Don't suppose you have to worry about that, huh? Yep. I'll look on Craigslist now for a glass table.

I never did top her, just LST'd her around the pot inside. Now I'm afraid to leave her ouside as the weather is changing; supposed to get into the 30s tonight and then sunny all this coming week. Hopefully she'll keep growing and I'll cover her tonight, but I'm running out of my growing season pretty quickly and I don't want to screw up now.

Had some visitors this morning with the cooler temps and they are looking for somewhere to nest, I think. NOT gonna be in my basket.

It looks like your basket filled up!

I'd cover it every evening until a frost damages it, then harvest

OR

wait for the trichomes to begin turning amber.

Don't be in too much of a hurry. You'll be glad you waited.

Any good close ups of the buds?

Thanks VG. Soon as it gets dark I'll cover her with a small blanket. Nope, I won't be in a hurry, still have to buy MMJ for now anyhow and I want this grow to be as big a harvest as can be. I got a couple pictures of all the newly exposed budding sites since she dropped her drawers today. I lowered the basket back down almost even with the pot she's in. My camera is old, but the pics aren't too bad.

Thanks man. Getting a little less stealthy now, but I feel she'll stay unnoticed. Kids are back in school; can't wait till harvest.

Just so you know, the plant prepares each node for budding well before flowers actually appear.

Your plant will do well, but if all those small nodes had gotten more light, they'd be far denser.

Cannabis is wonderfully versitile, but the bottom line is, Lumens + area = BUDS.

Get a bigger basket, for next year.

Maybe something you'd hang under a balloon?

You've done a great job under limiting conditions.

Its not how big your plants are, or your garden is. It is how much you care that matters.

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, as I've exposed more I see this could have been a lot denser, but the amount I learned will never be wasted. And if I had gone less stealthy, it would never have happened at all. So thanks for all of the tips.

Thought it was time to change my avatar and put some more pics up. I'm so excited that I kinda went nuts with my camera. My deck is just deep enough to make this last adjustment for the remainder of my growing season. She's getting all the sun possible. Yep, that first one is frost.

I check the view daily from all aspects and have hanging plants, etc. No neighbor problem either in a very quiet bedroom community. Thanks for caring.

I have found that as long as you do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself you can hide many things in plain sight of most people.

There's an art to hiding things in plain sight.

You've seen my garden.

Most years, even the nine footers are screened from my neighbor's view, unless they are standing on their roof.

Much of that screening is done with vertical gardening. Training pole beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on 7' remesh works wonderfully. Shrubs, trees and trellises work, as well.

This is much more stealthy than building a 16 foot block wall around your property.

With prop 215, I've become a little less paranoid. My neighbors are aware of my garden, so I don't worry about them. Both are in their 70's and know I know they know.

One neighbor is very helpful, providing me with all his grass clippings, which I use for mulch and compost.

I only have a couple more sunny days to grow before it gets in the lower 30's at night. Think I'll just keep covering her at dark and may have to wait a little longer till it warms up each morning to uncover. Okay I got a question. Since she is in 100% MG Soil, I know I can't do much of any flushing, but should I just start misting her daily and not water the pot which add nutrients each time?
