2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[Bowhunterwoody]

Well we've had a few days of sun. Plants are doing ok. Starting to yellow at the bottom pretty quick for this stage of flower. Might need to bump the N on the next feed. Two gallons each every other day feeding every other watering when I actually have too. Seems like it rains every day or two with inches of rain. Still no wpm. 🤞

The outdoor grow is progressing. Flowers appeared a week or two ago. The way they are now, if they were tent plants I would want them to go 6 or 7 more weeks. By that time it will be way to cold for plants outside, and it will be very wet every night. Like that is any different this year. I am contemplating putting the manifolded plant back inside since the other plants are finished. Idk if I really want to do that. I would be bringing the bugs inside the area that I try and keep as sterile as possible.

And then there are the outdoor solos. Not much left of these. Total root lock. This season is winding down. No motivation to save them...

Looking good! Both your's and Ckbrew 's plants are looking far more vigorous than mine.
My plants never really recovered from my time away on vacation. Also believe this is the time of year where small containers become problematic. Still keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for at least moderate production. Have decided to feed them 1/2 grow/1/2 flower nutes for the next few weeks. Only positive news is my slow poke plant has finally decided to flower, maybe it will surprise me.
47 degrees here this AM

Hello gal, I appreciate the kind words. It's been 90 to 100 degrees for the month. It did cool down last weekend as the storm rolled through. I moved the girls under my covered patio to keep them out of the rain. Going to to be 90 again next week. I don't keep them on the concrete. They sit on a rod iron stand which is mostly all open on the bottom, so they get plenty of air underneath. You can see it on the first pic. I'll post again as as progress.

I'm training all three plants onto the net now. An working on recovering from deficiencies. Top dressing with slow drippers are a non starter, maybe sprayers solve that problem. I've compared the buds to typical and I guess about 4+ weeks into bud. Expect 10 weeks so I'm running out of summer. Having a heat tolerant strain during the heat wave was nice but now I'll h have to have pot warmers before this grow is over.

Geeze GreenState what a sheety grow season already cold in the a.m. Yes mine are getting slowed also do to extreme heat an windy. I think frankly now that i OVER watered all of them in the last month. Mine look like crap compared to Bowhunterwoody plants. I too picked up from a friend some Mendo ferts. I was given a baggie of 20-20-20 read all the goodies on the 40# sack it's organic crap. He said 1 teaspoon per gallon of water yes it's dry mix carmel colored. I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow morning. I've always been to dang cautious feeding high amounts of NPK but what the heck mine are loosing leaf to yellowing daily.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Gawwwd i feel ya with the motivation crap. Don't feel bad about the solos. My outdoor ones are not as great growing like in past years, I guess i'm glad now that i got abit carried away as many as i grew cause they are so far wayyyy under performing. I'm gonna hit them with 20-20-20 NPK water solulable organic stuff a fellow grower gave me a baggie of. Maybe it will kick start them or maybe kill them LOL just kidding.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Mine are flowering very slowly also. I gotta go take some pictures but they are nothing to really brag about this year so far. It's still to warm for us outdoors or greenhouse. I got some strains supposed to be 70-75day flowering but they ain't gonna be done mid September more like the end the way there growing. Ugghh this season i just am not feeling it like years past. But on the bright side no bug/worm issues at all YET.

Soaking up the waning sun and pushing the flowers.

SoOrbudgal I'm beginning to miss the heat. I think hot and humid beats cold and humid. I'm going to try wrapping a grow mat around around each bag and wrapping insulation around that. Mars Hydro describes doing that so I guess it's not too whacky an idea. Soil temps already dipping below 65F at night so I don't think it's too soon.

It's my first outdoor grow so I don't know what from what. While they look "okay" I don't have any certaintude that I'll get to smoke anything from these plants yet. Ever hopeful though.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I will take heat over snow and windy freezing rain anyday 90Gizmo. We or just me tend to whine about it as the days slowly grow shorter and knowing 6 months of cold is coming. But i'm in the PNW closer to Cali boarder than Canada so those folks get the shit award this year. Crappy cold winter that barely ended and fires that go on till winter comes again. My body sure feels better in the warmth.

Welp a couple weeks have passed since my last photo show. I did major yellow leaf removeal prior to pics. First 2 are my pride an joy random bag seed from way back don't know what they are but they are my best. A shot of all the plants on my dead lawn and I have a shorty about 3 1/2 ft and couple of bud shots. Going on 3rd week of flower. Gave them a 20-20-20 shot of nutes because they are mostly unhappy an i thought they need a boost we'll see if it did any worse harm. They just are struggling from dry windy hot weather. I could of over watered them which caused root issues but they have dozens of holes drilled in there pots. It is what it is i'll post again with pics in another 2wks. It's a long slow process outdoors this year it's wearing on me kinda loosing my mojo feels like. If i find the freak show pic i'll post it here guess i missed it in the download. I've definitely had better grow years but i'll take what i can get. Indoor photoperiods coming in the winter.

They are not looking too bad at all given the weather you've had. You gave them their best chance of doing well. The rest outdoors you get what you get, lots of luck needed.

 

[Rwise]

lookin good from here.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Thanks for the compliments. In person they are not so nice looking it's something and i can't fix it. We had a surprise lightning and rain storm after midnight last night. I shook them off took off several more yellow dieing leaves from each. I'm not reusing my reused soil next outdoor grow it's going into my veggie beds. And i'm gonna have less plants cause i'm going to do indoor after outdoor is harvested and dryed/cured in the jars.

 

[Going2fast]

Well the auto bastards are outside now. Last photo bastard died. These smell like honeysuckle. Getting frosty.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Here's Freak Show. It's lost over 1/2 it's leaf she's about 2wks or so into flower. I'd say 4 out of 7 plants have root issues from stress/heat. I never had this problem as bad when i lived 20mi outside of town. But I got shaded most the time too had to keep moving the pots which i hated to do. I wish you could zoom in on the stalk it's real purple as are the branches. I may of watered to much on all of them and did'nt allow them to dry? Well the sick one's droop abit gawwwd i hope i'm not heading down the rotton root hwy

 

[Going2fast]

Wow that sick little seedling really grew up. She looks ok but they like lots of water. Lots

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I have given lots of water hence i think she flooded and it caused something to make her roots sick loosing leaf totally yellow I got 2 others doing the same thing but they are still filling out bud wise. This " thorn" just balks at everything nothing makes her happy should of named her Kim Kardasian

 

[Smallgrow]

Bahahahahaha
