Simply Amazing
When we last visited the garden we spent the day caging the plants and removing lowers to allow better air flow. I didn’t understand how big they were going get and I was concerned with the amount of shoots Dave removed but I didn’t need to worry. Thinning the garden became a must as the plants grew into each other and air flow was reduced. We stopped by on August 4th early in the morning so I could capture some shots that included some nice sun beams and what a glorious day it was. Dave met us in the garden with his Oregon Green Free T-shirt on and a sprayer full of Fulvic acid that he was spraying the plants with. Fulvic acid Dave tells me helps the plants uptake of Nitrogen and he swears by it veg and even in early budding. Lots of old school growers think you have to start from seed to achieve giant plants but your going to see Dave prove this wrong. One plant that clearly stood out on this visit was Eric77’s California Orange a famous cutting that I have grown indoors myself many times but I had never seen it in full sunshine. It already towered over Jills head and the stem was already so think she almost couldn’t close her fist around it. We also tried our hand at Cow Catching that day and when we spotted a few of the neighbors cows over near the fence Dave made up a line with a fat fan leave on it and went to casting. I howled in laughter as the cow actually came over and sniffed the leaf. You will see cows munching down on leaf in the harvest chapter.
