New to growing: Tricomike

[Tricomike]

This is my first year and everything is going good so far. I did make the mistake of starting my plants to early. I started in late February, they sprouted in 5 days and took of. I think it was because I did it in my garage I built a greenhouse and my wood burning stove is in the garage and runs 24/7 in the winter. I had to wait til early May to get them in the ground and by then a lot were root bound. I do have some nice plants now already getting flower heads

Those look great. What kind are they? What medium are you using in your pots?

Composted cow manure is great. I apply large trailer loads every 2-3 years. Still your plants look great.

I should do that, currently with the covid foolishness the way it is I rely on whatever is at the one store I can tolerate standing in line for that week. Right now general shake and feed junk from home Depot.

I get it for free. The farmer up the road has a huge trailer and just brings it if I want. Maybe Tricomike has the same deal???

I buy the bags at home depot its called bovine something. I forget. I always use it ,great for my tomatoes also

I'm not sure,don't see any bugs or worms,I'm wondering if its squirrels, they are always messing around in my patch. Only a few leaves are damaged, not badly but I don't want them to get worse.

 

[Tricomike]

I figure ill use them for filler or pipes anyway. This is my first grow and pretty happy so far. Learning alot

 

[Tricomike]

My plants are really going good. Having a few bug problems on a few plants others are untouched. I've picked a couple horn worms off and sprayed with the spino stuff. It seems they feast at night because I check plants 3 or 4 times during the day and don't see them.
