Looks like Holy Smoke has the real malawi...
Did you top the bushes or did they grow like that naturally?
I bet they would've been 20+ ft. untopped

LST in the can and au natural in the ground. The colas started to break the branches off of the main trunk so I had to put up trellis netting to hold everything in place.

Hi DAT,
Great pictures!
Looks like there was something in there trying to grow. It wasn't all black and mushy.
I hope the new seed does better!
Keep us updated!
How are you feeling today?
Cheers,
Mo

I have been working that clay soil for a few years supplementing it with organic soil. Then before I started I mixed in a bunch of bone and blood meal and put down a dusting of Sevin powder to kill off any earwigs or other soil bugs. Watered with the hose mostly and supplemented with FloraNovaBloom in a 5 gallon bucket of pH 6.7 hose water that had sat out for a day. Sprayed with neem and BT for bugs monthly (probably could have done it more like every two weeks).

The plant was a seed I started indoors on Feb 4th and sprouted on Feb 10th. I proceeded to snap the seedling's stem and miraculously got it to regrow. Topped the indoor plant on April 15th and grew the big top in a cloner dome until April 30th. Then I started putting the clone outside for a little bit each day and on May 1st I planted the "Big Clone" in a 30 gallon trash can full of organic veggie soil. I also took a tiny clipping and grew it in a shot glass on a window sill until it had a bunch or roots. I planted this "Micro Clone" on May 5th in the ground and it grew to be the biggest plant.

They are 100% Sativa so I think they could have been even bigger under better conditions.

Cheers,
Mo

Are earwigs damaging?
Also what is BT?

I am guessing a really deep and wide hole was used for them?
Only Outdoor I have done was in a shed in pots.
Never had full sun nor the earth to grow in,
The soil(clay) was 22" deep then I hit cement for some reason so I didnt go that route.
Only direct sun for 5 hrs or less a day
Not sure what I can do here, but I hope to do something better than the past

This is Bacillus Thuringiensis, known as BT,(bacillus thuringencis) a bacteria that kills worms and caterpillars.
CONTAINS: Bacillus Thuringiensis
USE ON: Vegetable crops: Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Collards, Cucumber, Kale, Lettuce, Greens, Tomatoes,and Turnips. Tobacco and Melons, too.
RATE: 16 to 60 pounds per acre
APPLICATION: For home garden use, dust plants thoroughly. Can be used up until the day of harvest.

Do you add water and spray it on like the neem?

Wicked nice post here Mohican, this one I had I to journal. Love how the study was conducted by Canada Agriculture in Ottawa as well :). Don`t know where you find this stuff Mo`, but I love it.

Planted 3 - 5-species apple grafts, 2 - 5 species pear grafts, and 2 - 5 species cherry grafts amoungst a nice strawberry patch at the farm this weekend, had you in mind with that Sangria you have ;). Keep keeping it real Mo

@bassman - I put a search in Google for "canabis botany" images hoping to find some cool seed pictures. That is when I saw the old black and white picture of the seed. I clicked on it and it took me to that study. I am glad somebody enjoyed it :)

I mix BT at 2 tablespoons per gallon of water and spray at night - the sun kills the bacteria. After two applications the first two months of growth I had no bud worms. The year before I had a small plant and it had over 200 bud worms when I trimmed it.

The only problem was that I thought they were gone for good. But I got more bud worms and the plant was too dense to penetrate completely with the spray so I did get like 20 on the giant plant.

Also a tip I was given was to spray the BT on all of the plants and the soil in the whole yard. The Sevin first and then Neem and BT on a regular basis and you are good to go!



@KC - Do you have a farm? That selection sounds amazing! Where did you get them?

@Mo - I wish I had a farm my friend, started working on a family friends farm a couple hours out of town. He`s got 110 acres, 2 - 40 acre fields as well as a half dozen berry, fruit spaces (after some of my influence :)). He`s charged me with constructing his greenhouse this year, wants to start one. Since I head back to school next year for Horticulture and Greenhouse Science, he thought it was fitting, so I have my summer cut out for me, haha. The nursery is one around the farm, all those grafts are imported and cost $60 normally but we got em for $30 each :D
