Boboro's 2013 grow log.

[Boboro]

I let a sucker grow on the bottemof my plant to get a head start on the 2nd grow.

 

[BarG]

I'm letting a sucker crop grow here too! Last year I didn't.

 

[Boboro]

If you got the time and space, why not. I,m gona make the space. Wish I could make time.

 

[BarG]

I will stalk cure them all from an empty hanging rack. I have 2 tiers worth of bursa put up and working on my early stalks now, about 19 -20 lbs. so far between bursa, ottoman and samsun. I will be lucky to make a whole lb. from the samsun but it sure is tasty.

 

[Chicken]

my sucker crop from last year did good,

 

[Boboro]

Storms today got some blowdowns.

 

[Boboro]

I was gonna kick back smoke the hookha pipe and do a little research, but instead I have to go in the wet as patch and steak up plants. I love this hobby!

 

[chillardbee]

Keep up the good fight...You'll win a good crop.

 

[workhorse_01]

Keep it up Bobro! Man you'll be set for the whole year. That crop you have is exellent. Now to finish as hard as you started, and keep taking pics of that barn full.

 

[Chicken]

you should have done some '' before storm prepping ''

but im one to talk,,, i got a shitload of stakes, but noticed today, some plants that coud use some support.

 

[Boboro]

Got most of em back up right.I started havein trouble walkin so I quit

 

[DGBAMA]

Had to stake 40 something of mine Sunday toppled by too much rain. I feel for ya.

 

[Boboro]

Growin stuff ant for everybody.sometimes I get piss off but tomorrow Ill get out thir agin. Its what I do to keep from watchen tv.

 

[deluxestogie]

My approach to staking is to wait for blowdowns. Over a number of years, I've had only 2 plants snap off, so they couldn't be propped back up, and those were mature enough to just go ahead and hang in the shed.

The most plants that I've ever had to stake is less than 20. Compared to 240+ stakes that it would require to stake them all in advance, it's a no-brainer for me.

[DGBAMA]

Thanks Bob. Now I don't feel so bad about not being proactive with mine.

 

[workhorse_01]

I react also. I try to lift them while the ground is still soggy. Then mound more dirt around the bottom.

 

[marksctm]

Thanks Bob. Now I don't feel so bad about not being proactive with mine.

I wait until a blow over too.

Lot of the time you can hold the plant straight, then push down in the dirt with your foot, at the base of the stalk on the side it fell, and push in the opposite direction it blew, pushing more in the dirt, than the stalk, and that's enough.

 

[Boboro]

I tie some up before they blow down. In the places with no wind block. If they ant flat on the ground I just letem grow crucked. The down side is thet take more room in the shed.

 

[Chicken]

i guess im lucky to have 40' cedar trees, around this property for a good wind-block,

 

[Boboro]

I finished steakin up the plants right before The Deluge. 2 1/2" in 2 hours. I got a lot more plants down. I sure hope they pick thir self up.
