June 6: Looking very healthy. Watered it in and placed the cover back on for another week. Starting to smell already. Really strong smell already... pleasantly surprised. The coming week forecast is mild and rainy.
@NorthernAutos, lol, yep. Best autos I've grown are Mephisto and FastBuds ๐๐ฅ. Going out today with some feminized Double Grape pollen to make seed stock for next year๐
Itโs crazy hot right now. And about five weeks ago the problem was freezing overnight tempsโฆ.these plants have experienced about a 40 C range this year. Iโm spraying water on a hail net to let it evaporate and mostly just hoping they make it. Will also use some kelp extract as several online sources recommend this to recover from heat stress.
@Northern_Ent, thanks for the ideas/input. Interested to see how this turns out. Indeed heat stress will be a factor. Unfortunately I tend to these only once a week. Watered in heavily last weekend and soil generally had good moisture content already. Should be ok. Risk now is whether extreme heat stunts veg growth and the plant goes into survival mode and puts all energy into reproduction/flowering...
