Lol - I was lucky in that nothing broke - it was just uprooted (root system was quite impressive - must have been one hell of a wind to knock it out of the ground). And yes, it looks like a tree trunk. In fact, it’s bigger than both the viburnum lollipops I planted in the spring.

They really should come up with a sarcastic font. It’s easy to misinterpret posts if you’ve never met the person and aren’t familiar with their beliefs or sense of humour. There’s always more than one way to say something. I tend to pick the wrong way 80% of the time so so apologize for anything...

I have never seen bagged strawberry milk - we can buy it in cartons, or as Quik mix.

this is a bud from higher up on the plant. I’d say it’s a good 9’ tall. Had to pull out a step ladder to get that pic! The neighbours are probably asking themselves what the crazy woman next door is doing now! Would you still say I’m that far from harvest? I might not beat the first frost.

This is a bud on the plant that i tried to kill with baking soda This is a bud on the plant that is turning purple I should also mention that the roots keep popping up to the surface (both plants). I figured it was just the strain. Could they be trying to tell me something (like go back to...

Lord love a duck. Yes, only composted manure (unless you count whatever was in the solo cup they were in when I got them)!! Think adding vermiculite might help in any way? Our rainy season is just starting. Minimum 2-3 days of rain per week.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Root rot is a concern because of the rain we’ve been having. Add the fact that the roots were fully exposed and endured a fantastic rain storm for a good 10 hours. I then hammered supports into the ground, probably damaging the roots even more. Not sure how much...

The plants are both Platinum Kush Breath. I’m growing in composted manure. I use Botonicare KIND and measure according to the label. It’s a three part system: Base 4-0-0 Grow 2-2-4 Bloom 0-6-6 My last feed was number 5 of flowering. Using a 5 gallon bucket of tap water, (I know, I know..) I...

Plants are in composted manure. I feed them every 5 days or so depending on how much rain we’ve had (I don’t want to be dealing with root rot)! I don’t think it’s a nutrient deficiency but who knows how much damage was done when the roots were left exposed overnight. Ugh. I thought gardening was...

The leaves aren’t as vibrant as they were before the fall. A lot were damaged and were removed. I skipped a couple feedings because it was so stressed. Now that I’m feeding again, the upper leaves are turning purple and although the plant itself is slowly perking up, it still looks sickly. We’ve...

So I’m thinking your advising to leave well enough alone. The plant turning purple is nothing to stress about. As for my baking soda error - the damage is done and it will (hopefully) recover. Seems the more I fuss, the worse I make things. I will carry on as I was before the weather started...

Wow those are impressive! Mine are just limping along…mind you I’m only on step four of “how to kill a plant.” I keep waiting for them to bulk up but can’t say I’m very hopeful. Again, thanks for the milk suggestion. I’ll give it a whirl next time I encounter the problem (three consecutive rain...

I considered the milk spray. Looked in the fridge and noticed I was down to my last bag of milk. I looked in the cupboard and saw that I had lots of baking soda. Cereal and coffee for breakfast won the milk battle. I should have just gone to Timmie’s for breakfast. Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.

I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m in Southern Ontario and have two plants in the ground. (Platinum Kush Breath). On August 26 one of them blew over in a storm while we were out - no broken limbs, but majority of the roots were exposed. I didn’t notice until the morning. Got it upright and...
