That would be tasty, and efficient! Although I think you have a better climate for most edible fungi. The dream is to eventually have a garden that grows all my medicine and most of my food. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
Tuesday 6.19 That new shroom is bigger than the last by a good margin. It's been 3 days Day 2 Today - 4 days old Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
Wednesday 6.20 C99 is looking good. Might be the most symmetrical plant despite having just (2) mains. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
Saturday 6.23 Went to the hills above the garden. This is where I like to hang out and sometimes grab materials for mulch. It's fun to create a decomposing natural ground cover in my container garden. Here is a nice healthy grove of Arundo Donax, a giant reed and invasive species. Would make goods compost I think. Lots of silica and possible pest control. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
Sunday 6.24 The girls have been on a regular feeding routine. After I saw a bit of yellowing progressing on the P x BH and the KC, I started with a fish hydrolysate foliar then hit it with a fish soil drench with Fulvic. Next they got a topdress of my dry meals w/gypsum. Today they get TM7 ( BioAg/7 trace minerals/humic and fulvic) mixed with water and yucca. So far all yellowing and other issues have halted and the girls are growing nicely. C99 QM aka Sticks P x BH KC Guawi A hui ho family Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Saturday 6.30 Stopped by the garden to meet the farmer I've been getting composted manure from. He hand turns his horse and chicken manure - it's real good shit, and a deal at $5/40lb bag....can't say enough about the quality. Six bags of the horse/chicken combo manure He keeps some straight horse stuff I'm using for the worms. The stuff with chicken in it I'll use for the plants. Once my 45 gallon fabric pots arrive I'll be making new soil to fill the pots with. I want to preserve the full 20 gallons of soil the plants are in now and fill the rest with the new mix which will be: 2 parts manure 1 part cspm and 1part perlite with 1 cup lime p/cuft. That's it, no meals or anything. I want to rely on the nutes in the manure and my regular ferts to carry me through flower. I see no need to amend further. I will screen the manure first then measure. It gets nice and fluffy that way. Garden shot Kali China C99 Queen Mother aka sticks Guawi Panama x Bangi Haze Here's one of my African Nightcrawler buckets. I drilled 20 holes in the lids. Started 5.10 and should be done when the plants start flowering. I've used some for teas and topdressings with good results. Peace in your gardens friends Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
@sitnspin420 Haha bellyflops Its coated with wet poo. I was concerned at first seeing that. Thinking they were trying to escape for some reason. So I took them in a dark room and let the lids stay off to see if they ran. Nope. Through observation and some reading realized its normal for what I have going. They're making use of the surface area. They go up the sides of the bucket because that's where the condensation is. Maybe a worm just wants to be alone and have a drink n' shit sideways....you know?

Tuesday 7.3 Got the soil mixed up yesterday for the transfer today. Just horse/chicken manure, cspm, perlite, and lime. Never had to transfer pots this big before. I had to cut the pots.The rootballs held together, but there was a lot of roots growing out the bottom of their pots into the ground. The plants all started drooping a bit. They got better after a bit I used a thick layer of composted horse/chicken manure on top as a mulch/fertilizer. Glad to have that done. Next I'll put up the fences around the pots. Maybe after the 4th! Passing the J neighbors! Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
What the hell is cspm? I also thought worms climb because they are drowning or searching for food. my wig is loose, your stroke is weak...
Cspm = Canadian sphagnum peat moss You're right sit, they climb because of those reasons. Apparently the african species I got are known to roam and run for no apparent reason. The wigglers I can pick up no prob - these africans will flinch if you touch them and I've seen the little ones freak and wiggle so hard they go tumbling. I've also seen them mating on the side of those buckets too. If they climb in big numbers, (not just 1 or two that I see) AND the buckets stink it's in big trouble. I'm not worried because my mix is a lot drier than people who feed them scraps and wet food. Plus the bedding is mostly compost. They could eat what's in there for a while. You keep any worms sit?

Friday 6.6 Finished putting the fencing around the girls yesterday. Everybody looks good - but today we got smacked with 114F! Big jump in temperature from yesterday's 95F....can't remember when it was this hot. I wasn't around to take care of them today so I'm relying on others to watch over them. I'm a little worried for the plants, but I have to think about the worms in the fabric pot static bin outside under the tree too - crossing my fingers. Good thing I watered everything, including the worms, yesterday. Garden shot Kali China Panama x Bangi Haze C99 Queen Mother aka Sticks Guawi Got some thinning out to do in the center of the plants, and maybe gonna have to tie down some tops later, then it's pretty good to go. Plants are smelling great, stem rubs give me all kinds of new scents. Chomping at the bit to harvest something..... I'm dry as a bone, getting to the low point where I pull out old pre rolls from my old company - then re-roll them properly LOL Pity me! Have a great weekend neighbors!

Wednesday 7.11 This heat wave hasn't stopped but the temperatures have dropped to 95F for a few days. The plants had some leaf damage, especially the C99. It sits right across from the wall and the reflected light during the 114 F day fried her. The growth on all the plants has slowed. All had let a few leaves go yellow and they dropped a few. Guess they got hungry after the beating. Yesterday I fed the plants fish hydrolysate with yucca. Then today I cleared out the weak lower and inner branches and any dying growth. Queen Mother C99 Panama x Bangi Haze Kali China Guawi The Guawi is bushy and I want to open up the plant a bit. I did the same with the Kali China. Pulled the four main colas through the fencing to spread open the middle. Now I can see down into the plant from above. Shakas friends! Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
Seems to be doing well in the heat. People grow maters with those style cages lol. I figured you would appreciate a couple bud shots Panama Malawi x PCK Haze x Kali China
