Effects of a typhoon that was all wind, no rain,
and five+ days without watering.
Miss Volunteer obviously hit fairly hard,
and the young Hazes look just fine.
I did a little essential oil spray again.
In the full sun.
And crazy wind.
Throw all the stresses at once, I figure.
I can't make it to always spray at dusk regularly in a guerilla grow.
Not possible.
Photos except the last one are when I arrived, before watering.
I watered fairly heavily, slower and small pours.
I used one of the drying laundry bags as a filter over the bucket,
because the pond has a lot of green algae on it these days.
The filter worked quite well, and also made the pour gentler on the medium.
Miss Volunteer also originally had a minor spider mite infestation,
and was looking a bit hungry for N as well.
I did feed with the organic 3-5-5, plus some mycco, higher PK & Ca chicken poop, a dash of dolomite lime, and maybe something in there (kelp powder?)
Though that will obviously take a little time to take effect.
I therefore might make a small batch of Jacks to bring to her.
At least pick up that yellowing from the low N.
She leans south into the sun, like last year.
And then the winds are pushing from the east.
So I have now moved the whole pot 180 degrees.
I've turned her around a couple of times.
Keeps her growing upright more, than flopping to the south.
Quite a nasty hit on this girl.
But we still have a fair bit of time in flower.
Just got to hope no other major incidents.
Meanwhile, these little hazes also just show why the best season here is like June/July or so through to Dec/Jan.
Like last year, the bigger plants get hit very hard by the typhoons and winds.
But the smaller plants are too little to worry.
Happy little Hazes in the sun!
They've been out for a week now, give or take a day.
The two older ones are showing seventh node at the top.
The lower nodes are showing nice signs of secondary growth now too.
I think their earlier small pots helped keeping them tight up to this point.
I thought about topping them.
But there are already three in this pot, and bushy plants will crowd together even more.
They are also leaning south.
One option would be to just gently tie the two older ones back to their corners in the north.
That would open them right up, and those secondaries would just take off, guarantee it.
Though I don't want to tie through that polystyrene box, too fragile already.
So I just ended up 180 degreeing this pot, too.
Another shot after adding the fertilizer and watering, and turning her about face.
These little hazes didn't budge in that typhoon at all.
Mostly because they're small, not necessarily because they're hazes.
Whatever I grow here has to be able to adapt to conditions.
This was a good test.
Live and learn.
Who needs to leaf strip in early flowering when you have typhoons?
