Mohican's 2015 Season

Mohican said:

Many of the experts say we should get rid of summer break all together.

I am back home.

List of good news:

• One offer and three more interviews this week! Things are looking up!
• Two of the Rebar clones have roots after only three days! It is a very hardy plant!
• The organic soil gardening book I edited is nominated for an award!

Cheers,
Mo

Looks like things are looking up for you Mo. Good luck on the job hunt and congrats on the nomination. Go clones! GT

I remember when they started year round in CO. It was awesome because you could ski on winter vacation that was different than the tourists. No crowds on the slopes!

good luck with the jobs. ur garden looks lush, nice work. Remember Quick Fix PLUS for the piss test . Warm it up at home, put the heat pack around it with the rubber band. Make sure you get the Plus one cuz it contains Urea they might test for. And dump the Entire contents in no matter if it passes their line. Your neighbors tree with the big purple flowers is OUT OF SITE man!
I love it. your neighbor totally Rocks.!

She is 93 and a real spitfire! She was the reference librarian at Berkeley back in the hippie days.

The tree is a Jacaranda. They are beautiful but messy. We have some streets here that in the spring look like they are covered with purple snow!

Cheers,
Mo

that's cool !

Is that Casper DAT? He is friendly!

A Rebar clone and an Animal Cookies clone already have small roots!




Clones:

Mo

curious to see how the animal cookies are Mo we hear so much hype over the pond but an original cut is seldom seen or the breeder does a dodgy fem and we get a herm version. happens all the time it sucks.

I'm thinking of making myself one of those cloners. the pump and works are the easiest to source, the tub is the hardest bit lol.

What about a big stainless steel cooking pot? I bet you could find something cheap at a garage sale or restaurant supply store.

I found some pretty ideal stuff a carp bait bucket actually but when I priced up it was only £10 cheaper lol. It only really makes a great saving I your doing say. 100 site cloner. Think I'll make a smaller version with like 8- 10 sites.

You ever gather some up for the compost pile or worm bin?

Not yet. I did add the camellia flowers to the compost this year and the worms seemed to love it!

Great Picture...she looks so happy

Thanks! I crossed her with the Black Sour Bubble. He ended up sprouting female flowers at the end so I am not sure what to do with the seeds.

I call that cross Goodyear Blimp (GYB):

A few shots from the garden.

Jail Bird reveg:

looking good mohican! as always

out of curiosity, I have noticed you do so many different plant sizes. What determines which size you allocate to each plant?

oh yea and @Dr.Amber Trichome love the new avatar

I let them decide mostly. When I use smart pots it seems to control the plant size depending on the pot size. I really like the #7 pots because the plants are more manageable and portable. I had to let the Jail Bird dry out well before I could attempt to lift her. She is in a #20 pot.

I like the #20 pots because I can give them more soil to work with but they are heavy to move.

I usually try to put only a few select plants in the ground. However this year I had a couple keepers that I decided to put in the ground in addition to the mystery seedlings. I also had way too many clones of great stuff and just didn't get to look after them with the level of attention I would have liked. This resulted in the Cherry Pie being small along with the GTH and Fireball. Animal Cookies and Rebar revegged and also caused some problems.

Akki, the mystery seedlings and the Purple Haze are the only plants that seem to be happy with their current situation. I am not crossing any of the plants this time. However, they may have received a bit of Paki pollen early before they revegged.

Hopefully this crop is all fire and I can have some unseeded flowers to enjoy.

I need to spray BT to keep the budworms at bay.

The squash is either a spaghetti squash or it might be a watermelon!

I am still working on removing the seeds from the GTH x Paki. It is so frosty and the plant is still not crumbly dry after two weeks!

looking mighty fine Mo
