Michigan Backyard Garden Grow

🌳9/22 - I brewed a batch of compost tea a couple days ago, and gave it to the plants today. Honestly I think it was probably a pretty weak tea, but hopefully it helps a bit. 🌳9/24 - Went and saw Rob and Jen's outdoor plants today. They have 3 plants; one plant with 3 main stalks, all more than an inch thick! It makes me realize the potential of growing outdoors given the right circumstance. They're probably going to pull as much off those 3 plants as I will from my 8. 🌳9/25 - Today for the first time I was able to notice some trichomes turning amber. Not a ton of them, but they are here and there. Many if not most of the buds still have primarily white hairs, so I know they're not even close to ready, but the anticipation is killing me. I fed them "for the last time" again, but it might really be the last time today. I was initially a little off on my weeks estimate, and I think they still have 3 weeks to go here, so hopefully a couple more feedings will be good for them. I think I gave them about 1/2 gallon of water, and a couple of them were quite droopy, so I'm hoping they take these nutes right up and can make use of them. 🌳9/27 - Weather started to get pretty cold off and on, especially with cold, damp nights followed by overcast days. Rain in particular was starting to really concern me as I got increasingly paranoid about Botrytis, so I decided to erect a makeshift "greenhouse." This would prove to be a FANTASTIC idea...
