Things have turned quite warm presently. Gonna be in the 90's for a few days. Lots of sunshine for the girls. I've upped the quantity of fluid I've been giving them to 2 gallons each daily during this warm period and they seem to be drinking it up just fine.
Heights are 41" for the big girl and 37" for the littler one.
====================
Evening update > I'm somewhat shocked to find that the smaller of the two girls is actually flowering. I didn't notice until I sat down this evening to do some small scale pruning (which turned into large scale on the big girl). This is probably because I decided to blow off the advice I'd read in my current horticulture bible for herb, which I've provided some pictures of (great book - highly recommend it)... here is the relevant quote..
"When propagating clones or germinating seeds intended for outdoor growth, you must germinate using a 12-hour on / 12-hour off light cycle for the first 30 days. Then you can switch to a 16-hour on / 8-hour off light cycle. ... After that, the light cycle must be adjusted to approximate outside lighting conditions and the plants must be hardened off before finally being placed outside permanently. ... The purpose of this is to simulate springtime lighting conditions. If you placed the seedlings that had been acclimated to an 18-hour on / 6-hours off photoperiod directly outside, they would immediately begin to flower for a couple of weeks before reverting back to vegetative growth, which is a waste of limited, valuable time."
Now... I read that... more than once... and I said WTF I got all summer and these girls are gonna grow into wildebeasts anyway... I'm too lazy to mess with that... and I wanted to keep an 18 hour schedule handy for my autoflowers which will still be alive for another few weeks. So now I get to find out just how much of an effect this has. Live and learn - that's why we're here making diaries. I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow at the big girl but she doesn't seem to be flowering quite as much as the 10 gallon girl.

Grow Questions
dalemacstarted grow question 5 years ago
Got 2 plants that have grown up under identical conditions except pot size. Both were germinated - everything - on the same schedule. Started indoors under 18 hours of light; then moved outdoors. One is flowering - one is not. Will this plant keep flowering or revert to veg?
Solved
Leaves. Too many

@dalemac Beautiful sativa looking leaves on those girls.
To answer your question I need to know what hours of light your plants are getting each day.
If the light cycle is diminishing (sun setting and rising 12 hrs or more apart) your plant will continue to flower But
if it's still the middle of summer where you are She will most definately try to reveg
Which is not a bad thing although such stress can turn plants hermophrodite in some cases.
If you want her to continue flowering outdoors you could consider a technique I have used with success called
forced flowering outdoors see my diary growdiaries.com/diaries/24328-peyote-critical-forced-flower-test-grow for more details Mate

@dalemac, awesome. Looks like you have the perfect location to grow. I'm up in the Pacific Northwest, and we can't even plant outside here until May. On the west side of the mountains some strains can't even go out until June. Finishing a long flowering sativa on the west side of the mountains is nearly impossible without some sort of shelter.

@Exotic_Seed, Hey Please check Chat!
Do you sponsor growers? I would love to grow your genetics! Wanted to start my first Growdiaries Diary, I'm interested in lots of genetics.

@CRiSPrGrow,Vaping is all about the equipment. After playing around with some cheap stuff I settled on Pax products for both flower and oil vaping (www.paxvapor.com). I have both a Pax 3 and a couple ERA's. I've also developed a sweet tooth for concentrates and have a "flowerpot" from newvape (www.newvape.com) which is an order of magnitude up on the quality/cost scale. I love them all. 😎

@dalemac, yes mate just read your week 13 report and it seems the authors warning is coming true?
Revegging is not the end of the world if it happens it happens and there are several stories of people purposely doing it to "monstercrop" their plants. I have had one plant reveg 3 weeks into flower because of light leak and put it outside to grow thru the summer and it flowered again in autumn no worries at all.

@DILLIGAF, I think I pegged my own screwup back in week 13. I had the instructions in hand, I just didn't follow them. Now I'm getting to see what happens. Please see the text I scanned into this diary from book back then. My expectation was I blew it and lost a few weeks and this girl would revert to veg - but what if I'm wrong? How would I know... she doesn't talk much. I just wanna know what to feed her... not that she's looking all that hungry. 😬

@Black_Magic, who won?.... everyone who showed up I believe.... oh you mean the Cup 😏 ... I haven't a clue but I'll endeavor to look it up - must be a link around here somewhere. I was only there Saturday and they don't get that far on the first day. I had big fun. NUG concentrates had some great deals going. My Pax 3 was malfunctioning so I actually bought some pre-rolls and set some cannabis on fire for the first time in a year (since last years Cup in this same spot in fact). Some nice Lambsbread, tasty. I'm not sure High Times can sustain the heavy schedule of Cannabis Cups they seem to be on....or maybe I'm just high. 😎 I say that because there's another one even closer to home in a couple weeks (Cow Palace South San Francisco)... and the one I was at in Santa Rosa was only half the size of the previous year. I suspect licensing is a culprit here somewhere - but the scope of what was for sale this year was substantially different - and probably just moves with the flow of the industry. There was WAY more genetics/seeds for sale this year than last. What does that say? 👍

@@Removed, yep the whole plant. About 18" at a time. It's a 3 stage bath. Stage 1 is Hydrogen Peroxide and water. Stage 2 is Lemon Juice and Baking soda (and water). Stage 3 is just a water rinse. It was damn windy this morning and hard to keep debris off my washed plants. There is a large tree in my yard shedding a lot of pollen this time of year. An amazing amount of stuff falls outa the sky onto outdoor herb. Indoors - not so much.

@DILLIGAF, Hey thanks for checking in. I saw those... and I haven't checked back into last years Durban diary to see when that girl started flowering - but the general expectation was I wouldn't see such prolific flowering until at least a month from now... like end of August. I'll follow on elsewhere.

@Black_Magic, hehe... your time will come. Sorry my generation couldn't have left a more livable planet for you when you reach my age. Humans are dumb that way. At least we got cannabis legalized in some places (mine fortunately). Unfortunately I think the cannabis will adapt to the heat better than us humans. Thanks for the thoughts. 😎
