Hey everyone, damn how exciting!!! NZ grow season kicks off with a bang this year for me. Over the last year I have gotten my veg room into really good production mode save some ventilation issues when the clones get bigger and take up too much room...I tell you the checks and balances are nuts am I right gurus? So heres my first problem this outdoor grow...YES it is September and unofficially spring here...it is always better to put your clones out after the vernal equinox so as not to trigger premature flowering..this time of year is perfect for seedlings...however im focusing on my seeds in another way this year so will be putting only clones in the garden this year for my sun grown medpot. So effectively its too damn cold to be doing this with clones and there isn't enough true daylight ..but as you can tell from some of the leaves of this clone I've struggled to balance nutrients, growth, space, watering etc etc etc..so I've called it im planting it out to regain control of my veg room which has been an absolute jungle in preparation for the outdoor season. I dont grow a lot (only for my own medicinal use..strictly) so my indoor space is limited however at this time of year the veg room is bustling with new life bursting to get out into the daylight and prove themselves to be monsters for daddy! My major concern right now is not losing it to cold, but possible spring hail damage and that it may just revert to flower too early..dramatically shortening my plants life...or at the least slowing it down while it readjusts its systemic hormone balance. Anyway..here we go. I hope you enjoy this grow...she smells extremely mild at this stage. I hope you enjoy the grow. Sticky Buds everyone!Day 4, After an extreme cold (7Degree C) night and two days of rain and wind today truly feels like spring...She is definitely picking up today in response....whew I think that might be the last of the real cold.

Hidden away like that this GG#4 has weather the last harsh week very well and is already in Spring growth mode...Fun! I will be topping her from now on at about every 5th node from here until Dec 21 after which she will begin to stretch.

Hi everyone, As expected this GG#4 clone has completely taken off and practically doubled in size in the last week. So its time to top her for the first time ever.

A hard week for her as she got trampled by some random animal...I picked her up and she should be ok from here. Thanks for stopping by and Sticky Buds!

Good luck, my friend!! I hope you do not have a summer like we've had in the northern hemisphere and that your grow is free of problems! Of course, it will always present challenges - but I know you will rise to meet them!

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks for stopping by. Yep every summer is fraught with issues. This season im expecting Hail early on, Wind in November, Passionvine Hoppers in Dec and the serious stunting damage and sooty mildew they spread right through to autumn when we get swarms of Fall Army Worms.Possible midseason drought and If we get past that we have Botrytis if it gets too wet before harvest However all that considered we are very lucky with our fertile soils and almost perfect climate for weed. Stay tuned!

Great place to plant, I'll have to keep an eye on this plant and see how it ends up. Good luck with your grow.👍

@Ancient_Genetics, Have decided to use topping to make sure she doesn't break in any storm we may have. she should still hit 2m.

@Ancient_Genetics, Hehe good spotting! Yes I have a good feeling about this plant also. Because it is such a leggy girl im thinking I might just let her do her own thing...see if I can get her to 3m straight up in the air without topping and perhaps some super cropping techniques. I get the feeling if I dont top her she will be quite the tree.
