Spent most of the week outside but came in at night. Hardening off and top/FIM seemed to slow growth. Re-potted into intermediate plastic pots.
All looking better toward the end of the week.
Growth and lower nodes of FIMed blueberry and topped critical mass but unclear yet how it’ll progress. Medical mass talker and less vegetative but putting on a few more leaves (no top or FIM yet).
That's too bad about the aphids. The defol was way too late and too heavy, defs affected the results. I have spoken with a lot of outdoor growers and most said not to touch them unless its necessary. I would recommend spraying insecticidal soap 3/4 the way through veg and it should stop the bugs in their tracks. Usually takes 2 sprays 2 weeks apart. I had bugs bad last and did the spraying this year with awesome results. Next year you'll be able to grow some monsters with the experience!
It's nice to see someone with the similar latitude as Sask on here posting. Happy growing my dude.
@jbirdstheword,
Hey! Thanks for the input! Buds are fattening slowly but suspect you’re right on smaller yield. Tempted to take them down but gonna go 1 more week. Always learning!
