2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[Bluey]

....and here water tanks are running dry after 3 wet and cold summers because we havent had rain in 3 months, the forests have 3 years of recovery after the bushfire with thick new undergrowth and we are heading into an extended hot and dry period which will see drought and the forests turn into tinder boxes matched with record high temperatures.
More disasters on the way.

Bowhunterwoody It does look like another shitty week ahead (after a beautiful weekend)!
I'm tempted to hang my light in the sunroom and bring the plants inside during the worst of the weather.
Actually I've done that a few times when a strong thunderstorm shows up on the radar.
Adding the light, unfortunately only a 400W unit might still help out.
These teeny tiny green caterpillars are out in force this year!
Bluey --seems to be feast or famine extremes this year for sure

GreenState. I thought about doing that also but they're way too tall now. Probably should have topped one more time. Just got lazy. Plus I'd be a little concerned with bringing bugs in. Just gonna have to ride it out and hope they make it. We'll see. Maybe the fall will dry out a little. Gotta hope!

Bowhunterwoody in the name of management I am now down to 3 plants I decided to cull what was supposed to be a White widow. This was the one that had been sickly
since the beginning, was showing questionable signs of sex, as well as some WPM. The WPM seems to have been concentrated on this one plant towards the bottom and see no signs on the remaining plants. Hopefully my concentrated effort on the 3 plants (4 is to much of a pain in the ass for my deck grow) will pay off.
So in theory, the plant on the left is a White Widow, plant on the right a GG4 and the one in the middle is a mystery to me--doesn't look like either of the others! (thought I was planting a GG4, now I have no idea--maybe a somehow got a Durban Poison seed mixed in or crossed. Sure looks sativa dominant to me. Nearing 4ft of growth)

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

GreenState, I'm just baffled as to how I haven't gotten wpm on either plant so far. It's on my pumpkins, peonies, zucchini, cukes, and I lost the two autos to bud rot. I know it's coming but I hope I can keep it under some kind of control. The middle plant is definitely showing her sativa side.

Good morning outdoor grow buds. Nothing real exciting happening until now.....i've got budlets showing on most of the plants except for the Freak show. Have some yellowing i believe do to me watering so frequently 2x day temps in mid 90s . I fed them after i watered with bloom today it's got some N in it. Not concerned about it really. I gave 2 plants some epsome salts in there water yesterday. I maybe just washing out ferts but it's the way it goes with plastic pots and being only 15gal and 10gal. These are indica hybreds so tallest in abit over 6ft and the freak show is continuing to grow taller. She was given the epsome salt drink yesterday and some bloom this morning. Everything is green except my lawn grass LOL. Now it's pest protection time will see how it goes. I've sprayed with BT already this week got lots of moths an butterflies in the yard. Yep outdoors ain't for the weak if you want a decent harvest there's things you can control if you are attentive to them. Some times you can't kill them all or prevent WPM it's a toss up each year.

Some new pics, and some of the trunk that got busted up, its been HOT and humid, now warm and wet from rains, more rain tonight. Hopefully no more 100+ days!

 

[SoOrbudgal]

What a difficult grow year again for you Rwise. But cheers to you for keeping on the grow. Those are some big gals to maintain most newbies would of thrown in the towel but your hardcore grower like myself who won't give up cause of mother nature throwing out curve balls. Keep on truckin and pick off those rot spots when you see them. This is how we do it and still get a LB or more of decent bud. Those long colas look frosty good to me, won't be long for you now. Mine are just beginning to flower, we've had some humid weather here now in Aug. and will be getting worse. Good luck and hope you can stay ahead of the bud rot

Well its hard to follow up after seeing all these outdoor grows lol. I seem to have the WPM in control, sort of. I love my shady backyard but the plants are struggling. Sour diesel is a leaf-hopper magnet! Several different varieties- the regular rainbow colored leaf hoppers and a sneaky light green sonofabiotch that settle into the new growth. Temps in the upper 80's and humidity at the moment is 94%...and its not raining..its like a sauna ffs.

 

[Rwise]

The plant in 5 6 and 7 will be cut soon, I did not plan a staggered harvest, but I'll take it!

 

[Rwise]

I find it odd that some plants seemingly attract bug more than another, but I see it too.

This is what a revegging bastard looks like. Started flowering a month ago for no reason a long with one I gave a friend who is growing it in Florida. Two weeks later it reverts. Been outside since early June. May have something to do with it's genes. Now it's starting to flower again.

 

[GreenState]

Almost feels a little fallish this morning here, perhaps it's just some dryer air for a change.
Stumpage, managed to get a lot going on in the first 4" of growth for these plants. Small 2 gal containers
so not monsters(g).

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Boy those are healthy stumps. I also drew down a couple of plants in my pots to help spread out the branches but i need to do it again. Yes to me it felt like a crisp early fall morning also. Weather is saying that we will go back up to 100f on sunday an through next week. No rain predictions. I chopped a male yesterday from a bag seed i'd planted I had it in a flower bed but it was showing it's true " maleish " quailities Pretty brave grow of yours with just 2gal. pots but your a knowledged grower who likes a challange LOL.

 

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal I could be exaggerating, they might be 3 gal pots.
Seems I create unintentional challenges for myself (lol). I have one plant I'm
still questioning, only showing a few hairs and I'm sure it will never finish outside before
frost etc. We'' see, watching closely, so far no balls.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well you folks have had a tough summer with the rains and cooler temps earlier so maybe it slowed the show down a bit. Usually though i find males earlier showing there stuff but this one was late for me???

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Flower stretch is going on with all my plants even Freak Show showed flower now. Last pic are the tallest ones getting close to 7ft on 2 6ft on 1 5ft on 3 and a short fatty at about 31/2 ft. I just hope they don't grow much taller i'm not looking forward to trimming trees. They do have what looks like heavy cola beginings. My freak gal was showing yellow leaf stress but after watching a video of this strain growing outdoors it had much more yellowing and deeper into flower. Those that have grown this plant do they like N more in flower or lower N higher PK which is what i've been giving the other strains. Anyhow.....gonna get in the 100s next week gonna drag some under a maple tree an some under my patio set them up on wood blocks.
Hang in there outdoor growers

 

[Going2fast]

My lady your freak looks fine. Glad you didn't give up on that stubborn seedling. My freaks like to have wet feet. Water her good. Maybe a little n deficiency but she looks happy.

Just wanted to share a little video of my operation. Veg is indoor but flowering is outdoor
