Yogi, 30 degrees below is scary cold, way too cold to contemplate. Pretty purple plants thoughwish you were here 3rd cup heating up atm, its amazing, 10mg per cup too lol. mood: Saturday chill. the bricks (or clay shards, rocks heck i have a 5lb hammer head heating atm.) w my canopies the heat is trapped. though i could cover w plastic, sheets etc to hold in more heat. a little go a long way believe it or not. ive got two bricks on clay shards w more shard on top five feet apart, the hibachi is almost touching my ground orchid container. adding stones next. skirting mid to low 30°f here.
keeps turning the plants towards the purps though
Sounds like any given day for us, walking to the corner store for a slushy!!30 degrees below
30° good lord no please no -30° lol whoo im good but not that goodYogi, 30 degrees below is scary cold, way too cold to contemplate. Pretty purple plants though
misread that hahaha, still 30 is cold enuff!30° good lord no please no -30° lol whoo im good but not that good
Oh gosh, I can't have that Yogi, lololol. First off it will finish in this 20 liter pot because I can't afford to pot up. I am going to have to prune dramatically to avoid a massive tree if that's going to be the tendency. I guess I will have to watch it. I wouldn't want more than say 12 colas but I am not sure I will manage that many in such a small pot. Flowering is expected in about mid Feb.that will be a beast Carmen im sitting here chuckling away sipping coffee looking at that. a quad sativa w each branch loaded with secondary branches - about what, 8 of them? yeah 32 colas thus far and most likely each main branch will be growing for a while so possibly a whole lot more cola sites. the trimming looks good, its amazing how it will fill in and then we look and wonder did we really trim it hard 2 weeks ago.
Anyhow. ive found cutting branches back not a problem. i tend to use a maxim of tree care, no more than 1/3 of the canopy removed at a time. tricky for a stateside guy like me to know when flowering starts in a land of 12 hours of light a year but i would think you have time for significant growth to achieve more secondary, tertiary branching. the only in the ground sativa i grew hit 17 feet at lat 28N (thaitantic. epic herb) i pulled it over every six feet and tied it off to stakes. lol you have four main branches, i had one. you will garden under its shade if I'm not mistaken.
Don’t worry, we all are in the same boat!I'm not confident that I know what I am doing here.
it was ridiculous. used to nap under it. I got away w it because it was growing out from under a yellow striped bamboo, blended right in, lol for a while. Glad the plant is in a 20 liter or 5 gallon for us yanks, root control w a sativa is everything imo. in your neck of the woods are multiple year round grows possible? hey have a good evening!Oh gosh, I can't have that Yogi, lololol.

I have a few sativas and one that is already hip height. I expect that will be pretty tall by the end and that one is in the ground. You 17 ft plant must have been a monster!
Ah BLS it's not my property I am a tenant. It is very beautiful here. I am enjoying it while it lasts.I just wanna add, you have a beautiful piece of property, with an ocean view! I would love to see some pictures of the landscape around you! (Without you giving away you’re location)
You know who could answer that question, is @Lerugged. I believe that one of the plants I am growing yields well in our winter. I think it is very much strain specific because our winters are typically very wet and quite cold. So it is possibly only the indigenous plants that do so well. (hey LR when you pop in )in your neck of the woods are multiple year round grows possible?
Thank you Pennywise. Do you think I should cut some of the new branches of that top section, which is now bent down? I guess I don't know what to expect of the growth going forward.At this point you can treat it like any other plant as far as training.
Thanks LR, this is food for thought!I do 3 harvests a year. 4th in the middle of winter is not worth it though be honest. It's not cold like heavy snow but can get chilly. Maybe snow on the mountains. As soon as my summer grow is harvested the clones go out into the pots. Some yield tighter nugs with better terps by far. Some are stretchy but full of trichs. Also needs to be mold resistant. Happy New year.
Thank you Celt for swinging by mine to help. I love the idea of a ground cover shrub!Morning Carmen
I am behind in all the journals I follow, so shooting me a PM was a good way to get my attn
First, a note on the plant you are training, you can keep pulling those 4 limbs out and pin them down right up until you see flowering. You can also pull secondary branches down as well making her appear like a ground cover shrub.
After she is about 2 weeks into flower, trim off any spindly lower branches and let her go
As for LABs and teas, next time you make LABs, mix some of the serum 50/50 with molasses and store in an airtight container somewhere cool (fridge, cold cellar, etc) and it will keep for months and not go septic on you.
As for your fermented banana tea, if it doesn’t smell septic, it is fine to use and should have worked as intended. Not sure how much molasses you used, but molasses alone has ~ 1.4% K as well as carbohydrates (carbon source for microbes).
Thinking back to your tea that went septic, if you have a drill and mixing paddle, you could mix your teas a few times a day to aerate them. Just a thought for future endeavours
Anytime mateThank you Celt for swinging by mine to help.
