Welcome Back Steem Powered Cannabis Lovers!
If your just joining along for this epic experiment, I'll fill you in! This is a grow to last me the long and dark winter and some of next year until hopefully I can grow again, but who knows what will happen in life :) Here is the last update 8 days ago.
Ingredients for this years Cake!
Soil :
- 66% Cow Field Soil
- 33% Normal Potting soil
- Clay Balls instead of Perlite
- Plagron Soil Additive: 2 handfuls every 20L
Nutes:
- Bio Grow 4-3-6 (Different country's have different ratios in the shops)
- Bio Bloom 2-7-4
Pots:
- They are now in 70 liter shopping baskets, two plants in each.
I am growing them in a "BloomBox".
If your not sure what this is (a term some mates made up in Spain) its a way of flowering your plants anytime you want to. It takes some dedication as the box is covered at 7pm and opened up at 7am throughout the whole flowering process until harvest. This time im in Norway. I enjoy to grow things and I smoke a lot of cannabis and so its making sense when I can, to grow my own. Here in Norway the prices are extortionate for weed and mostly unless you know a grower, its terrible quality. Also another thing is that there is never enough to go around!
This Bloombox is 2m x 1.7m (ish) and I insulated the floor and walls with 10cm insulation just in-case the summer had freezing temps in the night like last year in May. This year ;like the rest of the world its been scorching hot, and the insulation has helped a lot to retain water. I'm so thankful for this as the stream has run dry and the rain has been not falling!
The Right Side
The Middle
I found a pumpkin in the trash of the organic food shop one day, but that was it, half moldy. I took it and cooked the good half and then planted some seeds!
Its been growing some time now and I hope to harvest one or two, even though they were started late.
I don't have much else growing this year as I plan to make a straw-bale garden on the rocky ground here most likely next year as I still have some thing to do more structural before the winter comes, and motivation is low due to heat!
There's some potatoes in buckets that were also from the recycled food, they grew roots in the cupboard so I just planted them with some left over soil. Soil doesn't go far and I live up high so that's why I want to do the straw bale garden, less weight to carry up and very productive "No Dig" gardening.
Want to see some LST??
Whilst taking snaps earlier for this post, I decided it was the last chance that I would get to bend this CBD Critical down. Its a monster, It got transferred from a 20L square pot to a 100L shopping basket and now its very well rooted in.
I took stage shots of the LST so here its is in its glory before the work, I nearly forgot to get the camera, and had done the first one on the left side..
