They have jumped again in height quite a bit this week; they are big plants to say the least.
Each plant is approximately 5 ft (60inches) tall (2 are a little taller than that) and they are all about 4 ft (48inches) wide.
They drink like horses do!
I didn’t expect these plants to fill out their 10 gallon pots so quickly, but they are pretty well root bound.
All in all these ladies are doing pretty well; this week I gave them a 70/30 mix of Gaia greens all purpose and power bloom, amongst a few other Gaia green products to boost phosphate and potassium, and continue to supplement with advanced nutrients additives once a week.
I defoliated this week; and actually got quite violent with them to try to allow some more light to penetrate the canopy; you wouldn’t even know it 😑
Slowly they are changing their growth patterns; we are also loosing daylight in my hemisphere at the rate of about 2.5 minutes a day, hopefully that helps continue to ease them comfortably into flower 🌺
@Themythicalchristine, Il take the baton over from you in September. Im kicking back and enjoying the fellow outdoor northern hemisphere growers produce the beauties
@WeedWhisperer,
Same here. It becomes too cold for outdoor here in the end of September; but I try to finish off any grows I have going, indoor or outdoor by November, that’s holiday time for me and the pooch 🐕
@forcode1123,
Thanks friend; we did ok, they saw some heat stress, but overall they champed it out real well.
They continue to impress me these little monsters 🌱
I can throw one out there for the Harvest Gods.
“Be nice to this Person, they’ve done something AMAZING !! “
Let it Grow Madame! what you’ve done is Spectacular
Oh my God, this is an amazing garden! Growing outdoor is the way that reconciliate humans with nature! Excellent grow! Keep going friend.👍🙏
Sweet hugs from us ❤️❤️❤️

@SonomaSungrown, absolutely!
I love the results Gaia green has provided; it’s easy to use and the line of nutrients is very affordable.
It produces some really nice bud; as well as incredible vegetables fruits and flowers.
I will absolutely continue to use Gaia green products.
@Themythicalchristine, have been scoping the gaia line for a while as a "turnkey" organic solution. Are you pleased with the results? Do you see yourself continuing to use it?
@SonomaSungrown, these puppies have mostly been fed with Gaia green.
I have supplemented with advanced nutes in the flower.
I have had some pretty solid results with the nutrient line; even when I didn’t know nothing about nothing.
I’d give them a solid 7.5 out of 10 for performance.
Things to complain about? The root mass expander line is no longer available in my area, big bummer.
Thanks for checking us out ☺️
@StoneyJake, so far it seems like these ones are on track.
I was trying to force flower them chemically, but that was a moot point.
I was trying to fight environment with science
These ones usually mature for mid October; they seem to be on track for that.
However if they do have to go longer they can now 💜
@Themythicalchristine, Ive got the same thing going on . I think the heat delayed the flowering or something because most of my plants are 2 weeks later then they are supposed to be
@StoneyJake, I don’t think it’ll be a problem for them going into November if they must,
now that they are covered from the rain.
I also have power available to the greenhouse and a dehumidifier to keep the climate in check.
I’ve tried to prepare myself as best I can to wait them out. 🔮
@MrFink, hey thanks!
They are getting to be big puppies now!
I am very impressed with how they are progressing, hopefully the weather stayed favourable through the late summer and we get a sweet harvest from them
