I moved the girls into the greenhouse. Rain over the last 2 days was heavy and in Clogland it doesn't get much better. I want to get them under the glass as once the wet weather sets in they just never get dry, and then nasty things happen. So hopefully early enough this time to enjoy some nice flowers come October.






And the lettuce I moved outside....


Peace, DST
some big plants there, very nice. how long will they take to finish now?
mate doing greenhouse grow in cormwall has completely fucked plants. snail abused and rot with a little bit off rabbit damage(no not the sex toy) on his few outdoors ones as well.

Damn they are huge D, are they late or have outdoor plant's not started flowering yet ? And did you give up on gorilla growing?

They are bang on time, T flowering only kicks in over here about September, so you get at least 8-9 weeks before it gets dicey with the weather. August is normally all about the stretch, and once that's done the plant is just packing on flowers (which is is doing now). I'll pop up a pic in a bit.

And yes, gorilla growing was taking up too much time and was a pain considering my whole grow the first time got trampled, lol. Bloody swans. I can't believe how much I time I spent to get around 2 bongs worth, haha.

So I guess this is week 1 of flowering. Gave them a spray as per usual, there are always a couple of critters you want to get rid of.

Peace, DST

Done a lot of training to keep these things away from the roof of the greenhouse. It's going to be tuff but we shall persevere as they always did in good old Leith.







Peace, DST

Cheers Xub, bloody Caterpillars have arrived again, as have what looks like yellow aphides. We had some real hot weather while I was away at the weekend and I think the beasties set in then. It's all been sprayed with neem, as have the avocados and strelitzea, but I think I'll be down the garden centre looking for something to make those caterpillars sick and give them stomach pains the little shits!

Hey DST - The Safer piller killer works great. Make sure you use 7ml per liter. I also read that lots of sugar (molassas) gives you a high Brix and that deters bugs from eating the plant.

As for your height issue, may I suggest some LST? Spread those ladies apart and watch them triple in size ;)


Here is my Big Clone after LST spreading:





Cheers,

cheers Mo, I have been lst'ing them, supercropping them, trying to spread the main trunks a bit to splay them out...I'll get there. And I was just thinking this moring I will give them some of my organic bloem feed which is mainly molasses:)

I can see a giant tree in your sig, but no pic in your post?
