If yer growing next to a fence topping is preferable,
its called 'supercropping' i think, there was a thread where this guy did an experiment on it and it didn't seem to produce any different results
Still early in the season, top em for sure man. You wont see flowers till late January most likely, clones usually show pre flowers while vegging.
Sweet thats good then, they look real good considering the weather. Yeah same old up here, cool mornings and hot when the sun comes out. Windy as fuck at the moment too. Spring didn't really come late this year up here, it just came and never left lol. UV is 9.5+ around here so the plants still grow good enough even when it's shitty. At least I don't have to visit them with the rain.All the yellowing had gone now that theyre int the ground you were rightProbably was a PH issue or something that I can address one day but for now Im happy they're just in the ground and alive/healthy. Yeah weather wise its been petty shitish down here to to be honest haha Its been typical spring weather dwon here, cloudy then sunny then raining then sunny. Spring came late this year so Im hoping that maybe the season will have a stella finish but who knows itl pick up eventually.
Sweet as Ill keep an eye on her I just brewed up a potent mix of guano. Yea I made just a mix up but Im think of making a concentrate. Let us know how your new nutes work out and whether theirs a difference. Wack spring weather, could be better down here i reckon but itl pick up.
Yeah mate I went up to my plants mid last week but my computers been screwed so I haven't been able to update but I can now so Ill post some images below. They look algood except they're very stretchered due to the cloudy and wet spring days/ tones of bush is going crazy because of the spring weather that I didn't expect so Ill have to cut that right back next week. The panama is insanely stretched lol One of the Panama go munched on by a rabbit, luckily it was the one I was gonna top anyway. Its almost like the rabbit new coz it was a perfect topping lol So Im probably going to put some blood meal around my grow area next week to deter the rabbits because they hate the smell and if that doesn't work then Im gonna get some chicken wire fence. Its just hard because I dont have a car at the moment/time because of work and it looks dodgy carrying around fence. Other then that so far so good
Lucky you get to grow in a greenhouse!, You could grow landrace sativas easily in greenhouses.
Typical spring weather wont piss of haha Things should pick up pretty well in the next month or so id say and yeah man windy as fuck.
Smells like mango, citrus, carrot and quite hard to describe. Its at about 8 and a half weeks, these pictures were taken a few days ago.
Been real hot this week aye, sunday till today has been hot with the temps being around 24-26 with high humidity; some nights have been so hot that I couldn't get to sleep. Couldn't have asked for a better first month for my plants. Yeah not keen on leaving tracks too but I've entered my patch from different angles every time now and there's no obvious footprints. Hopefully the rabbits will fuck off lol, still not as dangerous as possums or wallabies - those assholes will destroy a crop or more in days. Same with my patch, all the grass has almost submerged my plants and made them very hard to spot, spotter planes and choppers would have a hard time spotting them. Your topped Panama will be a beast, if the season is good enough it'll easily yield a pound with the nutes your feeding it.Typical spring weather wont piss of haha Things should pick up pretty well in the next month or so id say and yeah man windy as fuck.
Thats good that even on cloudy days you can get some decent growth I went up to my plants and they're starting to take of a bit more now and the stretch has slowed right down. Like you, I wont be going up for awhile because I don't wanna leave tracks and been seen etc. No more rabbit damage thankfully and I sprinkled some blood and bone around the area to keep the rabbits away for now, they hate the smell and itl be nice if the flattened grass etc grows from the blood and bone to make the area a little more stealthy around my plants. I also cleared some bush back so they should get lots of sun now especially the up topped panama, its gonna be a monster
Netting sounds good actually and I could make something up. Were do you reckon I could get some? Yea massive node spacing on the Panama lol The topped plant is taking of from the bottom shoots now, I defiantly have two different phenos one has very typical slim sativa leaves and the other one has slim but slightly wider sativa leaves. I havent burnt my backyard plant with the guano yet but keeping in mind I haven't monitored my ph or anything so I dunno how much of the actual nutrient solution has been taken up but its great stuff man.
Yeah Im thinking it might be a slightly more deep chunck pheno but not 100% sure yet you can defiantly see the Panama in it but seem to be more Deep Chuck so far
Im thinking my backyard plant might still go through till 9 and possibly 10 weeks. Its still pushing out white hairs and starting to foxtail a bit now lol Updates soon
Contrarily the stem actually swells and bulges which I think is counterintuitive but It appears not only to have bulged but it looks like it's increased its ability to uptake water and nutrients.
Yea man its warming up really nicely, sounds like its been good up your way. I think it was 27 - 28 in Napier earlier last week its been pretty decent here as well got a few 24 - 25's but piss all rain, all the vege garden has gone crazy with the sun though. Yeah i try enter on different paths each time aswell its life or death and the small things count with growing I guessBeen real hot this week aye, sunday till today has been hot with the temps being around 24-26 with high humidity; some nights have been so hot that I couldn't get to sleep.

Not too sure bro, never done it myself but have heard of old school growers doing it by using trees or big stakes to tie the netting round with string. Yeah the wider sharp leaf Panama should be the green one, fan leaves grow absolutely huge. Sweet sounds good man, I don't keep an eye on ph or ppm with outdoor guerilla, as long as it looks green and healthy it's all good.
Hard to tell at the early stages aye, sometimes you think a plant is indica dominant until it hits flower and then it turns full on sativa.
I'm keen to grow out a pure DC in the next couple years, apparently it's a low-medium yielding devasting hash plant with tight hard purple buds. Shit we need to be the leading group of people when it turns medical in NZ, especially with the genetics we're growing.
Your plant looks real good bro, will grow those seeds out one day fro sure
Oh yeah and the indoor Cotton Candy plant yielded 156 grams! it was a seed mother not even under full light. Great yield, can only imagine the potential outside.
You noticed the grasses n stuff go crazy to? Shit yeah my un toped Panama is gonna be a monster lol Hmm might have a look around for that netting and try and suss something out. Ill have an update on the girls next week they should be looking brilliant now. Hell yours have gone nuts they're gonna be big fuckers. Are theyt sativa or indica dom or at least what do you think? I wanna grow pure DC out aswell it looks like it has a shit load of resin. If it ever gets legalized we have to start something up hahah I would love to breed for a living id be happy to go to work ever single day. Wow nice yeilds on the CC that's awesome how does it smoke? Been through all you Malawi yet?
