Hurray pics!

They look happy enough, they would have been bigger if you started earlier, but they're still vegging now. Buds will be along shortly as the days get shorter

.

What are you feeding them with?

Mikey · 08-14-2010, 06:52 AM

with water?
i started them all out in little pots, then once they got bigger i put them in cut off 2 liter pop bottles with nothing but that good mulch,
then when i upgraded to these pots i filled em up with good soil and some of that good mulch on top
and now im just keeping them watered?

my wife ripped out some of the big fan leaves on them (which pissed me off i figured if theyre not budding yet they need all the photosynthesis they need right? pfft she doesn't even smoke)

so do you think i might get a bud or two farmergiles?

farmergiles · 08-14-2010, 07:43 AM

Hell yes you'll get buds. Once the days are short enough flowering is triggered.

Yeah, don't remove the fan leaves now.

Some ferts might be good soon, though they've done fine with what you've given them so far.

Mikey · 08-14-2010, 07:45 AM

wow, nice those are really encouraging words,

so what kinda ferts should i get? even if their doing fine i want to help as much as i can

i work on a farm so i have access to mulch/lime loads of stuff but i dont mind going and buying whatever i need too

You could get some grow nutes and flowering nutes from a hydro shop.
Or use any plant food or fertiliser with an even- ish npk ratio. Use as directed but maybe lower dosage and occasionally just use water. I don't know if there are any mineral ferts kicking around on the farm, if so run the npk by us?
Or top dress with worm castings.

You can make a tea with nettles (boil, steep somewhere warm for a few days, strain and serve the liquid). Alphalpha, worm castings, bat guano would also be good ingredients in a tea. They love batshit, specially once they start flowering.

Be careful not to use anything too strong or they'll burn.

IDK if it is handier for you to have them in pots.
If you plant them in the ground you could put a shovel of cow shit under each plant, not too shallow or they might burn. Compost could be added likewise.

What things can you get hold of?

Mikey · 08-21-2010, 07:49 AM

i haven't been able to get them any ferts, so i've just been watering them
in the morning the leaves look limp like in these pics i just took
it's been getting real cold at night recently like 10 degrees celcius,
but then during the day once they get a good dose of sun they uncurl and look gorgeous is this something to worry about?
and do they seem ok?
only one of them seems to be budding the really skinny lanky tall looking one:

Mikey · 08-29-2010, 08:55 AM

ok so please please tell me how do you tihnk they are doing now?
by the looks of it i think only one of them is a female the really tall lanky flowery looking one, sorry if the pics aren't great i did my best,

and it's starting to get really cold outside at night now like 10 degrees celcius, are they going to die?

i know i started them late so i don't know if i'll get anything out of this....any advice or info would be super appreciated!

vaporedout · 08-29-2010, 09:13 AM

10 and 9 look to be females

males : 19,18,16,15,14,13

toss those males. unless you have other reasons you want em.

Mikey · 08-29-2010, 10:03 AM

would there be any reasons to keep them? are male plant scraps good for anything?

Mikey · 08-31-2010, 09:07 AM

and is it too cold for them at night now?
can anyone tell me please?
it gets down to like 10 degrees celcius now nighttime
and even colder here since they're right next to the sea and get ocean wind 24/7

Dandaweedman · 08-31-2010, 11:08 AM

Males are great for pollenation.

don't worry too much about the low teens..........some like me, like to grow in tires to ensure they stay warm at night......u could put dry straw down around the base.....like they do in strawberry fields.
