I remember having an ant colony in a cannabis pot one time. They would cover the leaves every watering time. I actually enjoyed having them, the plants seemed to do really well with them living down there. They eventually messed up my t-5 though, so ants are no longer welcome in my indoor garden ;)
Next up, my largest outdoor lady last year, when she was still wee and small:
Some training a couple of days later:
+5 days:
+1.5 weeks:
July 25 (+ ~3 weeks) getting big now!
I continued training by tying down the branches, and spraying down the ends hard with water (not hard enough to break them, but it's good to hit them hard enough to make them droop for a bit once every 2-3 days when watering anyways). Builds stalks that will last through some hard rains on heavily budded branches later in the year.
Here's the trunk of that big lemon kush (July 25th):
Next year I will fork the trunk higher up to make things easier on myself. This was the first time I had the chance to let outdoor plants grow as big as they could, so I had a bit of learning to do :)
That's it for part 1, I'll post the pics up until harvest next.
Hope you enjoyed, more soon :)
Interesting training method, when I lived in California I tried training one by spiraling it using bamboo sticks and ties but it kind of got out of control and had to stop that method. I hope yours works better for you. sea of green training see works well from what Ive seen, but mostly used indoors.
I did not grow outdoors, so weird seeing ants on them. But if they are not hurting it, its okay.
Lovely looking plant.

Dude, that is awesome, I'm going to try to weave a growing plant into a basket next year! Thanks for the good idea.
I'm planning to post a training guide at some point. I'm super lazy, but that seems to be a bonus in gardening :)

I definitely enjoyed. Thanks for the sharing! I wish I could have a garden like that, but it wouldn't be allowed here.

One day, hopefully, that will change and this garden will look like a patch of weeds (which it is, but you know what I mean ;) compared to yours!
