Well, after doing very minimal work out here for most of the year, everything was looking good. The plants last year did suffer from growing pains in our learning of Korean Natural Farming and its recommended inputs and treatments, sometimes the plants loved it sometimes not. This year being more educated in KNF and using the inputs from KNF less often, this garden we had out here was really happy! The neighbors trees were even looking spectacular. Then came the rains, the weird fog and dust for over two weeks. The dust is still lingering but so is the damage from the acids rains and weird fog/mist.
The madness that ensued really discouraged me and I just started making video game content as our lovely garden went downhill fast. All the leaves on all the plants were left looking burned and yellowing too.
Our Cannabis plants did not like the lack of sun or the acid rains. We saw major leaf damage and worm attacks. Thankfully, they rebounded much to my surprise as they were not looking good. After two treatments of Safer(insecticidal soap) and Captain Jacks dead bug and not to mention cutting off a lot of tops the worms subsided. I do not plan on anymore treatments of anything so I cut away all the damaged parts and cleared out the lower branches to help the plants with any further bug attacks.
We do NOT use liquid bottle fertilizers with a npk value. We do use a product from a bottle called Ful-Power (it is an organic fulvic/humic acid product, it was and probably still is the only certified Fulvic acid product approved for use for foliar treatments in an organic program in USA) and Boogie Brix
a kelp, humic acid and sugar product. Used 3 times in a 2 month period. We are strapped for cash and using what we had from last year.
Our greenhouse is in pieces, again no money. There is a Mulberry tree right next to these plants that is more illegal than these cannabis plants can be, as they are invasive and take water away from the native plants. We expect the pollen to happen soon so replacing the greenhouse cover sooner than later, hopefully happens before the Mulberry pollen starts to emerge.
I ended up feeding these worms and rollie pollies all the plant debris which yeah duh they love! Also have been throwing bananas and various fruit that we don't consume in the soil for these cannabis plants. Of course, these beneficial bugs consume the food scrapes really quick.
Now these Cannabis plants came from a friend who was doing a light depth operation. That is when you have better control of the light cycle by giving the plants more light or less in order to control when the plants flower. However, disrupting the plants light cycle will cause 1-3 ‘fingered’ leaves to happen. This did happen to these girls but they are now shooting off 5 fingered leaves again!
I will try and be better about posting more frequently and keep you all better informed on our garden as opposed to video game content!
