2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[9fingerleafs]

Thank you. Plants are not too happy with the heat and summer light schedule. I'll share again around October or November when they're really on point

The outdoor grow. Manifold on the right, top once in the middle, no train or top on the left. Those two are just about the same in height. What, if any defoliation besides the very bottom should be done? The manifold is going to have to be hollowed out in the center as there is very little airflow in there. Although this is not done growing out, at this time I am going to say that the manifold outdoors is a bit of over kill. There are probably to many shoots on this one. There are pre-flowers and the stretch is on.

The outdoor solos. They are having a difficult time in this challenge. They are very root bound and therefore are not taking up the nutrients effectively. I was thinking of taking them out of the cup and cutting off some of the roots, then filling the empty space with fresh coco so maybe new roots could grow. Then again that may finish it off.

Well your photos aren't as heavy leaf as mine they look pretty good between the nodes an branches so that's a tough call to remove anything unless theres small branches on the inside, then i'd remove those. I did a hell of a trim this early morning on mine I removed alot of small budsites and branches. Then i watered them cause it's 103f windy conditions. Did abit more lollipopping. I treat them as if i were growing in a tent when they are really bushy and mine are. I'm feeding them 3xwk now giving extra top dressings of worm casing helps through the heat wave they say?? Those solos well i don't know what to tell ya, i'm feeling overwhelmed alittle with heat like they are.
Your photos look great BTW

LOL@crucialbunny. We all dream ( well i do ) of running naked through the weed patch when there in flower. Not now for me i'm saggy LOL. But seriously 9fingerleafs man i sure wish you a good year cause you got a heck of a grow operation. Well desearved i wish you nothing but the best and heaps of green cha ching. Now if the friggin swarms stay away and weather treats you nice best of luck

The little Gorilla Glue clones that could

From these sorry little cuttings to these massive monsters! Only just begun flowering in the Southeast US

Pics from this morning, most everything is now flowering. The Colombian purple is being slow, and as you can see I chopped the top off one to do a double harvest.

Ty for the input on defol. Like growing in a tent I can handle.

Man how i loved growing GG#4 outdoors last summer. I had 1 seed left an tried to start it again with the other outdoor photos but it failed, i was so bummed. It's a great outdoor photoperiod i've grown it many times.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Man Rwise you plants look good to me so much better than mine are., fella mine are getting heat stroke it's been over 103f and climbing dry as the desert it's so sad. I've put them in the shade an they still droop especially the wedding cake she does not like it. If they all were inground it would be kinder for the roots. I'm reading up on feeding during excessive heat and it says not to use high N but more PK so i won't give anymore worm casting or fish/bat quano for now until it gets below 90f. Friggin power company been doing rolling blackouts it's sickening to me. I already set my thermostat to 75.

SoOrbudgal When my pots used to get too hot I had zip-lock bags I would put water in and freeze. I'd them flat in the freezer and they didn't take up much room. When it got ungodly hot I would just lay them on the top of the soil. Then just rinse them off and refreeze.

 

[Rwise]

SoOrbudgal I have used a lot of water this year (sometimes daily) with all the heat, the last 2 day have been fall like but the heat is on its way back. So much rain this month I have not needed to water, but that too is about over (I think).
crucialbunny I have used ice and just let it melt into the soil.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

You guys are the best and many thanks for the ice cube baggy trick brilliant crucialbunny and Rwise.

Welcome aboard Jimmybg78 good looking tree

lookin good, I use raised beds as my "soil" is a sand rock, just a tad hard to dig into.

Chopped one of my two remaining plants - auto flower Dos Si Dos in 7 gal fabric. It was day 78 for her. Humidity & heat has been extreme here - Long Island, NY. Bud rot is hanging in the air. I am harvesting earlier than I would have liked. I keep finding pockets of BR. Three buds removed over the last week - decided to call it a season for this plant.

With next year in mind, I'd like to find more humidity / mold tolerant strains. Any recommendations?

My poor waterlogged girls. 2 on the right have peanut size buds, but that one on the left is a slow poke, just starting to get some hairs on her chinny,chin,chin.
She's either going to get the ax or have to be finished inside.

 

[Ckbrew]

Humidity and mold resistant strains, that would be a good thing.
