This outdoor growing sure does take a long time 😄 Seventeen weeks in the bag and still a couple of more to go. I don't know that I could have picked a later finishing strain to grow.
Unfortunately, the rain and humidity have started to take their toll on this girl. Discovered a bit of bud rot and had to purge the afflicted bud. Nothing too serious at this point. I also came across some white powdery mildew. This was a little more widespread - mostly towards the back of the lower branches but also an upper branch or two as well. I cut away the most affected areas and then treated the entire plant with Safer Garden Spray. Hopefully, that keeps things in check until harvest. 🤞
Her colour is beginning to fade a bit as we hit the home stretch. Red hairs starting to appear as she ripens and buds are getting frostier and fatter. I've stopped feeding her at this point - it's all water and love now.
Thanks for tuning in ✌️
@StunFlower, good luck figuring it out, but I am sure they will pull through. Do you use any nutrients in your water when you feed or are you using only water cause all the food is in the soil?
Bummer Brother, you could almost taste it! Makes it even tougher. You made the right call! Don't let it deter you, part of growing. I had to cull 2 in my current run. Thank you for sharing!
@UGrowGuy, Thanks buddy. It was tough to scrap everything but it had to be done. More lessons learned and hopefully I'll have better results next summer.
Looking good hombre. It's good to see some outdoor grows in this auto flower tent world. Looks just like a shurb I have outside now. Totally different than the one I have in my greenhouse. Hopefully that rain stays in your favor. Even if it doesn't cause any problems, it sure can cause you some stress. Wishing you a heavy and sticky harvest
@Horsethief, Thanks buddy. I appreciate the kind words. Thankfully, she looks no worse for wear after the downpour. I was fearing split branches due to heavy, water saturated buds but she held up 👍
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
