looking really good

They are untouched

No pesticides at all, just a constant regime or good quality organic fertilisers and soil conditioners.

I did get a little caterpillar infestation early on, I squashed them all

dude i didnt know u can have 1 plant, shitty i lived only in NSW and vic (right now)

how old are these babies, they coming along

also any tips for outdoor aussie growers?

same with soil, soil conditioning etc ?

im gettin heaps keen to start

---

Got the first lot in, the kush, ww and crystal in November, hence their size
The others are younger, got those seeds planted in Janurary.
Got a 3rd lot bout to go up the hill now, those I have grown inside for 6 weeks and are a good size to put out for flowering.

Is Autumn in South Aus now so all outdoor plants are going to flower.

I used $5 potting mix from hardware store.
Ensure all pots have good drainage.
It is essential to provide a thorough and constant fertiliser regime
I use Powerfeed 1 day then Seasol the next, a break on the 3rd day then it all starts again.
I am also not shy to use more than it says on the bottle, I keep an eye on the tips of the leaf of fertiliser burn.
When in flower I also add a high potash fertiliser to the mix.

i dont understand how you have no bug infestations without any precaution sprays or anything. i plan on a green house grow in the next few years possibly.

i hope it keeps up and youre able to have a sucessful harvest

Healthy plants will repeal bug infestations.
Good immunity etc.

Also regular maintenance and checks prevent bugs.

Early on I did have issues with rats.
I had put my plants right were they walked everyday.
Each morning I fond the plants with leaves missing etc.........
I thought, thats cool, until they shredded a whole plant............
Went and bought a heap of rat poison and killed them all







The Kush is looking very nearly ready to harvest

Nice work. I hope you took down the entire plant that had mold and not just the cola.

I'm about to waist your time and tell you something you already know but I gotta do my job.

Now I had these going


Friend had at least 4 times as much one canyon over from me. He spotted mold in some colas but just trimmed off the colas without taking the entire plants that were affected. He leaves for 3 days and comes back to a sloppy mold mess. He managed to save 1/4 of a lb out of the entire batch.



Like I said I wasn't telling ya anything I'm sure you don't already know but I don't want people to loose any smoke they don't need to.
