The cannabis is absolutely thriving in the rabbit colony cannabis garden

This year I only used fertility from within the rabbit colony to grow the cannabis. In the past, I've applied multiple feedings of composted horse manure processed by our chickens to grow the plants.

While the only time I water the plants in general is for a day or two after transplanting, the weather has been excellent this year for growing cannabis. Rain every few days with very mild heat waves.

Some of the plants are growing nearly as well as the season which I tried really hard to grow massive plants. Except this year, I've hardly tried at all. I attribute the success once again to the weather as well as a few years of building the soil in the garden thanks to the rabbits. The tallest plant, White Widow x Redbud Haze, is over 10ft tall.

This season I couldn't decide between two nice male expressions of Redbud Haze to pollinate the garden. I will be using both, one has already dropped pollen and been fed to the rabbits. The other is getting ready to open it's pollen sacks soon, so the seeds won't be totally random on the buds. The deeper seeds are more likely the earlier expression and the outer seeds should be the later. Since the second male has been growing all season it is giant. It should be a nice meal for the rabbits too.

Speaking of meals for the rabbits, I recently pruned the large White Widow because it was growing into the plant next to it. Those prunings went straight to the rabbits. Honestly, I never could have imagined a world in which I'm happily feeding female cannabis to animals.

All in all, I'm very happy with how the season is going for both the cannabis and the rabbits. I was recently on the Survival Podcast (link below) with @jackspirko talking mostly about the rabbits in the system. I will be bringing the monthly permaculture live stream back from hiatus on Wednesday September 4th at 8pm to discuss how I use permaculture to grow the cannabis and all the techniques involved from start to finish. Tune in and chill out if you want to hear/ask all about the cannabis side of the rabbit colony cannabis garden.
