Everything is looking good and green bud. About how far do you think your top trellis is above the plants to stretch into?
I just draped a layer of trellis over the side netting. maybe 7-feet high. The taller plants are already growing through it. It's damn near impossible for me to use a ladder on the hill so putting up an additional top layer of trellis will be interesting but I dont think it will be necessary for all the plants and i'm going to put that off for as long as possible


Alcohol is something I can do without but we all make choices. Give me my weed and maybe mushrooms but that's just me
i used to love mushrooms but now i prefer acid. DMT is ok too i just wish it didnt taste so bad, kinda ruins the trip almost

hell yah got the t-posts done. most plants are 6-7 feet tall, some are still only like 5 feet but they are really bushy and seem healthy so I can't complain.

Do you have an orchard ladder they do wonders on a hill side and are steady...get a 12footer

Dmt, is that easy to get ahold of? Mushrooms were my thing daily for a month straight and I truly loved nearly every minute of it
DMT not that easy to find unless you know a chemist or live somewhere with a lot of hippy/festival folk .

I sold mushrooms when i was in high school and i ate them a few times a week for years... probably fucked up my development but it was fun for a while. then things got weird so i stopped tripping for a couple years, then i moved to santa cruz and started getting really good acid which i enjoy a lot more than mushrooms, it seems more mellow and less confusing. probably have dosed a few hundred times, i think it's less harmful than alcohol although it does tax your system a bit.

some people cant handle psychedelics though. i try to stay away from them

Looking good man, I can't believe that tiger mountain is that round and bushy without pinching, shit blows my mind that that's its natural structure! It's like a big fat friend, just want to hug it! ��

You could be grazing animals with that pasture you're growing! That is a lot of water!

How much water you using at this time of the year and how often?

my theory is that if i keep the whole hillside green then the gophers will not have to target the ganja plants

I was watering 50-60gallons per day for each mound/plant, but i cut back a bit after seeing signs of overwatering. they get about 40 gallons per plant now daily and seem happy with that. was over 100 degrees today and they were all praying and tracking the sun

i noticed a couple plants are a bit yellow, seems to be nitrogen deficiency, i might foliar with some Ferti-Nitro but not sure .
 
Plants will look N deficient when overwatered from fungal pathogens affecting the root zone thus nutrient uptake. The N foliar might help but if its from overwatering then you need to cut back on the mounds and spend more time watering the grass. You can also leave a shallow dish like a tray or two full of water out for the gophers so theyre less inclined to hit the mounds.

Gophers

Gophers

Read somewhere that ashes, a shovelful or so, put into the entrance of a gopher hole and they go away.

No idea if it works.

PoopG,

I have seen some very simple things like calcium for example, that people reject because it is too simple.

As I mentioned, it was one of those things that someone wrote and hit entered the database if you will. Where I am from in NJ, gophers were a major pain in the ass. And I thought, just as you, could it really be that easy?
 
Went to the sublime with rome concert this past Tuesday, I was impressed. I never heard of the other bands until that night, I'm sorry I'm a older guy. Bleeker, tribal seeds and dirty heads just great performance from everyone. Dirty heads has now become a new favorite of mine like their sound. Guess all the bands are from cali except for bleeker Canadian. Dirty heads had insane bud with them from home they said, flavorful purple buds

becareful with fusarium, not really a big deal in fabric pots but once in the ground, the native fusarium, which is always present in native soil to some degree, maybe an actinovate drench would do well as a preventative to fungal pathogens in the soil, God i'd hate to lose a 10 pounder to fungal soil pathogen...

and thats one thing you gotta be thinking about being that u dont have the soil elevated in a fabric pot, the air flow just isnt there now, so more chances of the soil staying wet and going anarobic in spots creating the conditions for Fusarium and other baddies to thrive... again maybe an inoculation of beneficial micorbes would do you good :) EM1 would be awesome, you can buy a gallon and stretch it x10 by doing a quick fermentation with water/molasses for a week, good stuff, i suggest you look into it..

..just my .02
