Seedsman Blue Dream Outdoors in Ontario

Jack_the_Mighty Ahh, heh heh. Ooops. I meant to keep this updated, but that was a brutal week. She's in the ground now though, so at least that's progress. My other plants had to deal with a cold snap and windstorm, and dealing with the damage took up a lot of time. I didn't lose any of them, but it got kinda close for one of them. If anyone is growing Bruce Banger, she doesn't deal well with cold winds. There really isn't much to say about this girl though. She's been happy enough so far. No trouble, no issues. We're going into a heatwave this week, but being in the ground she shouldn't have any issues with it. I'll likely be topping her to keep her under the fence line, but if she stays flexible I might try my hand at LST. I'll be checking out other grow journals to get an indication of how this strain does with different training methods, but if anyone has any advice feel free to speak up. Looking forward to a long season here!

Jack_the_Mighty 7th of June So, getting back on track, we're trucking right along. 3rd set of true leaves are coming in nicely. She's gone through a few windy days, and her first rain shower with no problems, and seems to like the spot I picked for her. There are supposed to be a few thunderstorms some time in the next few days, so we'll see how that goes. I'm leaving the support in for now. It's loose enough that the wind should still strengthen the stem, but will be there if she needs it for now. I still don't know how I'm going to train her. I'll let her get a couple more sets of true leaves before making any decisions. I'll be trying for daily updates and pics, but no promises. 8th of June Rained last night, and it's going to rain some more today, but I just got out there during a break in the clouds to snap a couple of pics. Hope she doesn't stretch too much from the overcast conditions. 11th of June She is stretching a bit. I think I may have the more sativa phenotype too. I have grown plants in the same location before, so I'm pretty sure she's getting enough light. At least I don't have to worry about feeding her, I amended the soil pretty well this spring. Whoops, almost forgot, something has been nibbling on her leaves. I am planning to give her a spray of chitosan this evening when she's out of direct sunlight. 12th of June And here we reach the end of week 2. She's doing well, and the weather is finally starting to co-operate. Looking forward to seeing how she does under better conditions.

Jack_the_Mighty What a hectic few days. So, we identified the pests eating the plant. Earwigs. I got some diatomaceous earth, and mixed it in with the chitosan spray to take care of them, and I spread some under the plant to help prevent the little bastards from getting to her in the first place. We'll see if it works over the next few days.

Jack_the_Mighty Whoops. Well, I've been pretty busy, so this journal kinda slipped my mind. I'll try to get back on it. She's had problems with the earwigs, so I started using diatomaceous earth and earwig traps to fight them. They helped a lot, though we've had enough rain that the de has to be replaced pretty frequently. I also added a stake as the wind was too intense and she was permanently knocked on her side until I got her upright. The pic above was from the end of week 6, and it's the end of week 7 in a couple of days. Don't really know/remember anything else to add.

Jack_the_Mighty Yeah. I'm pretty bad at the whole diary thing.😬 She's actually the last of my plants this year to start flowering, but she's starting to pick up steam. She's flowering faster than the Amnesia "fast" I have, but I'm not too surprised since she's in the ground and the Amnesia is in a pot. I'll try to post more often. Actually take pics documenting the whole of the flowering period this year, at least once a week. 😅
