Hello all,
First year grower here and really enjoying every step! Take a look at my girls. They are grown in 3'x3' raised garden beds on the Canadian shield germinated first week of April. Put into the ground mid May. I got a mixed bag of seeds just to make it all part of the fun to navigate which strain is which. The two 8-9 footers could be either blueberry, or nuken. The 5 ft little bush I believe is God Bud. The only sativa dominant I have is BC
Big Bud and its 6ft but having issues... As you can see I need to make some adjustments for next year on the position of my planters. I did not expect them to get this big
Where it all started.... tried two different types of topping and training. An early initial top and late initial top.
What all my work looks like now
Nuken or Blueberry
Both have been strong all year. The fat one was put in the ground two weeks before the rest as a precautionary lady.
God Bud (80% sure)
This plant started out really slow when i transplanted it but really picked up in July. It now stands 5 ft with many tops. Probably my favourite shape in the garden and is showing signs of flowering. Very excited for this girl.
BC
Big Bud (80% sure lol)
This plant has been going through some pest issues unfortunately. A couple weeks ago I check on the girls and there was a massive spider nest on one of the tops with a dock spider half the size of my hand guarding it at the bottom. Cut off the top with the nest and removed the spider from the plant. Ever since then its been having some play time with caterpillars (trying to curl in the tops) or spider mites. The majority of tops were wrapped with webbing and some had caterpillars. I hope the foliar spray I used does something before flower!
Thanks for reading everyone happy growing!
