Ok, so remember the bear on my porch? Turns out it wasnt a bear, but a skunk. I used to have a big Fat Skunk that watched out over my garden, kind of as a security guard. But Daisy was much bigger, I think a female, and I believe this is an offspring. Seems she is rare as well, as this skunk has a Black stripe and white tail, instead of one or two white stripes with a black tail.
Now to the garden. I showed pictures where I had to chop the top of that cola because it had bud rot. It left this yellow wound which I am wondering if I should spray with hydrogen peroxide or something that kills bud rot, you can see in the middle there is almost a brown core... too bad, it was abeautiful bud. I dont want to chop early, but if the plant begins to exhibit signs of rot, should I just chop it or let it go. I have not heard of any way to treat bud rot that begins at the inner core, anyone?
So this is the bottom half of the cola I had to chop. Good news is I havent seen any more as of yet, and although all weather reports looked good a few days ago, now we have fog Th Fr Sat, and rain showers Sun Mon Tue Wed and Fri. As with Mother Nature, all things are due to change. But I guess its a coin toss wether its for the better or the worse. ARRGHH!!.
Next item is that the plants seem to have weathered the 3 day frost, which was actually 3 day weather in the 30's, and they soaked up the feeding I provided. Now the tips are starting to do a 'Missile' thing where they are coming to more of a point, see next pic...
As opposed to the 'Round Top' fat colas we all love to see, next pic...
Errr, wait, round top...
I dont know what the pointy top thing is, hopefully its stretching out just a little more and will fill out in the last few weeks. Might be able to pull of a first to second week of October harvest, and If that the case, Im going to need to start flushing the first week of October. Guess I will have to wait until the first to see if I am going to give them one last feeding, or start the flush.
I want to thank you all for your pics, advice and general social knowledge sharing. I find I use this site not more than FB, but AS my fb, lol, and I know a lot of you are probably sick of seeing all my posts in their redundancies. It gives me something to do and with my health issues, I cant get around much, so this is my thing right now. Beats the hell out of PornHub I think. Umm, not that I really know what PornHub is, lol. But you get my drift.
All I got for now, peace.
