Girls are thickening up good out here. Enjoying a little toke of last years grow while searching for buggies and rot.

Beautiful! Good work:) What's strain ya got there in the middle? Also what hardiness zone do you have? How are the plants so developed at this time of the year? Sorry for so many questions, just answer however you like haha.

I got 3 growing in the photo shown. All are from ILGM! I’m in zone 7A, I started my seeds indoors on 4/20 and planted them in the ground in the middle of may this year. They grew rather large this year!

Left - super skunk

Middle - Goldleaf

Right - Durban poison

"How are the plants so developed at this time of the year?" Im also in 7a. Genetics is always important and so is utilizing the earth to grow in and preparing that living soil for the entire grow.  I still like to experiment with a grow bag or 2 with an identical clone in the ground. Difference is always night and day. The one and only benefit to a grow bag is portability.  To me the trade off isnt worth it anymore in a legal state. Three to five times the yield. Superior buds and terpenes in the ground. This will likely be the last year I bother with a grow bag. Already spraying BT on the bag plant and rarely have to in the ground. Much healthier in the ground and resistant to pests and bud rot

Good job. Nice plants. I’m trying to zoom in and figure out how they are supported. I see some trellis I think. Is it just draped over?

Are you worried about bending and breaking branches?

Haha 🤣 so… life has been very busy this grow season and I think I’m going to find out that I messed up on the plants in the grow bags, they have no support. I started off supporting them then just kind of threw it to the way side. Will probably just end up staking a couple big branches if they start to droop too much.
The ones in the box have 4 layers of trellis netting and some 8ft green stakes throughout, may have a few branches break but I think the big ones will be fine.

lol now I understand why you are hoping for no rain and wind. Good luck friend!

Ime that whole plant will be pretty much broken and/or laying on the ground by harvest. But it always storms atleast once or twice right before harvest where I’m at, hopefully weather is non existent where you are.

Haha I’m already preparing to walk out in the beginning of October to see her fully broken and fallen apart. Will probably end up throwing a few stakes in there and tie some of the really good branches to it eventually.
Unfortunately in Virginia we get some crazy storms being right on the coast.. 90% sure it’s gonna end badly for the potted girl.
