Aprox, 39°N & 900 metres high.

Maximum temperatures in the shade, after a refreshing rain from the north over the weekend, have dropped by 10 to 15 °C: from daily 40 to 45 °C (104 to 113 °F), we are now in the heavenly 30 to 35 °C (86 to 95 °F).
But I am afraid that the AEMet predicts a return to 40 °C (104 °F) by the end of the week.

first of all wow, your plants are beautiful.😍
and I thank you very much for your advice, so I will fatten them well. I was afraid to do it because I had read that she liked poor soils. but your return is worth gold.
I hope for a good harvest, to delight the community with pretty photos

I've been talking with North Indians a bit about their soil and the testing that's been done on some of these Himalayan plants. I've noticed some of them have very blue leaves. Their soil is naturally low in phosphate and magnesium if I remember correctly. I've noticed when I gave these two nutrients to my plants they really took off. Doesn't have to be a huge amount. We were also talking about carotenoid production. They were saying all the plants in the Malana Valley from Nirang to Waichin show this. They get a pink blush at the tips of the leaves, the petioles, and the stalk. It's not a deficiency, it's an adaptation to the high altitude, the varieties from lower valleys don't show this.

Purple Hindu Kush

Wow Mr Rye, she's the spitting image of my one purple Hindu Kush x M10 that takes after the purple Hindu Kush. Same tall upright bushy structure, medium size leaves, and blush on the petioles. If yours smells half as good as mine, or vice versa, it must smell amazing. Mine is sweet and the branches and stalk shimmer with crystalized resin. Check out mine.

I think aluminum sulfate (?) also boosts a blue hue when applied to acidify flower beds.

What's their aluminum content in their soils?

(*Side-note: I believe it was h.h. who informed me and others in a conversation with slownickel a couple years back that perlite has a fairly stout aluminum punch in it, something like 11% to 14% if I recall correctly).

Todas mostraron sexo hace tiempo (incluida la pequeñita de MadMac que no puede verse.

King Congo (como siempre que la cultivé antes), mostró sexo con poco más de un mes, y empezó a florecer en cuanto los días empezaron a perder minutos. Creo que es una especie de semifloración que a veces he leido reportada de algunos ejemplares de ambos parentales (Congo Point Noire x South African Ciskei). Pero hasta que no llegue Septiembre, es una floración muy lenta, y esta variedad no la he recogido antes nunca (el feno más temprano) de el 15-Noviembre.

En el caso de la Flash Back (Flo x White Widow), es la primera vez que la cultivo.
Ha empezado a florar posteriormente a la King Congo, pero ya la ha adelantado pues su velocidad de floración es la de los hibridos con buena carga indica.

Las otras dos, solo muestran sexo.

Como nuestra latitud y clima son muy parecidos, casí seguro que es por genética: ya verás que con la misma esdad y tamaño, Zamaldélica solo muestra los pistilos que indican femineidad.


They all showed sex a long time ago (including MadMac's little one that can't be seen).

King Congo (as always when I've grown it before), showed sex at just over a month old, and started flowering as soon as the days started to lose minutes. I think it's something like the semi-flowering that I've sometimes read reported from some specimens of both parents (Congo Point Noire x South African Ciskei). But until September arrives, it is a very slow flowering, and I have never picked this variety before (the earliest pheno) from 15-November.

In the case of Flash Back (Flo x White Widow), this is the first time I have grown it.
It has started flowering later than King Congo, but it has already overtaken it as its flowering speed is that of hybrids with a good indica load.

The other two only show sex.

As our latitude and climate are very similar, it is almost certainly due to genetics: you will see that at the same age and size, Zamaldélica only shows the pistils that indicate femininity.
Thanks, i was with fear, normally here the skunks first to show the sex end of July but this year are just stretching.
It's possible are late for the heat wave?

Well they are all looking pretty good now, plants are all 8 to 9ft. Still don't have the fill out of previous years, but that is the late start ( seeds started first week of May) and the late start to summer. I decided to go really light on amendments this year and have not really given them any supplemental feeding. Also watering much less frequently, maybe once every 4 days, even during heat waves. Shows we often give them too much love, and they really only need a little help along. Helps that they have a 12yr base of no till.

Naturally occuring zeolite, whether added, or present in native soil, also carries aluminum. That was why I asked, more so than the side-note re. perlite. The original conversation between the folks referenced involved the use of zeolite, and presence of aluminum..

The memory re. aluminum sulfate and the blue hue imparted, had to do with ornamental flowers, and acidifcation of flower beds with the aluminum sulfate.

Hey everyone, hope you’re all well.
Look what’s turned up. These are seeds gifted to me from Bradley Danks and it even cost him $50 US to send them to me, ultra stealth, as per my requirements. These centrifuges are absolutely full of hard work.
We started chatting last year when I was keeping him updated as to the progress of the Jagerschnitzel x Ancient OG f4’s, l grew out, that were a freebie from Schrews....great plants btw.
This is what’s turned up:
Jagersnitzel x Layer Cake
Jagerschnitzel x Royal Highness
Jagerschnitzel x Cherry Chem
Platinum Jager
Jagerschnitzel x Lambrusco
Lambrusco x Donnie Burger
Lambrusco x Forbidden Fruit.
He tells me the Jagerschnitzel x Lambrusco are the stand outs so far in his garden and flower early. The Lambrusco x Forbidden Fruit is really vigourous and Layer Cake is “super vigourous.”
I’ve still got around five weeks before I pop seeds and I’m not sure which ones I’m going to showcase, or how many spots I’ve got to offer; while on the other side of the world, Bradley’s still got quite a few weeks of flower to go before he makes his final recommendations based on what happens with these crosses but for now I’m feeling very happy and grateful to be given such a beautiful gift......l love acts of kindness and it reminds me that it really does pay to be nice.
Cheers,
40.

Aluminium also gets carried out of the soil after it binds to calcium.

Hey Chilliwilli,
I’m not sure if you remember over at Tang’s “cob” thread last year l asked for requests as to how to deal with some dry sift. Your suggestion was to put it in the freezer for years.....well here it is after a year and a half....not much change yet..
As requested,

Bringing it back to the anything outdoor subject, although it's a little embarrassing to post my little plants next to all these beautiful trees haha but the predator part might be interesting for some.

My maple leaf mom is on her 15th day of forced flower.

The crazy western wind that comes from the Sahara desert (we call it poniente) made the RH fall to 20% and brought with it a bump in spidermite population, so I ordered a persimilis+californicus combo, and some pollen to try and develop a californicus population in the near plants.
IMG_20220818_121023.jpg


This is the first time this year I saw an actual infestation begin. The insect hotels I installed last year in my olive trees are full and there's a lot of activity surrounding the plants, which I assume has helped prevent an infestation so far. I am yet to spray anything this year.
IMG_20220818_123313.jpg


The little sativas are finally in their final pots. The older ones just started their forced flower. The smaller ones will go into flower in a week or so. Hoping for as little stretch as possible for stealh purposes.

Wasps and bees are always in their vecinity because there's always some water for them.

Learning a lot about my garden's ecosystem this year. I am going all in with the predator shit hahaha :D
