It's about 3 feet tall right now, and gets pretty windy up here at Bizzle's Hilltop Garden. I really don't want to get robbed by a storm but I feel like it's been growing without support for millions of years so I don't know.
That's my dog in the back, he's a bad boy but I love him anyway.
If it can make deep roots, it should be fine barring any actual storms, I guess.
Support never hurts though.
If you're afraid of it getting too tall and want to "instruct" it to get bushier instead of taller, you can top it, aka break apical dominance, squeeze the top most growh tip a little bit to break it. Or just top completely.
It won't mean less or more yield or size, necessarily, it'll just grow wider instead of taller.
Also also, it looks very good, but I think you can give just a tiny bit more fert than you have now. Like genuinely a tiny bit, but it's just doing so well I can see from the slightly light hue of green that it could definitely use more nitrogen. As in, the plant can utilise a bit more of it than it's getting now, imo, despite not currently having a deficiency.
I have done many outdoor grows, and imho, definitely get her some support, she's gonna get stupid big if it's already at 3ft. Ripening colas are heavy, especially after rain, and sagging branches have a tendency to press bud sites together, which invites bud rot. Good luck either way!
I'm hoping for 10 feet 🤞 I want so much weed that it's a pain in the ass to process it all
What did you do last year? Did it work or did you have problems? Do that/don't do that as you see fit.
Last year I strangled them in 4 inch plastic pots all year so I don't think that's a good comparison 🤔 I think I'm going to let it ride for now regardless
There are always lessons to learn mate 😉
are we certain that it's female?
I grew it from a feminized seed, so I'd call it "reasonably sure"
