Another hail storm just went through, she was covered this time though and did well. She is getting big and starting to stink though. Which normally wouldnt be bad but security issues. You can smell it somedays from my deck, which is 20-30 feet away from it. Its really stinky. If I didnt tie her down she would be close to 6 feet now! It would have been cool to see what she looks like if I didnt tie her down and just grew her straight up. I bet she gets more light this way though. Ill take new pics when I feed with my compost tea in a few days.

Oh and approx. 6.1 weeks till first frost. Im going to start building a big box out of some kind of material that can hold heat well that I can put on my girl at night when its close to first frost, so I can try to extend the season a few more days.

nice job, that is a monster of a plant.
and with the tea, you want to add the mollassas right before u use it. i tried to store water mixed mollassas for a couple days in a gallon container and it smelt like shit,with stuff floating around in it, i think it was molding or something.

This mourning it was feeding time. She was still wet from the rain 2 days ago but my tea was done brewing, and I didnt want to waste it. So I just fed about a 1/4 of the tea right at the base of the plant so she gets some nutrients. Then dumped the rest of the tea into my new compost pile which will be used in the years to come.

5.5 weeks till first frost. I have a box built that doesnt have 2 sides and a bottom. It fits right over the plant. Ive been using this when it storms out to protect her. When first frost is coming, before it is night I will give her a light watering, fill pales up with boiling water and put caps on them and set them around the plant, put the box over top, and throw some blankets over top. In the mourning just as the sun is rising, I will take the blankets off, then move the pales of water. And hopefully I can extend the season a bit that way.

When it gets cold, go with your tent/hot water idea. Just remember that it will probably turn into a daily thing. Leave her out as long as you can without frost destroying it. A lot of different plants don't fully finish up here in Canada before the weather gets the best of them. You should be able to get some type of bud by the time you have to chop.

Damnit I should have forced flowered when she was younger, or got a autoflowering strain. This is my first grow though, and I will learn from it. I would be happy with a small amount of buds from this plant, I hope I can atleast get that.

Ill also have no problem putting the tent/hotwater on every night if I have to. It would be nice to extend the season atleast 2 more weeks. I dunno how cold it gets after first frost though. We will see. Ill keep pumping her up with nutrients.

You guys think ill get any sort of harvest come time. Even a bit to smoke out of my bong would be nice.

of course you can still smoke under developed buds, you'll get high. you won't get the yeild or the potency, i live in the tropics, i can grow year round, that frost is killer!

I think you can probably pull off the two weeks, maybe even more if the weather holds up. I lived in Sask for 4 years, and even after first frost it would still stay fairly mild throughout the days. I don't know how far you could go into October. That seemed to be when it stayed cold and dreary during the day most of the time.

I think ill build a green house type thing out of PVC pipe and some kind of sheet around it. I wouldnt have to keep it on during the day though right? As long as it isnt cold. Im going to build it quick, its getting cold at nights. If I could extend the season atleast 2 more weeks, I will make 7 weeks more growing time, which would be nice.

get yourself some 6m polythylene, keeps heat in and lets sunlight through it.
