Outdoor Rockstar first time

[BCOutdoorBudz]

My outdoor Rockstar up in Canada not an outdoor strain but all I could get so far so good I guess only time will tell. Did some pruning and tied them to grow outwards instead of just having a bush. Got rid of alot of bottom foliage to promote growth at the top. Not sure I'm doing anything right as I'm a total rookie but can't learn without making mistakes lmao

It looks like a good setup. Best to keep the middle of the plants thinned out, when growing outdoors in northern regions. I don’t know when flowering starts outdoor at your lattitude, but I’m sure some other people on this forum will know.

Thanks, I think they'll start in flowering in August and finish mid Sept to early Oct if my memory serves me correctly. Not super far North I can drive to the US of A in 10 minutes. Thinking of transplanting the 2 smaller ones into bigger pots they seem to be starting to slow down the growth and falling behind the 2 in bigger pots both in height and girth. Maybe out on in the ground to see if that will help it. Got in a fight with a raccoon and snapped branches off when it fell over lost the main stalk but reattached the rest, just don't want to over stress it.

Transplanting won’t hurt

I'll do it in a couple of days to minimise stress and was gonna add a bit of bone meal to the new home and a couple people said I may need some CalMag as well with GH Flora series but I'll wait until I see tell tale signs don't wanna over feed or nite burn them

I've used GH flora series in the past - easy to over do the nutes - changed to Green Planet nutes and I now give my autoflowers full strength nutes and they are thriving. 3 part nutes with their ProCal are just $15 a liter.

Finding the plant that works best in each climate is difficult as i'm in PNW also but way south. Still get problems with late sept-oct harvest during rains. I'm leaning towards autos or a faster indica hybrid and not placing them out to early..........
