Sleep Outside

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday 💚 My gals had a very chilly start to life this week After planting the seed came up last friday and i get the impression she didn't want to come out as she didn't pop her shell until today. Basically its been cold and wet here with the lowest earlier in the week at 9 degrees C at night. I probably should have waited to plant, but im an eager beaver and get impatient for sweet sweet bud 🤣 Daylight hours are currently at 15.36 hrs and increasing and we are set for some warmer/normal weather next week Shes just had a few drops more of great white and rain water for meals. Im hoping her chilly start dosen't effect her to much and this little sproutling does look stout,hairy and strong 😊 Lets see how we go and il see you next week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday 😊 Its been a real mixed week here for my gal, il start with the weather which has been improving. The first half of the week we had allot of rain, wind and it was generally cool with day temps of 17c and 12c at night, by Friday the tempreture had come up to 19c in the day 13c at night and we'd had some nice warm sun. Her yoghurt tub was taken off on tuesday and yesterday and today shes had a scorching 30c in the day and 18c at night which is much warmer than normal for May in the UK. Daylight is currently 15hrs 53minutes. I went away on Saturday daytime and she had a good watering due to increasing temps with great white. What i found when i came back today was the local squirrel had been digging in the pot and she was in the hollow on her side 😑 The little shitbag hadn't even buried nuts in the pot,he/she was doing it to piss me off i reckon (it worked 🤣) I very gently watered her and then propped her up with damp soil, and she should be ok if not traumatised by her attack. Development wise her first true leaves are through and these lush green and healthy and now shes upright again growth should speed up. Ive put some turf pins round the pot with the hope being if my friend comes back that a) they poke his feckin eyes out, or b) if he jumps up the movement will scare him off 🤔🤔🤔 The weathers meant to stay nice for the next week so stay tuned for next weeks come back special! Thanks for stopping by 💚💚💚

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday 😊 Its been a pretty good week for my gal, we started the week with really hot weather for May, with temps of 30c daytime and 18c at night, the tempratures have slowly tapered off daily by a couple of degrees each day and by Thursday - Saturday we were looking at 22c daytime 14c nightime. The days have been solid sunshine with humidity about 55 until today when its been raining all day, current temp is 17c and humidity has shot up to 97. Daylight is currently at 16 hours 7 minutes currently. With all the Sun this week shes had good solid growth and is just starting her 3rd set of true leaves and is looking nice and healthy 😊 No feed again this week just great white with every watering. I have had a slight issue this week when the wind blew the diamatous earth onto a couple of leaves, i've now learnt from this that it actually breaches the leaves cell walls and causes damage, in the picture showing this it looks like nute burn or potassium deficiency but i observed the effect a short time after and gave her a very gentle finger tip wash. Im now thinking of putting the powder around the pot but thats not much good when raining. On the squirrel front the turf pins are working, i know this as both pots were side by side and my little friend tried to dig up my other grow! The weathers looking a bit more unsettled for the next week but with her solid start hopefully she should be ok. Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday 💚 The past week has been one of stark contrast for my gal compared to the one previous, if theres one thing the UK weather can do with consistantly its variability! Its been raining everyday this week with only one afternoon of Sun and thankfully/gratefully it has also been Sunny this morning 😊 Tempretures have dropped significantly and for the 1st half of the week we were looking at 14c daytime and 10c at night, Friday - Sunday were all 16c Day and 10c night and today weve got extra warmth at a heady 17c 🤣 Daylight length is currently at 16 hrs 18 minutes. Growth wise shes doing really well, her 2nd set of leaves have a slight mutation and are webbed a bit like ducksfoot, which interesting but not a point of concern as the next tier has come out normal, and shes just started her 4th set, her side branches at each node are just starting to peek through. Shes not had any feed or great white this week due the free continous rain water. Shes also has a few markings from some sort of flys which were shoed off of her earlier today but nothing major, and considering shes been chronically overwatered for a week shes looking really healthy 😊 The weather from the reports is looking to be a bit better for the next week, so hopefully she'll have a bit more Sun! Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday Its been a real mixed week for my gal. We started the first half of the week like the last, low tempretures around 17c daytime 12c night, continous rain and winds at around 30mph with high humidity 80%. On Friday afternoon things to dry out a bit, with Saturday and Sunday having some decent Sun at 23c, however last night we had a thunderstorm and today has been grey and overcast. Daylight hours are currently at 16hrs 24minutes. Ive been in two minds about the route to take with this gal as FastBuds recommends defoliation or LST due to the strains bushy nature. For outdoor plants i dont normally bother much with training due the Sun moving, but i decided on Friday to give LST a bash and she was pinned down with a few turf pins, ive also turned the edges of the pot down and added safety pins around the circumfrence which can then be used as anquor points with twisty ties if needed. Growth wise shes not got allot taller this week due to the weather, In retrospect i planted this gal little early, but was tricked in by a particularly nice warm May for the UK. She did however dry out enough for me to get her first feed in yesterday and she is looking healthy still despite the weather 😊 Shes also had some leaf miner damage, nothing major but will keep my eye on. Ive not seen my friend the squirrell again and ive started putting the diamatous earth around the base of the pot when dry to ward off any slugs/snails Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by ✌️💚

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had a fairly good week overall, however the leaf miners had started to spread so i defoliated lower fan leaves earlier in the week, she has now got some trails on the upper fan leaves, but she needs leafage for progression so ive started trying to squash the larvae between thumb and forefinger. Hopefully this should work, ive had leaf miners on plants before but generally leave them, but theyve been worse than normal on this grow. Training has been piecemeal each day, but as shes quite low down i have torn a couple of leaves slightly by accident where i couldnt get to the base of shoots, trying to hold them in their dedired positions whilst pinning them down. Although il continue to make continuous adjustments, shes about to start flowering so i may not seperate any more auxilery shoots into main branches, but we'll see dependant on if theres much sretch going into flower. Feed wise shes just had the one dose this week of Plagron, Trace and Great White. Weather wise its been allot drier/consistant overall but with fog, mist and drizzle starting each day Tuesday - Saturday with the Sun coming through for a bit in the afternoons. Humidity has remained very high but with constant temps of around 19c daytime 14c nightime. Sunday the misty/cloudy days had gone and it was a lovely hot 25c day/18c night and today its been a scorching 27c! Daylight hours are at 16hrs 26mins and will now start reducing as we had the Summer Soltice yesterday ☹️ Overall my gal seems to be happy with good growth, this strain seems well suited to the UK weather but the real test will be in flower, as the past few years we have had a wet summer with ensuing budrot. At the moment this strain really dosen't seem phased by our changeable weather conditions and seems quite hardy 😊 Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by ✌️💚

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had a fairly good week overall, mainly due to a rare bout of very hot weather. Its been absolutely scorchin, Monday and Tuesday 28c ,Wednesday and Thursday 30c with continuous Sun and average nighttime temps of 24c, Friday through to Sunday thing tapered of a bit down to 23c with Sunshine and clouds.We did also have a thunderstorm Thursday night ,but its been pretty solid on the weather front 😊 Daylight hours are currently at 16 hrs 22 minutes. We are now in Flower and her first Pistils have appeared! 😊 Training has continued a bit each day and ive been guiding her branches away from the middle and trying to keep them fairly level with some more light defoliation There was one shoot which had grown from the underside of the plant which was struggling for light which has now been exposed. All shoots have had really good growth this week and ive virtually got her in to the shape i want trying to give spacing for decent airflow in flower, but its a case of constant tweeking. The leaf miner problem has now ceased but my other friends the slugs appeared after a thunderstorm thurday night and had a go a couple of the fan leaves. This occured after the rain had washed away the diamatous earth from around the pot and the copper tape dididnt work 😑 Ive therefor now decided to roll put some local ale in a beer trap for them to try as id rather they drink than eat, hopefully i can take lock the in beer jail! Feed wise ive actually managed two feeds this week with the plagron n trace to help power that growth and il be flippin over to flower nutes next week. Although this gal has been attacked a bit shes coming along nicely and doin her Daddy proud 😁 Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by ✌️💚

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had another good week overall, mainly to a continuation of consistant lovely weather 😊 Although not as hot as last week its been Sunny everyday apart from a little rain Friday morning, its been really consistant with daytime temps of 21c -23c Tuesday - Sunday and today its crept up to 25c, nights have been an average of 14c. Humidity has remained high in the range of 70-90% and Daylight hours are currently at 16 hrs 14 minutes. Growth wise shes loving life, i was happy with her shape in last weeks update, but her main cola had stretched quite a bit further upwards this week and needed further pinning down, and all branches have also had good growth and been trained out further to the sides of the pot. Fyi the the height logged is the length of her main stem as if vertical. Flowers are slowly kickin in with new pistils and her smell is now also starting to develop, and when close shes giving off a slightly sweet aroma but very delicate at this stage. I've also done a bit further defoliation on the bottom of the plant so as she goes further into flower any breeze can blow freely underneath through helping keep humidity down between colas. Feed wise shes only had 1 helping this week but will be getting another at the end of today, i've not changed quantity as she looks really happy with no sign of deficiency or excess. On the pest front the ale i used last week is too dark to see through, but there are some foamy looking lumps in there, so something has definitely gone in! When it evaporates a bit further(or they drink it) il have a slug count with pics clean and refill. I dont really like pouring away ale or any alcohol, but i spose its worth it! 😅 All in all shes coming along nicely, thanks for stopping by and hope you have a nice chilled week ✌️💚

KnightRider Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had mixed times this week both related to the weather. Tuesday and Wednesday things started to ramp up again tempreture wise 27c day/18c at night. Thursday - Sunday 30c day/ 20c night so pretty flippin hot again and today has been a chilly 28c 😊 Shes been drinking about 4 litres of water a day currently and i had to go away at the weekend for a day, so with the heat she was moved to an area that gets the sun for the first half of the day and given a good drenching. However when i came back shed been partly fried by the heat and some of her lower leaves were crispy to the touch and she was completely dry, i currently feel terrible like an abusive parent and i should have moved het to the full shade ☹️ Shes been really thirsty and two feeds have been administered a few days apart, on the positive side shes had another week of really good growth. A couple of the branches have gone really crazy growing a couple of inches taller than their counter parts and im just gonna leave these, to hopefully grow into some nice big giant connected buds. Flower development is coming on strongly and smell has also increased again, its still kinda a sweet smell but not geting any discernable apricot just yet. Shes also starting to get her frost on 😊 Humidity has come down a bit averaging in the 70s this week and if the good weather continues im just hoping it dosen't shoot up again later development causing the dreaded Budrot! Daylight hours are currently at 16 hours 23 minutes. All in all another good week, thanks for stopping appreciate it ✌️💚
