@Waira update on the photos.

The grow is poping.
The Rev is blowing up. A bit more lolipoping to do n clean up to ensure I'm only dealing with top buds come harvest this year on the plants but luckily I have kept things pretty tame this year as I had planned.

Helter Skelter already into preflower I really like this cultivar outdoors it performs amazing here.

Honey Badger looking real tough. I just finished a couple of these indoors and the flavor is amazing like a peppery sweet cookie dough very interesting and the high is right up my alley.

Looks really good all around. Stripping and lollipoping those girls really pays off in the end in my opinion.

Dutch Passion LemonZ have been outside for 73 days. No sign of flower yet. Feeding once a day, at 2:30 after they start to droop, to stress them a bit (MegaCrop 1-part 2.5 g/GL). I lost my cheap-o pH tester somewhere, so I'm just adding 6 ml of pH-lower once when I mix the 20 GL rez. That used to get pH down to 5.7 when I was measuring it, and it creeps up to 6.5 by the time the rez is finished 5 days later. The pH chart somebody posted a while back showed that some minerals are best absorbed at pH below 5.8, and some above 6.2 (in coco), so I hope as the pH creeps up all the good stuff will have a chance to get taken in. I will order another Milwaukee pH600 soon if the old pH pen doesn't turn up.

Looking thick on those I likes

That's a nice little setup!

The farmer in me says you need to plant some cover crop! A nice mix of seeds, but heavy in legumes that are inoculated...... Hairy vetch and various clovers. You keep it managed during the grow, but let it go towards the end for some of the legumes to go to seed.
If you like that location and your girls do good, after your harvest you can plant some hairy vetch with some Lbon rye. The rye acts as a mother crop and protects the vetch throughout the winter time. The Rye will have an extensive top growth, but it has a large root system that adds quite a bit of vegetative matter. A winter cover crop What's one of the main methods in my Soil building I did for my garden at my old farm. That's sandy soil I had ate up carbon like crazy, but within a few years. it changed into a very fertile soil. But with sandy soil it's a never ending fight. You have to keep adding carbon!

Oh yeah I used a beneficial flowers cover this year but thinned some of it out. I will be transitioning to the winder cover and like the recommendation. I have some heirloom carrots mixed in there right now that should be getting close to harvest but that just for eating.

changed into a very fertile soil.

My soil started from river silt. I live right under the source and it's rock dust. No organics. I hauled it up into camp and started adding humanure compost yearly. During the growing season the honey bucket goes to a pile daily and is covered up with green 'weeds' from the yard. In the fall I cut down the 6' grass that surrounds the yard, lots of straw for carbon, and silica. All winter the honey bucket gets dumped into a large box, 4'x4'x4'. It's covered, never smells in spring, no one but me ever knows it's a giant shit box, lol. I empty in fall and compost pile it with the summer's high N take and lots of straw. Makes big pile and in 2 seasons it's ready for the garden and my raised bed where I recycle the potting soil.
Been doing this for 14yrs at this camp. I now have great soil that will grow very healthy plants.

My edible ground cover.....2 kinds lettuce, carrots, green onions. Keep in mind these Portal Sativa f1s are autos growing @67N. At D50 they are loaded with bloom and bound for glory, weather permitting

Mass planting via shotgun seeding. the only way I can get away with this shit is fertile soil.

I thin and munch throughout the day, hey hey!

back online, finally, but for how long? Viasat internet totally problematic this far north, any weather and I'm offline. I have Starlink ordered, everyone up here says way better. Late with update.
The gh has filled up, hard to take any pics in there, crowded.
WDA going purp

Starlink is great, been using for 3 years now.

Grape Kush autos have turned on the trichome production.

Septoria creeping in as I quit spraying these after they started flowering.

We let momma and her babies in the garden. No go zone for the rest of the flock as they would destroy everything and eat the cannabis in minutes. She stays in the walk ways and doesn't touch the open beds of lettuce, carrots etc. Good momma!

Happy Growing!
