Roast Me

[Jdvon89]

First attempt at many things this year : first greenhouse grow, first organic grow, first legal grow, but more impplortantly here, first attempt at LST. Tell me what yall think! Am i on the right track?

Cool padlocks.
What's the suspended pipe for?
I see a clover cover, and is that hay?

 

[Jdvon89]

Its an alfalfa mix thats been sitting in the barn for a couple years. The pipe is too shade a thermometer. I know its not perfect, but if i leave it in the sun it reads 115+ all day

They look healthy to me. I'd say keep doing what you're doing until something goes wrong.

I'm not sure about alfalfa for a cover, but it's probably better than hay. I use alfalfa meal as an organic soil amendment. Yours will break down much more slowly, but that's probably what you are poking for in a mulch. The pipe protector is a fine idea, just bulky. Keep up the good work.

That's an awesome not till raised bed! Nice work so far. I used rabbit food hay for mulch. Lol anything to keep the moisture in on hot days. After this grow, throw down some compost over the cover crop and mulch and start it all again next year! Keep this thread updated, I'll follow along. I grow LST indoor, and your on the right track.

Have you topped yet? That will kick off the side branch growth. Then just keep weaving them through your cages.

The only thing: Tomatoe cage is useless.

Nice job. Awesome setup, and they look really healthy. Keep it up.

I had them laying around, and they have been very handy for tying to for LST. I will probably end up adding more trellace eventually too.

I havent topped at all. Kinda shying away from that... Ive just been bending and tying.

That's cool. Just tying the main top down will readjust the hormones in the plant to focus on the side growth.

 

[Jdvon89]

Update as of today still no topping. Weekly applications of AACT, SST, Humic acid. G.H. temps hit 28f on Jun 21. It's been a crazy year in the SW

 

[Jdvon89]

Update. All showing small female pre flowers

 

[Jdvon89]

Explosive growth the last couple weeks. There's something in this rainwater from the afternoon monsoon showers that these girls love. All showing signs of starting to flower, one is lightyears ahead of the rest.

 

[Diabolical666]

Lol @ roast me.
Yeah take a nice sip of that rainwater yourself. Makes ya perky
Good luck on the grow!

 

[Jdvon89]

Been a while. Definitely will only do 3 or 4 next year... Getting a little crowded
