Hello Everyone,
Things are coming along swimmingly with the gardens.
Let's have a look.
The weather has been all over the place in upstate New York lately, but in a way that seems suitable for a healthy garden.
For my first time attempting growing plants outdoors, this has been quite a success, a rather forgiving success because I don't feel I've really done a whole lot other than a little weeding and tying plants up.
The squash plants are pretty monstrous looking compared to everything else, and I can say confidently that I at least placed the plants somewhat intelligently based on limited educated guess work, and the way the squash is centered on the big tomato plants makes the entire scene look very welcoming.
There was a nice little rainbow out after a light shower today.
And it gave me this feeling of nice things to come.
I also spotted this bug hanging out under the rainbow with me, and he allowed me to get in for a close up. I do not know what kind of bug this is but it's cool looking.
Now let's check in on the Crack Mack cannabis.

I've been widening her up a little more every couple of days.
If you can imagine the branches widening in a way that resembles a staircase, this is what I am doing with these clips.
The plant has no choice but to arch its offset growth back towards the light each time I apply a clip. The process does not take long during this stage of growth, and it helps the plant become enormous.
You can bet this plant would be a little taller already if not for this training, but the inner nodes would not have the same amount of growth and the overall girth of the plant would be slim in comparison.
The goal with bushing the plant before scrogging (screen of green net) is to get lots of inner node growth that will turn into nice tops once the net is up, and the mainstems will be interwoven throughout the netting.
Most of the stairstep low stress trained branch systems will be underneath the net, defoliated, and visible during flowering.
My vision for this plant is keen and I know that this is a monster in the making.
The clippings in the printed container are four days old, and the clippings in the mason jars are three days old.
These clippings look very happy to me. I have them in the same tent, under six hours of darkness every night.
My hope is that they will remain healthy like this and start shooting roots as soon as possible.
That will do it for this update.
How are these plants looking to all of you?
I would love to read your thoughts in the comment section!
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a good day! -@futuremind
