The sky is hazy in smoke from wildfires from far away and this happens not every year but it does happen quite alot, it is somewhat less visually to see than forestry and gardening outdoors can be an animal encounter and ive got lots of animals but mostly they don't bother me at all. The intensity of the sunlight is still good for growing cannabis but id rather it be a clear view of the mountains and a normal sunny day. It could be a traveling destination but mostly I think that people don't drive as much or as far when the conditions are really dry. The winter conditions aren't very good but it is beautiful to see the area but the climate is better with another month of growing season but I do like the October weather and thats the most I can see of it before thinking its nice to visit when the conditions are wetter. Theres about two weeks more of vegetative growth on these plants and that is the largest plant that id grow in a 10 gallon container. I think the structure of the autoflower plant looks good, October does feel like a late finish but I do like flowering when its colder outside and experiencing a longer season. The two largest plants fell over because they were top heavy in the wind with the rebar when the containers got dry, so I added more support stone. The last photo was somewhat out of focus and that does mean id want a better camera, so I took another photo of it and it looked the same so that does need a better camera and then I took few more photos, there decent quality when there in focus but not as good as some of the most frosty high res photos that ive seen. My thoughts about growing during August or if the weather is cold are that grow tents are an option but probably only needed in cold weather with large spaces but I do think that they do work on dry wall and mylar installations regardless if they use tents or not. I think most of the concerns were with the amount of generation needed to run them. I don't think the horticulture industry thinks that bulbs didn't work they did and mostly I don't think people want to run them at all with the LED light selection, I think the time period where these bulbs were used was a really long time in industry and its kind of like getting a solar car when you buy an LED light and the bulbs are pretty straight forward if they stop working the glass is unaffected but now you can touch them and hold your hands on the lights and thats a safety thing that isn't really a huge issue but that is the new selection of lights, its weird not seeing that generation and im saying that because it wasn't easy to design and build these. Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium bulbs were so reliable that now your thinking how many smart people it would take to manufacturer a diode chip, it took the most intelligence to build a bulb and if its the 1800's, absolutely no clue what that is or how to build it. Xenon is found in the atmosphere of Jupiter at 2.6 times the amount that would be found in the Sun but if your super smart you could of made an LED diode chip and skipped the entire history of High Pressure Sodium. The first one that leaves is the Metal Halide because your using vaporized mercury but it also needs eye protection and there visually better but thats not what the LED discussion is about, its about not being smart enough to build that. There is no possibility in a million years that I could figure out how to build any of it. More than 65 million years ago this is a lake and its very warm and im eating some ferns. How would I describe a Xenon bulb, you can put your hand 6" away from it, you can put your hand on the shade and hold your hand on it without it being to hot, you can brush up against the bulbs with your clothing when there on but not your skin but you don't need to because only a few people have touched them when they were on. How would I describe the heat from the Sun, anything metal is to hot to touch on a hot day, anything that can magnify can create a super hot beam of light. Do you continue to use them? not if you own led lights probably not because they require alot of cooling, do they need to be air cooled with glass? probably not if there Hortilux, the cheaper bulbs need to be replaced often instead of only once per year or two years if you don't want to spend anything on them because there expensive but it is recommended to change bulbs every year and LED lights are 50,000 to 100,000 hours instead of 15,000 hours. If you were pruning underneath an HPS bulb and it was close to your face and hair it feels somewhat safe but it is better to turn them off. Day 124 Veg I pruned again removing half of a 5 gallon bucket full of stems and leaves, it was mostly small stems behind the leaves and interior fan leaves. I didn't do any node counting but I must of removed atleast 1 or 2 more nodes up the branches. This would be alot of work during flower so it is good that its getting worked on before flowering but it isn't necessary but the small containers would need additional watering. Once again there very airy to look at and it mostly is unpruned because of how it looks as in most outdoor plants probably aren't pruned up like this. I also pruned the Alien OG but it is also something I wouldn't necessarily work on because of how it looks. Ive had two days of rain and all of the support stone on the plants held them up and the temperatures have been dipping into the 40's and that has caused the autoflower to turn purple on the upper leaves, I am once again enjoying the climate with a clear sky and fresh mountain air. (Also if you do this make sure to use a stronger material than the twist rolls because they snap when the wind gusts are to strong but that year they didn't)

Drive your stakes into the ground.

@Todzilla,yhea you can pull the rebar with lawn staples probably I like using rock, you can hold the rebar in with a lawn staple if its not in super deep but I could probably hammer it in as deep as the container, I think that for photography purposes the rock explains the plant, its like the sands of time unfolding before you, you can't explain why something so large is so small yet so many times larger.

@blackskaarj1,I use lawn staples in rocky hard soil and it works for stabilization quite well. The staples are the lowest cost and easiest to install. I also have used bamboo, stakes, and rebar. They all work for wind. You just gotta get it done.

@Todzilla,no you can't use lawn staples you need to take a piece of rebar hammer it into the ground and then put a long piece in and your likely to either hit up against another rock or it'll work or not at all.

Hey, you can get a magnifying glass app for your phone that works good enough to see trichomes. No need for a loupe or physical magnifier. Can get good bud pics easily, even using an old phone.

I did feel that not having any structures or roads in the way of the plants as they grow is better visually, the material that the plants are up against affects how you feel about them. Its better than landscaping that you would normally see, its better. I do encounter alot of wildlife though, its definitely there to see. Its my experience vs your idea of what is supposed to be enjoyable and that means I couldn't imagine it being a good idea for August and September because of the fire season but that is what im looking at.
