Looking healthy. any specific strain?
Looks like you've been pinching the tops off. I see a lot of bud sites.
Getting a little more growth now. :rastasmoke:
sunshine mix #4 with blood/bone meal For starting few weeks of organic feed. Also used a dolomite soil conditioner to prep soil and even out PH and adics in soil. I put about 3 inchs of small gravel at bottom of each hole dug. Now feeding 20-20-20 till Aug Then will start my bloom feed. Strains are Couchlock Black Velvet Kushx some strains from friends to try outdoors and a mix from Vancouver Seed Bank. Most are female from clone and there are a few going from seed. Just pulled out 2 males today. They were about 4 feet tall allready...

Nice pix, enjoying them a great deal---as I aspire to grow that well! When you pinched, did you happen to demostrate it? I read this and think it has been shortened somewhere, but I have read so many and subscribed to few, I am screwed up! :jointsmile:
Hey I didnt take any pics of the pinch or topping i did do. But have recently done a little pics doc on "bending" And have some plants on my belcony That i can show and show how its done. CRAZY amount of bud sites by just bending and not having to "top" or "pinch" most the ones in these pics were just left and not many were topped or pinched after put em out from clone. Most are from clones I selected but have another spot with about 30 more from seed that im doing a breeding project with. I will also upload some pics of that spot.:rastasmoke: most the plants are now 3-6 feet tall theres one thats allmost 8 feet tall allready... still got 2 months of veg :P Thank god for the 25 foot bamboos around the spot :D

I remember seeing this thread when you first posted pics and was like, wow. I'm still in aw when I look at all the space and beauty of all your girls. Keep up the good work, you'll most def have a very large wonderful harvest.
man, wish i lived in Canada :postgood: :thumbsup:
Hehe thanks. All the work and effort pays off. Just goto be smart about it eh :)
here is a little pic time lapse
June 15 June 28 July 7 sorta same angle
Been watching and enjoying your hard work and grow. Plus, learning a lot--thanks!! Appreciate all the info you post, for my future outdoor grow. doubt I'll ever know enough, but I'll get a camera first, then learn how to use it and I know where to go for help!
So far, your first grow seems to be going seemless; hope to follow in that wisdom!
Yeah its all a learning experince. Can never learn it all and you can pick and choose the info you feel works best for your growing conditions... This isnt my first grow actully. I actully posted my grow last year on here also. This is my 7th outdoor and 5 have made it 1 hasnt "thiefs" hope this year turns out! never had em this big at this time of year... good season so far forsure! Every year i try something new or try a new tech Its good way to increase yield and product quality allways trying new ideas and methods.. you will learn what works best and what doesnt...
Here is some pics of my "bending" tech Works great for keeping plants short and bushy
Belcony plants :rastasmoke:

I've never seen bending, it's pretty interesting. so do you just pinch and bend the stem while it's well watered so it doesn't break and/or take your time bending in one certain point until it sticks?(stays bent)
Well with the bending I do, I like to pick branches that have got a certain size and have good nodes to pick your bend.
Also pick a hard wood branch soft wood will just snap and die. :mad:
Bend in between the nodes so they are both "exposed" they will then brach up and you can bend those also once they reach that height and "hardwood" and have the nodes you like to pick to branch up. I like to allways bend them away from the center so that the inner center branches get light then and grows up to fill in nice and bushy.
I like to hold the branch in my fingers, then bending it down kinda like fold it over your finger "dont pinch it" VERY gently till the bend makes it go "limp" let it hang from there and let good light and air movement get on the plant from there on... this will heal "thicker stem from that point" it will start to go up "towards light" the inner parts of that branch will now grow out creating more branches "bud sites".
If you do this right you can create alot more bud sites and side branching and "force" them to grow in ways you want. Works great for people growing in shorter spaces also..
Here is how I do it :rastasmoke:
Hope you understand all that haha.. I'm mighty stoned right :wtf: now..
This is so bitchin! I've read a lot of threads and it seems all feel we know bending, lst, and tying! I am an idiot that needs a good photo to get the message! Your demonstrations are rad! I have to set up a printer to record how to, until I learn! You have no clue how much help you are being! I know it is a lot of work and want you to know how much I appreciate your help-u R a gem! Keep it up and please don't drop off! :thumbsup: I need this info! Not just in growing, but stealth, etc! and how to protect in the outdoor environment.
There is so much reading to do, I may read forever before I try to wet my feet again. I think I said, I put some old bag weed seed to gro and got nothing! I know what went wrong now. Now, I will plan much better and learn through you experts in progress!
I just love looking at how to do it and how healthy you plants are! I have had gardens in the past and just get a buzz from veges (tomato) or anything growing. So, I think this will turn into a hobby, i hope to control within my legal limit. I tend to get carried away with pretty plants! Turns me on! Appreciate your sticking with us and the easy instructions! I need bush more than height, due to fear! I have received a generous dose of err of the side of caution and now am planning much better! Thanks to you and a few others! Please keep it coming, if it isn't too much time and trouble!:thumbsup:
You are quite the teacher my friend. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to answering my question. Yes that was a perfect/flawless lesson in bending. The pictures say it all, very nice tutorial. I believe it should be made a sticky for further the educating of fellow growers here.
Thank you bcgrown, you have the bending technique down pat lol. I will be sure to use this method in the future.
gmorning
Ok sweet glad it was understood.... I had hit a few and wrote that up so I wasnt sure it came out clear.
I am here to share and show grow info/pics :rastasmoke: planetganja and other sites have enough people allready anyways. :jointsmile: We need more action here.
:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: Hope everyone is having a great season so far!
I will do another update around the end of the month, untill then Keep It Green!
:hippy::rastasmoke:
Thanks a lot and please keep it coming! Hopefully, we can get a sticky on this post of bending! And this site will be better than others. AS it is the only one I have and have time for! Thanks a lot! :thumbsup:
I've stuck this for the season at least, and I'd like to copy out the bending posts to add to the FAQs if that's all right?
Thanks Stinky, this is a nice addition to my novice grow book and easy for me to find on this site! I just love this site and the helpful advice and instructions from people like bcgrown, yourself and many others! I thot it was so helpful and clear as how to and WHEN to bend! pr:thumbsup:
Yeah stinky you can copypaste it 2 the FAQ'S or however you like .
Much Thanks
I will do a update post on the outdoor very soon. Also will post more pics of the "Bending" plants on my belcony so you guy can see how much they have bushed out since last bending pics.
:rastasmoke: Enjoy the sun everyone!

A few strains have yet to start budding but will switch over once they start. :rastasmoke: There are a few plants that are about 6-8 feet tall.
:rastasmoke: Starting to clear out the lower branches so that the top colas get the juice and can produce more BUDS.
And also will attached my breeding spot pictures.. They are a kush cross "about 20 seedlings 3 female clones mixed in of a widow cross." and I got a nice 5 foot blueberry "female" in there that im gonna knock up also. Should get some nice seeds from this batch and will try em out indoor over the winter.
ENJOY!:rastasmoke:
