Backyard 65Gal smartpot scrog

Being that weed is now legal in Canada, I have finally been able to plan a grow in my back yard. There are some laws I have to abide by, for one there is a height restriction of 4 ft, making growing a monster difficult if not impossible.

To get around this I have L.S.T'd the clones and I have chosen to scrog the plants. The initial nets will be 5x15 which will cover two plants, then it will be a 15x20' net come flowering.

I picked four 65gal smart pots, with a homemade a mix of; promix, compost, perlite, vermiculite, coco fiber, cow manure, goat manure, and mineral dust, which have been cooking for a month in the pots.

The strains I have are Shishkaberry, and a personal strain I call grape jam. grape jam is a Jamaican Sativa hybrid that was purple. I managed to take clones from it and these two will be second generation clones from last years plant. Here is a photo from my veg tent, and also from the Grape jam plant that I took clones from.

I hung the net roughly 2 feet and supported it with bamboo poles and steel t-posts. Before transplanting I sprinkled promix mycorrhizae and Gaia green veg fertilizer. I only put a small amount of the Gaia, once it grows into the pot it won't need veg nutes. Once transplanted I watered from my rain barrel.

Wow sorry I abandoned this. I had to change out one of the shishkaberry for a crown royal after a bad transplanting broke the stem and I brought out a space queen.

The plants are all in bloom and done transitioning, the shishkaberry had a ton of stretch and was way late in transition so I’m guessing it’s a sativa dominant pheno, while the grape jam, crown royal, and space queen are all in week 2 of bloom or so.

So with the added weight on the shishkaberry I added another net for support. All the plants are looking super healthy, I guess the hard work is done for now.... I have one more top dressing to go on and I am still removing fan leaves as they grow ... I’m really excited with the trichome development on the grape jam.
