It would be best to ammend the existing soil with some fresh compost and worm castings rather than digging holes and filling them; if you were to do that you may as well grow in pots. Through the grow you could do weekly top dressings of organic amendment which will feed your plant over time and also enrich the soil for the future.
In the future I would recommend starting your plants indoors, it will allow them to reach maturity quicker and ultimately give you the best chance at a harvest before the frost. But for this run maybe comsider creating some kind of light deprivation system to try and get through the bloom a bit quicker than if you left it to go full term.

Yeah I was hoping to get some clones but that didn’t work out this year so this is my backup

These things happen. You can still pull a nice crop, its just about finishing before the frost, which can be kinda early in your neck of the woods. I hope the variety is a fast flowering one.

Any suggestions ??
FWIW Copa has a few cultivars that are supposed to finish middle-to-late September (available through DCSE), he’s in ME but used to live in VT. Anthro seeds (available through GLG) is in VT, but the plant I had last year finished more like early October.
In my mind VT is all about the microclimates… more rain/less rain, gets cold early/gets cold later, fog/no fog. All dependent on your local conditions.

Nothing specifically, sorry. But look for breeders from similar environments to yours and some will even mention if the variety will do well outside and how quickly it will finish.
As a resident of Northern Maine, allow me to recommend getawaymountainseed.com They’re located on the Eastern Coast of Maine, specialize in Strains/Varieties that finish Mid/End of September, some that go until Mid October, most, if not all, are resistant to mold and Powdery Mildew. Seed Packs run $60/13 Seeds to $80 for another Strain/Variety. I highly recommend them. Tell 'em “Charlie from Mars Hill” recommended them. SS/BW…mister

I can vouch for getaway as well. Good solid folks. I have all there swamp skunk/banghi and nitro lemon work and they are extremely hardy plants! Dunno if he still does but he also used to make some killer plant food and sell bottles of it.

INDEED, they harvest Kelp, let it turn into a Liquid, bottle, and sell. I recently contacted him, inquiring about purchasing. He asked how much I was interested in (One Gallon), sent me FOUR/4 Qt Bottles, only charged me $15 for the Shipping!! He sells to B-I-G Commercial Cannabis Operations, Colorado being one location. It’s called “Pirate Juice”. Gonna use as Foliar Spray. Hope info helps, SS/BW…mister

You’ll want to start them indoors first, get the seeds at least to the second set of true leaves.
