I had to supercrop the Sinai cross as it was getting taller than I wanted. I did it yesterday morning. It didn't skip a beat. When I grew the Sinai for a seed run and crossing I just used small plants so I never had the opportunity to see a larger plant. It looks like this cross is going to be pretty branchy. Not really what I want for the way I grow outside. I was hoping the plant structure would be more like the Pakistani Chitral Kush/DurbanI crossed it with but that's not the case.
Here they are after the supercrop. I only did the 4 main tops. The plant on the right in the background is a revegged Durban Poison male I'm playing with. It's still in a 1.75 liter container of coco. Needs to be watered multiple times a day. Since I have it I'm going to cut a few branches when the pollen is about to drop and chuck it. I'll take the rest of the plant and fly it like a flag from the car and drive around releasing pollen in the neighborhood. People will love me as I seed their weed.
I'm sure at least half the people around have plants in their yard.

I've got the same thing going on with a Pistachio that I'm growing, it's the farthest along of any of my plants and popping buds everywhere just like yours is.

Another weird pheno of a Blueberry Muffin. None of my other BM have done this. It gets 8-9 hours of direct sunlight a day and it’s stretched and grown like it’s sun starved. The internode
spacing is ridiculous! It’s between 10-11’ tall and 4-5 feet wide. It looks like I’ve never topped it! The first two pics are the BM I’m talking about. The 3rd is a cutting from that plant I took in May and the 4th is what all my other BM look like .

Girls are looking good, very little pest, etc. High PDX heat with some moist nights have me thinking forward and to a potential late(r) harvest that has caused issues in the past... which has me considering a tarp/light dep, which got me thinking that if I don't go that route - how much light can they stand in flower? Unfortunately this last year we've turned to keeping an incandescent light string in the yard on all night due to the criminal aspects of living in the city (nearest 15w bulb 30 ft away), so how much do I need to block to keep them happy? Is that enough ambient light to keep them from flower? My indoor buddies have always been so diligent in a total blackout I wonder if I need to tarp to help them along.
Thanks for any input.

My experience has been that it's more about consistency. We had a streetlight I'd say was less than 50 feet from the grow, was directly on them like a full moon in the desert. But since it was always there, from the time they started to the time they finished, it never impacted my grows in any way I could identify.
As far as light dep goes, I have (I think its) a 20x50 roll of unused black/white 6mil light dep plastic that you can have for free. Bought it a few years back and then went a different route and never used it. We need to clean out the shed. If you haven't bought any yet...

You can read newspaper by the flower=too much light.

Kinda figures, as moon glow, etc. would seem to be more intense.
Thanks for that, and the offer of plastic - but I stocked some already unused from years past. Cheers

My one lonely 9#Hammer plant is finally showing some preflowers- it's quite stretchy, about 7' tall in it's 15gal pot
It seems a bit underfed, so I'm stepping up my feedings to 2/day
My nutrient mixture (NFTG) is as follows:
2tsp. "Medusa's Magic"
1Tbs. "Gaia Mania"
1Tbs. "Herculean Harvest" (liquid bone meal)
3/4tsp. "Olympus Up" (liquid lime for pH adjustment to 6.3)
I'll try to post a pic later

I had the same thing happen to my plant but I caused it myself! After transplant to main pot outdoors I figured I’d tie it down . It had been topped like 3 weeks prior so I wasnt paying attention and it split right where yours did , lesson learned.plant is huge now no problem lol

Plants are starting to show some color, and buds starting to bulk up! 
We were down to 48 yesterday morning, 46 this morning getting up into the upper 80’s and mid 90’s this weekend, but the nights are really cooling off! I love September! That Blueberry Muffin in the back at the corner of my garage is 13’ tall!

A few lessons were learned this summer. A bagged soil like Black Gold needs more than just cannabis JLF to sustain the plant through its entire growth. One of the problems is that I don't know the nutrient breakdown of what's actually in the JLF so I was flying blind.
The yellowing seems to have stabilized since I started feeding more than the JLF. It didn't stop but it definitely slowed down. I'm anticipating some pretty yellow leaves at harvest. But the flowers seem to be filling out nicely. It's hard to catch up once you get behind but I didn't want to go too drastic and then overfeed so I went pretty mild with adding the nitrogen they needed. Not my finest grow but I should get some decent bud. No bugs, PM, or mold so far. I've been pretty active with preventative spraying. I was concerned that some of the stuff I was spraying might damage the leaves during all the heat we've been having but so far so good.
This is the Sinai/Durbistan cross and I thought it would be a faster finisher than the Durbistan IBL but that doesn't seem to be the case. My plan was to do some more topping/training but I never did and these ended up much taller than I would have liked.
The Durbistan IBL. It's frosting up nicely and looks like it will be a fairly early finisher. They're really starting to smell.
I did some preemptive support of the stems as I've had plants split down the middle in the past so I wrapped them with some electrical tape. Now I shouldn't have to worry about walking out and seeing the stem split and part of the plant laying on the ground. The tops are getting heavy. I think I'll wrap another band around about 6 inches up which I should have done to begin with.

I finally got around to taking a pic of my 9#Hammer this morning- the air is pretty smoky from a forest fire to the East
It's been flowering for ~10 days now and is starting to fill out a little although this plant is very sparsely foliated with stretchy stalks- it's ~7' tall in it's 15gal. pot and is starting to get pretty smelly

Damn wind. A friend of mine out in Beaverton called earlier almost in tears. His plants are taking a beating. Mine were acting like they were in a mosh pit and one was laying sideways on the ground so I moved them next to the house under the awning. As I was moving them a 13 ft Sunflower snapped and almost took out one of my plants. It sucks that they're missing out on the sunlight but I'm not moving them until the wind stops. It's those gust's that are the killers. The plants blow right over in the small pots I'm using.
I took this a few days ago.

So I got some pictures from my friend in Beaverton and I couldn't figure out what they were so freaked out about. A few branches got bent, things are a little of kilter, etc... Nothing worthy of an end of the world phone call. My plants were getting pretty beat up so I moved them.
Looks like the wind is done here but it did get a little sporty for a few hours.

Curious as to why you grow in pots and not in the ground?

So I can move my plants for certain company. I have friends that don't smoke and have children that come over from time to time for barbeques and such. I also don't have any desire to grow huge plants. I don't need that much weed and I don't want to deal with harvesting it.
