These four cannabis plants have been in the ground for almost a month now. They have had time to adjust to their surroundings and seemed quite unphased by the move. I was worried I did not get all the roots out on a couple of them so glad to see they are doing okay. One is a little smaller than the rest, maybe that is the one that lost a little bit of root coming out of the pots. But the other three are doing great.

Settling in the dirt:
Now we are in the long haul of vegging out the plants, they have already increased in size quite a bit, possibly doubling already. Since they have been topped twice they are more round than tall. But I am sure they will bush out like crazy even with this trimming they had.
Very little signs of pest damage, and the leaves are all praying up to the light wanting more.
The stems look strong, hopefully our winds have been helping to stimulate strong growth so they will support big buds come autumn.
I am really excited to see how big they get, with 6 months of grow time here I think they would be quite the plants by the end. October is around the time when they will produce flowers.
The dirt from where the holes were needs to be covered, I should come back with some wood chips and place it around the base of the plant.
They are getting their nutrients from what I placed in the soil, using a "Marine Cuisine" long release fertilizer. Also I give them liquid fertilizers once a twice a week.
I placed my hand next to the biggest of the leaves and its already as big. I wonder how much bigger the leaves can get.
Hopefully the one smaller plant catches up.
Sometimes I see insects on them, but if they are not eating them I tend to leave them alone. If I do see things like aphids or other damaging insects I have some pest management solutions ready to go.
Every day I give them a good watering, unless we get rain which does it for me. With many more months to come, including the hot summer I am sure we will see more growth from this South African strain. But we are still in the spring time and once in awhile temperatures dip.
Cold mornings:
We had a chilly morning a week or so ago, got down to 40F (4C). This worried me as these temps the cannabis plants do not like to get this cold. The most I push is around 50F in the tents during the winter while the lights are off. So I went to check on the plants in the morning and indeed they were a little droopy.
Luckily once the sun came out it quickly warmed up the leaves and they popped back up to normal.
The road to the forest
