I'm now officially looking forward to summer and taking part in my legal 4 plants! Based on this I won't need more than 2, great googly moogly!

I always go for full sun locations and usually will do an outdoor scrog 6 feet by 6 feet and just continually spread open the plant
to allow for more light penetration. something like thisView attachment 4069223

here is an example of the tri-pods

All depends.. maybe you plant 2 and a storm takes them both out. Good luck. Just remember. Bigger Roots Bigger Fruits.

Oh hey...It's not like I need to grow it. I just enjoy doing it, so losses are losses. But I haven't thought about doing outdoors since the 90s, because (at least back then in BC) I was under the impression that getting more than a QP from an outdoor was unlikely, so I've always concentrated on indoors. Then there is the quality issue.
But just as something to have around as a compliment (and gift), it would be worth doing, especially since I already do veggies. I'll just turn the squash box into a kush box.
If I can screen it adequately, then I should be able to get a decent amount. A pound would be great from an outdoor for me, with plenty to give away.

Someone once told me fan leaves are like solar panels collecting energy. Never understood defoliation

Yes central Ontario.
Last year I had 13 plants start all by themselves from seeds that had fallen off the crop from the fall before and over wintered in the garden...of the 13 total .... 7 were males which I killed and the rest I used a bait plants this past summer.
One of my neighbours up the road or upwind at least ....must of had a male plant...because the odd bud would have 2 or 3 seeds in them...
This strain is very accustomed to our climate and will finish up end of sept to end of oct....
but will also take the frost 5 or 6 times...without much degradation

Clones of crimson crystal from joti flipped on christmas day, I defoliated 2 and part of one but that one and the other back one are a damn mess from revegging so I am not messing with them anymore.

Do you think maybe the plant just got big enough that it tried to reproduce instead of a neighbors male pollinating?
I read sometimes a bigger plant will throw out a few seeds to reproduce?

My last grow will show you, I butchered the hell out of them as well. The one pheno will look a lot like this most likely https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/20171123_220329_hdr-jpg.4047343/ and the other will be a more squat plant with much denser buds. That plant was 2.5ft tall or so and I pulled 170-180g from it iirc.

I have tried mesh which worked good on the ball shaped plants from other years that were clones...
and a greenhouse frame that my goof neighbour complained to the city about. Just because she is a total C--T but it worked great to support plants that were 9 to 14 feet high from seed plants....with a natural shape to them.

here is my goof neighbour and her drunken driving skills....what a dumb bitch....View attachment 4069274

I use compost only with no ferts added...but I have a fairly large compost pile I have been brewing for the last 20 years...
So I basically take that and hump up a pile on the ground of 4 to 6 wheelbarrows worth on top of last years bed.
