NCH and Smoothie both outside now to make room for photos. Some parts of NCH, where leaves and flowers overlap, are so caked over with white that it looks like a happy ending. The MKs show obvious differences between sativa and indica-dominant phenos. MKU1 (Shine On) started flowering 2 days sooner than #2, and being sativa dominant will probably pull her at first sign of 10+% amber to keep her great for daytime use. MKU2 (Crazy Diamond) is indica dominant, and I plan on letting her go a bit longer than 10% for a more nighttime effect - up to 30%ish as long as she stays un-hermied.
Smell is bright, pungent citrus and mostly the same, the difference being that #2 leaning more toward orange (G13?) on the Indica dominant, and #1 more lemony (OG Kush) on the sativa dom.
All this said these strains should have been finished by 4/20 (now May 4) if the breeders info were more accurate. No worries, I just wanted to have the autos hanging upside down by now.
AND BTW I ordered some Big Buddha Cheese (FINALLY found some restocked!!) I may go ahead and swap one of my Afghan Kush plants out to grow one of these babies. I swear have the best smelling garden in my town, even though my friends say I'm nose-blind to pot. ;)
Back to your outddor question. Iam growing every year agood nmber of plants outdoors. And adapting the lightschedule is never a problem to the plants. More difficult is the first week, until they are used to sun and wind. The ony enemy of an outdoor grow is continous rain in the late flower ... and heavy winds. So i give my ladies a" cage" to lean on and some strips to hold them against heavy winds. And they get a transparent roof against rain ( in late flower)
You can look in my outddor doaries like the " Shaman"-Diary ... there are some tips for outdoors
@Mrs_Larimar, This helped tremendously, thank you! Still no roof or greenhouse but the steel cages and plant tape works fantastic. Branch snapping winds will be coming through tomorrow so they will get their biggest test yet with the buds putting on their final weight, but so far so great. Using RecycleSil during veg helps. Thanks a ton!

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Fantastic grow my friend 👍 those buds look outstanding. I checked out your page since I saw you were using the Spider SF-4000. I just ordered one and wanted to see how other grower felt about it. I’m glad I checked your page. To see how happy you were and to get the stamp of approval from @Mrs_Larimar was all I needed to feel great about my decision. I can’t wait. Thanks to both of you and best of luck on future grows my friends. 👍
Good effort, mate! That NCH really shines after about a 3-6 month cure. Presses into the loveliest rosin too, if you're into that sort of thing.
Cheers from a fellow Okie! 👊🌱☮️✌️💪
