If your plant isn't giving off a string high, then you might have a low delta 9 but high delta 8 plant. There are several different variants within that plant you might find good use for, other than smoking for a buzz. I've grown "Grosse Lisee" here although not this year with the constant rain. Here they come out very big and fragrant. I planted them to receive the morning sun in season. No rot, blight or mould. From the centre 1 slice offers a sandwich size slice. Tasty. I just had to get the right place. Soil was hard 50/50 clay and loamy. Side of the house facing sunrise with supports. One tomato was nearly a meal in itself. Still, depends on the climate. Kind regards and good luck from Bally who is growing Dragon Fruit and Kiwi Fruit presently. ![]() RE: Growing Tomatoes - FlickerOfLight - 04-03-2025 (04-03-2025, 04:42 AM)Bally002 Wrote:(04-02-2025, 10:57 PM)FlickerOfLight Wrote:(04-02-2025, 09:32 PM)Ninurta Wrote: "Anti-inflammatory" sounds nice.

It was sort of like a sour strawberry with a sweet aftertaste. Dragon fruit is another extraordinary fruit. It is definitely one of the neatest looking fruits. They look like alien eggs to me. ![]() I've got Ludell more in the mid morning sun and afternoon shade. After reading all of this and considering what mistakes I've made, I think the soil I used will be my biggest mistake. I should have used a bagged mixed for vegetables. I ended up using dirt from my yard that was too close to that wood line border. Plus, I didn't mix in enough fertilizer into my soil. I think what I've got going now is trying to correct that soil ph imbalance. I'll probably have to break down and buy a soil test kit and get that balanced out, hopefully. I also realized I hadn't pruned the plant at all. I watched a tutorial on that and will do some pruning tomorrow. I have a bunch of suckered on there and they need to come off. There is some debate (according to two separate youtu.be vidoes) on the pruning of tomatoe plants and whether or not it's necessary to prune the suckers. I'm gonna prune because I think my plant is too bushy and possibly not getting enough air circulation. Thanks for the input. Enjoy those kiwis and dragon fruits. RE: Growing Tomatoes - FlickerOfLight - 04-03-2025 I did my first bit of pruning this morning. I waited till the plant was fully dry, to prevent the spread of disease, and it will had good sun for the rest of the day. I removed the lower limbs of the plant. Some were too close and possibly even touching the ground. Apparently this is also very important for the prevention of spreading fungus or disease (like blight). I removed all of the suckered branches from the bottom, they were located right in the "armpit" of the stalk. Very easily recognized for what it is. I didn't know that each stalk will grow those random branches off of the 'producing stems'. Plus towards the middle and top there were tiny little "suckers" all about that I removed. This is just what I've learned through this process I have shared. If I've got something wrong about pruning, please correct me. Ludell has grown past the trellis ring, and is a little over 3ft tall. Looking really healthy this am. One of the yellow flowers went into bloom this morning. I have a few opened yellow blooms now. Im just happy i havnt killed it yet. If it produces tomatoes i will be uber stoked. RE: Growing Tomatoes - FlickerOfLight - 04-27-2025 I wanted to give an update on this, especially since yall were so much help with it. Someone mentioned in here that once the plant starts to produce tomatoes it will need more water. I had checked it one morning and it looked great, but then that afternoon it looked like it was drying out. The yellow flowers were all burned up looking. I panicked thinking I was about to lose the plant before it produced some tomatoes. I said screw it and just dumped a bunch of water on it even though my watering schedule hadn't changed. The next day I noticed a small green bulb, about the size of a pea. The beginning of my first tomatoe. The next day there was another one. They are the size of large marbles now. I checked "Ludell" again this afternoon and noticed two more. I'll be eating mater sandwiches soon. ![]() Thanks, RN. |
