The things we do for love
Looks amazing this one did the other finish?

 

[Persianfarmer]

It looked amazing till just before flower but As I said we didn’t Harvest it , it got “lost“ unfortunately. We had to move on to next spot, limited time etc other spots needed attention.

Did you wheel that plant in and out to dep it?

Oh I see…. You must have had some crazy strains to allow yourself to lose such gem…the Bushmen Guerilla growing…. How would you manage water? Water reservoirs burried in soil or you left to mother nature’s natural rain??
How many plants? Of course if it is safe to talk about it

 

[Persianfarmer]

Beautiful wow!!! How much dry weight? Terpenes? Taste? High….common don’t make run for the carrot…. Tell us all

Enough plants to keep busy

We had a few, white rhino the
Main one that year. Good strong lemon cleaner smell and was super tasty and potent af.

Mother Nature bro,you gotta find her wet spot to keep them happy you know

 

[Persianfarmer]

Yeah i hear u loud and clear!

WR is strong fo shore

Trying to do the same, so if you got any tips out of your experience that I need to consider as key kindly provide me with your feedback, again if you ok with that by Warrior (loved the movie, Once we Warriors, and another great flick was The Black Horse).
Cheers

Hey everyone,
can’t tell you all how happy I am to see a bit of conversation in the thread; there was a time when you’d have to read ten or more pages just to catch up over a coffee in the morning.
A bit of an update for everyone. All the plants are six feet tall or more. Some are stretching into seven but stretch is almost over. I’m guessing we’re three weeks into flower and l gave them all two, top dressed, handfuls of soft rock phosphate or, about a cup.

All the tri-leader plants have also caught up with their single leader sister’s. I could probably say they have more consistent bud sites across the top of the plant than their single leader sisters but they’re all beautiful in my eyes.

The volunteer plant is still stretching as you might except from a seed plant. It’s difficult to say just how big she is but If l had to guess, I’d say two and a half meters.
She looks great from one angle but from the other where she lost her laterals there’s a big hole. She’s not a keeper but the experiment continues.

And here’s the biggest plant in the garden, possibly seven feet tall. This is the spot l’ve grown some very big plants in the past but this year if l can get a nine footer out of here l’ll be very happy.

And a bit of an artie/end of summer picture for you Funkentelechy. I know exactly what you mean because I feel exactly the same while I’m slogging through the depths of winter enjoying all your pictures It really does warm my soul

Well, plants are drinking a lot of water, the not so fun bit is about to start and the Starks are always right….”Winter is coming” 🫶
Cheers,
40.

Nice Bro!

Beautiful landscape and amazing OD ladies. Can you tell me more about how you feed your ladies, and what do you do for your soil? How many liters of water you feed them per week, what’s your watering schedule? How many hours of Sun you getting?

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great farming🫶

 

[40degsouth]

Hey Persianfarmer.
All this intellectual property was given to me by Bradley Danks, he’s given me his blessing to share it with the community. He was the only commercial grower l reached out to that helped me come up with a successful strategy to beat the leaf spot disease l get here. We’ve done a seed swap and l grew out some of his plants two seasons ago that I posted up on here.
He’s a fantastic person and we’re friends to this day.

Here’s what I’ve just started feeding the plants. This is for a 44 gallon drum and each plant has been getting about ten litres every five days. This is in grams

Because of the work I’ve done with Brad over the last couple of years his feeding schedules have changed from the above posts to about the same as mine.
I’ve found that the Blackdogs do extremely well with a five day feeding and l also spray the leaves down for a foliar.
I’ve just started incorporating two packets of BT, caterpillar killer, into the tank just before feeding.
The garden beds are pretty big from 400 gallons to close to eight cubic meters. They hold a lot of water and l actually don’t really have to water until January, some time, depending on the season.
It’s been dry and hot here lately so the plants are drinking a lot exactly how much I can’t really say. I tend to go by feel and if I can scratch down two or three inches and see moisture, they don’t need watering. I also use wooden stakes in the soil and pull them out for a look.
One thing I can say is the wet and dry cycle is very important to prevent fungal infections in the soil such as fusarium.
For the soil l like to put down a lot of blood and bone at transplant, probably 3-5 kgs per plant, in a radius of 1.5 feet one foot from the stem. I then topdress this with about the same amount of gypsum and then over the top of this l put a full bag of, egg laying, chicken manure. I just put this straight on “hot” and let the worms do the rest of the work for me. There are quite literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them in the garden and now everything’s gone and totally incorporated.
As for the sun, some spots get more, some less but I’ve often wondered myself just how much. If l had to say, right now they’re getting 8 hours. The calcium nitrate pushes growth through lower light conditions but be very careful with it. The addition of H2O2 with a feeding also pushes growth. I’m incorporating about a quarter of a cup of %50 H2O2 into my feeding with about a cup of apple cider vinegar to chelate the metals. Make sure you add the H2O2 just before your ready to go, otherwise you can oxidise the metals in the mix.
There’s some really fantastic information in the Growing Large Plants Outdoors thread, started by Tom Hill, if you’re in for a bit of a read.
If l haven’t explained things clearly ask again.
40
P.S. l also topdress with as much composted cow manure as to fill the beds up again during the winter. In some cases it can be as much as a cubic meter or more. It’s totally ridiculous volumes of soil but l do this for fitness and it’s all carried in by pack load.
Here’s a cheaky picture of an Ancient Og f5. It actually got a lot bigger than this but it’s the only picture of it over at Mr ‘n Mrs Schrews “MotherLode Gardens” Insta page. I did post it up around 2018 or 19 in the “Outdoors” thread

 

[40degsouth]

Hey everyone, I really hope you’re all going well.
All the plants in the gardens have transitioned, l took some close ups but they haven’t turned out that well.
I took a shot of the two big plants for you all, the one l cleaned out a month or more ago is on the left, the other is on the right.

I was thinking that there’s not much difference between the two but then l saw a branch had died off on the one on the right and at closer inspection….

I’ll be trying to fix this issue tomorrow because once it girdles the stem it’s game over in my experience.
The volunteer plant continues to grow but the node spacing is shortening and the first pistils are showing. The limb l tried to save has not healed.

The tri-leader plant is still doing well and has a bit more of a flat top than her sister’s. Some of the other tri-leaders have put more energy into one of the leaders than the others and has obviously allowed one to grow taller than the other two.

And a final picture of the plant that had early phosphorus deficiency. You can see two things in this picture, the first being, she’s as tall as her sister’s but not as wide and the morning light is becoming less intense and a bit more yellow.

Cheers,
40

Morning all, wishing you a wonderful day, The girls are in flower, and looking wonderful. Some beautiful big sativa's, even though the girls were topped regularly during veg, they grew like bodybuilders on roids.

 

[FTL]

@40degsouth @Side

Looking fkn awesome guys!

 

[Side]

Some more pics. My favourite sativa called #7 snapped down the centre from between the top node branches (Due to Topping) all the way down to next node down. as can be seen in pictures # 4303 and 4308. I packed her with Aloe Ferox sap, encased the break in aloe ferox leaves with the sap side around the long split stem and tied her up and she's over 10ft now with absolutely no sign of any problems.

The pic # 4311 is a beautiful little sativa that grew un aided and un planned in the corner of my wife's veggie box.
If you are looking through the flowers picture #4312 the sativa on the right was once apon a time an incredibly ugly abused bonsai sativa, which grew between 2 paving bricks in my driveway, possibly driven over multiple times until she got 2 inches tall and I noticed her fighting for life.
I took out the bricks and gave her a shot at showing her stuff. No matter how fucked up a tough little sativa seeding starts off there is a chance she grows into a super smelling size queen. Just look at her now she's easily 12 or 13ft.

Have a good one all.

Side.

 

[40degsouth]

Hey everyone,
Looking good Side. Also looks like you’re a week or two in front of me too.
Here’s a technique l came up with a couple of years ago to combat the fusarium. It’s simply eucalyptus oil that slowly leaks out onto some material tie that’s wrapped around the plant. I’ve found that as long as the stem hasn’t been girdled by it ia good plant will keep chugging along. This plant is becoming wider than her sisters probably because of the fungal infection on the stem.

Plants are swallowing their cages and the Blackdogs have started flowering in earnest. I got a question about light, in the garden, so I thought I’d follow it up with a couple of pictures. The first is of my Blackdog clone that receives less direct sunlight than it’s sister in another spot. The first and more developed, gets less morning light.

The volunteer plant is starting to get pretty big and I estimate it to be about two and a half meters tall. She’s not that wide because l used a different technique of support than the cage and chose to wrap her instead. The lateral that came off has started healing but I’m not holding out a lot of hope. It was more of an experiment than anything else.

And here’s the plant that displayed phosphorus deficiency in the beginning. It’s also now having some sort of weird ,reveg type thing going on. It’s the only plant showing these symptoms. Cannabis really doesn’t like carrots at all.

And to finish up with a picture of a cabbage flower full of aphids, right up against one of the girls. It’s funny the lady birds haven’t eaten them yet but I guess it’s an example of why I companion plant and try to ensure plant diversity in the garden.

 

[40degsouth]

Here’s the picture from the last post showing a bit of abnormal leaf development.

Cheers,
40.

 

[40degsouth]

Hey everyone. Feeding day today so l got a few shots for you all. First up is the volunteer plant, she’s fully transitioned and starting to stack. I’ve included a picture of a branch off the lateral, that I tied up after it disconnected from the main stem just in case someone’s interested in how it’s recovered.

The plant that started off with a bit of phosphorus deficiency.

Here’s a close up of the plant that has fusarium. If you look closely you can see the branch that has died off but the top of the plant remains healthy.

You can see how quickly these plants stack from this downward facing picture. We’ve probably got four weeks left.

And l thought I’d take a few of some of the other flowers in the garden. In my experience, carrot flowers are the best for bringing in beneficials.

l hope your all doing well and enjoying your gardens.
Cheers,
40

Wow Brother!!!!!
What an incredible gift you are giving us. Thanks for this invaluable information which is pure gold. Thanks for sharing, thanks to Bradley as well.
If it is ok, i will write you, once I am 100% sure of growing OD.
Brother again thanks for this gem of info🫶🫶🫶

Thanks Persianfarmer, l really appreciate such a heart warming response, it means a lot to me.
Because I’ve jumped back on to respond to you l thought I’d add one final picture of the highly oxygenated feed. I upped the H2O2 today because it’s a bit overcast. There’s one cup of %50 hydrogen peroxide that l get from a local cleaning company. Be very careful with this strength, if you drop it on the dry ground it will start fires, as l found out a few years ago. I left the bottle in the garden and in the sun the bottle expanded and some of the liquid came out under pressure and started a fire……who knew.
Only add this just before your about to feed.

Bro you do not need to thank me, it is quite the opposite in fact. I thank you and thank you again for being such a Human Being (HB). You know in this have century of existence I had so far, I found out that HBs are becoming more rare, so whenever I have the privilege to meet one, I always make sure to show my thanks and gratitude. So thank you for making your acquaintance and love your passion which is intoxicating

I hear you brother loud and clear. I have been trying to find Oxygen peroxide for a long time, but it is super scarce here. As they used here for hair coloration mostly and now they use other chemicals. For the moment the best alternative I could find was Carbonated Water ( as I grow on balcony unfortunately).

Brother also, I did not see you mentioning any beneficial microbe, rizosphere and necromass soil. Do you use them or your soil is so active that there is no need? Do you make any beneficial fungi? Any Lacto B?
