Week 17 - Aug 31 2020
Welcome all... sorry for the late post once again!! There just aren’t enough hours in the day and days in the week it seems. Garden has been a lot of work this week. Pulling off yellow leaves and supporting branches with all this heavy bud. So far I have had to tie up the Kali Mist, and one of the Cherries. A couple others have been staked as the entire plant is leaning over due to the additional weight of the bud. Overall I think the garden is in really good shape. I’ve done a bit of defoliation and have added a 3rd fan to help circulate more air. Still trying to get my hands on a dehumidifier. Thought I had it all lined up now the guy is being weird. (May have to send the “farmhand” over to persuade him!!)
Growth has pretty much stopped as most of the ladies are into heavy bud production. The other 3 that just keep growing (Kali Mist, Cherry Pie, Dr.) have now hit the ceiling of the green house so hopefully that will slow them down. I thought I left lots of room for walkways but I guess not, I almost need a machete to get to the Grapefruit way in the back.

This week will be focused on branch support and leaf removal once again. I am thinking that next year I will be going with a smaller garden, same greenhouse, just less plants, I think 6 is a better number for in there, with maybe a few autos in pots. I am afraid that my harvest is going to be over whelming!!
As for the Birthday get away what a treat! The BnB we rented was absolutely amazing and the views of the Collingwood mountains were beautiful. I still need to download my pics off the camera, but I will post a few once I do. This weekend the “Farmhand” has our social calendar full as we are trying to make the most of this crazy summer we have had. So I’m not going to kid myself... next post will prob be middle of next week. (measurements will still be recorded Sunday Morning as always for consistency)
Till next week!! Happy growing and Harvesting!!
@@Rocknrolla420, well I sure hope so, temps are dropping here in Ontario, I’m doing my best to keep the frost off of her. Think she will either come down this week or next.
Glad I stumbled across this grow. What a great project and well documented. This is one of the most fun diaries I’ve read. Can’t wait to see how things continue. Best of luck on the rest of this grow and thank you to your farmhand for adding that extra splash of color to an already colorful diary 😀
@Crpehdm,
With the vent in it, it looks pretty decsent for a selfmade greenhouse.
Im planning to break downs they old, low and tight greenhouse and build 1 with a wooden frame. The ventilator inspired me!! Ill take that idea with me.
Does take in or out? I geuss in.
Good growing and have fun
🍀🍀🍀🙌
@Organic_LarF, Thank you, it’s taken me a bit longer than I wanted, but I’m going the extra mile to make sure it’s done properly so that it will last, with minimal maintenance.
@bingothatsawinner, No not just yet, I figure I have another 2 - 3 weeks of veg left. Not sure if my hand pruners are going to be able to get through the stocks at harvest time! Might have to saw them down!!!
@Crpehdm, oh that’s awesome! Should definitely talk more then, I’m less than a 10 minutes drive to notl! Would love to get some expertise and meet you and your farmhand l😜
