Had to do some watering today, will be glad when this outdoor thing comes to a close. I've learned some new things, while cannabis can exist and outperform native plants...they still need a fair amount of space early in veg. I had some stretch issues, and it happens real fast. Now I know how some of you get those nice round looking, manicured shrubs. I have another site that is more open, wide open in fact...and those are much fuller. Perhaps I'll haul the camera out there when I chop.
Happy weekend!

2 inches of rain overnight, 90% humidity outside. I hope the large oscillating fan and box fan on my deck helps, i know the covering does! Edit: I got a couple of IMs about how the covering was made, just some pieces of PVC fastened with a single screw to the bottom of the roof, bent down then wire tied to trellis on deck rail through a hole drilled in the PVC. The 6 mil plastic was folded over several times at the top then fastened underneath with heavy staples through cut up milk cartons for stability. Same deal at the bottom as far as fastening goes.
Bag Seed tops and detail shot, getting frosty?
Kandy Kush top and closer bud shot
Harlequin buds, about a week in to flowering

1st time grower how does she look?View attachment 2807242
Maybe it's just the light but it's looks a little nitrogen rich in the first picture.
She don't too bad at all, sorry I should have said that the first time.

hello!
firstly, i started my girls in april, in my room next to my window. plain old dirt from my garden and some light. moved em outdoors after the last frost in may, and other than trying to obtain the 4 colas, i have done absolutely zero pruning.
i am curious about how you go about achieving a double harvest. my ladies are just starting to get all crystally and right now they are just starting to swell up, after having been in flower for about 3.5 weeks now.
my concern is that i may fuck up the harvest if i trim too much when i go to take the top colas. i want to make sure to leave enough for the lower branches to have everything they need to fill out, which i expect will take a few extra weeks compared to the tops.
could anyone perhaps offer me some guidance as to the proper technique to ensure i don't stress the plants too much while harvesting the tops?
i'm in montana, south central part of the state. not far from a relatively 'urban' environment, and we are getting some pretty good thunderstorms right now. been very hot during the day here, and the humidity in the mornings is usually around 60-65%, but drops considerably by about the lunch hour. we've had some stray thunderstorms come through with possibilities for hail, so i take steps to cover them in such circumstances. i've already had issues from hail this year, and i don't want to leave anything to chance this close to harvest.
i have no idea what strains i am growing, i got handed a bunch of bag seed, and i am fortunate in that all 7 of my plants have become lovely ladies.
i had a serious hail storm (tornado included!) come through about 2-3 weeks before flowering, which took 2 main colas right off one of my girls. i'm not sure she had enough time to generate enough side branching, but she is still alive and kicking, albeit smaller than the rest of my plants.
could anyone perhaps recommend, for a poor broke ass who can't afford to import seeds, a place where i might find some quality candidates for next year? i literally cannot afford to pay 10$/seed, plus shipping.
my grow is very simple. organic compost, the plain old dirt i have in my yard (these are in my garden with the rest of my veggies), some peat moss to help with the clay-heavy soil we have around here, but otherwise i didn't doctor the soil a lot, nor have i used any sort of snake oil ferts or anything like that at all. currently i'm on a molasses water (brer rabbit, unsulphered, 2-3 tblspn/gallon) regimen as follows: water, day off, water, day off, water, day off, feed, day off. i've been told i can up that feeding quite a bit, but i'm playing it safe for now. i figure i have about 4-5 weeks to go yet before i can do the first part of my harvest.
i appreciate any advice , as i am about to get my first yield of any kind growing outdoors full time. last year and the year before, grasshoppers/locusts destroyed my trainwrecks, and this year will be my first successful harvest.
the girls in the pictures are approximately 52" tall. no LST, no pruning (outside of what the hail storm did), just lots of water, sun, and love.
thanks!

hi folks, this is my first post here, but i do lurke here occasionally and do some reading and love viewing pics of every ones babies, i had another user name here but i forgot it.. hehehe typical stoner.. tonight i feel it is time for me to show you what i have in the fields here in southern ontario (west of toronto). ok to start i should tell you about them. i purchased these feminized ogiesel seeds from niagara seed bank in niagara falls, they are cali connection. 100% success germinating and quite impressed with veg. they are 55 day flower strain. atm its hard to tell the exact day they would be at but im guessing by looking closely and comparing to pics i see on the internet (including here) they would be around 28 days. if you think im way off, please correct me because i would certainly like to be as close as possible ..cheers!!

So apart from the plants growing under cover on my deck I have another plant exposed to the rain and wind. It was voted off the island as it was (and still is) a runt compared to the rest. It did pretty well considering the 2 inches of rain we got in a 10 hour period last night. I've been shaking the rain off as best as I can every AM but since this is Western Washington it rarely actually gets to dry out and the rain situation is only going to get worse as fall commences. I could build another cover, however I am really curious to see what this does unprotected. I have no idea of the strain but the unprotected plant seems to a getting a lot more purple. Both plants get the same feeding/watering and amount of direct sunlight, which isn't much these last few days with all the clouds and rain. Do these look OK to you?
Unprotected plant, bag seed approximately 3 weeks into flowering:
"Protected" plant, approximately the same flowering time and again, seed from the same bag.

Welcome to the thread and site! I never go by what the seed company say about finishing times. I let the trichs do the talking. I would say you are about right with it being around 28 days give or take a few days here or there. Smoking a j while taking pics, I like that! Plant looks and healthy!
Peace
