She popped a few days ago and has been moved outside today, hopefully no pests or pets get to her. First time growing outdoors so it'll be interesting trying to keep it low profile and seeing what the weather decides to do.

I was away for four days from Sunday so gave her a bigger amount of water than I wanted to help her jn the hot weather. She seems to have grown slightly, no more or less than expected at this point to be fair, I'll keep an eyenon her and the weather to ensure she's protected from any bad rain.

She fell over in the short hail storm we had earlier jn the week but I've staked her up and she seems happy. Not the best images because I can't really remove the netting just yet but as she gets bigger the image quality should improve.

Not too bad of a week, she's grown better the last few days and is looking stronger against the already Hardy backdrop of her natural garden space. I'm hoping to tidy up her surroundings this week and give her a proper option of shelter when it rains as I'm currently just using a plastic bowl to cover her.

She's going well given the weather's taken a turn for the worse, I expected the outdoor run to take a bit longer but she seems to be doing well.

Still going strong, she's popped into pre flower and I've given her more space in the chicken wire. She needs a new hat to protect from the rain and elements but she's doing well overall.

Genuinely surprised she's still going given the shitty weather we've had over here yet there she is still growing and had popped I to flower. I need to protect her now from the elements so will come up with something this week.

She's had a rough time of it since day one really. Somethings eating her leaves Somethings sliming all over her It's rained almost non stop the past month I'm shite and didn't protect her properly Still... she rides so I'll allow her to, I'm hoping this rain stops for a decent period soon.

Well, she's been eaten to fuck this week, I caught a slug on her a few days back too. Doused the pot and surrounding with diatomaceous earth to try and prevent more visitors. The bud sites are visible but really underdeveloped, probably more to do with the weather than anything else. I'll keep her going but next time I think a nicely stocked mini greenhouse is the answer.

The weather's improved a slight bit which is nice for me and this lady, the bud sites are tiny but we'll crack on regardless

Another shite week of weather hence the tiny bud sites, she smells amazing when up close sonim pretty devastated that the constant rain and lack of sun has caused the small buds but also glad to have the experience of outdoor and seeing the issues it can bring. I'll crack along u till the tiny buds are ready and see whatever end up with.

Not much to report, a slight improvement from last week, not sure what I'll do at harvest but she smells so good that I'm gutted I didn't improve the environment and the weather was shit.

She'll be down this week with what little bud she has telling me she's ready, not sure what I'll do with her but at least she's not a total loss and gave me some outdoor experience before I setup a new greenhouse. Weather over the course has been mainly wet and miserable with a few roasting weeks just to keep things interesting.
