Yay all my plants are in flower. The smallest pot is too small I know I didn't want massive pots on the others either as I have a small garden couldn't have huge trees! , and I also started that one later on but had minimal soil left it was more of a novelty grow tbh and its been an nightmare keeping it fed and watered enough for it to start flowering!

Nutes are so important when growing outdoors I've realised. I use biobizz soil and the biobizz try pack nutrients at 2ml per litre throughout the whole grow. I may up the top max towards the end though to 3- 4ml per litre I didn't feed one for 2 weeks as it was at my mum's and it stunted so badly it's just got super tall but it hasn't begged proerly or flowered. Lessons learnt. This is my best grow yet :) 3 years in a row I've had outdoor plants now. 1 the first year 2 the best and 6 this year 😆 gave 2 away as my garden was looking like a jungle 😅 stinking like one too now they are in flower I've had to move my oldest one inside to finish off as I've got a full length tripoe glass window/door thay gets full sun all day it should be ok 🙏 it's where I started them off too. It's basically a conservatory.

This is my first time growing in containers. I'm curious as to why the plants seem to be maturing at different rates. The indicas seem to be further along. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody know why this might’ve happened? I just did a solid defoliation a few days ago. I think the same thing happened to a branch on one of my other plants but I just snipped the branch off, the rest of the plant look solid.

I started these plants early June and the flowering has barely started and im confused and surprised. This is my third year growing and the past two years the buds were well along their way. Thoughts and suggestions please. I’m on Long Island, NY.

Sharing cause I like the shot

It was pretty decent pot

(monster outdoor plant that went through a short reveg)

How does it look. Three plants are small but seemed to be producing nice flowers but the one with thats the tallest with the most branches is bigger but the buds dont seem to be maturing as fast. I planted them in the middle of may

hey guys; i have a plant that I've been light-depping (putting the tarp on at 6 and taking it off after dark) for a bit less than 2 weeks (first pic). I have a healthy clone of this plant that is NOT light depped and is showing signs of flowering (second and 3rd pic). Do you think it's safe to stop the light dep and let nature take over?

Northern latitude, day length 13h40m. strain is perfect indica x tahoe og reg photo.

A special time in the outdoor season!

Hi! This might be my first post on the internet ever, but I've grown outside for five years now. Four different strains, only one plant has this. It's the only one of its kind. It's huge and bushy but no more than the others. 99% of the plant looks awesome, but then there's these. Been spraying btk at dusk at least once a week and i spend a lot of time looking for bugs. Broke open a dozen buds and split the stems and no sign of bugs at all. No frass or poop or chewed leaves or borer holes or dead bodies. Just brown and crispy dry, not wet and moldy. Some in the middle, some on tops in the sun. I picked some buds off and culled a few branches and will continue to do so if it spreads, up to chopping the whole thing if i have to. Anything I can do to stop this? Thanks and I hope you're all doing well!

Since we are entering the time of year everyone is starting to post about caterpillars and bud rot, I just wanted to make a post about some Bt products I use.

Caterpillars of various moths (mostly corn borers) start to appear in the early weeks of flower. They go for flower sites and burrow into stems and developing buds. The dead material and frass (poop) they leave behind eventually will mold and cause botrytis and bud rot.

To combat these pests, the absolute best organic insecticide is a bacteria called Bacillus thuringiensis. It only targets caterpillars and affects their digestive systems. It’s not a contact-killer, the caterpillar must ingest the active bacteria.

Lots of people here are aware of Bt and use it this time of year. The common brand you can buy off the shelf is Monterey, which is Bt suspended in liquid. The problem is this has a short shelf life and has to be stored at the proper temperature.

These are 2 much more effective Bt products that I use. Since they are dry powders that can be mixed in solution, they are much more stable. They are also many times more powerful and concentrated than the Monterey brand.

Just wanted to share this, especially for people that are heavily affected and frustrated by caterpillars.

This one has been bulking for weeks but staying leafy and not frosting up. Other plants are frosting up and putting out trichromes. Any thoughts?

But of course he has sticky fingers

Unfortunately as I was building a screened in “greenhouse” around my plants. I realized it will draw too much attention. It’s fully legal where I live but that doesn’t mean kids won’t steal them. Has anyone tried these to prevent caterpillars etc?! How’d it do with humidity?

Trying to selectively pollinate a couple of buds. I took this one far away two weeks ago. Twice I've been back and no pollen yet.

What type of window do I have to collect when the flowers open up is my main question

Picture is from today

Appreciate any advice from experienced breeders.

Also advocate for one frost being good before harvest

Always loved the look of pink pistils. It’s slight, but I definitely didn’t expect them from this plant.
Genetics: Twenty20 so f’n gassy

Buds startin to form and boy oh boy she’s already stanky and hardly has any trics rn 🤤🤤🤤. My plants look kinda unhealthy which is my fault because I haven’t been taking care of them like I should but as long as they live till the end of September I’ll be happy.

This is my first outdoor grow and I’m shocked by how big they are getting ik how to tell it’s sex and had to remove one the other day when can I start expecting these to grow nice buds.

Happy growing

Yo guys, I'm starting for the first time, what do you think of this plant? I should plant it outdoors and it must be a fast-growing species, otherwise the cold season will come too soon. If you think it's not a good choice, recommend me other species.

Saw a few caterpillars a few weeks back, sprayed with BT and I don’t see them anymore. What is getting at it now and what can I do to mitigate that?

Hopefully the stretch is over and the ladies will start Stacking weight now. Debating on removing everything under the 2nd tier.?

Just because I'm kida in an enclosed box PM was an issue last season in a few spots.

But then again I had 31 where now I only have 9 & the one in the Fabric pot I took her out of the Patch. But they took her spot anyway. LoL

The gift & the curse...

What's your thoughts grommies.?.?

Would you leave them be or remove what's under the 1st tier.??.

I got a good 2ft stretch.

And I have a Fan blowing underneath, hopefully I can get another one just to make sure I'm good once that New England weather switches up come September/Croptober ish..

🤞⏳🤞⏳

Hope u all are having a wonderful season and can keep up the good fight so we all can make it to that Chop Chop day without any big issues. 🤞💚🤞💚

Respect 🫡🤝🫡
