Gday, Absolutly fantastic trees Bushy, How long is your longest Daylight Hours??? Must have a long grow season !! How old are these beauties ???

 

[bushweed]

Thanks BrainSellz, luvaduck & scoobie. At the moment this plot is getting 9-10 hours direct sun, 14-15 sunlight hours in total. Most of these plants were germinated at the end of August, some at the end of September, some at the end of October. I always plant according to a Moon calendar, so usually in the fortnight leading up to the full moon, with some astrological variations according to the chart. I'm not into astrology, but for planting it really seems to make a difference.

Few more Nimbin purple shots

Hi

Bushweed I agree with you about the importance of growing according the Moon cycle.

There is a town in Mexico called Valle de Santiago, where some people have an astrological knowledge that allow them to grow giant vegetables.

The method is leave the "seed" in full Sun light until it turns green. Later they plant it at the morning (between the dawn until the Sun rises at the highest point in the sky). It its better to plant in full Moon. And it is very important don't water until the third day.

This method is only for growing potatoes, garlic, onions, and vegetables that propagate from tubers or bulbs. For seed plant as cannabis there is another method that sadly I don't know.

I am trying it with garlics and potatoes.

Beautiful trees there bw. The slope has served you well in the deluge we have endured. Im sure you will have some monsters come end o season, great to see m8. The genetics have found their sweet spot in terms of enviroment for sure, kanga has done a great job as have you on your grow m8.

Very old man
Lovely mbs shots m8, she is indica dom in growth pattern but does stretch, they will need some support im sure by end o season, and i mean that in a good way , lovely pics m8

Benji, great to see you around m8, sounds like the mbs went down well with you m8, and i am honored as i know you have a stable of your own work that is of the highest of quality aswell, so any compliment is very highly reguaded from you m8, ty

Anyways sorry for going off topic, lovely work bw m8, looks like you will need to get the help of a few of those tall gnomes to bring in those massive ladies. lovely work m8.
much respect

Thanks moony (good to see you m8), Donald (where's wally?), very old man (that's a local Nimbin gnome, lives in a mushroom outside of town), ahortator (those old Mexican farmers knew a thing or two about the cycles of life).

bushweed your plants are amazing mate I was so inspired I went back and re-read your thread from the start trying to figure out your trick for monsters... and all I could come up with is 1.5 meter holes and cow shit... if that all you do for what you get... then next year my one foot holes are deff going to be 1.5 meter holes

much respect mate bring em home for a harvest show im sure every aussie wants to see

 

[bushweed]

Hi shroomy, well mate I started with 1.5 meter wide, 50cm deep holes, but have since dug around the bases until they are all 2-3 meters. I initially dug 20-30 kgs of cowshit in each hole because it is low reactive and close at hand. I didn't dig the holes early enough over winter to initially put in chicken, horse and sheep shit, which is possibly better. But I have since dug in chicken manure & dynamic lifter outside the dripline so the plants don't get burnt.

Also dolomite (lime) and possibly gypsum (for clay) are essential for correct soil prep.

I have been liquid fertilising with Seasol seaweed, as well as a 10% human urine solution fortnightly, and also peacock shit tea, which is just what I have on hand.

I have also recently added potassium for the heads

So I recommend digging 2-3 meter wide holes, half to a meter deep, at least 3 months before planting with lime and copious amounts of chicken, cow, horse and sheep manure. 10% urine fixes nitrogen. Seasol seaweed liquid seems an invaluable all round fertiliser, and then potash or potassium for the flowers.

Now if I had of dug holes earlier with that combo of manures, and had 14 hours direct sun instead of 9-10, (coupled with the natural advantage I have - rich volcanic soil), I might be competing with the likes of Kangativa, Gundawindi, Tom Hill and Humboldtlocal....

But then if the dog hadn't have stopped for a shit he would have won the race...

Hope this helps mate.

 

[shroomyshroom]

Thanx mate

next year I will show my other patch I am currently working just a little to paranoid to show that patch on here... as they are a little bigger than the plants in my thread... but with your advise i think they are going to be 5 times the size they are this coming year multi pound plants is what its all about

[CLOWD11]

Looking excellent bushweed!

[Guest50138]

ya going to have to get hired help in with the trimming bushie. That Mango Haze looks Nice well they all do actually

 

[shroomyshroom]

god dam............................................ truly a site for stoned eyes mate... those trunks look super thick

 

[scoobie]

I have two ambitions in my growing Life !
1. Grow a nice tree like you guys !!!
2. Get away with it !!

 

[yoss33]

Indeed, this flowerless branch is interesting And it comes to show the "locality" of flowering hormones - they don't travel far and the big branch seems to be big enough to have its own flowering cycle.

 

[ahortator]

Wonderful plants!

Australian weed is the highest weed!LoL
