I'm not sure Pipeline. This is my first Bangi Haze grow. I realize it will be touch and go to have it ripen in time but at least I'll have 3 big Criticals and I can always make hash or cookies with the Haze if it doesn't fully mature.

Phew, long day. Including an earlier-than-expected visit to the site after pretty strong winds the last two days. Nothing like the hurricane in the Carolinas or the tornado that touched down not far from here, but peaking around 70kph so I was concerned. Anyway, all was well - no overturned plants and just a few small branches damaged by bigger branches. But clearly 10 gallon root pouches are not adequate. The plants are yellowing still and bud production will be affected. I gave them 15-30-15 non-organic fertilizer this time to see them through till harvest.
The sickly Critical from last time got cut though. It looked like it was getting worse and there's a fair bit of decent bud on it I didn't want to lose. Here's the before and after for it:
Besides harvesting one plant and fertilizing the others. I added a few more strings, spread more slug bait and pulled off lots more yellow leaves. On arrival:
On departure:
I'll post a few bud shots soon.

You won't miss growing in the swamp...
but you'll have to re-learn how to grow NOT in a swamp!
Nah, you'll have no problems with that.
You will be able to just go out back and visit them whenever you like, and water when they need it, etc.
Too bad you can't dig a shallow ground well and sink tubes into it in your backyard hahaha
Actually we have a little pond in the backyard with a huge pussy willow growing on the edge of it. Maybe that's where the ganja trees should go!
As promised, here are a few bud shots. They're filling out nicely but the Critical wants at least a week more and the Bangi Haze probably three weeks or so. Here's a nice branch of Bangi Haze in it's happy little swamp home:
and a closer look at the bud:
Here's a mix of Bangi Haze and Critical buds. Sorry, I forgot to note which was which.

More buds. This one is Bangi Haze. It's starting to show some nice colour in the leaves. Nice to see something other than yellow!
Might be Critical? Not sure.
The Bangi Haze seems to be tolerating the nutrient deficiency better than the Critical but that could be because they aren't as far into flowering. Here's one Bangi Haze:
and the other:
The Criticals are definitely further along:
My plan now is to harvest the other two Criticals early in October and, if the weather holds, bring the Bangi Haze home on October 17 - legalization day here in Canada.

Good news. That sickly Critical + 2.0 I brought home trimmed out at 136 grams (4.86 oz) - and it smokes really nice. Very much like last year's crop, maybe a bit racier because it's so fresh and was taken at least a week early.
If that sick plant gave me over a quarter lb. taken early, I'm hopeful I'll still average a half lb. on the remaining four plants. Of course, I'll never count anything till it's safely home. I'm pretty thankful for what I have already.

Right on Two Heads! Great grow this year, best vibes on the remaining plants out there!
Your grow always inspired me, especially when I used to grow on the swamp!
Cant wait to see the other gals finishing up for ya!
PEace!

Cheers Buddah Watcha, thanks for dropping in.
The weather has been pretty poor but yesterday was quite nice so I went out to check on the garden. As I guessed, the Critical + 2.0 was ready. I planned to harvest both the remaining plants but there was simply too much to fit in my backpack - a nice problem to have. One of the Criticals had tipped a bit with its weight and the wind and a few buds had molded where they touched the surrounding bushes. So I harvested that entire plant. I only had to toss a tiny bit of molded bud but if I had let it go much longer it certainly would have spread.
The second Critical was bigger and I saw there was no way I could get both home so I simply chopped the top half and I'll return early next week to get the rest.
The fertilizer has made a difference. Everything looks a lot healthier and there were hardly any new yellow leaves. On entry to the garden:
Bangi Haze #1. They still aren't ready but I took a couple of small branches from this because I'm very curious to try it.
Bangi Haze #2

That's it for now. I'll be back next week to get the bottom half of that Critical. Depending on how the Bangi Haze sample smokes, I may take some tops from them as well.
Here's what I managed to fit in my 36 litre backpack. I felt bad, treating these beauties like Jamaican brick weed but I made sure to get them unpacked and hung as soon as I got home.
Here are the two Bangi Haze when I left last night, pretty much all that's left:
I took a couple of interesting photos while I was on the site. First a small plane went over so, as always, I ducked into the bush. Looking up through one of the plants, I thought this was an unique perspective:
Finally, just before I left, geese were flying over, preparing to migrate. I got a shot of them with my plants in the foreground and the evening sky behind. They're small, in the bottom right corner. Ain't I artsy?!

Nice shots two heads! I like that canadian geese shot! Glad to see the garden is doing well! Those critical 2.0 flowers have a lot of trichomes! Happy harvest! Grass seed bags work well to bring home for early picking.
Looks like the sun is running out there. October 17, you can make it! That will be a great day! Wow! Congratulations!

Back to the garden on October 9 for a third harvest. I took the rest of the last Critical plant and, realizing I wouldn't be able to bring home both Bangi Haze on the next visit, I took several top branches from each of them as well. They are looking pretty close to being ready.
Here are the two Bangi Haze before getting their hair cuts:
And here's the bottom half of the last Critical before it got chopped and bagged:
The buds on it look ready.

Here's how the Bangi Haze buds looked on October 9. It won't hurt for them to get another 8 days but I don't think it was ridiculously early to take the branches I took. These buds look pretty sweet and the small sample I tried from October 5 has a strong, energetic high I love.
Some beefy Bangi Haze branches against the swamp background. I think I'll miss this place.

Well done, another successful swamp grow.
Glad to see the Bangi finish for you, I tried it up North and it didn't stand a chance with an early freeze.
Peace GG

Nice to hear from you gorilla ganja. Happy Legalization Day to you and all my fellow Canadians! Hopefully next season, you are able to grow indoors or in a greenhouse. I guess the question is, will we 'gorillas' miss being 'guerilla'?
I'm sparking up a BIG bowl of Bangi Haze and Critical + 2.0 mixed together and then heading out on my mountain bike to bring in the last of this year's harvest. What a wonderful day, even if it has rained, snowed and hailed in the last few hours! We're free!
