So these 3 are of Shiva. This last pic is the 1st one I took , in this pic I am holding back Olympia from getting into the frame. Although Shiva is tall . As the two either side of her have been LST'd. Shiva was left to her own more or less ( minimal bending and training) . Thus Shiva is the smaller of the 3 on the wall'O'weed.
Should still be a good yeild tho .

A few close pics of Shiva...

A few pics of Gaia now ... Just popped back out to grab a few pics . I estimate couple more weeks , maybe 3 .

Starting to brown off .

Gaia's little flowers, swelling , browning and frosting .

Shiva , has a way to go before catching up with Gaia. However she will be the taller of the two Lemon Cake .
One more pic of Shiva followed by Bonsai and Olympia.

As I'm busy for the next few days , I'm going to be doing a little bit every day.
Today I was able to start tackling the penetration (permeation) . Both Olympia and Shiva have had a wee little small caning today . More to follow tomorrow.

Shiva here has been freed up from Olympia's shadow . However now she is leaning on Bonsai. So I'm going to have to swing her top over , a little twist and tie and the branches caned.

Olympia is more or less in her final position... I just need to manipulate the branches out . Some canes went in earlier and lower branches tethered.

Rain again .

Today should be the last of the rain

️ for at least a week or so

and actually some warmth Thursday
Been pretty busy and not well last few days, sorry I haven’t messaged you back

Those lemon cake buds are swelling up nicely, should be a nice little early yield

We all get those days mate. Oh good some warmth, both me and my girls prefer the warmth.
Yeah the buds are swelling, sugar leaves are shiny and the slugs are leaving Gaia alone ( about time too ) .
I'm sort of about in your neck of the woods today).
Maybe I could pop over and check out your girls with my own eyes , get a better grasp of their size ... Coz I'm sure they'll look a lot bigger with the naked eye .
I know my girls look huge , until I take a pic and then they don't get the same impact .
Anyhow all looking good . :tiphat:

Still some more to do to the girls in regards to the penetration. However I've managed to clear the ground to the right of Bonsai as that space is needed to stretch her out .
I have to manipulate some of the outside ones , behind and in front of Shiva . As Shiva was the one being starved of light . I chose to concentrate on her first and shape Olympia and Bonsai around Shiva.
I was hoping to avoid removing any growth in order to get the max yield . Yet there is a lot of new growth on the 2outside edge girls. I may just have to remove fans from lower self sustaining clones . Which will let a fair bit more light in .

Some pics of what was and what is .

Kree73 · Aug 9, 2023

Got some early morning pics of Gaia this morning, as I was gently shaking her branches to relieve her of the water sat on her . A snail fell from her underside . Those sneaky , slimy

.
Anyways it's pic time .

Not long now .

The wall'O'weed is ...

As you can see . It's taken over , there is a shady spot there . However throughout the day the sun moves over them all . It's still quite low coming over the fence if you wish...

Accidentally snapped one of Gaia's branches last week . So a cheeky early smoke .

I'm thinking next couple days . Maybe even today, she will be cut 'n' trimmed.

With the branch last week and one yesterday found hanging . There is just 5 branches left .

Kree73 · Aug 13, 2023

So I've started cutting Gaia down . I have done 3 of her 5 branches she had remaining.

The bit I have tried is quite tasty . On trimming there is almost a sherberty smell . The lemon carries through into the smoke . I will check my taste buds against the last bit that is drying. So in about a week or so I will roll one and feedback .
