Outdoor Crow's GG at 56ºN

Took another two Super Kush clones from the veg cab to the railway this afternoon. The ones I planted last time are all looking healthy, and the C99 x Blueberry EV is now in flower. I cut the cages from the Joshua clone and C99 x Blueberry EV to half height, using the offcuts to make cages for the new arrivals. Just one planting hole left there now, next visit I'll bring some bags of compost and use them as planters. Also visited the two @Sawney_bean autos in the long planter further along. Judging by their near identical appearance, I reckon both are SOS. They are doing just great. All the girls got some Flower Power root drench, and the two new plantings some slow release granules plus a liquid seaweed drench. A few weeks of decent warm weather ahead, so hopefully all the girls will grow and bloom peacefully.

It's more than three weeks since I visited the bramble plot. Went down a bit earlier than usual, around five in the afternoon. The girls are doing fine, quite a few in flower now, but not all. Most looking nice and healthy, a few still a bit hungry with some yellow/dying leaves.

In flower: Joshua mum, two Guerrilla Gold Pie Fast, both BCN Critical XXL Fast and both Essex Gold. Some are further on than others, some just starting. The rest are still in veg. One of the GGPF had been knocked/blown over, and was lying at about 30º to the ground. Suspicion has to be a fox, as I found a den under a nearby tree a while back. I righted her, she has been set back a bit but not too bad. I'm very pleased that the Super Kush mum has fully recovered and is looking great. The Joshua mum is sporting a bevy of amazing buds with some pink/purple in them I think.

I gave all the girls a handful of bonemeal top dress, and a root soak with Flower Power. Did some quick weeding of any invaders that were encroaching on my plants. Took some pics, and then went brambling

. Gathered about a kilo and a half of berries, enough for a batch of wine. Will pick some more next visit, there really are thousands round the plot...

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how the girls are doing. Not as tall as the plants at the embankment plot, but they've not been out as long. Tallest are maybe between four and five feet high. Still time for them to stretch mind you...

These ladies all are looking mighty fine! especially knowing the location you're at. I'm really crossing my fingers September will still be warm and sunny even though you are probably receiving 8 hours at best?
But it's all a numbers game, ain't it? Even if you loose a plant or two to mold or the unthinkable happens. You've got so many locations and plants settled you'll always end up with some fine ass smoke to toke on during the dark days

Regards and keep well my friend

@Bob's Auto's thanks for the kind words.

Despite the northerly latitude, daylight still lasts round 14 hours just now. Obviously as the sun gets lower over the next month or so, then shading from trees will become a bigger issue at all the plots. We'll see how it goes, some of the girls in flower might be finished by the end of September, most will be October, and looks like some might need until November. By then it could be quite cold, which will bring serious problems for any plants still outside. Forecast looking good for September, which is promising for bud development...

Plot looks amazing bro! Like @Bob's Auto's said hopefully this “summer” weather holds out a lil longer.

Thanks dude. Seems just leaving plants to do their thing for a few weeks works well! I am going to have to be more proactive this week, bit of an Indian summer heatwave here right now. Water runs look essential as soil is getting dry...

I do it all the time, but I’m in such a high traffic/built up area it’s a pain in the arse lol

Mate, I'm in the middle of a city. There's always somewhere you can try. If your local council has a local development plan, you may be able to find a register of vacant and/or derelict land. My council and the neighbouring ones even have handy maps you can look at online, showing you where these bits of land are. Of course, most of them have been or are being built on, but not all...
