Weekly Update Week 15:
This week was Beautiful, Highs in the 80s lows in the 60s and low humidity. In the greenhouse the plants of Critical Kush and whatever the other beast is are getting out of hand. I have the one I'll just call "The Beast" bent over at a 90 degree angle and keep training it. I have done a try at super cropping too but may have broke a few branches. Hope they heal. I made a MacGyvers scrog on Bruce Banner with TSDs help.Thanks a lot!!! Hope that helps keep that one a little stealthy cause delivery people can see that one. Gelato Dream #3 is now 6 feet tall. The rest look very healthy. I only had to hand water once this week. No wilt but the ground is getting dry again. Rain is expected in the upcoming days. Getting ready to harvest a tree of tart cherries

Weekly Update Week 16:
Been a warm week mostly in the 80s. There was some good rain at the beginning of the week. Have not had to water anything this week. The plants in the greenhouse are out of control and I have taken some drastic Measures. i pinched a couple branches. Did some super cropping on some and bent over as many as i could. All the others are growing well and color looks great so I think the soil is good. The tallest is at 80 inches today. Sorry about the goofy pic of the plant and I but i just got out of the pond and figured nobody wanted to see that.

Rockin and rollin like always! King of the explosive growth!
I got to get on your level I'm way off!
Would that no watering technique work in a bed or is that only recommended for stuff planted into the ground? I guess if you aren't watering the green house either than a raised or contained bed will work?
Am I understanding right you aren't watering anything?

Every year is different. This year when I first went into the ground from pots I had to water everyday cause we did not get any rain for 3 weeks. Since then I have not had to water at all. Now the greenhouse is a raised bed and I had to water that a few times cause I dries out quicker and shares its moisture with peppers cabbage carrots and such but if we get an inch of rain a week I don’t touch it. This week I went camping and it was fine. I go camping in late summer for 2 weeks and nobody looks after them.

Looking great! I think you should just lose the scribbling over yourself... just do various poses next to all your plants after your post pond dips... we can make it into a swimsuit calendar geared towards the older stoner lady demographic... "Farmer Dave's Frolicking Flower Fun 2024 Calendar."

Spent a bunch of time today tucking ,bending and cutting in the greenhouse today. Going to be a pain in my rear this year. The strains were suposed to be short but nothing is in this raised bed of compost. basically growing in hundreds of gallons of my compost You can see on the side view the shadow of the plants. by the end it looks like they will take up half of the greenhouse

Weekly Update 4 Months:
Have received rain this week. Noticing Yellow lower fan Leaves . I may give them some Epson salts if it gets more progressive. I sprayed all the plants with Montery Horticultural oil as a preventative measure. This coming week i will spray Regalia on them. I may start defoliating the bottom leaves this week especially the scrog. The greenhouse is till a problem i keep bending any shoot that comes over the netting i made.

Update Week 18 7/15:
Been a warm and wet week. The plants show all the rain we got with a lot of growth and it is too soon for the flower stretch i think. The Tallest Gelato dream is 8 ft now. Somehow when we got 3 inches of rain the other night the rain went thru the insect screen hard and snapped some branches in the greenhouse. Baffles me cause i would think the screen would be more protection. Been spraying my GG4 clone with silver to make some feminized seed with the clones Mother.

Weekly update , Week 19:
Temps about 80 all week with plenty of sun and a few storms. If I was 10 miles north I probably wouldnt have any plants as they got hit with softball hail which is very rare for here. I know of people personally that had cars just trashed. The plants have put on a lot of growth this week. The greenhouse continues to be a concern. Bent over stems touching the top. The super croppers would be proud of me. My problem plant is the Cheese plant . I think it is russet mites. waiting to spray a second time and hope it takes care of it. I believe my Starduster plant is low on magnesium so I gave it cal mag because im out of epsom salts Bruce Banner scrog needs to be cleaned out underneath the top. Also the greenhouse needs to be defoliated.

Wow....nice stuff, I only wish I could do half of that...my weather doesn't cooperate with my wishes, I've grown the GG and the Sour D , If the SD stretches outside like it does inside you'll need another 6 ft wire mesh to support it........You have a nice spot there, you've done something right to get what you have...nice work man...

Here I go with another Weekly Update Tired of them yet? Oh well too bad Ha Ha. Week 20:
This week I sprayed again for Russet Mite which i believe i have on The Cheese strain. I have sprayed all twice so far and plan to spray again this coming week.
Also this week I have been busy defoliating bottom leaves and useless stems underneath. The wife cleaned up the greenhouse so that is getting more manageable. Also i had a clone of the GG4 which i sprayed colloidal silver on for the last 3 weeks and now has plentiful male flowers which i plan to pollinate a branch of the GG4 to create a lot of feminized seeds . We have had our share of rain this week. Hoping the nutrition of my beds hold up. Looking good so far except the sour deisel x ms universe and starduster which are in not so ideal soil as the rest. May have to do some supplementing there.

Weekly Update Week 21:
Weather this week was another great one ,Highs around 80 lows about 60.Plenty of sun. I was listening to the podcast" Growcast" about potassium and decided to top dress some to make sure i have plenty available coming into flowering. the problem with the cheese plant is almost gone . If they were russet mites they are gone. I sprayed a third time with the Monterey Horticultural oil just in case there where any lurking around . Still waiting to see flowering in full mode. A few hairs is all i see. was hoping to see a bunch to do some pollenating before i leave for 2 wks. The timing is not quite right. Hope not too much gets seeded in the greenhouse as that is where the male is residing when im gone The pollen sacks are still tight but alot can happen in 2 wks. So far the best looking to me is the Bruce Banner tall scrog . The tall Gelato Dream #3 has slowed down a little at 9ft. Going to spray some lactobacillus that @stonemason help me make this week.

Hey FarmerDave! So what was the final solution as far as your pest problems? I read that you used some monterey horti oil and some other spray but which of the those was most effective? I want to know what I'll need next year when I do an outdoor grow.

it appears 3 applications a week apart of Monterey horticultural oil did the trick for the russet mites. Last year it was 2 apps of sulfur that took care of it.You can not do both cause it will burn the plants so it has to be one or the other. the reason i went to the oil this year was because it is also labeled for powdery mildew and botrytis and other insects too. Oh and it does have the organic certification too.

Yes, This podcast i listen to had an interview with a expert on bugs and diseases that i used to follow when working in the greenhouse business and she recommended it I gave it a try. so far so good. They say you can use it in flower but i do not use anything in flower Also if you have used sulfur already you cant use it
