outdoor '19 | beginner

[This is a beginner's journey to grow a Blue Dream plant outdoors, from seed, for the very first time. I added 3 clones in week 7, and I will include their progress, but each week this journey will feature Foster, the Blue Dream. Thanks for joining me as I learn to grow outdoor cannabis in the beautiful Willamette Valley.] Foster has exploded. We're now up to 55 inches--which is 10 inches of growth from last week! I believe this is a result from the new nutrients, the perfect outdoor growing conditions, and a very careful watering schedule (because it's been very hot, at least for Oregon). I continue to feed GreenGro Nature's Pride as a top dressing at a rate of 1 tbsp/gallon of soil. The new growth looks very healthy, and the stalk looks, well, very stalk-y. I'm guessing that we have about 2 or 3 weeks of vegetative growth left, as that's what the locals have been telling me. Outdoor photoperiod plants usually enter the flowering state in the first or second week of August around here. That'll be pushing it, since I expect 8 weeks of flowering, and that would push us into an early October harvest. Let's hope we don't have early rains this year.
