Thanks dopedogg , there hasn't been much sun in Perth lately but I am working on cutting back some huge palm tree branches that are taking up a bit of sun up. I just put it in plain dirt for now added some mushroom compost and some gumtree mulch which I got from my bro's tree loping company. When it gets a little bigger I'm going to make up a nice soil mix with some sheep shit and wood-chips, i'll keep you posted in the next few weeks on how its progressing keep one rolled guys!

Hey mate, Now its in the ground i would leave it dont bother digging it up an putting it in better soil when its bigger, Im no cannabis expert but in my opinion the more u mess around with the plant and stress the plant u can stuff things up by being to over caring. just kick back relax water an feed her make sure shes gettiing plenty of sun, your doing well so stressless an enjoy.

Hey guys ! I got rid of the palm tree branches that were getting in the way by using a pool cleaning pole with a convenient saw attachment now shes getting full sunlight. I think this plant is like a slow starter but once it gets going it should turn into a monster there also havsen't been much sun where i am, i'll keep you guys posted. cheers (The first picture is before i chopped the palm branches down)

G'day NSTC.

 

Don't move it, period. If it is left alone it will now grow like a bastard. Upward and onward. Just give it a feed of blood and bone, some garden lime and get a can of Go-Go Juice from Bunnings. This is a plant pro-biotic and is canned magic, every plant loves it. I use it on everything from ferns to cactii to orchids to vegies to dope. You should get change out of $15 for a litre and it goes a long way. Just use it as directed and stand well back. Put a good layer of mulch around it, right up to the trunk, to protect the roots from heat and to conserve water, pea straw, sugar cane mulch, lucerne. Any one of these are good, and each will add organic matter to the soil, a good thing. Put it on around 30-40mm thick right around the drip line and a bit more and you will be on the road to a tree. Steer clear of wood chip, as it will draw down nitrogen in the soil, that your plant should be using, for young explosive growth. If the wood chip is REALLY well weathered it may be ok, but I avoid it like the plague. Remember, you have fairly poor soil over there, sandy or degraded limestone or granite, so pour lots of organic material, manures, mulch, compost etc into the soil and you will be astounded with the results. A bit of shovel work now, will do the soil the world of good. If you can encourage worms into your garden, terrific, they are the best workers you can have, as they aerate the soil and fertlise it. Win, win situation. Who said there was no free lunch?

It's good shes getting plenty of sun now which she needs an loves, shes looks great, i think blood n bone is all much n much the same others may have different opinions, i like topping my plants once or twice so they bush out abit more too i like keeping my plants low an stealthy , i use ozi magic organic nutrients, but go-go juice sounds sweet. i'll have to start a thread of my outdoor grow soon. cheers keep up the good work she looks good.

Man what a sexy plant !!

Leaves look so shiny and healthy I'm impressed

She's obviously loving her new home , as the roots go further her growth each week will double !

Just as long as she's getting lots of direct sunlight in her spot ?

But so far so good mate , glad your taking on board what people are suggesting , I feel like were growing her with you haha .

Good stuff
