We got 3 days of temps going near or above 100 F.
Plus I got corn seedlings in the sun, covered with wet sawdust. Watering that area right now.
I pulled something in my back 6 days ago, carrying water or something. Seems to have healed, finally, overnight.
Now I get to spend the whole morning carrying buckets of water.
It pisses me off to plant a baby fruit tree and then ignore it, to die in the heat. Got to protect my babies AND my investment.
I gave up on fruit trees. The only one I have that has survived is protected from the north blasting winds. A plum tree, all by it's lonesome.
5 gallon buckets with a tiny hole to slowly release the water are one way, but the buckets still need to be filled somehow.

much to my chagrin the dandelion was yanked accidentally by my friend when weeding.

I have one of those plants with the big green velvety leaves in the top middle part of the photograph.
I figure it's a weed but I thought I'd give it some Cannabis nutes. See if I can get it 5 feet tall.
Anybody know what it's called ?
mullien
That is a medicinal plant. Look it up.

Hi CrustyCruz,
l guess l was drawing a pretty long bow with that statement and probably why one shouldn’t go “TUI”.....typing under the influence
l do love the community though and I get exilerated and excited by the ability to communicate ideas and experiments along with anecdotal experience of growers much further advanced than myself and world leaders in their fields. I’ve learnt so much and am very thankful to everyone who has answered my questions and assisted in my learning.
l have been on other gardening websites but l do find it difficult these days to get excited about broccoli and biochar now that I’m into cation and anion exchanges.
IC has slowed down compared to what it was when l first started lurking but I’m sure, as with all things, it will come back around.
I’m wishing you and everyone, all the very best and if there’s any further learning or sites to check out post them up or PM me.
Cheers,
40.

It is amazing to me that rooted cuttings from the same mother occasionally take on unique traits. A little mind boggling.

Hey Microbeman, l really hope you’re well,
deffinately looks like a sat leaner to me. I’ve pondered, researched and experienced this very subject and have found different environmental expressions, of the same plant, intriguing and perplexing.
Excluding obvious factors like wind, rain, predation and sun, it wasn’t until l discovered that relative humidity had a direct correlation with bud density and in my experience can change the overall look of a plant that is genetically identical in flower. I also found out altitude has an effect on terpene and resin production which l found extremely interesting.

This plant appears to me to exhibit classic sativa structure. Concur?

Hybrid?

Fibric histosols are just fresher. Canada will be importing more blonde material once the right pocket is stuffed. 1/2 cup of lime per cubic foot will get you within growing range, then about another cup for some buffering.
I buffer peat moss with vermicompost/compost only. I don't encounter pH related issues. So far as I know the blonde peat moss is harvested shallow.

I find that very interesting Microbeman,
is there a sweet spot for life to flourish re.moisture?
