2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

Two weeks down. Eight to ten weeks to go. It's a lot of work keeping up with the watering but the big one grew more than an inch overnight so I guess they're using it. I trimmed all the small stuff underneath yesterday including some branches that were too late to the party. The big girl was 34" tall when I brought them outside. Now it's 49" after 13 days so that inch/day has been the rule lately. It's got almost another foot of room before I have to insist that it stop. Branches don't need support yet. Hope the do when they are fat with bud. I've got my sticks ready.

The wiring is a mess to power the fans and sensor but I do have drip loops in case things leak and the whole mess is plugged into a GFI outlet. I'd like to get the temp/RH sensor more into the canopy but it's still a work in progress.

Rehabilitated and relocated pond freak. Now she's beach freak along with her little sister. Pond bastard got dug up by the damn muscrats too. She's in bad shape but I will give her a chance. All the bastards have begun to flower. Going to reverse the pond freak if she pulls thru.

If your growing in properly prepared soil it won't need much watering but if in coco it will need it regular. I set it up to 3 times a day in mid to late flower with good temps. You can buy a PowerPoint or an inline switch that is wifi compatible and fully programmable for under 50 bucks. You can even get wifi Climate sensors and set point alarms to go off on your phone or trigger the power on off to your exhaust fan.
That's how I did it. Works 99.5% of the time perfectly.
If your not ventilating of a night only water of a day when you are ventilating to keep RH down

Thanks Bluey. I'm never afraid to try something new. Especially if I've thought about it for awhile. I've got on-off control of the exhaust fan and experimenting to see if there's any reason to turn it off. Am thinking that it might be good to retain the heat if the humidity doesn't go up. Mostly at dusk where the concrete slab has retained great. It might get a better VPD. I do believe I have some water pumps from my old reef tank days. Found my soil sensors last night but auto watering is a relatively big project for right now. But I do think it's a better idea to experiment with that outside rather than in. Less risk to the carpets.

Love ya work Giz.

You're going to fill that greenhouse in no time

I got my plants off of the shelf and now they have a bit of headroom. And room for me to train them if needed. There's also room to get between them to reach the new shelf for my smaller plants.

Just barely, pistals are starting to appear at a few nodes. New growth are appearing at the same nodes so maybe that means some big colas will form?

Looks like I have a day off from plant emergencies to work on electrical. The new 4000 CFM fan is in and doing be a great job keeping inside temps close to outside temps. About 2 to 4 degrees so far vs 10 to 15 degrees with the little box fan.

Bluey ... white tank. Probably not even plain water (which was what I was thinking.) That's my fermentation vessel and I'm going to put that back were it belongs. For now I'm mixing one-offs with hose water in the orange bucket and not worrying about letting the water set 24 hours or whatever. I'll get something opaque when I'm ready for unattended watering.

They look like they are well into their stretch so you might get lucky and not have them grow through the roof in there final resting place; but the cold nights and hot days might stuff that theory up.
Is that white tank your nute tank?

Rwise - Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun with this. I won't get enough veggies to make a big deal but we've grown a lot of spices and I look forward that next year. This is a 3+3 state so I never needed that much room but the 15' was on sale for $10 USD more than the 10' so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Bluey - The nuts are 2" over my head and are six feet off the ground. I'm going to try putting the center of the plant six inches or a foot to the right of center. The ceiling is practically the same height there and that will give me more room to work on the other side to. I'll get by this year and grow smaller plants next year.

Nice, and much room to grow!

Lookin good!
