Being that weed is now legal in Canada, I have finally been able to plan a grow in my back yard. There are some laws I have to abide by, for one there is a height restriction of 4 ft, making growing a monster difficult if not impossible.

To get around this I have L.S.T'd the clones and I have chosen to scrog the plants. The initial nets will be 5x15 which will cover two plants, then it will be a 15x20' net come flowering.

I picked four 65gal smart pots, with a homemade a mix of; promix, compost, perlite, vermiculite, coco fiber, cow manure, goat manure, and mineral dust, which have been cooking for a month in the pots.

The strains I have are Shishkaberry, and a personal strain I call grape jam. grape jam is a Jamaican Sativa hybrid that was purple. I managed to take clones from it and these two will be second generation clones from last years plant. Here is a photo from my veg tent, and also from the Grape jam plant that I took clones from.View attachment 4331307 View attachment 4331319

What province are you located? I know in b.c. they took that restriction away for height. I still have to keep them under 10 feet though.lol20190628_074304.jpg

Thank you sun!

Its finally warm, and the plants are loving it. I have so far hit the plants with a compost tea and spread a full dose of Gaia green. I also keep an eye on them and trim excess fan leaves ad bottom. I don't know when to stop training them. never worked scrog outside before but I'm loving the results so far.

Ever consider a mulch layer on those pots? That will reduce your water needs and increase over all plant health

I have thought of that, but would that interfere with top dressing them? And i plan on going to a cover crop next year.

Picked up some colloidal silver spray, and have 8 clones rooting... hoping to try for a seed plot at an inlaws...

Also picked up a trim bin... excited to see the improvement in trichome collection from trimming.

So this weekend I applied a major top dressing. Each pot got two bags of black soil, 3 cups of azomite, 4 cups of gaia bloom, 1 cup of bat guano, 2 tbsp raw bloom microbials.

I used the black earth to mix the tip dressing and give the roots more space. Once mixed I watered with a heavy bloom compost tea. The next morning I gave the pots a heavy soaking of water.

This morning I woke up to see a slight mold on top of each pot which should mean the soil is alive and happy...
