Southern Oregon outdoor 2022

And a few in the cold frame I have as back up plants / fun little experiments. these are still in coco and have been defoliated, left in the cold, dunked and sprayed heavily on cloudy days. Overall treated these terribly intentionally.

The temps finally got above 48 degrees F low's, got everything planted a few days ago, will snap some pictures soon & update in that regard in the next few days. transplanted close to dark and watered them in. I have a small list of my next tasks, some more time sensitive others more throughout the summer.

-gotta get my mini reservoir set up, just cleaned my trash can & have my sump pump + hose & wand/shower cap

-gotta get my bamboo training trellis up & plants trained a little. I have Simple 3'X3' bamboo trellis 6"squares + 4' & 6' stakes; will probably use 4' vertical for now)

- hopefully top some plants more & clean up some of the bottoms depending how much they have grown

- Grab a Fogger Spray nozzle and hit them with Plant therapy one of these nights, not super necessary yet can still use my little sprayer

- grab some ladybugs to release as well, my local store sells em so cheap its foolish not to release em

- I plan on taking some rounds of clones into late july off these and sticking them in my cloner

- Order 2 heat sinks from HLG - I have 2 260w + drivers that need heat sinks (gave the heat sinks to a friend when i moved to mainland from hawaii)

My regular routine will be roughly; Water with liquid Nutrients as regularly as weather will allow, Preventative IPM plant therapy sprays, occasional foliar spray, occasional compost tea, handful of soil amending times in Veg + Flower, regular bamboo trellis training. more or less that covers it.

Couple updates from last few days. Got my bamboo small temporary trellis up for now on each plant. Trash can res + pump is set, watered everything with just water and liquid calcium from down to earth, it’s gonna be 100 tomorrow and Sunday so I figured better safe then sorry.
also I snapped some photos and got some light training done on a few plants.

I am probably gonna get my main veg nutrients in the next few days before my next watering, I have decided that I am going to run Vital Garden Supply's nutrient line; Vital Fish Powder (veg), Vital Kelp, Vital baseline liquid humus, & Vital Cal mag for veg.
and for flower it will be similar; same stuff but sub out veg for Vital Bloom.

its an organic line so i don't have to PH adjust if i don't want to as it will naturally buffer, will follow up in a few days with an update on plants.

Been watering with vital.
Been a little busy but the plants are finally starting to get some growth.
Will follow up tomorrow afternoon with more of a n update




Jelly rancher


Apple fritter

Little update as I haven’t been able to get to the plants as much as I would like lately.

weather is calling for 100+ tomorrow, probably gonna check on em tomorrow late evening when it cools down a bit and hit em Tuesday with some more water while the weather is on the up.

I gotta top some of em so I grabbed some rockwool and rooting gel. Might as well take a few clones for fun while I’m at it.

Where I live nights are going to 50F and daytime highs around 70-80f. 100 plus ? Nasty.

It used to be people went south for a vacation to get warm. Very soon people will be going to where it is cooler for a vacation.

That sounds like a lovely place to live ! I wish we didn’t get this kind of sporadic heat up in the PNW but can’t avoid it

Watered today and cut a few tops/clones on the vanillas and the jelly rancher and put em in rockwool cubes and some azos and rooting hormone. See what happens, I’ll be happy f I get one of each to root

jelly

I am terrible at cloning without an Ez cloner and I know it, so I’m trying some rockwool vibes for fun. I got some jelly and vanilla for now

Got em watered and sprayed with plant therapy today. I went up on the nutrients a little to try and push them the last few weeks of veg. Moved the trellis’s up. Did a round of topping on everything as well as some bending under the trellis to help spread em out more. I cleaned up some of the inside bottoms in a few but next time I’m there I will take some more time and clean em up a bunch and post pictures. I think I’m gonna have to set up my next set of bamboo trellis that’s more heavy duty this week and a little taller and thicker !

I really like your grow. I wish I would have been more deliberate with my training when my plants were younger. Can't wait to see yours take over there trellis. Happy growing!

That is very kind of you i promise there are a lot more experienced and efficient growers in here then me. A lot to learn on these forums hope you are having fun !

Watered with a tea when the temps dropped a bit this evening. Sprayed with some plant therapy. Topped a few more of what I could see before the sun went down and snapped some pics while I still could l.

Few more pics

I’m gonna try and clean up the insides of these plants later today, probably try and finish topping whatever I missed over the last week or so. I would like to do one more round of topping before they switch into flower, ill

Also I am going to blast them with xtreme gardening versity as a Foliar to switch off the plant therapy for a day as it’s recommended once every other week so figured mix it bro the Foliar rotation.

if the soil happens to be dry today I will water up up the nutrients to full strength recommended by vital feed chart. Would put feeding at;
30mlgal veg X 50 gal= 1,500ml
30ml gal cal mag X 50 = 1,500ml
15ml gal liquid hummus X 50 750ml

Also I haven’t posted about my fun in the sun 1 gallons in a while.

Got the bottoms cleaned up today like I have been meaning to before it got to hot here.
fed them full strength + some kelp to help em through the heat this week. Finished this round of topping on em finally, and bent some stuff out and over in the trellis today. Snapped some photos as well. Hopefully I can get them up to the top of these bamboo stakes before flower and I’ll feel pretty good. Lookin forward to swapping out the trellis for the taller bamboo poles I got for their final stretch!
