No problem. I can't wait till these HSH and all my other small seedlings get well extablished. Seedlings need too much attention and care lol. Especially in ths heat. I'm still hoping I get 1 female and 1 male HSH so I can have some of those beans laying around. I'm glad foliar feeding is working out for you.

I feel ya.. I ended up popping some more beans.. the rest of my HSH gear and more Strawberry Blue. They're stretching like crazy because I'd already put my lighting away for the year and just have them in a southern facing window sill for now. I've never put anything out this late before.. I'm hoping that they produce at least a QP or better.
I saw on the news that you guys are having the worst draught in a hundred years or something like that.. while we're having the shittiest rainy weather ever. We'll have 2-3 days of decent weather (not ideal by any means) followed by a week to a week and a half of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds. I hope that shit stops and dries up by August-October.

Yeah. It has been dry as fuck this year. Perfect breeding conditions for bastard insects lol. I had root aphids but got rid of thos fuckers and the ants thay farmed them. I wish you could give us some rain lol. Would be nice not to have to water my veggies every day. I'm gonna throw a few in the ground in hopes that I can get a good amount out of them since they are only about 4 weeks from seedright now. I have heard of ppl getting a p per plant starting seeds june 1st.

Ooooh I wish I could send some rain your way too. I wish the weather was like last seasons.. it was damn near perfect.
I just popped my beans about 5 days ago. I think I may go ahead and transplant in a few days and just keep them covered for a few days so these upcoming storms don't tear them to pieces.. at least then I won't have to harden them off.
How many plants are you flowering now? I threw out some auto's this season but I must really suck at growing them. I only have 3 or so that are a decent size. I must have really stunted them somewhere along the lines. I was hoping to get around 4 zips from each of them but I think that's all i'll get total. I don't think I'll ever run auto's again unless they're indoors in an environment that I can actually control.
The only pests that I've had so far are slugs for the most part. I've had a few leaves that got munched on but nothing major thus far.. and deer. The deer haven't eaten anything, just stomped the shit out of two of the ladies but that's not too bad I guess.

I have 22 flowering I think. I hope they are male/female seeds I dont want female/herm seeds. It would be a bitch to cull out all the herms. Plus I could cull out all males to make more room forladies to stretch out a bit. When I pulled off the tarp I accidentally spercropped one yesterday lol. I think it liked it thogh

I can't wait to buy a new piece of property this fall so I don't have to worry about nosey ass neighbors and be able to finally grow in peace again. I've seen a lot of different things on RIU that I'd like to try but can't while growing guerilla style. I'd definitely like to try the light dep at some point. I only have about 10-12 regular plants and the rest are all feminized.. I've been stressing about hermies but from what I've read, Mandala's Seeds puts all of their strains through some rigorous stress tests. I guess I'll be finding out soon enough.

I do this journal mainly for my documentatkon. I tend to forget shit if it is not documented. It always nice to be able to go back and reference my old pics/posts when im unsure on when I s Started some seedlings or when I topped. Stuff like that. I was digging through my 2012 grow thread for reference this year too. I miss those bushes lol.

@getawaymountain must be nice bro haha. I'm culling all the males from your strains now. Your strains sex out fast. I like it. Now I can do some training on the ladies and get some in the ground for some poundage. I'm gonna do a winter bean crop to keep your genetics around too. I was thinking of crossing the seawarp and bahia blackhead. Good idea or nah?
