Shov Summer '13 Outdoor

[Shovelhandle]

I don't like to repeat myself, but for you I will.

The corn doesn't get harvested until after the pot comes in 9 times out of 10. The plants will be getting tied over and away from the corn rows now that the painting contractors working on my house are done. The plants are not as close to the corn rows as it appears in the photos. The harvester, should it come early and unannounced (that is most unlikely, I have that covered as well) will not touch the pot plants. I hope this puts an end to this subject. It's not that I don't appreciate your concern but I try to have short grow threads, not ten pages long cluttered with... clutter. I don't care if people ask questions (as long as it isn't the same question over and over, dig?) but I don't mind at all if they don't.

Bye bye, come again!

yut, in the compost tea. It's made in a 5 gallon batch. A couple of cups of compost, and a pinch of either biotone or Plant Success mycorrizhae and a 5 tablespoons of unsulphured mollasses. The brew is run with air for two days. It is then diluted, 4 cups into two gallons of water and applied to the ground. It can also be applied foliar. I have been using the extra brew for my garden, houseplants and outdoor trees, which I apply around the tree's drip line.

The two Euro plants on the edge of the corn field are now pulled down away from the corn rows. Wife said it looks too obvious/noticeable but a few hours later the branches reach for the sun and the bushes are shorter and not able to be seen from the road. The view from the road was just a slit between trees and bushes that no one could see while driving by but now the elevation is lower and completely out of site. The corn isn't going anywhere until later October.

Yut in the tea? Don't know the slang please define, tx

Just so I can keep log of some of the nutrient feedings I'll try and catch up some here if memory works well.
Early on in veg they got compost tea w/ molasses and Age Old bloom, Plant Success mycos. Two applications. Also they likely got some Espoma composted manure and Espoma Plant-Tone early on.. As the Euros went into teh soil as seedlings they didn't get nothin' for a while, yut? (yut = localese for 'Yes")
Then two applications of compost tea w/molasses and Age Old bloom, Cal-mag and Earth Juice Meta-K and Plant Success.
Yesterday's feeding was Cal-mag, molasses and Earth Juice Meta-K.
Last week I tied them Euros over away from the corn and down, out of sight. The others are very well hidden, same spots as the same strains last year.
Photo update coming this Friday.

It's so much better when you have a game plan! Do like the stealth.

I had a plant come up in a patch of beans that were growing in a grey water ditch (next year beans are going in my boxes ) I didn't know it was there until the beans started falling over then it just took off, it's in mostly shade under a big oak tree. Humble pie anyone I got some extra.......

two more weeks. The buds that were barely showing are filling out pretty nicely.

Here's the European Outdoor strain from Mr Nice Seeds. A mysterious hybrid thought to be skunk in heritage. Seven generations of cultivation in Switzerland, about the same latitude as my localization.

the closer one in the side shot his the frostier, the taller plant (well was before they were tied over) is still very frosty. The other two Mr Nice Seeds strains a were started earlier than these girls. Neither show visible (to my poor eyesight) trichomes, yet.

This plant is on the west side of a tree. On the left side is the Shit plant.

Nice complicated stinkage.

[Shovelhandle]

Last year, same location it was destroyed in a wind storm. (see last summer's log)
I grew out a run of SHIT indoors and gifted out clones for a bud to run.

And this season it's only been broken off twice so far. Shit!

Also complex stinkage, only different
