2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[Ckbrew]

homegrown , are you going to enter those in the 2023 solo cup challenge?

Three days and the plants have made a rather alarming stretched but maybe that's normal for this strain? Taller and less dense, I guess the sun can get in there better. Four days of rain in the forecast. I hope it puts of those fires because the smoke is still pretty bad. I'm running two fans 24h/day. I can't change the humidity but maybe I can get some evaporation. I have a weatherproof higher CFM fan on the way via wagon train it seems. Won't get her until next Wednesday. Thanks for the watering and water storage tips SoOrbudgal. That's my next priority. The smell is very strong and much different than anything else I've grown. No diesel that I can detect just a warm musty aroma. No strawberry to it yet. I've pulled the plants a little bit out from the wall to give them more room. I hope hope hope that I'll need to move them to the center of the space before they're done.

You're going to end up with a jungle room when that grows out, nice setup.

We’ll I’m late out of the gate, and I think I burned one with misting under the lights , but maybe there’s still hope.

I’ll probably pop these girls in the tent for a month in a effort to move them faster and further, if I can manage the heat. Then I’ll just flower them outside

I was looking forward to these they are Green Thai , supposed to be similar to a classic Thai stick strain

Lookin nice !
I wish I had a greenhouse

 

[90Gizmo]

Smallgrow Ckbrew The greenhouse is jinxed. We're haven't had a full day of sun since I put the plants in there and we expect the same for another week. I'm thinking of moving some lights out there to help out some.

This is my first fully outdoor grow. So many bugs. Ahhh. It’s going to be ok. These plants a getting rather large. Special that is Franklin.

Day 42, day 7 outdoors. They have hardened over well and the soft leaves are gone. The 3 gal plants are taking off, the solos are working on it. The leaves are developing a pale green to yellow color. It has been raining and cloudy. It was sunny today and they look a little better. The rain here has a pH of about 4.7 which isn't helping with the hydro feeding. So is it lack of sun or pH issues from rain? I started raising the pH of feeding solutions. I kicked out one plant from the tent. It was one of the runts but has been manifolded tent style. I wonder what that will look like when it grows out under the sun.

Hopefully just adjusting to all the spectrum change. They do look a tad pale hey.

Day 44
There was about 3 hours of sun today, they are greening up a bit and looking a little better.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Hiya Ckbrew those look great from my side of the screen. I'm sorry for not being in the solo cup contest i've got too much other garden stuff on my plate at this time.

 

[Bluey]

Putting the girls out in the sun will throw down new root growth fast. That would go somewhat to explaining why the larger pots are doing so much better than the solos your torturing. Poor babies

I've covered my outdoor plants for 2 weeks, they are flowering now. Do I have to keep covering them to maintain 12/12 outside?

 

[Johnjacob1515]

The 3 big ones in the back

 

[Bluey]

They look fantastic. I'd only be covering them this time of year when you have developed flowers and rain/hail is coming.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Do you mean you covered them with black out to induce 12/12 ? If so yes now you have to keep them covered if they are flowering. If they receive more than 13hrs of light they will revert back into veg possibly depends on where your at. But if they are out in the open without shade or blackness nature throws them into flower as daylight decreases. Where I am on the map it's just about to start the beginnings of flower perhaps in 2-3wks give or take.

 

[Johnjacob1515]

There are 3 photo period fruit punch in back, the rest you see are autoflower. Those 3 in back have started flowering since I've covered them for 2 weeks straight. My question is, do I have to keep covering them for the remainder of flower, 12/12 light cycle? 1 told me, in person, to maintain the light cycle, in other words keep restricting light until they are harvested.? 5 pm cover then I remove cover at 930 when it's black outside.
