Stealthy Outdoor Hybrids

TUESDAY 8/6: Except for the Early MIss hybrid and one of the C4 hybrids, everybody is flowering. Humidity has been very high, so none of them needed water today. WEDNESDAY: They were still fairly damp a 3 inches depth, but I am impatient, so I gave them each about a half-gallon of water with big bloom, kelp me kelp you, bembe, open sesame, great white, and terpinator. It was a 100f degrees with a 15mph wind today (108f heat index)..kinda felt like a hair-dryer, so they probably appreciated it. The CC x C4 plant whose seed came from a purple pheno is stretching like crazy. She put on about 6 inches in two days...she's the tallest by several inches. THURSDAY: Another hot one today...see some chewing damage on one of my CC x Amnesia's (probably a grasshopper), and a weirdly discolored leaf on a CC x C4 (looks like a PH issue)..I guess my trained sentry frogs are falling down on the job...or maybe the plants have just gotten too tall for them to be effective at pest control near the canopy... Both of the younger plants (CC x EM and CC x C4) are now flowering. FRIDAY: I spread a bunch of granular insecticide and sprayed ortho all around the garden area today. I also took some photos and foliar fed them with big bloom and boom boom spray. SATURDAY: In the morning, I gave everybody about 32oz of water with bactrex, then in the evening I fed everybody about a half-gallon of some super frothy compost tea that I brewed for several days. It included pk booster, big bloom, bembe, kelp me kelp you, great white, beastie bloomz, and terpinator. SUNDAY: Still stretching...probably will have to supercrop a few of them to keep them below the camouflage netting...or I might just stake them down and train them to be horizontally oriented. MONDAY: Last day of week 6. They are considerably further behind than what the same hybrids ran in my tent in the last grow. Not in height, but in overall development. I assume it's because of the significantly shorter photoperiod (14 rather than 20 hours daily). I expect they'll go a little longer as a result. I'm getting geared up to start my Fall indoor grow, which will hopefully consist of 9 diaries, so I'm not liking the idea of continuing to maintain the current 4 diaries as well...😕
