Grgfinney grow blog 2013

[grgfinney]

Not really I decided I'm just going to let them go crazy,I have 1/2 of my patch harvested with another 2000 leaves to go plus suckers

 

[Knucklehead]

I haven't totally nailed down the cause of mine, but I'm guessing too much rain, because we've certainly had it. There's some links toward the end of my grow blog that might help. I'd move them, but I'm on my crazy tablet right now. I'm just going to wait and see what happens right now with mine, hope the rain stops sooner or later.

ok been busy pickin,hanging,handing and boxing baccy I am glad I built that curing area no way all of that would have fit in my garage

 

[Knucklehead]

Congratulations on the harvest. Did any of the frenching plants recover?

 

[grgfinney]

Yes haven't watered them anymore some. are putting on normal leaves again

Same here. We're not getting the daily rain we were getting and I pulled up the landscape fabric to speed the drying. Like yours, some of them are showing normal leaves. That was some crazy looking stuff. My first instinct was to start pulling them up so it wouldn't spread. I'm glad I calmed back down and waited. lol

Couple of plants that were frenching and my patch from my smoking spot in the yard sitting on old snowmobile under a pine tree watching the bats eat insects at dusk

 

[Knucklehead]

That's pretty wild. The plants above the frenching part almost look grafted on. I hope mine recover that good.

Looking good brother, happy growing!

Just one or two more pickings to do suckers are growing very well , already have 20lbs in the kiln which is working out well, plan on picking what ever is decent sized and filling up curing area one more time around sept 15th

 

[grgfinney]

If there is anyone in metro detroit area that would like to come out and get some free leaf (pick yourself mostly suckers)pm me your # you should end up with about 10 lbs cured

That's a few sucker leaves

 

[janetta007]

That is very generous of you grgfinney, I would jump on that if I lived in your state. That's a lot of leaf.

 

[grgfinney]

Yeah I had 240 plants the ones that didnt sucker I pulled and threw in the fire pit

 

[DGBAMA]

Bet that fire had a distinct aroma.

 

[grgfinney]

I have a question,when to soil test I bought one of those kits from lowes 10 tests .should I test the soil after I till for the fall or in the spring or both?

 

[chillardbee]

I would think once after tilling in the fall so you have a heads up for what your going to need to do for balancing the ph. And test it one more time 6 weeks before planting. The reason I say 6 weeks is that if the soil is acidic, added lime takes time to work.

Holy suckers batman,filled up hanging area again,countdown for kiln , done picking for the day time to watch the 24 race his way into the chase
