Buds are growing, colas are forming and the aromas are wafting about the homestead. I'm very pleased with the way this year's crop is growing after such poor success last season.
This cannabis was started from seed in February in compost/soil produced on the homestead in 1gal pots made from old vinegar jugs. It was transplanted into the rabbit colony in May and was watered periodically for the first few weeks to get established. The garden was prepared with a broadfork and composted horse manure. I added about 10 gals of additional compost per plant a couple times over the summer. I used cages to exclude the rabbits from the cannabis but they were still able to completely eat 3 of the 12 plants. Overall a very low cost/effort, low maintenance way to grow cannabis outdoors.

quotingAll the plants in the cannabis garden are successfully pollinated!

I had one seed left from the original pineapple pomegranate genetics that turned out to be a male so I let it produce pollen in the cannabis garden.
I tried saving some of the pollen but it looks like I won't need it as well developed seeds are ripening on all the plants.
I'm trying to select for pink color, vigorous large growth, and a super lemon haze high. Plus, a friend and fellow bitcoiner gave me white widow and gold leaf seeds this year which are now crossed with pineapple pomegranate. I'm going to have lots of options next season!
The lady bugs are staying vigilant keeping the plants pest free and looking healthy too.
