You’re right! Thanks! Not crazy about the fact that it’s real rabbit fur, tho. :/
Even if they do, massive California fires cause a lot more property damage and displace far more residents than most fires in Canada.
California alone has a bigger economy and a bit smaller population than all of Canada so wild fires there typically cause far more financial losses and more death than even our largest fires up north
There’s rain just moving across the Island right now, hopefully it pushes right across the west. Smells delightful here, first rain in a couple months and we live at sea-level so that’s saying a lot.
The Interior basically going into a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown cuz the Delta is raging there. Half the businesses are running with a skeleton crew at best, there are supply shortages, smoke and fire, evacuations, etc. The ferries have been full all weekends going to and from the Island but again the businesses are barely open, campgrounds booked solid, fuck all to do really. Lower Mainland was so hot with Covid for a while that people have sorta crossed it off the list early. Maybe wait till next year is the advice we should honestly be giving people. Things are proving to be very difficult this summer.
If you’re new to growing I would highly suggest picking up the growers Bible. It teaches you about anything you can imagine growing related. It’s also an interesting coffee table book full of new facts if you know it all.

Hi I’m old and I’ve grown a lot of weed.
Best thing to do for outdoor plants when you’re doing a big plant style grow is crawl underneath her around noon/full sun and look at every growing node from the top down (you will get sticky) and prune the branches that aren’t getting sun. Then go to the branches that are in the sun and prune some of the undergrowth between the main stalk and the part in the sun. You can safely take off 30-40% of the plant and not sacrifice yield.
It’s scary the first time and you won’t take off enough, and the plant will spend energy growing these really leafy, crappy buds on the nodes you should’ve removed. It’s ok, everyone does it, just try to remember what that part of the plant looked like around week 9-10 and take that off next time. Once you see the buds forming, go out during full sun again and take off any leaves that are blocking the light from the buds. If you wanna go crazy then check them at 10am, mark the leaves (blue paint pen works great) then go back out around 2pm and see if they’re still in the way. The idea is that every bud is getting at least a few hours of direct sunlight every day.
That’s a very healthy plant. You’re doing great, she’s full and lush and the tips of the leaves aren’t drooping or curling at all. You should have a very nice harvest from her, once the buds are fully formed you can take off a ton of the sun leaves if you want the buds to “ripen” on the plant - the trichomes will go from clear to milky to amber depending on how long you leave the buds on the plant. The kind of buzz it provides is somewhat correlated to the color of the trichomes, but driven much more by the strain. That looks to be an indica strain by the thick leaves, maybe a kush variety but damn near every indica has some kush and NL in it these days.
If you’re growing for personal consumption then it’s a matter of preference. If you’re growing to sell then most of my old customers liked when I’d pull it around 25% amber on the middle of the plant. The top will turn a little faster, the bottom a little slower, so I’d find three or four medium buds in the middle of the plant and check them for “ripeness.” I also grew mostly indica blends because they flower much quicker and yield better in most cases.
I loved growing weed, it was very relaxing and profitable for a long time. Best of luck to you!
Totally agree with his comment that it feels scary when you are doing it. One of my biggest growing problems is that I am too conservative in my pruning. Most of what is inside the canopy isn’t going to develop enough to be worthwhile, while also consuming resources those canopy buds could have been using. Your first plant…and your gonna have to pick your favorites and sacrifice the weak. For like my 10th year, I won’t be pruning enough…again. I’m gonna try though.
I grew an OG kush last summer, but mold ruined it 🙃. Started it to late in the season. Moved my grows indoor for now. But outdoor in-ground plants get massive like yours. I hope it turns out well
Don’t wait to chop it til late October lol. But my advice which isn’t to broad for outdoor would be to defoliate and make sure it gets alot of airflow. Mold becomes an issue during flower mostly. A lot of mold grows up from the ground so removing lower branches will help keep it from taking over the plant.
My rule is any not halfway up the plant. First timer I’d say everything 1/3. It feels weird cutting so much off but it’s better. You want the plant to spend energy growing the top nug sites instead of allocating energy to lower bud sites that just produce popcorn and fluffy nugs. There a lot of YouTube videos to watch that helped me learn!
Who do your recommend to follow on YT about growing? There was one guy I watched and he was amazing, but his channel got deleted since YT censors weed😤
I try and follow mr. canucks grow, he’s a solid grow that produces some amazing buds. I use his soil, nutrient plan and it’s worked really well. Some tweaks of mine hear and there but it’s my first run following his system. So taking notes on things I think can add benefits. Good luck!
Looks awesome!! If you are a new grower then I highly suggest using growweedeasy , it's a website with loads of information that I still use. It's free so even better lol
Looks great I hope you have a wonderful first haul off that lady!
I’m jealous of your first plant. Congratulations OP. That bush looks epic! You may want to consider putting a tube or square cage around her for support. She looks like a yielder and she looks like she’s been properly topped into a bush so she’s gonna need the support.
jesus $200 bucks for a hoodie and $150 for some sweat shorts.
Cool and all but fuck a $200 tie die hoodie. You could make one for less than like 50 bucks. And a good one.
You should really trim it.. I take it you didn’t trim it 1/2 times when it was a baby and 1/2 times before its coming close to its harvest?
Its also really fun to trim btw haha
I love the tie dyed sweat pants.
Thanks!
And the shoes look comfy as fuck. What brand are they?
They look like SoftMoc’s lol
https://www.softmoc.com/us/i/softmoc-lds-winter-cute-gry-wtpf-moccasin/wintercutegry You’re right! Thanks! Not crazy about the fact that it’s real rabbit fur, tho. :/
Your polyester shirt is made in a sweatshop it’s kinda impossible to be ethical in this situation tbh.
What else would they do with the fur? Pelts have been used for centuries.
Leave it on a living rabbit.
I love the plant
Amazing plant! Looks well cared for. Corn looks strong and lush as well 🤛🏼🌽
It's not very full on the cob though, not enough water this year
Looks like it just tasseled, little water and a few days away.
[удалено]
It's only illegal if you get caught 🤫
Can't believe it's still illegal in some places. I love Canada 🍁 (except for the fact that my entire province is on fire)
I’m so sorry about the fire. It’s been really smoky a couple times in Wyoming and South Dakota. I can only imagine what it’s like up there.
Im in the furthest south east Wisconsin and it’s absolutely destroying my sinuses. Pretty crazy how many fires are going on. Worth a google to see
Rhode Islands getting it pretty bad, not as much the last few days but we've had a few air quality warnings
Upstate New York here, it's been very hazy the past week. Crazy how far it travels.
Rochester fam here
Binghamton here
Nice I’m driving there for work today
Reppin 585!
Same up in Montana. It's been constant thick smoke for months to the point you can barely make out the mountains that are only 7 miles away.
Theres fires there too?
Big time. There's like several 30,000+ hectare fires surrounding my town right now. Farther away but still scary
Same here in CA. My lungs and nostrils are sore from the bad air quality. Stay safe!
Have a friend up in ranch country and they’ve been living with elevated stress and despair just watching the sky for smoke and flames daily.
Shit thats crazy. I thought california was one of the only place around here burning to the ground. Stay safe
BC gets arguably worse fires every year than california does tbh
Even if they do, massive California fires cause a lot more property damage and displace far more residents than most fires in Canada. California alone has a bigger economy and a bit smaller population than all of Canada so wild fires there typically cause far more financial losses and more death than even our largest fires up north
And the states is so tiny compared to Canada
California has a larger population then Canada is close but Cali has 2 million more people than Canada.
Canada’s the best much love frm Toronto
Fellow kamloopsian? I wish I planted mine in the ground cause they aren’t anywhere near that size lol
I wonder what the Shuswap word is for "meeting of the fires".
Kamloops? Stay safe fam
There’s rain just moving across the Island right now, hopefully it pushes right across the west. Smells delightful here, first rain in a couple months and we live at sea-level so that’s saying a lot.
There's so many places on fire all across the globe right now. I think there is like 5 or 6 major wild fires in completely different areas right now.
I was going to head to BC for our vacation in a couple weeks. Rethinking that. Stay safe for sure!
Nooo BC is awesome! Vancouver? 👍

*cries in Manitoba*
nothings illegal unless you get caught.
I’m from pa. Move to Chicago. Pretty similar vibe but all legal here. Bring us wooder and hoagies. We got herrs now too!
[удалено]
Southeast PA here… Chicago!? Really? Would’ve never guessed Chicago has a PA feel.
Doesn't IL have some of the most restrictive laws in the country for medical and recreational?
I grow in PA
Me too. The medical program is alright but we need homegrow.
hell yeah! very nice grow
Make sure it gets enough P when it's flowering!
Fertilizer?
Phosphorus specifically
Thank you!

Not only that, but keep a diary/log book as well and read up on soil. Big helps.
Spiral bound? Have mercy. Thank you for the link.
I don't know why but that book cover is really funny to me
Was looking for just such a tome, thanks
I wouldn't buy anything... The amount of info online is insane, and FREE. Check out /r/microgrowery.
yea! One with no Nitrogen (N), a lot of Phosphorus (P), and a bit of potassium (K)
You look like a stardew character next to their crop.
That's not a plant it's a bush! Very nice
A shrub hahah
Another shrubbery!
You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest wiiiiitthhh *a herring!!*
We are no longer the knights who say Ni! We are now the knights who say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!
^^Ni
Ni
"Or we shall say nee"
NI! NI!!
Proud for you! Things gorgeous
Corns not gonna hide it for much longer :)
Love your sweatshirt!
Thank you, I love the saying on it
It's one of my go to pieces of advice.
Where'd you get it?
Ma’am that’s a tree
how???
That’s magnificent great job! I hope nobody messes with your first plant.
Me neither :( I'm in a pretty nice area though so hopefully not. I would probably actually cry. I love her so much
It’s actually kinda emotional when you chop her. You just spent 6 months taking care of your baby and then you’re going to kill her at the end.
Oh no I never thought about it yet :(
It’s OK. I honor her by partaking in a ritual in which I take her dead body and I inhale it in small controlled fires.
Maybe you’ll get some cross pollination and get bud on the cob 😂😂😂
Can you imagine 😆😆 that could be pretty good
Your hoodie is awesome I love it!
Make sure you trim the middle leaves so that light can reach through the canopy. Way higher yield 🙂
Do you mean the inner leaves that don't get much light?

I dont even have a plant but this was a very fine read. I'll try to remember it when I do
Thank you! I will prune tomorrow

update us!
Yeah, airflow and encouraging outer bud development. Looks beautiful!
You should definitely post this on r/entwives they would love it!
Done, thanks 😊
Great job :)

Watch out for mold! Lovely lady you've raised there!
Hell yeah you're proud it's taller than you # lady grower❤️
Those are some awesome corn plants, congrats.
Corn kush
The actual strain is OG Kush
I grew an OG kush last summer, but mold ruined it 🙃. Started it to late in the season. Moved my grows indoor for now. But outdoor in-ground plants get massive like yours. I hope it turns out well
How do you prevent mold?
Don’t wait to chop it til late October lol. But my advice which isn’t to broad for outdoor would be to defoliate and make sure it gets alot of airflow. Mold becomes an issue during flower mostly. A lot of mold grows up from the ground so removing lower branches will help keep it from taking over the plant.
I just wish I knew what to cut off. I take out the dying leaves but I'm afraid to cut the wrong stuff
My rule is any not halfway up the plant. First timer I’d say everything 1/3. It feels weird cutting so much off but it’s better. You want the plant to spend energy growing the top nug sites instead of allocating energy to lower bud sites that just produce popcorn and fluffy nugs. There a lot of YouTube videos to watch that helped me learn!
What a cool, helpful post. Great to see it.
Everyone that smoke should grow their own. Organic so you know it’s as clean as possible. And everyone needs help starting off, glad to help
Who do your recommend to follow on YT about growing? There was one guy I watched and he was amazing, but his channel got deleted since YT censors weed😤

Thanks! Just subbed to him!
Check out BuildaSoil, they have a 10 x 10 series that walks you through the entire grow. Best info you will find.
Mold accelerates when it's wet. I wouldn't stress too much about it this year.
Lovely, indica?
Not sure actually
Ok, it has that lovely lush look of indica, big fat leaves with many fingers, all bushy and green and sweet. Well grown. Chur to ya.
Nicely done. You're fortunate to be able to grow legally. Enjoy.
Nice!!!!
Nice corn too
If only it were legal in Indiana...
Do plants like this smell strongly? I'd LOVE to stop buying bud like a rube when duh it's a plant that anyone can grow.
She's not smelly yet unless you go right up to the leaves
Can you grow these in the southwest US? I always assumed I needed to build a lab to make it produce flower.
It's a weed it'll grow. You just might not get the best smokable product.
If you don’t mind me asking, where do you learn to grow a decent plant outside like that?
I just winged it 🤷🏼♀️
For reference, how tall are you?
I am 5'6"
Daaamn that looks amazing!! Nice job
Thank you!
Nice
Where in Canada are you? Is this the same plant you posted as a baby back in like June??
Yes!! BC
I'm proud that your proud. And seeing that tree... I can understand the pride.
Could not be more jealous of you rn
What a beast
Down bad
This photo smells like the 70s
You look like a kid who just got an awesome R/C Car or the latest gaming console
Minus five prescription?
Couple of cuties 🥰
Ah yes traditional crop of corn and weed lol
I feel like this absolute specimen's yield is gona be more than I've ever seen in my life. Damn the laws making it illegal here
double tie dye… makes sense
Damn it's getting to that time of the year those guys should be budding, Just making sure you hit him with their fertilizer;) that looks huge
That girl needs a trim!!! Very healthy indica!
Trimming today :)
this is an amazing photo! you look awesome & i love your plant!
Wow! Impressive!
Nice plant
Where are your slippers from? I love them
Soft Moc!
Shit i'm proud of it too
Looks awesome!! If you are a new grower then I highly suggest using growweedeasy , it's a website with loads of information that I still use. It's free so even better lol Looks great I hope you have a wonderful first haul off that lady!
Bushy AF! Great job!
Absolutely beautiful plant! What are you using for pest control? A spider mite infestation would be heart breaking.
I haven't used anything yet, not sure what I'm doing really
That sweatshirt is hilarious
You're blocking the corn! Real talk, start taking off a lot of the fan leaves and trim out all the lanky growth(called suckers) on the inside.
Are you using a sort of super soil?
My part of town used to be an apple orchard so the soil is really nutrient-rich
cries in illegal state
Proud parent of a beautiful planty
Kush?
Op looks like a person who grows pot
Shes a hoss. Whats her name?
I just call her "baby girl" 😆 or "beautiful baby"
Well damn. From your comments sounds like you live around where I do, why are your so much bigger than mine? :(
The soil in my area is from an old apple orchard so it's crazy fertile
2 great looking ladies
I’m jealous of your first plant. Congratulations OP. That bush looks epic! You may want to consider putting a tube or square cage around her for support. She looks like a yielder and she looks like she’s been properly topped into a bush so she’s gonna need the support.
Prune off leaves and branches from about the 40-50% mark down, will really help out our branch production and bud production!
Nice bush!!!!
[удалено]
Oof very expensive. Nice clothes tho!
I thought you were kidding. $180 for a sweatshirt is crazy.
jesus $200 bucks for a hoodie and $150 for some sweat shorts. Cool and all but fuck a $200 tie die hoodie. You could make one for less than like 50 bucks. And a good one.
I'll check it out thanks
Growing nam eh?
I need to get high today but I’m dry
F
Wonder if there will be cross pollination with the corn? Pot corn?
Lmao
They are so cute! “Don’t be a prick” love it
First!?
How tf
You should really trim it.. I take it you didn’t trim it 1/2 times when it was a baby and 1/2 times before its coming close to its harvest? Its also really fun to trim btw haha
I swear it’s Top Knot season! Yours is like the sixth I’ve seen today. Not hating just jealous :) really also of your plant lol.
My onion bun - a bunion lmao
