Jake's Bunches O' Beans Grow Log

[jakezking]

The NL which showed male a short time ago has been replanted beside the OS, CRH, and BBL. Any of those crosses would be nice, especially since all 4 plants are really good-lookin' (and, hopin' the CRH and BBL are female!). At the very least, I'll be happy to carry on the OS (1 bean left) in an NL cross. Back to the NL already in progress - he really came back from having some attention in a container; it looks like he's been on steroids, but he just enjoyed some Schultz 10-15-10 and Superthrive - both according to the outdoor container directions.

1 Lemon Skunk is still in the ground, and I just replanted the 2nd and smaller of the 2 in a container to give her some special attention. She's gotten some soil additive with mycorrhizae which should be interesting; she'll need stronger root development since she hadn't stretched her legs much while she was in ground. She's also getting some fish emulsion 5-1-1. I'm banking on her being a she since she is feminized (some serious female references hoping that if you believe in it it will be).

The other LS is still dwarfed due to bad spot around the SSH which is suffering about the same fate. We can't all have a day in the Sun. I'll try hard to circulate them back to container and a better location.

Pics 1-2 show the NL; he's a stocky lil' dude
Pics 3 and 4 show the newly re-potted LS
Pic 5 shows the LS still in ground

I'll try to make sure the SSH makes it into the next round of pics. I think it will have to make it back to a container for better care. I still have a few SSH beans though, so unfortunately it may not get as much care this season.

That should wrap 'er up. I hope all of y'all are doing and being good out there!

DP, I couldn't have come up with a better quote. I'm glad to be a pothead, because we are a generous and loving people. I need to catch up with you, my friend to see how it is with you. I hope you're doing and feeling good!

30 Rock is a pretty dang good show, and there's 1 comment that Tina Fey often makes (as uttered by her young daughter) that for some reason makes me laugh - "I want to go to there!" But, dang if it isn't the perfect comment to make to your reply. What you been smokin', amigo?

I'm lookin' forward to some nice variety for a change - the Summer has brought me close to the end of last season's yield.

some white widow from a friend...:thumbsup:...harvested a little early?...but, the price was right...free....except for side bets...whenever, I get something for free?...I usually pay for it in advance

[jakezking]

I had no doubt that you pay it forward, my friend! WW is a wicked woman whose presence I have not yet shared. But, oh yes - 1 day she will be mine, if only for a brief time. I'm leavin' it with you, DP - I hope you have a great night and days to come.

Jake, Oh those tomato caterpillar are major PITAS! At least they are easy to kill. A trick I do to prep soil where I might plant in the ground is after I chop I take the soil from the pots and dump them in the area and then let nature do its thing over the winter and come spring any nutes left over in the soil has washed into the ground. I just harvested some of my AF's and have another load on the clothes line.

bickey, thanks for stopping by - the SSH is a sweet smoke; unfortunately, mine got the shaft when it came to "product placement." It doesn't get much sunshine, but my locations are pretty limited. My Bubblelicious is definitely male, so I'll probably cut it, and will most likely throw the SSH in its spot, so your rooting for the underdog may help her out! I'll throw up some pics of the SSH in a second. Be good out there!

luna, you are right from top to bottom - that nasty lil' caterpillar tried to get at me with his/her choppers and stinger (probably all for show, but I wasn't in the mood to get stung/bitten by yet another insect; if there is a stinging insect anywhere around, most likely it's going to nail me!), but it was such an interesting lil' dude that I put it on a sapling tree that's sprung up. I've started doing pretty much the same thing with used soil - I have a nice dumpin' ground where I put it along with any veggies that don't make it. I'll start using it to mix into the native soil to help out some; I have just been using my potting mix straight in the hole; my bad locations are primarily lacking in sunlight. I was happy to see your recent harvests! Take good care out there, and stay high!

SSH is really making a pretty strong comeback from the Neem Oil fiasco that dang near killed it early in its vegetative stage. Despite the lack of sufficient sunlight, it's really beginning to reach for the sky. It will probably be getting a better location in the next week or so, when I finally chop my Bubblelicious male who recently confirmed early suspicions.

Good news - both Sour Cream are ladies!

So, we now have:

NL - male
Old School - BBW (big beautiful woman)
Colombian Red Haze (looks to be female)
Sour Cream (2) (both female)
Lemon Skunk (2) (feminized, so should be fems)
SSH (undetermined)

The NL is in-ground close to the OS and CRH (and, probably where I will put the SSH), so I'm looking forward to some nice beans. My sinsemilla will come from the SCs!

Y'all be good out there!
