Hi everyone, it's HARVEST SEASON in the great outdoors up here in the northern Hemi. Rather than bore you with months of growth, I figured I'd cut to the chase and get to the fun parts.
I have a family of Frisian Ducks growing. For ease, I'll name them:
Darkwing Duck (In the ground, Seed)
Momma Duck (15 Gallon, Clone)
Sally (5 Gallon with more branches,Clone)
Mary (5 Gallon with fewer branches,Clone)
Dot (1 Gallon,Clone)
For Darkwing, I dug a 4x4x3 hole and amended the native soil per soil test recommendations.
The nutrient in my native soil wasn't enough to support healthy growth, and the soil was heavily compacted from years of being a lawn with kids and dogs. My soil pH wasn't good either, at 5.9.
I added a 5-10-10 and triple superphosphate for the fertilizer, as well as some Dolomitic lime to help with pH and add some additional Calcium and Magnesium, both of which were also deficient.
I broke the heavy clay native soil up with with a bunch of leaf mould(which itself was amended with some N guano) and let it sit for a month before planting. She was 2 weeks old at transplant.
She received a few toppings and a lot of bending and weighing down. Being on the North side of the house, she only got a max of 12 hours of direct sun in the middle of summer, and currently only gets about 5.
Here's Darkwing now!
And here's a few closeups.
This Bug is hugging the leaf of this bud like he owns it.
Bud Orgy!
I think this looks like the hilt of a sword. Stuck in a rock hard nug? Who's the king?
Sleepy bud.
Dragon Claw?
Well, Darkwing is just about ready to harvest, and since we've got a heavy rain on the way tonight, she's coming down this afternoon. The biggest buds. The rest will ride it out till perfection or first frost.
