hehehe ...well seems you got some good soil there
there's a bit bugdamage i c, but for the rest they seem in awsome health
did you had males amung them...? Nhow it seems like a good spot to me if you have't been there for so long
Thank you all for passing by and your words of encouragement
And so I made some time to go and check the spot after what should have been at least 6 weeks...
... Weather has been very rainy, so I wasn't really concerned about water needs. But this being my 1st "natural" grow I was a bit hesitant about the health of the babies.
When arriving to the spot, this was the 1st sight I got
Having been here only a couple of times, it was difficult to figure out where they were exactly So I had to use my memory to surf along the ocean of green.
That's how I found this one, on which I had given up, she looked shocked and liveless last time I saw it. When opening around the bushes I found this
And then I found some more:
They all got a good nutritive watering and I started to look for signs of sexing. Only found this, which seemed to me like ealy signs of a male
He's no longer with the rest... Apparently, the pics with the roots were not uploaded, will have to do that again. This was the biggest of the plants at about 1.70mtrs and it was a Cindyrella from DG.
They will all get a top dressing with bat guano as soon as they're all sexed.
That's it for now, question, comments and suggestions, they're all welcome!
So I went to spot n2 today, the one where I just planted seeds in peat pots with good soil...
... And I couldn't find anything. I walked around for a while, but nothing, so I'm guessing that they didn't make it, and if they did, they were eaten soon after.
And so we keep learning, on this spot (n2) seeds alone will not work, and I presume this is the case for most guerrilla spots.
A small report from what has been a whole new experience up to now, back to spot 1.
No pictures this time, but take my word for it, the earea is COMPLETELY overgrown... by native vegetation that is
It was quite an effort to get to the site, but after using the correct reference points the garden revealed to me
The native vegetation was covering them again, despite my best efforts to step on everything growing around them, on my last visit. Some of them are gaining good size and getting branchy.
All the ladies have shown flowers by now and I'm still waiting for 2 more to speak out.
They were feed, talked to cand cared for. Hoping that they continue to do as well in their sea of green.
As you say THC, the summer has been crap but I must confess that I'm pleasantly surprised by some of the plants' development, taking into account this is the 1st time I use this spot, and that this has been more of a "natural" grow than a "guerrilla" grow due to its very low maintenance.
Being my 1st proper go at it, I'm still experimenting, seeing what works best for me.
From origaly 8 plants, we are now down to 5 (1 was male, 1 had a branch fall on it, 1 was burned).
And now for some pics:
This plant looked like it wouldn't make it at the begining but it has come a long way from the begining:
This other plant has grown a great deal, she's almost 2mtrs tall!
She was just a baby a couple of weeks ago:
And the we have 2 more that are not getting much light and don't have much going on:
One that was looking great (or so I'm told) but that got (nutrient) burned, mea culpa
And then another one, also bordering the 2 mtrs
And some local flora
I don't know, doubt in fact that I'll achieve my weight goal, but it's been at least a good learning experience.
