First time growing. Live in Oregon and got two clone Girl Scout Cookies during the first week of July.
Put them in about 5 gal containers. One was plastic and they other that molded paper. A piece of reflective packing had come with something and I put it behind them whenever the wind wasn't too bad. They took off real well.
I have Alpacas during the summer and pile their droppings in a pile. The little worms get in their and eat it and make worm castings. I mixed some of this with a little boughten potting mix. Living in the country we are on well water.
Next picture was taken 9/28.
A friend told me via phone to remove leaves to let the sun in. I went overboard and cut off almost all the fan leaves.
Next two pictures from 10/06
I made compost tea from the worm castings. Just put a couple inches in the bottom of a bucket. Sometimes would add a little molasses or a little epsom salt. Then make the hose shoot a strong stream to mix it up. Let sit a day or two. When tea was about used up, would just repeat since some castings still would be in bottom..Onc in awhile I would give a little miracle grow. Once it went to flower I also gave them some golden tree...
Today I noticed one cola on each plant was starting to turn brownish so I cut them.
Not 100% sure this was today but think so..
So...now hanging in dark garage with fan lightly blowing.
