Looking good kindbud! I've actually never grown in the ground before. To be honest this has been my first year even on the ground lol. I've always hung camouflaged 5 gallon buckets containing the plants up in the trees with reservoir buckets dripping water via valve and feed line to them. Worked great and provided me with great smoke.

I've backed off on smoking cause it has been too hard on my lungs so I'm going the edibles/tinctures route. But a new problem arises... I need more bud than I've had in the past, which means I need bigger plants. So to the ground I go. Got off to a late start this season and I'm comfortable growing in containers so my plants are in contractor bags with holes poked in the bottom (easier to haul in than pots or tubs and cheaper.) I put a 14 gallon bag of Happy Frog soil into each grow bag as well as 2 gallons of perlite. My dumb ass (forgetting I wasn't in the trees away from critters) also added fertilizer containing bonemeal to the mix and 3 of my plants were unearthed by the critters. One was completely destroyed and 2 others got fucked up but were saved. Another plant was topped by a deer. So I got learn the value of chicken wire and I made a fence lol. Problems solved.

I have 7 that are doing great and 3 that have some catching up to do. I dropped off a few buckets that I'm going to fill with the soil from the extra bag (the one that got destroyed) and add some more plants to the plot after the weekend. Usually I only go out at night but I might have to try and get some pictures in daylight if I make it out there.

Next year I'm for sure doing it in ground. Going to use the leftover soil from the bags and make amendments to the native soil. I think it will make things much easier with fewer visits to the plot.

Good idea. Make your cages and drop them off along with the stakes before the snow flies for next year. A little weathering will also help. The more you do now, the easier it's going to be next year.

The upside to edibles/tinctures/oil is that the high lasts for hours and hours so it's economical. It takes a couple hours to fully kick in so it's easy to take too much (I learned my lesson. lol).

Yea I've also backed off smoking and pretty much everything. Since I stopped doing indoor grows I only smoke around harvest time or when really good weed arises. But were I live good weed is hard to come by.....unless I'm growing it lol. The buckets in the trees sounds like a very complex operation. If you can pull that off you'll be fine my friend. Somebody was kinda laughing about everything KangarooKY was doing to keep critters out but that's pretty much what I do also. It takes a gameplan that you sure. I've never really gotten into the edibles either.....another thing unheard of in these parts. People live 25yrs behind other parts of the world here.....it's crazy how people are afraid of small/simple changes. Most stores have just starting taking debit cards around here lol. Folks and writing checks. Such a old fashioned community.....I lived in Chicago almost 15yrs so I find it extremely odd how the small country back woods are....growing up here though things haven't really changed in 40+ yrs that I've noticed. But maybe I'll get to try edibles one day.

Be careful, backwoods Indiana here first time I tried a edible I was hearing people call my name from the woods, neighbors lawn mower freaked me out I thought it was a chopper, ran around with a heavy heart beat tripping out for about 4 hours.

Lol yea nobody around here is gonna have edibles....maybe 15-20yrs down the road. It's opiates, benzodiazepines, crack, meth. There's not many folks that even smoke anymore.

I used to live up in north Indiana. It was flat as heck up there. I did some outdoor grows around fields. Done many big indoor grows. I lived/worked up there around 15yrs. It really grew on me having everything so convient. I was less than 5min from everything. Now in WVa I'm at least 1hr from a Walmart or store/city. I really miss Indiana....not the winters though....brutal. I can't imagine up in Canada like Tycho and these guys...think he's 45n lat.....sshheeewwww

Defoiling today. Keeping plants short. 2 ft tall by 4 plus ft wide


Nice vid...and damn !!!! You got some fine looking plants. Living the good life....got a chair out in the garden and sit in the shade and watch them babies grow. You got those things spread out and super low to the ground. I'd had to started a plant indoor in March to have stuff near that size. Everybody should check that video out !!!

You gotta dress for it. Summer and winter. Ottawa is the coldest capital, and the hottest capital. Figure that one out.

It's 100F now and 75rh.

You get Tornado warnings? We get "Frost Bite Warnings" where exposed skin freezes in 5-10 seconds. lol

It sounds really bad, but not really. Not saying it's not dangerous. But so is having your car quit in the desert without a bottle of drinking water.
 
I’ve been out of town for a couple weeks now and the whole time I’ve been gone it has rained, flooded, down poured.. sheesh. I sure hope the damage isn’t too bad when I finally get to go check them. Especially my little babies I just sit out a few weeks ago!! Crossing my fingers! How did your all’s small ones take all those storms? I know wvkindbuds I know u went thru some storms.. there’s several ppl on here not to far away from me! Give me some hope people lol

Cali... how dafuq you getting such horizontal growth... that clip has me perplexed

Topping and lst..... And alot of hours pruning and working on the plants. I was out there defoiling plants yesterday for 8 hours. Had to pull off atleast 1000 leafs between the plabts i did yesterday. It encourages the bottom larf to get light and become main branches. Tie the tops down low so the middle of the plant the larf thinks its the top. The branches outside the cage will keep up.thanks
