murphyblue Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Thanks for that @OldFord you set my mind at rest. Was a bit unsure about it but if its good enough for u then i'll do a trail run of it this year on the bed. Plants seem to like it noticed everything greening up a bit. The FLC is due a trim in a week or 2 nothing too drastic but getting rid of a few bits of smaller stuff will only thicken up some other branches. I have a plan worked out in me head nobody wants to go in there so will take pics and try to explain when i do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyblue Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Just a quick visit today to give the bed a feed of that "flower power" and i must say its impressive stuff. It's got everything nice and grren and growing even the early subbies i put out and they just stalled didn't see any movement since i put em out. Think i might start using it on the FLC. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphyblue Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 @Madmacca she is indeed a bit of a beast. I grew the FLC last season they were the testers and although i totally messed em up there was something about them that said big girls if done right. But if i am honest i didn't think she would be this big so early. I do have a plan for trimming and training her and hopefully i won't need to supercrop. @OldFord think its down to that flower power everything has really picked up since using it including the Durban. Think this weekends planned visit is a no go as its finally raining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFord Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Rain is indeed a magical elixir sir flower power and skills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyblue Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Well the rain cleared up and was bored so spent the afternoon at plot and still came home dripping wet from the heat. I mainly readjusted all the branches on the FLC and happy to see the branches now have their own branches. Some as long as 12" so hopefully can train them into main tops as well. Nearly all the stakes are now at the edge of the pot so i might chuck the metal grid over her and extend her out further. I still think its a good idea a grid will give her good support and help with keeping all the tops at the same level. Anyways pics innint.

murphyblue Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thanks for the compliments guys. I won't lie it has been hard work for an old fart like me. Still loads to do could do with booking a day off to get things sorted less people about midweek. I need to refill all my water stash cut back some of the surrounding undergrowth try and construct some sort of support to continue training the FLC oh and bend most of the girls. My way of thinking is u get more from a plant by bending them rather than leave them just grow crimbo tree style and anyways i hate bloody crimbo. I will try and do a step by step guide the way i bend them most of u will already know but i see a lot of people still growing christmas trees and i feel its my mission too abolish christmas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphyblue Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 No work today dodgy stomach so went to the plot. All looking ok and had rain last couple of days so that has saved me a bit as both water sources now dried up so will have to start lugging water. Gave the FLC a drop of the flower power feed as well as everything else. I meant to take a tape with me to measure her but forgot it going by eye she is about 5ft x 6ft and even if she started flowering now would be well happy. Pics. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
