Auto outdoor

So a few days ago I was out working on the plants doing a small leaf strip on the lower section to make watering a bit easier. When I was done I went to put togther its daily feed, water was already ready to go, just needed to add the nutrients. Was maybe 5mins tops. As I walked out to water the plants I noticed wind was blowing really good and when I walked over to where the plants are I found that my Northern Lights plant had been knocked over.... I believe it was a mix of the wind and the hot heat drying the soil out in the fabric pots a lot faster then it would indoors. So to stop that from happening again I planted 4 bamboo sticks around each pot. Each stick was 4ft and I pushed them in about 8" into the dirt so hopefully it'll help to prevent this from happening again. I've also changed my watering up to help stop the soil from drying to fast because the plants were getting a bit limp there near the end of the day when they were still in light. So now I've organized my watering into 2 days. Day 1 starts with feed in the morning and straight RO water 6-8 hours later and Day 2 is just straight RO water twice a day. Now one thing I've noticed with both plants is how leafy the buds are getting. Now I don't know if this is a stress thing from the weather being all over the place or if it's a AUTO thing because I've never had any of my photo plants do this, indoor or outdoor. Hopefully it corrects itself and the buds start to puff up a bit better. One of my growmies down under suggested cutting back on nutrients to see if it would help with the bud development a few days ago. So I might give that a try to see if it helps at all. Another one said it might be from cold nights (had a few nights there were the temperature dropped down to 5c) and that its stressed the plants out. Plant growth has slowed down. Last few weeks the plants were growing about 6-8" a week, this last week both plants only grew a few inchs each. Hopefully that's a sign that the plants are going to start pushing all the growth hormones towards the buds and not that there stressed out. Plant sizes... Northern Lights - 40" Royal AK - 37" Well that's all for this week. Hopefully next week the plants we'll have bounced back and started budding like they should by now but we well see. Happy growing everyone!!!
