Gotta say that watching this process unfold has been fascinating. I know absolutely nothing about growing and never realized just how much went into it.
So what is the plan for the winter? What happens to the plants?

What happens to the plants? Well thy are starting to bud and flower and then you harvest and cure them indoors. No plants in the winter unless you have an indoor grow operation. |

They are Like a tomatoes, strawberry, or corn plants, One and done DD.
Once pot goes into the flower/bud stage you have to let it finish.
If I wanted to I could of taken a cutting a month or so back before they began to flower and put the cutting under a grow light for 18 hours a day and then I could grow that indefinitely in the grow stage (in theory)

If you had a very nice specimen and wanted consistency I can see how propagating would be beneficial. Because in theory wouldnt they be identical plants? Very intrigued by this. You might be seeing me on the news.  |

You did a fantastic job on the training, props....I'm guessing you'll yield approximately 30-50% more weight because of it. The plants look great but they still have a long way to go, at least 3 weeks to a month until some can be harvested. When is your average first frost? They'll start stinking in about 2-3 weeks and should really take off from there and thicken. I think that 0-10-10 will pay huge dividends in the long run and I'll end up ordering some for my veggies. It's very cheap but I'm still skeptical about how they can omit nitrogen completely. ========== I'm in a banana belt and the first frost can be as early as mid September to late November? I have to water the Blue Kush about once a week, I don't think the roots ever properly developed, the other three plants in the ground I have not watered in about 3 weeks even though we have 98 degree weather. Point is I am unsure if I should water in some more Morbloom or not if the plants aren't asking for water? |

Normally with the liquid organics you can use them every 2 weeks, if you get the dry organic fertilizer it normally lasts about 2 months between applications. It's really a judgement call on your part but if you do use it again I would only use it half strength. |

 5 pot plants pictured. Forward left Blue Dream, behind it to the right is Pineapple Train, then a Roma tomato plant in center foreground, Wonder Woman in the green container, Blue Kush, a tomatilio right foreground, and then Agent Orange on the far right. In the clay planters is a mint plant and a habenero plant that never did any thing. Blue Kush seems to be the most developed/ready?   Pineapple looks to be coming on strong , sticky with lots of whit sugar looking shit on the buds.  Agent Orange, the slowest to develop/mature.  And Blue Dream, which is also a bit sticky and frosty.  So all in all things have gone quite well, the plants have not grown to a size that is unmanageable, the odor has picked up but remains negligible for the location. Neighbors have clued in but not commented. I am told I have to read the trichones to tell if any is ready to harvest, which requires magnification. I thought I would be done with all this a week ago, but things are slower for me or just this year in general. The challenge now is to have them mature before the rain comes and causes them to rot. Not sure what I will end up with yet as far as quality, but looks like there will be plenty of production, so much production that I am now starting to dread the harvest/manicure/drying/ process a bit, as in where to dry it? I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. This has been fun and all but I am ready for the conclusion. What is the difference between a heady high, and couch lock? Does one cause more anxiety then the other? |

Looks good and my only concern is they are still too far out with first frosts about to hit the country. They're close and if you don't hit your first freeze within the next 3 weeks, you will be golden.
You did an awesome job on the training, especially the one in foreground. It should easily double your harvest and it remained somewhat incognito. The drying/curing process sucks and varies by every microclimate, I'd suggest buying a case of the quart size mason jars....you're going to need it.
Don't worry about a magnification device to determine their readiness. Most of the hairs will die back about 50% and trust me, you'll know when the time is right.
The difference between couch lock and headiness depends on the person, at least IMO but the rule is sativas equals headiness and productivity. Indicas are the couch lock, holy fucking shit I'm stoned, and now I'm hungry. That pineapple variety you are growing looks like pure couch lock, I'd tread lightly with that one.
Edit: Pull the lower yellow leaves
