Some look a little dry. Other than that they look good.

Hi FresnoFarmer :)

Yes, though I think some of the drooping is due to stress from being transplanted. They had previously been in veg, under a 600watt Mh for a few months and it was sometimes difficult to maintain proper heat & humidity levels. They are now coming back and looking better. :)

Oh ok. Makes sense. Once they bounce back they're gonna be huge :weed:

There are a few of these plants that I grew in veg that were 48in to 52 in when transplanted and were beginning to show sign of stress and dehydration due to limited space indoors. Just made it to the wire I think. Now, they are all in my organic garden, I'm about to begin using teas made from worm castings as well as another tea made from stinging nettles.

Nice! Nettle is a great bio-accumulator. The gals should be loving that.

Quebec eh? My family is in Alberta, but I've spent some time there. Quebec city (during St Jean Baptiste days) and Montreal. Wonderful strip bars there! ;-)

If you don't mind me asking, where did you grab your Romulan from? I was planning to get some this season from Federation but apparently they've gone under.

Hi, I got the seeds from a breeder friend of mine ' Barefrog ' and it's an F2 of the Romulan by Federation. I have two of them in the garden and hoping for the best. :)

Well then you've lucked out. I'd keep one around just for genetics purposes.

I also have an interesting one in the garden, it's a cross of Nebula+Juan+Big ... also from same breeder, waiting to discover it's qualities. I have a couple more seeds of the Romulan for next year. :)

Hi Happygirl, :)

It's mostly all going to become oil, and edible material, though I will certainly reserve some choices buds for my vaping needs. Have to go in garden today, after three days of pouring rain, to make sure there's no major damage to plants ( I don't think so, just being safe ). :D

I don't understand why is there too much space between these plants !!! ?

Hi chairroller :)

In part to better walk between them, but more seriously, because I like to make sure each plant has the maximum amount of free space to expand it's root system, besides, I do need to allow for air circulation in such a garden. What seems like a lot of empty space will eventually fill in quite a bit. I expect plants that were already 2-3 feet across and 4 feet in height in veg, to double in size, and then some, so space is very important for their expansion. I give each plant a 6 foot diameter circle in which to grow, and leave another 3 feet between each one + -. Makes it much easier to trim and clean around plants as well. Hope this answers your question. :)

Here is why I give my plants plenty of room to grow. The first image is of one of my Headband 818's, this one measures some 4 and a half feet in height and close to 3 feet in diameter, and this is still in veg, what will it become as it grows, even in flower.

Headband 818, one of my all time faves.

Took pics this afternoon after we placed some fencing and make do pickets and cord in order to protect the plants from having their branches broken by high winds. They are beginning to look much better. :)

Update on the garden.

Last week, we lost 10 plants to shock, they turned male and I had to remove them before they could do the same to any of the others. Two of those plants were already over 5 feet tall, so a big loss.

Since then, all the other plants seem to be doing great, no more signs of males. I didn't lose any of my Headband 818's which is wonderful.

Here are some pics taken this morning:

Durban Poison + U.K. Cheese cross, name Appalache by locals here. About 3 feet tall and easily as wide. Will finish by end of september.

Big Kiwi, over 5 feet in height, also an early finisher, hoping to see this one become a monster. :D

Headband 818, over 4 feet tall and 4 in diameter, this one is the mother plant and I also have many clones taken from it plated in the garden and they are also doing fine. Should finish by end of september as well.
