First Grow of the year

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good Canuck

[Canuck147]

Thanks

[Canuck147]

Seems the more leaves one cuts off - plant just grows back three more. So, light defoliating today. BlackJack here is showing nothing but pistils - her terpenes are working great - nice fruity aroma.

[AspiringBudBaron]

What do you do with cuttings? do you throw them out or do you compost? Is is safe to throw them in a worm bin?

[Canuck147]

Dry the leaves - cure em - use for bubble hash, after being ground up.

[Trichomefarmer88]

Very nice! Looking beautiful there!

[Tika]

Continuing to be beautiful...Your pics are great. So fresh...Like your plants.

[Canuck147]

Thanks Tika.

[Cannabliss]

Very nice looking plants Canuck147. Great work.

[Canuck147]

Thanks Cannabliss - just brought them back in after a few hours of sun.

[Canuck147]

Well long story short - one of the OG's grew close to five feet last year and another one did I it again - almost - I cut six inches off her three main colas ten days ago. Didn't want to and it hurt to do it - wah. Only room to bend them would have been towards the middle of the plant, and I thought that would turn into a mess fast. So it was time for the guillotine.
She has responded very well - after a few days of pouting - with lots of new growth and pistils galore. She's out in the sun in the back right now.

thats a fantastic looking plant Canuk I can tell by the shape of it its not your first Rodeo lol

[Dutchman1]

I agree with OJH, Beauties !!!

[Chowder]

Plants are really looking great. You inspired me and I took my plants outside today as well for some afternoon sun. Although I'm on the other side of the country! Lol

Beautiful plants Canuck, How old are they in this last photo?

[Canuck147]

55 days out of the soil. That's the girl I chopped off her three colas.

[Canuck147]

Just about two months out of the dirt. The OG Kush with its colas intact will need a little help standing up as she appears to be a bit wobbly and top heavy already - darn 'eh - so I tied them to a stick. The other Kush is becoming a bush. BlackJack is fattening up her buds nicely - lots of trichomes, all clear.

[Canuck147]

Day 61- April showers do bring May flowers.

[Chefbjy]

Almost didn't see it in pic 1 lol getting fat. Great pics.

[Cannabliss]

Must smell heavenly out there lol.

[Tika]

Always beautiful! What is the link "strain"??????? Love your fresh images.

[Canuck147]

Not sure I understand

[Tika]

Ha! I meant PINK strain...Those beautiful flowers. My typing sucks.🙃

[uncledoug]

Looking good, That plant is huge,I like those big purple buds. Our Lilac's are a week or so behind yours.

[oldjarhead100]

alright Cannuk how is it your lilacs have flowers when You live in Canada and I live in Ma and mine just started to flower lol. the Plants look fantastic nice big sticky kolas yum yum

[Tika]

Thanks for that oldjarhead100

[Trichomefarmer88]

Looking awesome! Beautiful!! The plant it's self looks allot like my bubba kushs without the pink an purple buds all over mines.. I usually scrog all my plants but getting ready to set up my hydro buckets in flower tent so cut my screen down.. but I harvested a agent Orange, an a bubba kush over the weekend... The ao looks the bigger one an the bubba didn't fatten up like the others have?? Maybe it got over watered I thought cuz it's in a bucket an I have always used fabric pots? Dunno but still.. can't wait to see your harvest with these girls!! Good luck

[Canuck147]

Thanks for all the great comments. Rhoddodendron or however you spell it - not lilac - although lilacs have a very nice odor.
For all those outdoor growers - put any kind of crysanthmum - let's just call them 'mums' near your cannabis plants and the mums will deter most bugs.

[oldjarhead100]

I went back and looked Don't know how I missed that flowers round lilacs are conical lol hey thats why I'm an old jar head lol.

[Canuck147]

Two days later and I'm just hanging out in the back in the sun watching buds fatten up. 29 Celsius yesterday - 27 today.
Happy growing everyone!

[oldjarhead100]

those are some great shots of your girls , when I have a plant that wont fill out I look for seed pods from some form of stress not saying thats whats going on but it could be sorry. days like yesterday make the winters bearable lol

[Canuck147]

OJH I believe the plants are filled out - buds are just doing their thing now, always thought sunshine was the best bud booster.

[oldjarhead100]

it is the best light and they are filling out just saying what i look for when I think they are not fattening up ,those buds look great

[Canuck147]

Day 66 - me thinks this is a favorite number for many car enthusiasts of North America. Trichomes are pretty much clear on the two Kush - BlackJack trichs are clouding over - at this rate the plants should be right on their 80 day timeline. So 2 more weeks or so to go - time to germinate the next round. Which will be autoflowers - that's what I'm getting used to - 'Purple Stilton' - stinky - 'Super Lemon Haze' - 1-1 THC to CBD - and an unknown seed from Buddha's - bought a 10 pack from Buddha they let you know what four of them are and they say the other six are experimental or are prototypes, but none are labelled. Happy growing this spring everyone.

[Canuck147]

Thanks guys. No sun today - good dose of carbon dioxide is what's happening today. Lots of interior space on each plant. Learned my lesson last grow - by losing a main cola due to mold.

[Trichomefarmer88]

Them buds are really starting to fatten up yeah?! Do you use any bloom boosters, or ripeners? I've been trying Kool bloom ( both liquid an powder) big bud an over drive, an also picked up some roots organic super pho bat guano for organics.. I use it in the bottom mix of soil.. an also use a little in my bloom tea! First all organic run has been doing great tho! I used my own worm compost in ten gallon plastic pot, with a handful of red works an a hand full of night crawlers.. the plant is budding great but it's really dark green! Lol I've never had a plant so dark green during flower but, really seems to work!!! Peace out an good luck!!
