Slater1980 2013

Hi to everyone :)

I'm going to start a glog for 2013 and I plan to finish it but I've got to have open heart surgery soon for a congenital bicuspid aortic valve.

I plan to grow less then half of the amount I did last year so it doesn't become such I commitment to look after the plants especially with all lifting of the plant pots you have to do to bring the plants back in at night to protect against frost.

I will have the help of my lovely girlfriend but I don't want it to become a chor for her to look after them if I can't.

I'm not a man of many words so I tend not to reply to questions with conversation starting answer but I really enjoy posting pictures and updates.

I hope you can all enjoy my glog.


I started by soaking my seeds in plain water for 6hrs,I got the water upto 29c before placing the seeds in water.

As long as your doing fine, that's the most important part :) but I must admit I'm very curious of your plants.
 
A little update, ( sorry for the lack of updates )

This is my shade corner for some of the plants which were struggling in the direct sunlight "it's been really hot here in the uk" all the new growth on the plants was been destroyed by the sun,I never had to deal with this last year as the weather was never as good as its been this year

These guys seen to love the direct sun,no signs of damage to new growth :)

I'll send some pics of my BBG7 once it soaks up all this rain we've been getting! The heat wasn't helping my plants either. So I've had to find some shady spots as well!
 
Looking good man! Yeah weather is crazy here, been late to warm up and now it's here it's really hot. This time last year floods!

I am in the south east near Guildford. One of my mates has just moved up to Durham hoping to escape some of the summer heat Lol!
 
It was getting eatin by somin,and then it rained for 3 days...Leaves are friggin huge! Lil beat up tho from the rain/bugs?
Once it gets a lil prettier I'll snap some more pics. This plant loves the Texas heat tho. Not the best looking plant(yet),but def the BIGGEST!

That's one of the saddest pictures I've ever seen :( looks like they where turning out good for you too.
I was only going to grow one bg7 this year but somehow I've ended up with 3..? I'll be more then willing to send you some more seeds if mine turn out true to type :)
 
Interesting! Thanks for da pics MON!
The top one if PERFECT,the tiny one is exactly what I was looking for. That "pre skirt" kinda thing. Then right next to it,I'm think 2-3 steps ahead?
I saw a pic somewhere in which they took a pic of each stage once it started budding/pod'n. From Bud to ripened  pod. I think this would be neat for this one...just to watch the "pre skirt" formation,and how it differs from every other pod!
What a cool plant!
 
Oh and since you forgot...Bayern won! LOL
