@@Patty-qd1lz No - I haven't seen any birds harmed by these electrified poles.

@@adamd9418 Tragically the CRS treasurer died. Several of us have been trying to get access to the funds so we can resurrect the forum. So far no luck and at this point I'm getting pessimistic about the chances of the forum returning. 😔

@@dpomerleau Oh gosh - that's awful and disappointing. If there's anything a regular old joy like myself could do to help get in back up and running, I would love to help.

​@@adamd9418thanks but I'm not sure there is anything that can be done at this point. TimC, the long-time admin died too about a year ago and the forum was on life support. Then the treasurer died and he was the only one with access to the CRS bank account. It's a mess and I'm not sure how it can be restored, since I don't think there is anyone with both the access, expertise and motivation to fix the situation.

Yes! I haven't had deer damage since I installed it a few months ago. I tested it today and it is still providing a shock. I've changed the scent lure twice.

I measured them to be about 7.5 true gallons - i.e. 150% of a 5-gal bucket.

@@dpomerleau Thank you so much

Sadly those high quality, injection molded 14" (8-gal) square pots used to be on $5-6 on both Amazon and Horticultural Source. Now they are $13 each on Amazon and only available in quantity 600 on HS. So I don't have a good source for you.

Thanks Zarko! I wish you luck in your transition too. When do you think you'll be moving your trees outside? I knew you were frustrated last year with having to shuffle them after you moved them outside due to the weather. Hopefully I won't have that problem too. I know it is somewhat of a risk transitioning them this early in our 6B zone. But the weather looks so favorable I couldn't resist. Fingers crossed that I won't regret the decision. 🤞

Thanks! I'll definitely do another update once they are fully transitioned and the threat of frost has officially passed. Until then I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers. 🤞

Thanks! I'm sure yours will come on strong given the nice early spring we are having.

Thanks Zarko! I've got you to thank for the broad design of my grow room and my overall headstart strategy. Looking forward to your next update.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chris! My pleasure.

Olympian has been a very good fig for me. Good luck!

Thanks Travis! I just hope I can move them outside before they get too big for the space I've got...

Thanks! I use the same ingredients but not quite the same ratio as Pete uses. My mix is 4:2:1:1 and his mix is 2:4:1:1 of the four main ingredients : pine bark mulch, peat moss, perlite and calcinated clay. I used my ratio last year and really liked how the tree performed so I've stuck with it!

Thanks Chris! I'm keeping track of how many breba each tree has set and I'll definitely include a final tally of how many of them dropped vs ripened over the next couple months in both a video and on OurFigs.

@@dpomerleau - This is so important as the actual data on Breba is so inconsistent - those of us in the PNW appreciate what you are doing!

Thanks Zarko!

Here is more than you wanted to know about the Agway pine bark mulch I use: www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home/1333520-pine-bark-mulch-processing Here is a link to the coarse perlite I use: PVP Industries PVP105408 120 Quarts - 4 Cubic Foot of Organic Perlite Planting Soil Additive Gi, White a.co/d/igk5TZM I also use peat moss and Safe-T-Sorb calcinated clay from Tractor Supply in my mix: www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ep-minerals-safety-absorbent The ratios are 4:2:1:1 PBM : peat moss : perlite : calcinated clay Hope that helps!

Thanks for the sub!

That's what I thought too! Maybe some of us in the UK need to get ourselves one of these tents to encourage main crop! 😅

@@hopeitgrows2892 haha, yeah it would give us a good chance of getting some main crop! I do have a grow tent, but I only use the frame of it to hold my grow light and then have a few tropical fruit trees under it. It would be more efficient if I used the tent though.

I also have a 5ft x 5ft grow tent in another part of my basement. It is great for young rooted cuttings and starting seeds for the garden. I didn't think it was big enough for my older fig trees. I could only have fit 3 or 4 of them in there.

Ah cool! I think if I ever move to the North​ of the Uk, I would probably try to set something like this up! @PeterEntwistle

I made the grow tent myself out of a 10x20ft greenhouse (~$180 on Amazon) and two 100ft rolls of 4ft wide, 6mil mylar attached to the interior of the greenhouse.

Thanks Zarko! I just figured out how to edit and was just playing around.

Thanks Travis! I'm watering the trees in 8-gal pots with 32oz every three days. Are you thinking about waking yours up yet?

@@dpomerleau I have Angelito and de la roca started in the basement. Will probably start the garage lights in the next week or two.

I considered an air filter but didn't think it would be effective enough - thanks for the suggestion and the information!

@@dpomerleau I'd also recommend a prefilter, they will increase the lifespan of the carbon filter, replacements are inexpensive and they can be washed. Cheers.
