If it truly is what they say, it's a no brainer. I made a point to mention it because I can't find any posts of anyone using this stuff or giving feedback. If this grow goes smooth, I imagine I won't be the only one on here running this stuff next year.

Got the last 5 in the ground today. Took a rediculous amount of runs with the atv and a small trailer. Time for a victory beer.

Been a few weeks. Thought I'd post an update. Things are going great. Had a heat issue with a few plants during a wave we had a couple weeks ago, but they've all recovered. I've been feeding ej lineup with age old kelp once a week. Also, started foliar feeding liquid karma in carbonated water every other night. Noticed a big difference in the plants growth and overall health. I am battling a few leaf hoppers that I found this morning, nothing significant. The sns209 ive been soil feeding did not seem to deter them. I sprayed some in foliar a little while ago to see if a fresh spraying will drive them off. Will check in the morning, If it doesnt work im going to combat them with some spinosad. They are around about 2'6" tall, will probably start lst this next week.

So I started bending 3 of them today, and.....snap. I broke a large branch on one of the plants. I'm pissed. It's still somewhat attached so I tied it up hoping it'll keep growing.20170606_180803.jpg20170606_180744.jpg

Yeah man don't trip, you're looking good right now! Shit happens, but it will heal over time. If you want to help speed that along, get yourself an aloe filet and squeeze the gel out of it and apply it to the wound. Will heal up much faster that way, if it can heal burns just imagine what it can do to plant wounds ;)

I also couldn't help but notice your bug problem in an earlier post. If I may recommend crab meal as a top dress as well as an organic pesticide that has done wonders for me outdoors.

Take some habeneros or the hottest peppers you can find, no hot sauce though, actual peppers at least as hot as a habenero. Boil it in a sauce pan with some onion and garlic and let it concentrate a bit, then dilute it in a sprayer at a 10:1 ratio. Smells like crap, but it works and is very effective. I've done this until the last 2-3 days in flower without any negative effects, outdoors I have more of a risk for mold with caterpillars than I do with foliar sprays. Just make sure it's not during the hottest parts of the day, around sun up or sun down. Habeneros are enough to make even some adults tear up, imagine what it'll do to any pest that even thinks of eating your babies. They'll die once they take a bite.

So far so good though my man!

I like the aloe idea, but where would I find an aloe filet? Also, used some spinosad on the leaf hopping bastards the next morning. They haven't been back as of yet.

It's pretty much just one of the leaves from the aloe plant itself, I believe Home Depot or Lowes sells established aloe plants and you can just use the leaves from one of those just fine :)

Update: Everything is rolling along just fine. I'm amazed at how tolerant the plants are of this heat wave we are having. The broken branches have healed and grown. Nutrients are being used once a week, with liquid karma in carbonated water being sprayed every other night. The plants are just about 3ft tall and wide. Lots of tops. Ready for the next layer of cage.

Finally got everything running on an automated drip system so I'm not having to hike around the property. Using two 360 degree bubbler heads per plant scheduled for 10 minutes per watering at 845pm and at 530am daily.

One thing I'm growing very frustrated with is earth juice grow. It's too inconsistent. I've been adding 9-6-2 fish and guano to my nutes to make up for the extremely watered down bottles of grow I got this last time. I'm thinking about switching to botanicare since the local shop has every product and I've been impressed with the liquid karma. Any suggestions on an organic nutrient line would be appreciated. If Ej was more consistent I wouldnt even consider switching.

Things are going good. I got a little laxed on my deer netting and I paid a price. One of them did some significant damage on the two in smart pots. Got my deer tag in the mail, his days are numbered. Put up some more netting in the meantime.

I've only given nutrients twice this month. Didn't seem to slow them down much, but one has grown slower than the others. I'm trying to think of what might be causing it. The dual watering schedule has made them very tolerate of all these heat waves, they show no stress when we get triple digits like they previously did a month or two ago. The ones in the pictures are just over 4' tall and about 4 1/2' wide. The other 5 that i havent been posting pics of are around 5 1/2' tall with less training(It's a pain in the ass to hike down the hill in the heat). I'm excited to see how big these monsters get.

You should probably make your own thread if you want to show off your plants man. That way someone doesn't take it as you're trying to hijack their thread or anything. Not giving you any shit, just letting you know some don't take kindly to it.
