Talkin cyclones I`ve got two words for ya Noo Sa ! I`m sure that will ring a bell with the old salty dogs like yourself .Too bad for goofy footers though as its a long ,long ride to the bay .
Well gotten busy the past couple of weeks and my nursery is starting to fill .Mostly bag seed I`ve collected myself and from friends and family ,some Sativas and more hybrid mongrels . Gonna get all Luther Burbank on em in a few weeks . Though I`ll be interested to see how they handle the deluge whe`ve have been enduring .[and its not even the "wet season yet !"] Also I am reveging 4 Thai style Sats that I grew as bonsais over the winter and a couple of Skunks that didn`t really get enough veg time in the winter .They should all end up being a lot bigger and yeild a lot better with the structure that they are now developing . I find that to revegg,I cut the buds back to the least mature nodes and feed a sea weed and nitrogen fert at low strength and sit back and watch the days get longer . As the new shoots emerge I wait till they are a little established then remove the majority of the over ripe calyxes as it seems they inhibit the new growth [ a build up of flowering hormones I suspect ] once the plant is at this stage with the old growth removed things start to flourish .As I said earlier I am hoping for some better yeilds this time round .
As well I have an Afg male in flower at the mo that I chucked some of his pollen on a Northern lights fem that is flowering at present and the last pistils of the Thai shrubs as they revegged .Seem to have suceeded in producing a couple of beans on both .They`ll go in the freezer with the rest of the motley crew I have in my collection .
But talk about bloody rain the sun has not really broken through to shine for consecutive days in months ! And I heard on the radio the other day horse racing was suspended in SA and Vic because of locust plauge .Like they say "If it don`t kill ya it only ...." Anyway I plan on gettin while the gettins good and turn some sods real soon .On high ground of course .
Thanks for sharin

Hi mate you're MMxMMMG's getting bushy isn't she? Hope you don't have anything within 4 metres of her. Looks like it should keep a few dingoes out. Not sure what benefit it will have when she's 18 feet tall and the cyclone comes thru:D Nah I'm sure she'll be fine regardless, too wide to worry about the wind.

But next thing you know - you'll be draping plastic sheeting over your plants when it rains:D

I'll show you my laughable staking later in the week.

Let me know if you want this MMWW male - I'll teleport it to you:D
 
Yep mate should keep the dingoes out....Lol.
Trouble is with big plants is that if we get rain and wind the ground softens, over they go:eek: With the Fencing the bottom branches grow out through the wire and prevent this coz they support the plant. Also if you just stake the plant you can be sure it will snap off at the top of the stake coz the plant has no flex there.
If it gets really bad Ill just cut the top out and let the bottom branches fill out, something I plan to do with most of the strains anyway, coz they are nearly all grow backs and have multiple branching......Told ya I am preparing for the worst:D

Like the little Panama Red reveging in the front???

Thanx mate....I saw some fine looking plants on my visits to our neighbours across the sea:D

K/C Brains ?? Sorry my ignorance, but I dont know who that is:o
 
Hi Kanga,

If you use a long Bamboo pole as a stake lashed to a star post driven deep next to your plant ...Then tie the plant with nylon stockings along the pole.
This works a treat.... the only prob is carrying a large ladder into your patch.

All the best BP

Hi BP......Yeah mate I did something like that last year with the MM, But I had a few problems 1 is I had trouble getting near the plant because it was so spread out, 2 it was multi branched and the third was the ground was so soft and I had to get so high I was shitting myself on top of the ladder:D......so dingo fencing it is as i have found this the best and least scariest:eek:
 
Today was a good day for a walkabout so I went off to spend time with nature and check a few girls......The first 2 shots are a revegging Nev Haze, which is at the moment my pick as it has shown excellent vigour, and the other two pics are one of the many nice spots I have lunch in:D

Nice amongst the piccabean palms mate, while everyone else is arguing online, its just you, the trees, the breeze ... the ticks, the mosquitoes, the marsh flies:D Can't wait to sample your Nevil's Haze and see what flavours your compost regime brings out in the line. Any MMs on the rise?

Piccabean palms:confused:...lol yeah mate was a perfect day to get away from the crap, like Shanti it is starting to get me down a bit. I was on a good MotoGP site long time ago and everybody was good and talked motorcycles, now it is just a slagging site and all the original guys have gone.....seen a few disappear from here of late as well, not good:mad:

March flies where good today, ticks not so, got 2 and found 4 before they got me.

Not much really happening with the MM's at the moment as most are revegging and only about 1mtr......here are some pics of that clone that I crossed to my MM and then back again to the clone, looks pretty much like the original now:D

You know, Bangalows:) Yeah the aggro types are boring. Perhaps Nev should just terminate them at leisure and not publicize it. Hey that Mullumbimby clone is wide leaved, how long do you think it will take to flower?

It should start early and maybe flower for 12-14 weeks, last year I pushed it, but it started getting a bit of mold so I pulled it out. This is really the first year I have grown it looking as the original and this is the only one I got looking like that , all the other females look a bit like my MM. I checked the males today and I have 2 that look like that so Ill get some clones and do a cross.

Had a couple of Door males do some strange shit on me, by getting female calyxes and producing 2 seeds in each one:confused: I should have taken pics and I might still, just to show Shanti if it is still lying there.....they were revegging.
 
If yall dont mind I think I will tag along and watch yall grow trees. I love the outside grows. I believe I can get away with letting one get that big over here. Come Spring I will pick a good spot.
