They measure just shy of 8 feet tall. Still getting bigger. Some leaves at the very bottom of both plants are yellowing, and I'm not sure if that's a big problem or not. Preflowers but nothing really new to note. I'm in Portland for the next 8 days, father in law was diagnosed with cancer and broke his hip a week after starting chemo and then got a stomach infection, we're here to more or less wellness check. Husband's estranged brother called him and said their dad looked like he was ready to go and scared him into flying us out on short notice. Next plant update will be the 18th.

Best wishes, thoughts and energy to your father in law. I hope your husband is doing ok. Find some time for yourself too. :hug:

Looks great! First thing to start flowering in my garden this year was Durban Poison. Will be mostly a seed crop I guess. I have two males, White Lightning x Iranian Early flower. We'll see.

I have some plants I'll be more focused on a seed crop, as well, due to the septoria. But I am lucking out with this Choke a Cola x Root Beer freeze that began flowering in June,(and didn't reveg)!PXL_20230818_224242012.jpg

Interesting that it flowered so early. I've never grown those strains. I'm hoping that what starts flowering early doesn't have a long flowering time, making it finish late anyway.

I have 2 phenos of this, and the second one is going into flowering normally, for here. I have already tried some from the cola I intentionally seeded, (and harvested from), and it is very good! I'm guessing it will be done in early Sept., based on how everything looks. Just one of those random early phenos, that didn't reveg, is my guess. Here is where it came from. https://www.regenerativeseeds.com/shop/dutch-blooms/choko-cola-x-rootbeer-freezef3/

I'd love a strain that finished that early.

What's up everyone,
Jasper was killed by a hawk on Tuesday and I've been grieving her really hard, so I haven't really been paying attention for a bit.. here are some pics. Both girls have fan leaves going yellow and it's probably because between my absence in Maine and my negligence as a result of events.

I have fed them with tiger bloom since returning from Maine on the 18th.

When should I stop using neem to control aphids?

That really sucks. We lost a housecat a few years back. As much as i wanted to blame coyotes, it was probably a hawk or an owl. Got another short tail and she is strictly an indoor cat.

Plants look great. Once you go into flower( which is pretty much now for you) you want to stop using neem as it can affect taste. A citric acid based insecticide is your friend during this stage of growth. Flying Skulls "Nuke em" can be bought but is expensive. Food grade citric acid is a cheaper route and can be mixed before use. Both may also help with reducing powdery mildew. Best of luck with the continued grow. Sorry about Jasper:peace:

Your plant looks great! The bottom leaves will start yellowing this time of year on healthy outdoor plants, some more than others. If I were you I would top dress some organic flowering formula like this now, and maybe one more time in a month. https://drearth.com/product/flower-girl/
