Dog Gardner Hollie Ollie grow

[OliieTea]

Thanks for the encouraging words... This being my first real success at growing so far. I was devastated when Hollie topped it and broke the other one off. Now it makes me wonder about her. LOL
I have her canopied 24/7 with clear plastic to prevent direct rain on it. (tomatoes as well), but the front and sides are open to allow air flow.
I will get pics again when she does something new showing the suedo green house. I was figuring I can get more plastic should the weather change to help keep heat in as well. I was checking the site posted for sun calander and its looking like maybe 2 more weeks of vege stage, according to sunlight... thats my guess. The waiting is the hardest.
anyway just wanted to say thanks personally.

You can see from the original structure, I really had to expand to accomondate the plants. Plus with the days getting shorter and cooler nights with lots of moisture in the air, well lets just say I learned from my experiences last year with tomatoes. :hubba:
Next spring, if I don't have a "real" green house, I will improve on this one and make it bigger yet. My husband will love me.
All I used for materials were some boards that were in our shed and painters plastic clear. I did cover 2xs to help when it rains for drainage. Some smaller holes wire to surround it with and an old Bed frame for my gate. :farm: Oh and the neighbors fence for my back. I covered it now with plastic to help with cool air flow and any odors now that may come up... I'm real sure once she really goes into full bud, he's not gonna smell something. LOL
Happy Growing Everyone.....

Hollie has been gardening my yard since I got her as a 12 week old puppy. With digging and topping and literally destroying the ones she doesn't like.
She will be a year this Thanksgiving, and by the looks of my girl, we will be giving much thanks.

Updates of blooming and budding and little white hairs everywhere....WOOHOO
Mom if you read this..now I know how you felt when your girls budded out.
I'm going to be cloning this girl for Hollie. She has been laying by it at night in the dark. Found her hair on some of the under leaves.. and a chewed up stick. RUTRO Leroy.
I do have a question for any more experienced growers reading this, Should I be giving her more nutes now that she is budding out?
Its been about a month since her last feeding. I'm going to give the tomatoes next to her a boost later today or tomorrow so I was just wondering if I should be giving her some too.
Thanks for reading and any input is always accepted.

Right stem got too big and we had to bring her down from exceeding the fence line. pic 3 is the same shot of #2 just a different direction



Left stem as well started to exceed the 6ft mark, so we tied it as well... the tomatoes are loving it.

So you don't dare say that word "squirrel" around Ollie either, huh? That and "Go for a ride". They sure know what you're talkin about.........

Neat trick with the pic BTW.

 

[OliieTea]

Freaked me out when I saw it. Yellow eyes.. she was stalking a hot one.

"Pretty pretty" Lady in pink!...great job

 

[OliieTea]

the large one has 2 spots where we discovered mold.. She got topped and the rest of the plant is still doing ok. We will be watching her very close now. We have gotten alot wetter here, so the rest will follow.

 

[Pot Belly]

Hey Ollie -

Great save on your bud. Too bad about the mold. Was the cause of it high air humidity, excesive rain, or were they bunching up against other buds?

The pink background surely makes that pretty bud pop out............

I've had her covered pretty much the entire grow, excluding really nice weather. Covering her every night with the tomatoes. We get a great deal of rain, so when I replaced the plastic to a heavier guage to help withstand the rain weight should she gather water, well over the past 4 days, I discovered the puddle spots, and unfortuneately, it gathered alot of water and then warmer days created moisture inside, so I think a cumalation of excessive rain and then inside moisture. She was close anyway. I figured about a week after SmokinMom.. I still have the bulk of the plant growing and will gets pics tomorrow.. she looks so empty without her tops.
We quick dried some to see if she smokes as well as she smells.. and I must say.. YUM.
