Looking good Koi! They are really starting to move now. How is this years growth compared to that of last year? (Can't remember if we had good or bad weather...)
Beautiful plot of land to grow on. im in the states but have inlaws in stockholm & inlaw grandparents in gislaved. beautiful country and very few over weight people there....
I am amazed everytime I go there how clean and preserved the country is. excellent pike fishing in the lakes there too. I think the swedish inlaws have another name for pike though...lol
JohnnyToke, thank you for the kind words. I am not sure I think Sweden is such a wonderful place as you think. The grass is always greener on the other side.
h20, they are snail/slug blockers. since the plants are standing in a wet area, there are a lot of snails there. They are real murderers.
You should set out to kill all the "murder snails" by taking a few and kill them, cut them up and poison them and there buddies will come eat them, die and there buddies will eat them and so on. They don't belong in our fauna anyway and it will only affect that specific speices. I read that some norwegian guy developed this method, you use a common snail poison I don't remember the name.
A smoker in Sweden always looks at the greener grass in our fellow european countrys I belive. Where you don't get picked up by police in the middle of the street for minimal drug use suspicion such as wrong hair style or just red eyes, to pee in a cup. I look at it as political suppression and are working on moving away from Sweden.
Well Koi, lets buy our collective farm in Spain once and for all and move.
Time for another update, now the growth speed are finally beginning to increase.
I think I started a little too late this year, but I will atleast get a decent harvest from those plants.
Most of the plants are beginning their flowering cycle now.
Im impressed by your project.But since Im an intrested newbe with limited knowledge in these matters I hope I can ask some questions without offend you.
You said in the last post that they started their flower period.So I have to ask if its about the same time as last year?
Have you allways used the same strains or you tried some others to?
Its an extreme climate up here, so its good to know if you also had any big problems with frost earlier? Or is this the ultimate strains (Typhoon and Swestar) for these Latitudes to avoid it?
This is my second year growing Thyphoon. And the first year I have implemented other genetics to the grow. That is mainly to try to evolve the strain a little.
Last year the most early flowering plant started to bloom in May.
It was a friend of mine who had planted them in small pots in his glassed balcony. He didn't have the time to take care for them, so I planted them outside.
Then I bought seeds from the same strain and began germinating them in like end of may, beginning of june.
I cut the plants quite early last season, because of heavy rain falls which made some plants moldy. So I had to cut them.
The Swestar, I don't know if it even is a good strain. Just traded some seeds with a guy.
But in this latitude many of the danish strains still works. So you don't really need AF here, just an extremely early flowering strain.
Time for a picture update.
These pictures were taken today, it has gone six days since the last pictures were taken.
I had planned on taking a lot more pictures, but the camera battery ran out of electricity.
Almost all of the plants have shown their sex now. There are maybe 3-6 who hasn't.
These young frogs/toads are exactly everywhere on my spot. Thousands of them. You can't take a step without killing atleast one of them.
It feels good to have them there, they will take care of any evil plant munchers.
These pictures were taken last night.
6 days since the last update.
Some of the plants have (K) deficiency, can I fix it with Gypsum, because I haven't found any garden-lime or dolomite lime anywhere.
And what would happend if I left them with the deficiency?
Almost all plants have started to flower now, except the late planted Danskpot x unkown, Low Afghani x KLET and 2-4 Dieselryder or Lowryder.
The AF ones will mature anyhow, I just hope the non auto flowering strains will get ripe in time.
I found several intruders and some excrements that belongs to a badger according to a friend.
Ants munching pollen.
Aphids eating a male plant. And some other bug.
The supposed badger shit, take notice on it's diet, mainly cherrys.
