Lets See Your Outside Plants

We're getting close to the flip where I live in Eastern Canada. I've got 4 plants in homemade containers. They're 4 feet in diameter, 2 feet high and made from hardware cloth, and I wrapped burlap around them to keep the sun from heating them up too much. I've got some fence posts and 4 foot high cattle fence that I put up when they get a bit wider. This is the third year for me outside and I'm organic, mostly because it's easier than mixing nutes for them and cheaper. I've gotten hit by hurricanes both times that I was outside before so that's never a good way to finish them. I almost didn't bother this year just because I know that I'm gonna get smoked again BUT I'd feel pretty bad if by some miracle we didn't and everyone else got a good harvest in.
Bungee cords are a life saver in the wind.

If you don't mind me asking what strain are they. They look beautiful.

The other great thing about outside is wind and rain. I'm in the East coast of Canada and we had a real wet July. Couldn't string 3 dry days together to get your lawn dry enough to mow it. Super rain yesterday and lots of wind behind it. The rain made the branches heavy and the wind tore them off. The first two pics are one of my thrashed plants. That's a nasty break and a too big a piece of foliage for me to cut off if I don't have to. I find as long as they haven't wilted they'll be ok.
I drove a t-bar post into the ground and zip tied the limb to it. Looks good to me!
Next is a close up of the repair. I used 4 zip ties to pull the wound closed. Not sure if it'll seal up 100% but I'll bet it comes close. Those are real bad places to get bugs living in.

Nice job! I’ve done something similar and actually used gorilla glue as well. Worked great!

They're all different. I start at least 4 new plants from seed inside every spring. Left to right they are; The Purps (BC Bud Depot), Skittles (Canuk), Green Love Potion (Samsara), and the closest one on the right is Mango Meringue (Canuk). I'm trying to go organic for the first time. They were more nitrogen deficient looking until I topdressed with bloodmeal.

I was using fish emulsion for Nitrogen. I just started side dressing with bone meal and langbeinite for phosphorus and potassium. I am all organic too. I am growing one unknown bag seed and a few Purple Haze feminized. It's the purple Haze that I am seeing that color on but just one of them

Always done good by me. They have lots of strains that handle my climate. Lots of humidity and early frost. When I get back out to the garden I'll snap a couple pics. Nothing like yours though. Happy Growing.
