2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

Any other Southern California outdoor growers having to prepare for Hillarys' arrival Sunday? My girls are in 30 gallon bags and I can't budge them so moving them indoors is a no go. Has anyone ever tried a cellophane wrap around the plant to keep the branches from being blown apart?
 
Where I am, some people wrap their ornamental bushes in burlap for the winter so the snow doesn't trash them. Maybe lots of stakes around the perimeter to support them? Consider laying them over on their side in a controlled manner before the wind does it for you and breaks them. Best of luck and stay safe.
 
Hopefully it won't be as bad as they say. I heard it's be downgraded. I'd be more inclined to wrap in scog netting with 8ft t-post anchored.
 
I wish i knew what the hell is going wrong with freakshow. She's just failing now. Watering doesn't help she doesn't seem to enjoy the FF bloom at all. Was doing OK before flower no great but she was green and had a hell of alot more leaf than now. She's yellowing bad, leaf going yellow falling off. I've done cal mag, i've done epsome salts drink and I've done nothing else. She's just sick and makes me sad i can't seem to snap her out of it. If it wasn't 110 inside the green house i'd throw her in there an ignore her, heck i may anyway. She's got 1/2 the leaf in the above picture damnit.
 
Hey GreenState . Yea the rain yesterday morning was nuts. 3 inches in 3 hrs. Then beautiful. Just the craziest summer weather. My photos are about as far along as yours on the right. Looks cooler then normal for the next two weeks with more rain after Monday. Just a crazy summer.
 
Whichever way it goes it aint gonna be good, unless you want a new old lake! Be ready to do some surgery on a limb here and there, I get some damages every year, the girls are really tough and pull it back together fast, long as they are not completely busted apart. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the suggestions friends. I kinda feel like this storm is being a little over hyped in the media but being cautious is seldom a bad thing. The plants are currently in my screen house and if the winds get nasty I may have to take the mosquito netting off the PVC framing.
 
Bowhunterwoody Seems as though we had no June or July this year, strange.
I'm rapidly losing fan leaves, but I can see the trees changing already also.
If anyone is planning on leaf peeping, plan for an early peak this year.
 
GreenState, yea same here with the fan leaves. A few every day from each plant. Have a wedding in White River Junction on Oct.8th. They planned for peak peeping. Hope it holds out for them.

I notice resistance to mold as a selling feature in the marketing copy on various sites - This one particularly caught my attention:
https://therealseedcompany.com/product/kalamata-red-heirloom-landrace-cannabis-seeds/

And I asked ChatGPT - -its training dataset must have contained references to similar. Confirmation bias? It offered up a list of strains. Frisian Duck sounded promising. Along with Durban Poison & Northern Lights.

Too bad such a strain is just wishful thinking...
 
Strawberry Cough claims such traits as well as being heat tolerant. But to hear Kushman talk about SC I think it's also stronger than a locomotive and able to leap tall building in a single bound as well.
 
Beach freaks are flowering. Lost a bastard and most of the other. Friend in Florida had his do the same thing. Started flowering late June, began reveg then just keeled over. Me thinks bastards aren't good candidates for clones.

..... and they appeared to be going really well. This is why I have had enough of growing these wonderful plants outdoors. Shit happens you cannot do anything about and the last 4 years the weather has been adverse to successful grows.

Next it will be global spidermite or some other plagues, hold on, climate change is here!
 
Hello my friends,
was trying to grow a small plant outdoors, but here in socal its tough because its to damm hot. Sleepy joe is not to sleepy she just keeps growing. I have topped every branch and even lollipoped some of the lower branches. She's in a 5 gal. Fabric pot an 5 feet tall, and with at least another month to go I'm stressing about root issues. With this heat she's drinking 1 gallon a day. Wish me luck!

Hello johnb1963 I've done nearly the same with all of mine except for the Freak Show strain. Same here hot hot and smoky on some days. It's feeling alittle like fall here in so. oregon in the mornings. Weather is slightly cooling only in the low 90's now. The work you've done will in my opinion greatly help the out come an health of the plant. I think she looks very good for such a small pot even better than mine in the 15gal plastic. I'm going to buy some 5gal fabric all i got is 3gal fabric. You've given great care and it shows. Did you get much rain an wind? Sure looks good if you did. Having cement is a furnice on hot days, you may want to set her in a shallow box with soil so that it doesn't reflect heat on bottom. My pots sit on my dead lawn LOL

The sun is out and it's a gorgeous day. Gave the girls a once over in the wake of Hillary and zero damage. Never had winds
over 18mph in my neck of the woods. Kinda disappointed in this years outdoor grow. Plants are really healthy but they just
didn't reach the typical size of previous grows. Last year the Freaks hit well over 8 feet and this year it's more like 4. I'm also
experiencing a much earlier flower. One of my 3 GSC is already in full bud now. My Purple Punch is the only plant that seems
on schedule. All I can figure is that all the May gray and June gloom we had here in So Cal disrupted the normal pattern. The
smaller sized plants combined with having my OG Kush turn out to be a him will definitely impact my yield this season. The
screen house is doing its job nicely and I haven't found a single insect or bird poo on them. While the netting was up I decided
to give them all a feeding of banana/kelp/molasses tea. They're looking a bit shaggy so later today I plan giving some haircuts.
