First Grow: Ontario Backyard

@Ontario, actually mine’s an experimental outdoor grow and she’s getting only water. The medium is 50/50 promix and regular compost with an addition of about 30-40% perlite. No nutrients at all. The idea was to train her in a circle and #1 expose more bud sites to direct sun, #2 hope that some of the branch buds came up as full on colas. I’ve had good success with this on indoor auto grows but first try outside. As far as the stem is concerned, that’s what you would’ve gotten if you hadn’t topped ur plant And broken it’s apical dominance. You’ve managed to successfully top your auto (Koodos for that alone dude!) so my guess is that while your giving up some stem size and strength, I think you can and should expect a larger yield when flowering really kicks in. Just remember to keep her supported if the extra colas start to get huge. I’ve been following your grow closely and can’t wait to compare final yields! (I still have one of these babies in the seed bag for another try 😉 later). Cheers

@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks man! I'm hoping for the exact same thing! Wishing I had trunks like your Cheese XXL though, mine are like half the size. What are you giving her??

@dailygrower, Agreed. Looking like it's too much water and nutrient burn. Keep us updated though.

@dailygrower, Thanks for the help buddy, I'm going to give that a shot.

@ShaggyGrower, Hey thanks man I'm going to look into those ASAP! Appreciate the help.

@Ontario,yes I am in Quebec and had a great summer

@Tonino, Thanks! Hasn't been a bad Canadian summer (as long as you're not living in BC or Alberta though)

@Ontario, def put a layer of sand or perlite on top of your soil. Thrips nymphs burrow into the soil and emerge as the winged form. You can kill the ones that are already in your soil by using H202 and the sand or perlite layer on top will prevent anymore getting in there. Sounds like you live in a bit of a pest hotspot brother. Maybe try inside next grow? Much safer....

@PharmaZ, Hey PharmaZ! Yes fortunately it's not russet mites, this is whiteflies and thrips. Sorry for not being too detailed, I'll upload more pictures of what the bites look like. I wish we had Neem Oil in Canada but it's banned here from what I've been told. Perlite could help because I wouldn't be surprised if these pests were living in the soil. Thanks for the help!

@Ontario, Haha awesome plenty of colours to come on my page !!

@Lennys_Laboratory, Thanks buddy! Just checked out your diaries, super jealous of those Purple Afghan Kush. Will definitely be following you

@TheBudWhisperer, Appreciate it man, thank you!

@bobo420, Thanks Bobo!

@Sativarollin69, Thank you!

@bobo420, Thanks Bobo!

@ChillumMafia, Yeah my update was a bit late sorry! I transplanted it into a 10 gal smart pot earlier in the week. Would have done it earlier but the weather hasn't been ideal.

@Ontario, not a problem mate. Been a pleasure 👍 All the best Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, Thanks for all the help and support throughout Mark

@Tonino, Appreciate it thank you!

@BudStinkWeed, Haha thanks man! Takes up so much space on my phone and computer but it's worth it

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, Thank you!

@BeefWellingtons, Thank you!
