RGS outdoor comp - auto amnesia and pink cherry pie

[mr.brunch]

HaHa! Decisions decisions, your plants are pretty close together, maybe best to tie top over and train them away from your autos? They will be big bushes if you top them. But I do love a flatter toped bush so I usually top later finishing plants at the 8-10th node then tie down branches to spread them out. Good luck with your decision

I’m hoping the autos will be out of the way by the end of July / start of August , roughly around when the cherries start flowering giving me more space for the stretch
That’s the plan anyway
I did some mighty gold bx1 in this spot a couple of years ago and they went above the 6’6 fence so hoping to avoid that!
All the best

I think a bird tried to land on one of the autos because one was bent/snapped sideways this morning- I put in a metal stick and propped her up, she seems to be righting herself

Looking well, although I think the one that got landed on is not going to get much taller

Thinking about putting them in the ground tomorrow if the weather holds

What a difference between the two strains. Quite chunky leaves on the pie

 

[Kree73]

And they’re up….

Right from the start. Look at those two on the bottom. Straight out of the starting blocks, chasing the hare ( sun in this case )

Day 36
I tied back the pcp slightly to start their bending journey, and tied the big AA to a stick as it was leaning a bit much
Got to give them a good watering later as it’s been dry lately

They have shot right up . Seems they have taken root

They certainly have- the bed was dug out (couple of years ago now) to 2ft deep and raised by 6 inches, bottom 6” well rotted compost and filled with recycled indoor soil- then at the start of the year I mixed in 80L of recycled and about 100L of mature compost heap.
It’s a very soft and light bed, the planting holes were dug with bare hands, no tools needed

 

[Hillbilly69]

Nice! They have taken off for sure! So any sign of flowering on the AA?

Pistils starting to appear….

And did little more LST on the PCP
Tying back to the north

 

[mr.brunch]

Made use of the caging on the ground and some garden twist ties to spread the lowers out- and removed the two massive leaves on the pcps to let them branch out

Day 40

excellent !

this contest turn in a torture competition

 

[Hillbilly69]

I agree! We're all giving at least one lady a hard time! Looking good Mr Brunch, your ladies look very happy!

 

[mr.brunch]

It seems that they liked their bit of torture, they bounced back quickly.
The smaller amnesia did continue to grow after all
Day 45
Gave them a good drenching with feed… still hot weather so they needed it. Possible rain tomorrow, but the outlook is hot and sunny

And the bushy pcps

I see the auto's are preparing for a shed loads of bud . The bushy ones sometimes hide good nuggs too
