Thanks ya its not that i dont want big but im one guy and needing a ladder to inspect and treat adds alot of time in the garden pros and cons lol
I get it, doesn’t make them any less gorgeous to an outsider though lol, given mine are on a deck in a fairly populated neighborhood area (1st outdoor, 8+ years indoors) I strived for a low profile grow too. I topped (3) times early for (8) main colas (Not sure I’d do that again given it seems to weaken the base joints)... but they’re still about ~6’ tall but not nearly as dense as I’d like them (why I drool when I see yours lol). Of course the 45 gallon pots they’re in are 18” deep too, so I’m paying attention to the overall 7 1/2’ height right now too. Not that I can do anything about it in stretch anyway.

The pools I anticipated would “hold” water for the greater good in times of “drought”, instead we had a freak’n July with ~24 out of 31 days with rain. So my $5 ea Petco investment went down the tubes as the doggy pools filled up and mandatory drainage became a real thing. Lol (drill sound here lol)

I’ve been out of the loop this year, got a late start, may 9 germination, July 9 brought out doors, early pictures posted. Been bending, breaking and tying down until a week ago and did my last tie down of the runt of the end of the video today. The first 3 on the right in the video were gifted clones from a friend and I’m trying to transplant and flower indoors at another friends house.

I left a plant outside in a cloth pot, shown in picture, all winter. I had too much work to do to harvest it and just left it to the snow all winter. I got two “volunteer” sprouts this spring and fostered them. One was a male and was hulled but I got this Beauty, pictured alone to show. Thanks for reading and I’m following all of ya, best of luck massholes

Now I do regret planting later in the season. My branches are not as robust as they were this time last year; weighted down with the rain, a few larger ones have partially broken off at the base. I have staked and duct taped them, and am staking everything else today.

Well I guess that’ll teach ya... and all for the affections of a woman! Lol Kidding of course, but kind of makes you wonder why we tend to pay daily attention normally when you can leave them for 10 days and they greet you with a welcome back with such open arms doesn’t it? Look’n good crisnpropa!

One week ago:

Today, probably about at the end of stretch? All are at least ~6’, and two of my Blueberries are 7’.

Got some P deficiency (from the rapid growth?) I addressed today:

My favorite Gelat.OG so far; the stem smells kind of like cocoa; nice structure:

My favorite Wedding Cake x Nicole; super wide fan leaves, and nice structure:

I’m really enjoying following everyone else’s grows!

I made a major upgrade to the greenhouse today ... i tried to tell my wife all about it, but she doesn't give a shit... so I figured I'd share it with all you guys instead...

I've been using a pump sprayer for years ... it fkn blows especially late in the season when the plants are huge. It takes fifteen refills, a thousand pumps, and about an hour to spray everything ... not to mention cleaning clogged tips and all that ... I just reduced that to about ten minutes total.

I added an on demand spraying pump today and it works pisser. It can pull directly from either my 10 gallon brewing bucket, 55 gallon mixing drum, or the rainwater collection drums. It transfers at about 3 GPM and sprays like a champ. I'm eventually going to build a better manifold for it, but for now this works fine. I think I'll keep it.

Nice... Kudos, I admire the creativity! Not sure I totally understand the engineering, but I certainly understand the results! Though not as elaborate, reminded me of my indoor grows that presented similar agitation when watering and found a solution for my tent grows that someone from a previous post long ago threw out there and has been pretty effective in that world too. Funny too, but I happen to use the same white Rubbermaid bucket as my reservoir as I see in your photo.

In my indoors I used to do a 55 gallon res. Air stones, and a mondi (spelling could be off) in water pump. Attached to a wonder wand. I used to do all that deck sprayers and back pack sprayers….. shits for the birds. I like that upgrade stick with it.
