🎢 Guess the Harvest Contest

When does the guessing close? I was on vacation and was kicking myself not knowing when the guessing ends. Hope I didn’t miss it!!!

October/November

I will bid $1 bob

Getting some solid growth there now

Just gave her the last fertilizer until flowering. Then the fun begins, will be feeding her nothing but banana tea.

Why banana tea?

Its absolutely packed with potassium and can be made for almost nothing at home.

It is getting full! Thank you for making us part of the process!

Damn. How are you gonna cope with those temps? Every time it’s gone above 90 for me its destroyed my outdoor plants.

Are you expecting any problems?

Great question @SJ1 . It has taken many years to figure it out and a lot of burnt plants. I have learned to watch the sun and know your surroundings. I try to plant by a tree where when the sun is the hottest part of the day is in the shade. If I plant in full sun, then my plants become stunted from the heat.
Some people use a shade cloth over the top of the plants for this reason. So when I hear plant in full sun I say, not were I live .

Potassium and sugar. I also use apple’s for sugar. I blend up the apple’s add to a five gallons of water. Let set for 24 hours then water. This is for the last two weeks of flower. Imo molasses is overrated. The molecules in molasses are to big for the plants to uptake right away, they still need to be broken down. The sugar in apple’s will be absorbed faster. And the worm’s love it. Damn I should write a book

Ok nice. If I grow outside again here I would have to build something to protect them - they just can’t handle full sun in the Spanish summer. Explains why the local nurseries here all grow under shade cloth.

A spot that became shaded between say 2-5pm then allowed direct sun would be perfect but I don’t have a spot that works. So if I do it again think I will go the shade cloth route.

Cheers and happy growing

You use banana peels?

You should I buy it

Just the peels

Can i just mention tho when we use molases here, we do prep like this…

4 ltrs Rain water Just to boil.
Add 1/4 cup molases
1/4 cup Epsom slats
6 bannana peals
4 rable spoons cinnamon

blend well, let sit cover/vented out in the sun for 3 days.
sift and use weekly from preflower 2 weeks before harvest. Booster bloom

hope this helps. those combined ingredients makes a great P K solution and breaks down the molases very well.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Now, I can be incorrect here… BUT, In all my learning so far, adding Sugar (Molasses or other kinds) to the soil is to feed the microbes, so they can break them down and provide the humic and folvic acids or carbohydrates or keylators (can’t recal exactly) to the cannabis plant so that the Plant can Make Sugars. Dr. Harley Smith explains it a bit better in this video during the Brix section, and at 59:00 he says: “The Molasses won’t go into the plant, it will feed the microbes, and the microbes will tell the plant to make more sugar.” 56:06 / 1:00:39 • Brix Gardening Hacks Backed By Science! (Garden Talk #92). P.S. This is one of the most valuable Youtube Videos I have seen. The knowledge is Amazing!

Dr. Harley Smith also explains why he uses cane molasses in this video, in the RAW Cane Molasses section, he speaks about how it increases the uptake of Iron: NPK-University Complete Plant Nutrition With Harley Smith

P.S.S. I am Not trying to convince anyone to do anything differently, just wanted to share knowledge

Well balls, @Rasta_Free-Man You’re right, I did say breakdown I think . Thanks for the video
