The triplet is steaming ahead, 2 MPCK in foreground, 1 MP in background (in 1st pic), MP in 2nd.
They're over 120 cm and going strong...

Looking at the 3rd pic, would you call it preflowering or flowering?

weather's been quite variant lately, not much sun with occasional showers here and there...northerly gusts keep storming down from the mountain...my poor vine's lost an arm or two but my girls won't get daunted...surrounding walls or thicket break the raging wind...

Today I've been tending the fatty Jamdel...

orfeas did you remove the lower branches by yourself or did they break? If you did it by yourself...why? Trying to keep it off the ground so the air can get beneath?
They look super happy! :)

Thank you, Bleiweiss!

I always remove the first couple of nodes for they rarely outgrow the canopy thus being always in the shade, that's one thing, and then air circulation is your right guess, for the sake of which I'll be cutting off many a branchlet later on when things get really crowded...this lady grows so wild and dense producing such a bountiful crop(a K is a piece of cake) you never mind removing branchlets here and there...

Well, well, things are getting wild and it's only late June...

Hopefully this primitive chicken wire installation will restrain uncontrolable growth otherwise I'll have to resort to drastic pruning/pinching/bending...

The last two pics a Jamaldelica in the bush flourishing 160 cm tall, a potential ten footer... :)

Welcome you guys!

dubi, I'm gonna need your sympathy in August... :)

BG, you should stop watching "Monsters,Inc." for a change! :biggrin:

Kono mate, you're just about right with the scrog! Look at what has happened within 8 days ...

They've been heavily sprayed with bordeau mixture + sulphur, hoping to evade mould issues...

P.S. The 1st pic is of 23rd June

You always have my simpathy orfeas :)

I also like to spray with a bit of sulfur in the very first days of flowering (just when the plants start to throw the first pistils, in your case in early August) to avoid powdery mildew, that is becoming a big problem here in our area for the past 8 years.

Can any of you share some info about this mixture of suplhur? Does it significantly prevent mold? If so...i really need to do this :)

Of course Bleiweis,

The use of sulphur in powder is accepted in ecological farming, it is widely used to avoid fungus in fruits and vegetables that are washed before human consumption.

Obviously marijuana flowers cannot be washed before its consumption, so from an ecological point of view it can only be used when the cannabis plant are in very early flowering (first 15-20 days of flowering, depending on the strain), but never apply over well developed flowers.

Spray the sulfur on the leaves when the first budsites are just forming the first pistils and it will protect your plants against powdery mildew for at least 6-8 weeks, depending on the degradation conditions (outdoors the degradation is faster, indoors slower). Usually this provides enough time to protect most of the early flowering strains (indica and indica dominant hybrids) for the whole flowering cycle, but sometimes this frame time is not enough to protect very long flowering sativas in their last stage of flowering.

Sulphur also works well against other fungus, spider mites and other pests so it's a really helpful preventive, and a must for the growers that are suffering constantly strong powdery mildew problems and are looking for an ecological remedy for the problem.

I usually spray with a disolution of 1 gr of sulphur per litre of water, although this depends on the concrete sulphur based product you are using.

Hope it helps.

The old farts around my neck of woods have never heard of PM...
Yet, they have been tackling the nuisance quite successfully for ages calling it sulphur-sickness...
This is why I've got many a June yellow-leaf vine pics in my childhood album:)

... why the show must go on...two different expressions of a 2013 Jamaldelica reg batch, one of bushy almost light green relatively broad leaf fashion and one of lunky dark green thin blade leaf one, two completely different plants..and a hasty chucking pollen short male of my last year's reg Jamaldelica that flowered since solstice and presented me with 10-15 seeds... would it be any good for seed production? just wondering...
