Kansas first timer. We make our own compost and soil and use it for other crops outside, however, since this is the first time I’ve tried this I got a bag of Fox Farms soil and have been throwing it in along side our soil and so far this is the result:
Any tips and suggestions will be appreciated and also (if the pictures are clear enough)…the 3rd one broke and I found it one morning and taped it together and I don’t know what the strains are before anyone asks
Thanks for the tip. I’ve been watching and I believe all signs are leading to female but it might be a bit early yet to accurately tell the sex. Also for general information they got topped like 4 days ago to which they are responding differently. One seems to be getting really bushy while another (the one that broke) is more “slim.” Time will tell I suppose as I don’t have any special plans for these. This is an experiment that still is developing
Any and all tips to get these plants to bush out would be appreciated. Have only topped them once and have a horizontal panel setup planned for when they’re a bit bigger. But other than that I dunno what else to do as the rain is relentless and the cooler temps are slowin em down for sure.
If ya scroll to the top, the very first plant is the female, the second was the hermie and then finally the male. I do have to say where there’s darkness there’s also light as I found 2 different sprouts in with the tomatoes yesterday morning and have made plans for each respectively…here’s pics of both …
This experiment started by dropping seeds in the garden from random bags throughout me saving certain ones I thought were decent. Hoping something will produce something come September/October. And will update as the grow develops.
One thing you can do to make the plants bushier is bend the stems so more light reaches the lower nodes. They should respond to the light by growing new/more side branches.
Thanks for the tip! Bending the plants is ok for outdoor plants? How long should I leave them bent for? And should I top it again since I have it outside? Any and all help is appreciated!
The plant will tell you when you need to stretch it on out. Just keep bending the tips under it will go back up to the light. It’s like bending a rubber pipe you got to do it real easy and gentle just keep going and it will bend. If it snaps or break no problem little bit of tape keep going
Take most of the big fan leaves off, they only collect energy. You don’t need them all. Then if you wanted bigger colas, take off the tiny buds at the bottom of the stem. It’s called lollipopping. You want to be able to see the sunlight hitting the medium at the bottom of the stalk
Research man. That’s the only way you going to learn for yourself that’s what I did I research. Go up on Google ask a question it shows you all kind of videos.

And will update as the grow develops.
