after that fat Dragon too.

Thanks for stopping by, Eyes

Spreading them out a bit. The Dragons are still a bit stocky and compact--need a little more growth to make bending easier.

I threw out one of them, and also the purple kush to keep plant numbers down. The PK had always been funky, and I noticed the smell from the top was very weak as well, no weed smell, more like lettuce greens in the produce aisle. I'm more confident in the medicinal quality of the Dragons.

This is day one for Muay Thai :

The fabric pouches are for watermelons that will go out in the garden, I didn't get them to germ last time so I soaked new seeds, soaked the Thai as well -- I usually just plant straight away.

Some plants are clawing slightly, too much EWC in the soil methinks. Current batch cooking I added less. I might consider flushing/washing g them out if it gets bad but seems okay for now.

Have a good weekend AFN.

Dragons are looking frumpy, I think over watered last time. Trying to tuck leaves but especially difficult on the one in the middle, growth is so compact and stocky. The fan leaf stems are very short and fat so they won't move much. I'm going to go ahead and raise the panel on that side of the tent.

Should have soil ready for them to transplant in a couple days. Sucks to wait, I know.

Here's the Ripley's OG and the Blackberry :

Getting crowded in there. Was hoping to get them outside already but we have another cool front on the way, will have a couple lows at 44 and 46 F. Once that passes they need to get out! Gonna be another 7 or 8 days. I'll have to do some rearranging in there ....

Going well. Ripley's OG is smushed against the tent door a bit. Dragons look a little better than before, I need to pot them up tonight.

I've just been putting unadjusted tap water in the octopot reservoirs for the Blackberry and Ripley's. The leaves look pretty good. The branches are all 12" tall.

I finally got to potting up the Dragons tonight. They really needed it. I decided to bury them into 5 gal pots and hand water them.

This batch of soil had a little less worm castings than the first. I cut it down to 25% strength. I think I can get them looking happier after they settle in a few days. They really need to stretch out a bit so I can open them up.

Cold weather days ahead with some highs around 60 to 65 and cool nights, some rain as well. They'll go outside as the month ends.
