Update Aug. 20: Full on budding happening now. Front row is 2 Chocolate Creams to the left and center, with the Gorilla Bomb to the right. Back row.....Sweet Soma to the far left, AK Widow 47 in the center, and the Hashchis to the right. The Sweet Soma is my smallest girl. She got the late start. Hashchis up front with the two CC's behind her. Damn near twice the height of the Hashchis. The shade cloth is at 6 foot. So far the only feeding I've done is by putting a 5" top dressing on my soil of this fine stuff. Supposed to be higher in the P & K ranges but even the slight N in the mix has caused the tips of my leaves to get that 'eagle claw'. They are quite dark green too. Hopefully it's not too much N....will have to wait and see. Just experimenting.
Update August 27: Not much news to report other than the girls are flowering nicely now. Still not fed them other than the top dressing last week and yet they look pretty good. The Gorilla Bomb has some yellowing of the lower leaves as expected but that strain is a nute hog! She's just gonna have to tuff it out I'm afraid. Getting rather hard to navigate the garden now. Those girls have spread out like crazy! The back row. I switched the Sweet Soma and AK Widow47 with one another so the Soma could get more light. She's now in the middle with the Hashchis in the foreground and the AKW47 to the rear left. The two Chocolate Creams. This strain has quickly become my favorite for many reasons. Great smoke....50 day finisher....and great bud structure to name a few. CC#1: CC#2: Gorilla Bomb (rear center): AK Widow47: Hashchis: Sweet Soma:
Some more pictures of the garden. I have a lot packed into a 10'x10' area. I can turn sideways and 'skinny' through, but I'm still brushing up with the girls since they are chest high to me. No wonder my cat likes it in here. Looks like a sweet hangout!
Update September 3: All's well, and the garden smells G O O D! Gorilla Bomb: Chocolate Cream: AK Widow 47: Hashchis: Sweet Soma:
The taller Chocolate Cream was pushing up into the shade cloth so I weighed her down a bit. Worked perfect.
Looking good. When the garden starts smelling my anxiety goes way the fuck up. My anxiety is way the fuck up.
Yesterday I was pressure washing my front porch so I can paint and all day long I could smell my garden. I do wonder if the neighbors can smell it, but honestly...I just don't care.
