The girls are getting bushy. I gave them their final pinches and tops. Still haven't put the trellis on, I've been extremely busy this month. I'll put it on before they start to flower. I still have a couple weeks before the stretch starts.
I was hoping some of the big tree farmers from Ohio would stop in and show us some of those 10 footers. Maybe soon.. everyone have a wonderful day and a beautiful harvest. God bless you all

How big a plant will end up really has more to do with genetics then anything else. I put some out this year i didnt realize were even capable of getting as big as they did. I have others that are half the size i expected them to be. My biggest is about 9ft tall 12ft wide. And i have another that would have been a lot bigger then her if i hadnt cut her back almost to the ground a couple times.
If you're after big plants... Looks like my 2 biggest sativas are going into flower the fastest too. Weirdly enough. Lookin like i may have some giant, sativa, *fast flowering* plants to share with you midwesterners this winter who may be interested in absolute monsters, Mendocino county style. I'll be making S1 fem seeds of all my best phenos to share with the farm fam.
For whatever reason seems like most of the phenos in the columbian cross are huge, fast flowering sativas (photo is what I've been calling my mystery sativa. Would prob be 14ft tall and even wider but I've cut her WAY back a couple times now.
Your girls look fantastic. They really do. They are gonna get a lot bigger yet too. They are gonna treat ya mighty kindly can already tell.
I planted way too close together not realizing how big they would get lmfao. Always been an indoor grower that would just throw a few clones out in June. These are all really the same age though. Standing next to highest rung on a 6ft ladder.

Looking great!! Please let me know how that Colombian smokes. It's been a while since I've smoked any pure sativa. Its been over a decade since ive even grown a sativa. I'm just too impatient. Next year I'm going to run NYC diesel though from soma. Definitely keep us updated on the garden. I'm can't wait to see how big those babies get!! Your doing a great job brother, keep it up!!!

Its half columbian. You can look at the first post in my journal for a type up of what actually went into that lineage. Currently it's an F1 too, multi generational non inbred F1. The phenos so far have been happy, chinese eyed, skunky, savory, earthy buds. No anxiety, but also no fruity or sweet profiles so far either. Most are musty and skunky. I've had one pheno of the cross be finish able in 7weeks flat in hydro indoors. Was still a heavily sativa dominant plant.
My big one out there def takes predominantly after the columbian though. I've been calling her the Columbian land race with a beer belly lmao. We ended up naming the lineage Peaceblaster because dam good reasons too lol.
It's getting really hard to find a plant like this now a days though. Shell be around for a minute, and im going to do lots of work with her as well

normally pale tissue between leaf ridges is a deficiency or too much light thing.Much appreciated
But there's this certain yelow/green fade between the ridges, and from new to old growth, when you just have a very rapidly growing and thriving plant in front of you. It's one of my favorite thing to see in a plant. All yours have it going on.
Betcha keep finding yourself just standing and staring. When i see plants that happy i cant help but stop and stare lol. It's almost as if they glow or something.

Brother you know me well. I find myself going out before bed for a nite time smoke. They are in manure, perlite, and top soil. I'm running the starter packs from Wallace organic wonder also. I feed with alaskan fish, recharge, and iguana juice once a week. All at about 1/4 strength.

Man after my own heart.
My girlies, theres been a couple micro feedings, but beyond that, i amended the soil with naturally accumulated, local flood plane loam from my own property. Local free range goat shit. As well as homemade compost. since established Ive been throwing down mostly goat shit and compost teas. Bit of Kelp. And some handfulls of pellet feed full of beneficial microlife.
This my real secret though. And you can get it for free from any land owner with goats that doesnt like shoveling their shit, which is most of them. You dont even have to compost it, just dry it, grind it, and throw it down.
Ill be tossing goat shit and good compost down there throughout winter too with this pelleted feed mixed in. It'll be in better shape to plant then it was this spring.

That's awesome!! Manure is gold!!! I live on the river so the soil is beautiful here too. 15 gallons of perlite in each hole really made a difference. I got started a little late this year. Next year I'll start them in March. Maybe February. Next season I plan on adding a pinch of guanos in the holes and only running compost teas and calmag.

My behemoth's were started from seed at the end of april, went in ground some time in may lol. I prob wont even pop seeds til may next year. But im also in tennessee mountains at high elevation growing sativas. It's basically a giant plant growth terrarium with naturally accumulate mineral rich soil everywhere you go.
If they flower fast enough ill have to gt you some S1's from my big girls lol. Ive been growing for almost 20 years and the blew me the hell away every single time i went out there and continue to do so. My big girls prob gonna yeild 2-3lbs dry alone.
Helpful hint when you plan on replanting the same patches, a light, small pumice stone, although more expensive then perlight, will do the same job, last a LOT longer, and make aerating and turning over through winter/spring even easier then perlite does. Back in KC i only had to put down pumice stone 2x in about 6 years of tossing clones in the same spot.
If you grow indoors in soil you can switch to a light pumice stone if you want too, and screen and reuse it every grow. Works great. Just pricey (only the first time you do it)
I used small volcanic pumice over perlite in my own patch in kc though, am here too. Small volcanic pumice > Volcanic glass, all day every day imho. Can increase aeration without diminishing water retention much if any in ground. I do prefer perlite indoors though. Transplanting is a lot easier with perlite then pumice even though i think the plants prefer the pumice.

Outdoors, ill put down a couple hundred bucks of this stuff. And probably wont think twice about aeration for a few seasons in that spot. Ill just go back over and loosen it up with the aerator in spring after amending through winter and call it ready to plant.
I love this stuff. I started using it because im a cactus collector, and because perlite sucks in most cases in comparison, gives you silicosis with it's dust over time, and it's a non renewable resource that you cant effectively reuse.. Theres very few places you can harvest volcanic impact glass (perlite), it has to be further processed after mining, and our only ways of making it synthetically involve nuclear warheads. Pumice is expensive because its a bitch to work in the conditions where it is harvested. But it's being generated constantly all over the world.
Highly porous stone gravels and volcanic pumice is what naturally aerates the mountain soil a lot of these plants evolved in throughout South East and central Asia too.

Your autos got bud rot? Were they in the ground or in pots? I'm in Southeast Michigan.
I'm really nervous about now 'cause mine are within 1-2 weeks done and the weather forcast is scattered thundershowers Monday through Thursday this week. I'm thinkin of putting them all in the garage tomorrow. Course, all we have is LED shop lights on the ceiling so I don't know how that will work out.

In ground I started them early but we had a heavy dew almost every morning and with overcast days they never dried out ...was sad this is about a week before it started rotting

Thanks, it's called CBD Purple. Small but pretty, could grow one in the flower bed. LOL
Yours was sooo pretty and almost done! We've had lots of dew every morning but thankfully the sun comes out and dries it all off.
I've been spraying my photos in the back after every rain, but I haven't sprayed the autos once they started full on flowering.
Found a small bud with rot this morning but it may have started with insect damage. (had that happen before)
Your Stoned Panda looks great! But if you don't top it, I see a ladder in your future.
