So Irene was basically a little bitch. At least for this area, sorry to all those seriously affected by it.
That said, she did push some stuff over, but nothing like the wind storms (one in particular) we got last year. But, lucky for me, none of the large females in bags got touched. Here's some pictures:
1-3 : In-ground clone lady knocked over
. But a quick, temporary solution did her good.
4-8 : The rest of the mess, easily cleaned. (The male is no longer there)
9-10 : Daddy Long Leg, Harvestmen, whatever you wanna call 'em. No threat to people or most animals of decent size, but a fierce predator of the more-so microscopic world. Good buddy to have take refuge in my plant.
11-14 : Thought this was an eggsack at first, but it's just a little crab spider of sorts.
15 : And the last arachnid I'd found on just one plant. Glad to have all the infantry.
16 : Just amazes me that these plants are only a month and a half old.
17: Some teen bud porn. Silly greenish fuzzy pistils.
So all is well. Next year I'm gonna need some 20+ gallon bags or smartpots, seeing the growth I've achieved in a month and some. I've moved out of the ground...I feel softened :\. Maybe I'll do some super ground babies as well, I'm just loving the results of these bags.
Another concern is that they'll not finish in time. I'm sure the clones that I put in the ground will, but those youngin's I wonder about. Time will tell.
Bon voyage. Happy growings (and flowerings)
