hey bc. ive been watchin and the first thing i thought of was maybe you should try to put a good layer of mulch down around the base of your plant. you got a really sunny spot there. i had the same problem and im in a moisty area. i cleared the weeds and now the area dries up from a beating sun. wood chips let water in, don't hold water on the surface but protect the ground from the heat.

Dimebag-Thanks! Unanticipated problems like this are the reason why you don't put all your eggs in one basket. I tghink she will pull through it and put up a good share of bud yet.
little j-Very good point there!
I forgot to mention that I finally did mulch her on this trip, using old Maple/Oak leaves from last fall, it was a easy trip over to the nearest woods.
I should have mulched her as soon as I planted her, I think I need to just get in the habit of always mulching at transplant.
This one plant is the only plant at this plot, and she is the only plant having moisture issues of any kind, and I do think it is just due to the exceptional sun exposure

hey bc, i have the same problem with underwatering, i have 3 hashberriers in one 18 gallon bin and i cant water them as fast as they can drink. also they recieve almost direct sunlight the entire day so on the hot days, a lot of water evaporates as well i suppose. they will live through alot, just keep on doing what u can.
i've found that mulch can grow mould on in it, and so it is risky to have around your plants...anyone else found this? either way i'd be careful bc

I don't think mold on the mulch is anything to worry about.
You can't see it, but mold spores are in the air all around us all the time(its on your skin and in your hair right now, and you just breathed some in just now), the problem is when the conditions are right for it to take hold in your bud.

Here is another group picture of HM#3, this angle only shows 6 of 11 plants in this plot
The smaller "2nd gen" plants are mostly OR95 and OR95xC99. OR95b is my largest plant, over 5' right now(the pic cuts her head off), the smaller "2nd gen" plants are mostly OR95 and OR95xC99, the larger plants in the pic are all over 4.5'.
I love this plot, I already have plans to improve it next year. Its a great location, hidden inside a thicket of Willows, Madrone, Manzinita, Douglas Fir, Ceader, and Poision Oak. This year I should be able to pull nearly 3 times what I need from these plants alone.
Here are the plants being used for raw seed production-
I'll be seperating the strains into remote locations(from each other) when flowers start showing in a month.

Agreed that spot dose look great! Good luck with the season ahead i will be checking back often.
Are those males?
Looking good! Keep the H2o coming!
Thanks guys!! Our weather got a bit cooler the last couple days, and we got a rare thundershower, so no worries for a bit, about water anyways.
This winter I'll get a ton of water stored onsite, build a pretty good Deer fence, and do some extensive soil improvement.

Everything looks good BC.
Hey on that droopy one if in fact it does take a turn for the worse try checking out the root system. I had one that did the same while others were fine and turned out something was eating the roots so it could not get enough water.
Great job looking way beter than mine and I still have to sex next time I am there. Good luck great thread.

nice work backcountry
Thanks guys!
No Large animals(ghophers) are eating this plant, I doubt its bugs either, I suspect if anything it would just be straight root rot from water sitting on the roots too much through Spring.

BC, I live in the Seattle Area.
From the news I read our larger cartels are Asian and from Canada supplying all the large scale bud production. They have names that sound Veitmanese. You have entire houses rented for the sake of growing and teams come and go from the homes. The Mexicans here bring in Crack, Coke and Heroin. Nice guys to have around your kids.
Mulch is what all the gardening radio shows talk about, but not bark. Bark provides a thatch room effect, but still holds the moisture. They make all kinds of mulch out of there, even alphalpha. A lot of trouble for a guerella, but so is the loss of a plant. I also use a grub control which is safe to use generously. I hope that big girl gets back on her feet soon.

Yeah, they caught some Asian guy with a SUV loaded with B.C. bud, speeding down the coast highway a few years back.
I use straw mulch in my Veggie garden, but I used native leaves at my Cannabis grows, its easier than hauling it a distance.

Thankyou pookey!
I just got done forcing 4 plants recently, I decided to start forcing them in May after I determined that my lite 2006 Outdoor crop would not last throgh this summer of smoking.
I didn't really intend to share this grow with the community, so I don't have many pics(I usually don't share personal grows that aren't Guerrilla).
I used 4 plants from the pool of plants I used for my outdoor grows this year, these plants were from a batch started in mid-March, I had a hunch that all were female since many males from this generation had shown sex already. They were transplanted into 2 gallon buckets in a peat-coco-perlite mix, and were fed High P guano as a top dressing and tea, and Miracle grow Bloom booster as well.
I started capping the plants around May 15th, using cheap black garbage cans from Wal-mart. I turned the lids upside down on the ground and placed the planters on the lids, when I capped the plants each day I simply placed the can over the plants and snapped the cans into their lids.
Since I work full time, and I can't keep the plants at my home, capping and un-capping was a pain, going against advice from people who do this often, I chose to leave the plants capped overnight so I didn't have to visit and un-cap them after dark. The reason you are not supposed to leave them capped overnight is because it may encourage mold.
I kept the plants in a place where the caps would not have much sun on them before I un-capped them in the morning and after I capped them at night, to prevent wilting and other heat related problems.
My daily schedule didn't allow me to be as consistant with when the plants were uncapped and capped every day as I would like.
I did make sure they never saw more than 12 hours of sun in a day, but some days they saw as little as 8, and most days it was more like 9-10 hours. I often went ahead and covered them more than 12 hours often because they rarely ever had potential for more than 10 hours of direct sunshine in the day anyways.
Forced OR95-
OR95x Northern lights(the OR95 had some small spots of mold, and was completely disassembled), thats a 1 Pint Jagermeister bittle-
