ANYTHING OUTDOOR 2022 EVERYWHERE

[Hashislife]

Si...30°C (86°F)...pero a las 10 de la mañana y a la sombra, je,je... De todas formas, parece que aún tendrás hoy unos 5°C (41 °F) menos que yo hoy, suertudo... Y la cosa esa tan grande, tan azul, y que encima moja, que tienes al ladico, ni la menciono...
Primo que esta semana he visto a varias culebras grandes meterse a bañarse en el agua de los cubos de beber los perros (un suicidio anunciado).
Que bonita va la Mangobiche, por cierto...

Joder, @therevverend... Lo tuyo es ya clima polar... 14°C (57°F) de máxima diurna a la sombra!! ...pero sí creo que Oslo (Noruega) está rozando los 20°C (68°F)?!?... Pues cual es tu mínima nocturna ?!?
Yo te regalaba 15°C con muchísimo gusto, si estuviera en mi mano, y te añadía un soplo de calima sahariana, que te añade otro puñado de °C de cortesía...
Ya hemos alcanzado los 44°C (111'5°F) a la sombra (lo que significan unos 54°C o 129'5°F, bajo el sol...) Y eso durante la primera quincena de Junio, siendo aún primavera...:

Yes...30°C (86°F)...but at 10am and in the shade, heh heh.... Anyway, it looks like you'll still have about 5°C (41°F) less than me today, lucky you... And that big, blue and wet thing next to you, I won't even mention it...
Cousin, this week I have seen several big snakes getting into the water's buckets where the dogs drink (a suicide announced).
How beautiful is the Mangobiche, by the way...

Fuck, @therevverend... Yours is already polar weather... 14°C (57°F) daytime highs in the shade!!!! ...but I do think Oslo (Norway) is getting close to 20°C (68°F)?!?!?.... So what is your night time minimum ?!?!?
I would gladly give you 15°C, if I had my way, and I'd add a breath of Saharan haze, which adds another handful of °C as a courtesy....
We have already reached 44°C (111'5°F) in the shade (which means about 54°C or 129'5°F, under the sun...) And that during the first fortnight of June, while it is still spring...:

...Yo estoy por declararme "refugiado climático", y pedir asilo en Islandia...
...I'm about to declare myself a "climate refugee", and ask for asylum in Iceland...

@Hashislife... (bromeando): Yo también soy castellano, pero como bromean los asturianos, "castellano nuevo, o de los de tierra conquistada", je...

Me temo que mi Zamalmistica si está sufriendo con mi tipo de calor tan seco, por mucho que riegue, pues es muy joven (nació el 19 de Mayo).

A mi se me murió casi todas mis plantas que plante en marzo en principio de mayo, la temperatura hizo 18°/0°/30°, vivo en un valle o hay un microclima, mas seco y mas calor que el resto de la región, y muchas tormentas, el año pasado caio granizos tamaño bala de tennis. lo bueno aquí es que las plantas se recogen 10 días antes que en los otros lugares. No te voy a mentir no entiendo porque dicen eso los asturianos, soy francés, aunque vivo aquí desde 8 años

Mr. @Montuno, I have the water from the pool that looks like a jacuzzi, the plants in the sun and in pots turn punky, look and you will see how the leaves are curled to protect themselves...
They say it will cool

@Karma G sowahh , with curvy leaves

7 Bigger Seedlings, 10 just sprouted seedlings.

I wonder how the Male-Female ratios will go this year.

I've never had it attract animals although it certainly stinks. Mixing it with water and then washing down the area you poured it with a little water would be a good idea. I've buried fish in my garden and had varmints dig them up, just a few weeks back I tossed a few rotten mangos in the soil and buried them lightly. The next day they'd been dug up and chewed on. So there's certainly animals with sensitive noses that will dig up the garden bed if they sense food in the area but no problems from either the Alaska fish or Agrothrive which is similar.

Agrothrive is very fast acting, it's made from fermented fish and corn liquor. Corn liquor is the leftovers when they process grain for animal feed. They put the stuff in a vat and add beneficial microbes that break it down into a form that's immediately available to plants. It's more balanced then Alaska although not as high in N, 3-3-2. Even though those numbers aren't that high you see the results almost immediately.

What you don't want to do is leave your bottle of Alaska fish lying around in your patch. A couple years ago a buddy of mine had a bear visit. Didn't tear up his garden but went for the bottle. Since he's kept it indoors under lock and key the bears haven't been back.

I've used 5-1-1 Alaska Fish Fertilizer (supposedly descented, per the jug) for years. Mostly now I use it in the veggie gardens, as it's relatively inexpensive in bulk (1-gallon, etc.). I've also used their Alaska 0-10-10 Mor Bloom as an adjunct in the veggies, as well.

I was told years ago here (ICMag), by GrowingCrazy, that cold-pressed fish hydrolisate (spelling) was superior in what it offered the plants, re. my cannabis, and I've been using some semblance of that type of product since. I think a readily available product that may meet needs is Neptune's Harvest at, I believe, a 2-3-0, and I use that in combination with a liquid bone meal to further boost Ca & P during bloom.. with good success, I'd add. My 1-0-0 Safer Gro Biomin Liquid Calcium gives me a boost in N when needed, as well as bolstering the Ca.

But from what I understood back then, the Alaska Fish fertilizer 5-1-1 is not a cold pressed product, per se'.

By the way, back when I lived in a smaller well-known rural coastal community up here, I'd/we'd go to the fish cannery (salmon processing plant in appropriate season) and get permission to acquire trash bags of salmon waste from the slime line. You could only put so many lbs. of this wet slimy stuff into a heavy-duty trash bag before it was too heavy to transport without bursting, which you ABSOLUTELY could not allow to happen. YUCK!!

We'd till this into the veggie and flower garden there as deeply as we could manage, with very limited hydrated lime added, and a bit of low magnesium garden lime and such, and despite them live-trapping large coastal brown bears a couple blocks from our house, we never saw one in our lot that we noted. Admittedly, I'm vision impaired, but a large brown bear is difficult to not see, too. And I was younger then, as well, so, in theory, my vision was better.

Proper tilling and liming takes care of the majority of that issue. People leaving accessible dog food and trash on their back porches? Not so much. They tend to get the unexpected furry visits in the night.

And yes, that 5-1-1 Alaska Fish Fertilizer, despite claiming to be descented, MAN!! I'd hate to smell it BEFORE They knocked the scent down!!

Hey everyone, l hope you’re all well.
It’s interesting that your experience of spring and summer is exactly as we had this/last year Therevverand. Over the last few years I’ve noticed a strong correlation between the weather that we get and certain other people in the US have.
I just wanted to chime in and let people know that if you’re taking warfarin (a blood thinner) l wouldn’t use the urine on your plants, l know it kills lemon trees. It’s also an interesting thought to wonder what else we ingest may get concentrated in urine.
Cheers,

Let's see, @therevverend , whether or not we make a deal in the end...:
I send you the 15°C of heat you want, and you send me 30% ambient humidity and all the water you have left over there? The field around my house, this morning:

"La Perrera", this morning.
From the proximity below, to the distance above, Flash Back (Sweet Seeds), King Congo (Tropical Seeds Company) and Zamaldélica (Asociación Cultivadores Españoles):

 

[Montuno]

19-Junio-2022.
King Congo (Congo Point Noire X South African Ciskei; Tropical Seeds Company; nacida el 15-Mayo).
Ya hace algún día que mostró ser hembra!! Una vez más, no es sólo la sativa pura que cultivo más rápida en mostrar sexo, sino que ha vuelto a adelantarse incluso a híbridos indica/sativa de los que se cosechan a primeros de Octubre [tengo una Flash Back (Flo X White Widow; Sweet Seeds) nacida el mismo día en el agujero de al lado, aparte de la Zamaldélica de A.C.E.).
La tengo a la King Congo, además, en el agujero que más sufre el Sol, pues ya me ha demostrado su dureza a mi tipo de calor ardiente y seco; la pobre, ya ha conocido los 43°C a la sombra de máxima, y humedades ambientales mínimas del 10%...:

19-June-2022.
King Congo (Congo Point Noire X South African Ciskei; Tropical Seeds Company; born 15-May).
She has already shown herself to be a female some day ago! Once again, she is not only the fastest pure sativa I grow to show sex, but she has once again beaten even indica/sativa hybrids harvested in early October [I have a Flash Back (Flo X White Widow; Sweet Seeds) born the same day in the hole next door, as well as A.C.E.'s Zamaldelica].
I have her (the King Congo), moreover, in the hole that suffers more the Sun, because it has already demonstrated me its hardness to my type of burning and dry heat; the poor girl has already known the 43°C (109'5°F) in the shade of maximum, and minimum environmental humidities of 10%....:

Pd: @Hombre del mont; puedes ver la cría de saltamontes, verde brillante, en un foliolo del inferior de la segunda foto? Ese cabroncete solo puede crecer...

 

[Montuno]

Flash Back (Flo X White Widow; Sweet Seeds; nacida el 15-Mayo); en el agujero más protegido (con mucha diferencia, tanto por la sombra del propio muro bajo de "La Perrera", como por la de una morera y un acebuche, desde fuera de "La Perrera"):

Flash Back (Flo X White Widow; Sweet Seeds; born 15-May); in the most protected hole (by far, both by the shade of the low wall of "La Perrera" itself, and by the shade of a mulberry tree and a wild olive tree, from outside "La Perrera"):

No esta nada mal, un pelin pequeña, pero guay de salud, si puedes pon algo grande delante en el sentido que tenga sombra de las 2 a las 5 de la tarde, y sobretodo poda el centro ya, te va a crecer mucho las ramas, encima si antes del 20 de julio te crecio lo suficiente, podras hacer una segunda poda. Yo hice 3 el año pasado(osea 8 centrales) mas dos de ramas, le gusto un montón.

Efectivamente está muy poco desarrollada: con solo 3 días menos de vida, está la mitad exacta de desarrollada que la King Congo...
De momento no me veo en la necesidad de sombrearlas: si observas sus folíolos, y pese al calor y sequedad que soportan y de no sombrearlas, no están en absoluto como plegados hacia arriba, de forma que las hojas adquieren la conocida forma de patas de gallo/gallina con la palma hacia el cielo, como muestra @el mani... Creo esto se debe, a pesar de mi mayor calor y muchísima mayor sequedad, a que no sufren los problemas extra que añaden las macetas al calor ardiente.

En cuanto a la poda, mi perezosa intención es no hacer absolutamente nada, aparte de doblarlas (lo que los angloparlantes llaman creo L.S.T.).
Las plantas adoptan entonces forma de esqueleto de ballena bocarriba, y suelen verse así desde arriba en "La Perrera" (foto de otro año):

Pd: la broma que no puedes entender es solo la típica "confrontación" Norte/Sur (aunque quizá esté "invertida" en Francia, si consideramos Norte a Normandía y no a París, frente a Marsella..(?)). El "España es realmente Asturias; todo lo demás es tierra conquistada a moros" de los asturianos equivale al "África empieza al Sur de los Pirineos" que nos decían tus compatriotas en mi mocedad (y no les faltaba razón, je).
Algo equivalente al humor basado en puyas y controversias regionalistas para acabar riéndonos tod@s de tod@s incluid@s nosotr@s mism@s, de películas vuestras como "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis"...

Indeed, it is very underdeveloped: only 3 days younger, it is exactly half as developed as the King Congo...
At the moment I don't see the need to shade them: if you look at their leaflets, and despite the heat and dryness they endure and despite not shading them, they are not at all like folded upwards, so that the leaves take on the well-known shape of crow's feet with the palm facing the sky, as shown by @el mani... I think this is because, despite my higher heat and much, much greater dryness, they don't suffer the extra problems that pots add to the scorching heat.

As for pruning, my lazy intention is to do absolutely nothing, apart from bending them (what English speakers call I think L.S.T.).
The plants then take on the shape of a whale skeleton face up, and usually look like that from above in "La Perrera" (photo from another year):

Pd: the joke you can't understand is just the typical North/South "confrontation" (although maybe it is "inverted" in France, if we consider Normandy North and not Paris, in front of Marseille..(?)). The "Spain is really Asturias; everything else is land conquered from the Moors" of the Asturians is equivalent to the "Africa begins south of the Pyrenees" that your compatriots used to tell us in my childhood (and they were not wrong, heh).
Something equivalent to the humor based on pranks and regionalist controversies to end up laughing at everyone, including ourselves, of your movies like "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis"...

Entiendo, acostada seguramente da buen resultado, te decía de podar por la muy buena experiencia que he tenido con esta variedad en comportamiento, super resistente y ramificada y ten mucho cuidado los cogollos de esta variedad parecen maduros mucho tiempo antes de la resina (mas que otras variedades), te lo digo por si acaso cosechas sin lupa en mi caso, los cogollos dejaron de crecer primera semana de octubre, ya llena de resina, pero he tenido que esperar hasta última semana de octubre para que tenga la resina suficiente madura para cosechar.

Un buen indicador visual de madurez, caso de no tener las lupas o vista apropiado para ello, es observar cuando los cálices individuales dejan de hincharse, para empezar a perder su frescor y lozanía, @Hashislife... Pero está claro que nada mejor que una lente apropiada.

A good visual indicator of maturity, I think, in case you don't have the proper loupes or eyesight for it, is to observe when the individual calyxes stop swelling, to start losing their freshness and lushness, @Hashislife.... But it is clear that nothing better than a proper lens.

Es lo que te digo, las calices ya dejan de hincharse mucho tiempo antes que este la resina madura, por eso con esa variedad es fácil de equivocarse sin lupa
