Dutch Passion LemonZ have been outside for 73 days. No sign of flower yet. Feeding once a day, at 2:30 after they start to droop, to stress them a bit (MegaCrop 1-part 2.5 g/GL). I lost my cheap-o pH tester somewhere, so I'm just adding 6 ml of pH-lower once when I mix the 20 GL rez. That used to get pH down to 5.7 when I was measuring it, and it creeps up to 6.5 by the time the rez is finished 5 days later. The pH chart somebody posted a while back showed that some minerals are best absorbed at pH below 5.8, and some above 6.2 (in coco), so I hope as the pH creeps up all the good stuff will have a chance to get taken in. I will order another Milwaukee pH600 soon if the old pH pen doesn't turn up.

See you in six months! Haha, just kidding, see you in five and a half months...
 
:smokeout:-- A quick news flash mates: In the Grow Journals section I've rebooted the Outdoor Growing subforum - :digit:
It was marooned in the Organics section.... :doh:
So if anybody is of a mind to run an OD journal, now there's a fresh space! I know most folks may already have other(s) going and it's a PITA to be posting in multiple places, but it needed to be done regardless...

BBL, time to go visit and service some ladiez....:pimp:
 
back online, finally, but for how long? Viasat internet totally problematic this far north, any weather and I'm offline. I have Starlink ordered, everyone up here says way better. Late with update.
The gh has filled up, hard to take any pics in there, crowded.

I have the Bluemat meter in there and the bed is performing really nice and retaining moisture very well in this summer weather.
That's a nice little setup! :headbang: :pass:

The farmer in me says you need to plant some cover crop! A nice mix of seeds, but heavy in legumes that are inoculated...... Hairy vetch and various clovers. You keep it managed during the grow, but let it go towards the end for some of the legumes to go to seed.
If you like that location and your girls do good, after your harvest you can plant some hairy vetch with some Lbon rye. The rye acts as a mother crop and protects the vetch throughout the winter time. The Rye will have an extensive top growth, but it has a large root system that adds quite a bit of vegetative matter. A winter cover crop What's one of the main methods in my Soil building I did for my garden at my old farm. That's sandy soil I had ate up carbon like crazy, but within a few years. it changed into a very fertile soil. But with sandy soil it's a never ending fight. You have to keep adding carbon!
