Maine - 2021

What a week. Had a couple wind storms sweep through, one entirely unexpected. The first snapped the top of the Chemdog, about a foot and a half. I caught it quick and splinted it up good, and it seems to have survived, but damn it sure slowed the growth on the top. The second came yesterday out of the blue. There were thunderstorms around, but nothing too severe, then all of a sudden this wind hit for like 10 minutes like I've never seen. Everything went flying-- everything. I watched 14 pots (bags) tip simultaneously and take down half the trellis lines with them. Got them back up quickly, shook the extra water off, and the sun came right out after. Think they survived that one too, although I've had to remove some leaves on the sides that hit the ground (pm) and I lost a couple of smaller branches. The ladies are looking awesome. Still not sure what to expect from the sativas, this might be the first year any of them get all the way on my outdoor so it's pretty interesting to watch. The diff between an indica leaner budding and a sativa leaner is like night and day. Even the two late bloomers finally bloomed. I'm not expecting anything from the two Viper Cookies, they just started this week and that's way late for Maine outdoor. Even still, I gotta let 'em run just to see. You never know-- with the weather these days I'll be growing outside in December before long!!
