Only a little

Only got a little bit done tonight so far. I do have to admit that part of the reason I haven't been getting much done is because there are several TV shows on which I like. Looks like a lot of people have come around to the same tastes in entertainment which I have had for decades. 

I am getting a lot of laundry done. Including whites and blankets to pack away for summer.

Laid plastic sheeting down on two more mounds, anchored with staples. The grass still keeps coming up in some spots. Leave that in place for a while. Seems to be working on the tomato patch so far. 

The theory about the cannabis plant turned out to be right. If the plant looks weak and leggy, plant it deeper and it gives more room along the main stem for roots to develop, which happens very quickly. From how fast it responded I would guess that even before it develops more roots it starts absorbing nutrients through the stem. 

Been reading up on forcing flowering and growing from cuttings (in this case called "cloning", which is probably true of most or all plants). Once the plants reach sufficient size, I can take cuttings and force the larger plants to flower. In some places, plants are force flowered as early as two weeks old. Hmm. Not happening with these. Maybe I need to fertilize them more. 

Looks like I do need to get more seeds or a plant which is more indica dominant. Best bet in the long run may be to combine them. I'll go back to the dispensary next week. 

The cucumber seeds I planted a few days ago are coming up already. So, even though the first one died off there's hope to have some cucumbers by mid-summer. 

Now it's time to get watermelon seeds started this week.
