Looks like veging in a greenhouse or tent prior to putting them out to finish outdoors is the way to go. I am going to give it a go like this next year. Garden is going to really look good once all those plants fill in, gonna be huuuuuuge!

Yes, but do not do what I did. When time came to transplant everything outdoors, I did just that, without hardening them off first. which resulted in ten of them turning male. Two of those that turned measured more than 5 feet tall. Good news is that all the others survived the transplant shock. I started some of those plants as early as last december.

Your ladies look very happy
If it were my garden I would remove lower sucker branches, but to each their own.
Keep up the good work

AMAZING LOOKING GARDEN, FIRST PICS. SHOWED A LOT OF SPACE BETWEEN, WE NEVER KNOW JUST HOW BIG THEY WILL GET SO SPACING WORKED OUT GOOD FOR YOU ??

And still, I should have given them even more space in between. That row along the fence has little to no room between each plant and I have to get down on my knees to go cut out sucker branches and such to help create better air flow. I will know better for next years planting. One plant is closing in on eight feet tall and many of them are at least 5+ feet and all quite wide.

I tried some different things this year, mainly a good soil mix, ( subcool's ) and didn't know what to expect, so I became over crowded,( not necessarily a bad thing ) rather have big over crowded than small under producing, but as said lessons learnedAnd still, I should have given them even more space in between.

I have read other posts mentioning Subcool, will have to check this out. This year, besides already having a very rich soil, I added a lot of goodies into each individual hole ( Worm casting compost, shrimp compost, blood meal, bone meal, guano, perlite and vermicultie, Promix ). Other than that, it's been about making sure they were well watered and I would give them organic teas. All throughout the growing, I have been putting down hay to minimise the invasion of weeds, and this in turn will also slowly decompose and add nitrogen ... the rest is plenty of sunshine, rain and wind.
Next season, I'm thinking about planting less but creating bigger and richer holes, giving them way more space and see what comes of it.
