Feels like this year my cannabis grows are just not going in the direction I wanted them to. Two more plants were confirmed males. So now I am down to one female plant for my outdoor grow. I would like to have four, but it is what it is. I still have a bunch of “normal” seeds, meaning they have a 50/50 chance of being a male or female. But eventually I want to phase out of using those and only stick to feminized seeds. Those are designed to only be females, which saves me the trouble of growing a plant half way through its life just to find out its something I do not want.
Not sure which strain this is, but glad to see one ended up being female from the bunch. And its doing quite well. I have been giving it a dry fertilizer, as we have been getting quite the steady rains. So using the dry type helps me not over water them when giving them their food. From the looks of the plant I would say they like it.
Since my female plant will start flowering soon due to the changes in the season. I pulled up those two male plants. I do not want more seeds, unless they are feminized.
Well I hope this girl does not get too lonely out here by herself.
It is well protected from predators and I keep the weeds away from my weed plant.. lol I go out there with the weed whacker every few weeks and get rid of what is growing next to them. I also use wood chips around them to block the weeds and to keep the moisture locked inside the soil on those hot summer days.
It should start showing its flowers soon, this is around the time of year they start to produce and males happen to start first. So this one should be a female.
Well we shall see how much cannabis a single plant produces in a few months. Hope no floods come through and rot my buds this year. I topped this plant earlier in the season, so it probably will not get super tall. But I expect it to bush out quite a bit.
It has all the space to grow if it wants, but depending on the strain hard to say how big it will get. Not knowing if its a sativa or indica its hard to say for sure. Its leave look pretty long and slim, so it probably leans sativa. Which means it should get quite large.
Well even though this grow is not turning out how I wanted, I am not without bud. My Frosted Skywalker is curing now.
And I still have a lot from my four plants during the last indoor grow. It should last me until that outdoor plant is all harvested, dried and hopefully cured.
So no worries, life is good and I will make due with this one plant coming up. In a few months it will be start indoor growing. But for now I will keep an eye on this plant and wish for the best..
I have high hopes.
