...And these other "bumblebees" are really fat (the other day, at dawn; I think there were 4 or 5 "Chinooks"...):

OUTDOOR GROWS 2023 -ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE-
- Thread starter therevverend

Went to water the garden, had the truck loaded with 107 gallons of water, and the plot looked like it still had plenty of moisture. So we drove back and watered the vegies with it. I am trying to figure out how to water correctly. In the past when the plants are large I go by the recommendation to water about `10% of the soil volume, but in the spring thats a little much I think. The plants aren't using that much moisture yet and it can get too wet. This plot has afternoon shade so it is slower to dry out.
Its good to let the plants dry down and only water them when needed. This avoids root rot and other diseases and also promotes and deeper, healthier root system. I didn't want to water them and slow them down!
Everything did grow pretty good this week I was glad to see. A few leaf spots that are light yellow faded spots about a quarter to a half inch in diameter. I have seen them in the past. I think its due to overwatering, or the chicken manure fertilizer. Its pretty minor right now, so not too worried about it.
Going to wait until next weeken to water. Saw a couple preflowers on the Paradaise Cheese hybrids, and pulled a male mutant Satica Candy Chunk.
Will get the rest up soon.
Perhaps that swarm of Chinooks was attempting to corral a tic-tac UFO spotted in the area.

I like my outdoor but i love giving it away lol. People are very happy and I harvested too much so it makes me feel ok about growing so much.
I know its late but maybe you can try something like Christmas lights wrapped around the plants? Add a solid couple hours before/after sunrise/set or during twilight/dusk etc.. if its in your yard could be possible with an extension cord if you have all that lying around. Or if you have something like remesh or hardware cloth build a simple thing with a post or stake and wrap the lights around the metal and remove during the day. Probably will be fine on its own in time thoughWell we've been having a very cloudy an rainy week. No real progress on her starting to veg again

I read that $100 casino chips are sometimes also referred to as Bumblebees.
Related to a casino making black and yellow $100 chips, and somebody else doing a good job counterfeiting those chips.
I'll take 100 of them chips

I think taking some classes in Watermarks might be fun.
Learn to make small detailed impressions of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Benjamin Franklin.
People say that the watermarked paper is what makes US currency difficult to counterfeit.
But watermarking paper is a 500+ year old art form.
Visit some of the old museums in Europe and you will see some beautiful watermarked paper.
I wonder if the Smithsonian has any displays for watermarked paper ?
Hunting for Watermarks
One of the more exciting things I have been working on in the conservation lab of the Smithsonian Institution Archives over the past year has been to photograph the imaginative and beautiful watermarks found on our collection of archival documents. For centuries, papermakers have been twisting...
Note the "Ruse & Turners 1815" watermark. I wonder what year that was made ?

I started putting mulch on all the seedlings, to cool off the soil and help it keep moisture longer.
Basically so it's not baking in the sun.
I like those white pots !

Several plants are kicking on all cylinders, starting to grow fast after the rains last week! Have more rain in the forecast so can take a break from the watering for now! I'd rather see the garden go another 1-2 weeks without water and dry down than water again today when it doesn't need it. We want those roots searching for moisture and growing a larger structure in preparation for flowering.

Leaf spots. I have seen them in the past, keeping an eye on them. Anyone know what causes these? I think its a root issue.
I have seen those leaf spots pop up in the past at another location, but they were more pronounced. May just use some composted cow manure and cottonseed meal in late July/ early August just in case its the chicken manure compost mix "Healthy Grow" causing the spots. Could that be due to overwatering?
Overwatering usually makes the leaves cup and curl downward from what I have seen. There are only a couple plants that have leaves with cupping/downward pointing leaves so must of the plot is draining well. Forgot the rake when I went to work the bed this spring so I had to try to level it with the shovel, so there is a slight low spot where i see those symptoms. I can move some soil there to improve the grade.
Plants are beginning to show some character and growing fast. Supposed to be rain in the next few days and be about average so just going to let the Lord take care of them so long as it doesn't too dry.
Pulled some weeds and a half dozen plants that were yellow and diseased, runts, or mutant. Going out later to scout for preflowers. Get the unwanted males out as soon as possible so the females have time to fill in the gaps. Was surprised to see the Paradise Cheese x Hindu Kush being the first to show preflowers, but thye are in the front of the garden, so that helps. Starting to see some branches sprouting, its boom time!
Galatians 3:5-8, 26-29 NKJV
5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
----------------
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Paradaise Cheese x Hindu Kush-- kind of a funky plant. Leaf morphology and structure show it may have a genetic mutation. Will wait and see how it grows.

When chickens go bad.... These are some of the worst ones. Should grow out of it, been thought this before. Just don't want to put any more down this year. I would think if I went with a lower rate it wouldn't burn but I'm not going to try it before flower. It usually shows slight symptoms after application, but the fertilizer boosts growth to compensate for it.
Looking great, Revegetta! What strains do you have going there besides DC? Sharp looking group of hashplants! Time to transplant soon!
Well, I was very interested in a destroyer male, sweet sativa or peyote (this is more difficult), on the other hand, almost all the old ones from sensi seeds have come out, the sssdh x jh from karma, sour gum and sweets...
bad luck ( mala suerte chato)
Nice healthy-looking plants there, and seeing these makes me less worried about the late start I've had this year because my seedlings are only a bit smaller than these beauties, while still under 16/8 lighting.

Pakistani crosses, mostly.
I am aiming for smaller plants though (25L / 7gal). So maybe you should keep worrying
How many peyotes do you have to grow to get one male? At least 6-7 I would imagine.
That's not too bad, I've done much worse. It's worth testing the limits because once the burn is over they turn the most incredible green and shoot the moon. I haven't found any other fertilizer that works like that, where there's such a fine line between a perfect amount and a nasty burn. I have a friend that uses teas, probably a better way to up the dose without the risk.
My garden is in it's late spring green period. Plenty of sun and rain. Been culling down to the best ones, still need to get rid of quite a few but I have a good idea what the keepers are. I'll still have a few that haven't sexed but that should work itself out soon and I'll have just about everyone in their final spots by the end of the month.

Flushing the garden with a good watering today, should be dried out enough. Guess I need to back off the fertilizer rate some more. Its very low nitrogen, but it still burns and feeds the plants well. Chicken manure its a mystery of science!
Wish I had the Pakistani lines going, had issues with germination this year. Will have to be sure to put some out next year. Looking forward to watching those grow!
Thanks Reverend, I have burnt worse with it before too, so I'm pretty optimistic, but I still want to wash it in. Seems like the more it drys out the worse the burn can get sometimes. I have noticed that, once the burn is done, they chicken manure takes care of the nitrogen needs and it has P, K, and and Ca to build strong plants!
Garden is looking great!, choices choices! Could you start feeding with P dominant fertilizer and bump them toward flowering stage to see earlier preflowers? Time to plant!

Growing good, just some slight burn. They really soaked up the water this time, they were thirsty.
Its hard to get all the water to soak in, the garden is on a hill. Need to put in compost as soon as possible.
Deep Chunk x Blueberry stems are really thick. They're in the best light back in that corner! Starting to get some height at just above the knees!
Culled 1 DC x Blueberry with leaf mutations. (not pictured)

Does your site get waterlogged at all? Are you adding the compost for better moisture retention and resilience or to feed the plants?Its hard to get all the water to soak in, the garden is on a hill. Need to put in compost as soon as possible.
