Rooftop Greenhouse Grow Amsterdam

Hi RIU,

It's been about an eon since I started a new post/journal, so here goes.

Last year I ran a few outdoors in my greenhouse with reasonable success. My issue being that my wife and I bought the greenhouse for vegetable growing, and I promised not to fill it up with Cannabis....well that didn't last long.

I think most in the colder Northern hemisphere will agree that last years summer was crap. We got absolutely rained out for most of it. Although the temps were still hot which just caused so many issues. It is also fairly windy here so the plants took a proper hammerring until one day I decided I had had enough of the bloody tomatoe plants and pumpkins, so they got shifted and the Girls moved into the greenhouse.

So these two ladies are from seed (they should be fem as I made them myself). They come from some Headbands that I ran a few years back. I also ran these Headbands last year. Although they have a tendency to herm, they seem to love growing outdoors. I'll post some of last years results in the next post.

The start in May:



Topped:



Outdoor enjoying some sun: One is in a 40litre pot (circa 8 gallon I guess), the other in a 20 litre (circa 4-5 gallons)


LST:



Progress after LST:


I have a friendly pigeon that comes for Breakfast every morning, much to the displeasure of wife who loves how he craps on out terrace, lol.....he's called Fattyboomsticks!


I have had to move them into the greenhouse over the last week due to constant rain here. This is them yesterday:




These are grown in my own compost, with some Korrel Kalk (calcium basically), mycorrhizae and dried organic conniffer nutrients, (basically for plants that stay green). Watered with rain water or tap water when my water tank is empty.

I will try to provide a weekly update on the progress. Praying for a nice July/August to get these ladies going.

Peace,

DST

Subbed for this matey lovely lookin ladies... No chance of an outdoor here,well not anymore we get about 2 weeks of sunshine a yr and that isnt consecutive days lol

They look awesome mate, nice greenhouse 2 subbed!

Im here d smashin it so far i see !!

Hey Gents, thanks for stopping by. And PB, when September hits the colours really start coming out. The HB have a good amount of indica as you can see and provide some really nice colouring indeed. More of a leaf thing than within the flower.
Scotia, last year we had all our sun in Spring, then about 2 weeks of solid sun in September (which was an absolute saviour) The girls exploded in those two weeks and gave me some real nice smoke in the end. The greenhouse is a must as the constant rain here just batters the poor ladies and they end up not doing much in the way of flower development.

Well they will start flowering properly in August, we just get so much up this side of the Northern Hemisphere it seems to add that extra few weeks. I could cover them up and force flower....I have thought about that but not sure.
