The outdoor Durban is now 47" tall and I came home twice this week and found her laying on her side. So with the help of a buddy I placed an inverted tomato cage over her for protection. Never tried this before so I'm not sure how this will work - but I've never had a girl grow this big before... and she's not even flowering yet (the indoor girl is the one that's well into flowering). In fact, I switched back to veg nutrients instead of flowering outside mainly because another plant I have outside was showing some yellowing fan leaves (Raspberry Glue also not yet flowering). I expect this wind to be a persistent problem and there's a lotta summer left for the outdoor girls.

I was hoping for a qualifying finish, but #1... wow... I'm humbled by the honor. Now I have one less decision what to grow next summer. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@Mrs_Larimar, my pleasure. We get attached to our girls when they grow. This baby was special. Way more than I can consume here. Sharing with everyone I know. Still have seeds to grow. Next time a bigger container. ๐Ÿ˜

Bud washing!? Interesting! I've never heard of it before, but you bet I spent the last 4 hours researching it. How would you say it effects the end product after dry/cure?
dalemac
dalemac
@Horantu, I like the end result. I'd have to say that my washed herb actually dries faster than previous grows that were unwashed. Sounds counterintuitive but my theory is that the baking soda/lemon juice also acts as an astringent. In this case I was able to snap small branches within about 60 hours after harvest and wash. In the old days I used to wait 4 or 5 days... or maybe I'm just getting old. Another video to check out is Jorge Cervantes. If Jorge is down with this... so am I. ๐Ÿ˜ vimeo.com/275728566

@bobo420, thanks again... sometimes I'm not sure who stresses more, the plants or the caretakers. Have to keep reminding myself they're weeds. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@dalemac, you're welcome ;) I think it's not worth the hassle to cut down the light cycle or to have a longer dark cycle... it's still going to be messed up information coming from the lights, better to keep that on minimum, in my opinion. I think that other parameters make greater difference when transferring out

dalemac
@bobo420, Thanks. Curious if you have any advice on transitioning plants outside. I currently use an indoor light cycle of 7pm->1pm (for electrical cost purposes). Is it worth fussing cutting back from 18 hours to something less this last week for light cycle acclimation?... and on the day I actually move everybody, is it smarter to have a long dark cycle on the night before that switch?

Amazing man, what time of year did you pull the plug on them and roughly do you remember the outdoor temps at the end? That was an awesome grow to read!

@dalemac, great job man! I hope my CKS turn out this nice, it'd be sick to win some bonus stuff, you deserved it for sure!

@ButtersStotch, The harvest date was September 22 and the daytime temps were in the high 70s; she started indoors and was moved outdoors around the solstice in June. It was a fun diary to make; I had no idea when I started it you could win things - but this diary brought me a lot more than some great herb. ๐Ÿ˜

@Tonino, Awfully glad I put that tomato cage over her many moons ago, but structurally she's very sound. Easier to support buds that grow vertically as opposed to horizontally I suppose. I expect she will ripen quickly with the cooler nighttime temps.

I hear you on the seeds versus clone match up. The other benefit starting from seed, IMO, is structural. Seeded plants have better structure and will be more easily scrogged. I am dealing with this issue right now, funnily enough. cheers.
dalemac

@Mr_Positivo, Yeah the seeds seem to lend themselves to more vigorous growth. I'm curious how my "runt" seed will fare in the long haul vs the other 4 girls which outran her. It's the seed that almost didn't germinate (ended up 5 for 5 so can't complain) and I hate to hold that against her But... part of me says that it's a sign that seed was less viable than the other 4. I'll put her in a 5 gallon pot and probably grow her indoors to see if she can overcome the couple weeks lag behind the other girls.

No one has said it yet thatโ€™s text book calcium and magnesium deficiency. Looks like you could transplant now.โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿป
dalemac

@PharmaZ, No question I could transplant now, but the plan is Wednesday for other logistical reasons like space availability in my garage. I actually cut back on nutrients (to 25% of recommended levels) out of fear and reading elsewhere... you can always add nutrients back, but burn might hurt worse. Wasn't sure what to do here - more nutes or less and went conservative. Only one of my DPs is showing this odd color and behavior like non-symetrical leaves. Must be the Trump of the litter. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

looking fab bro ๐Ÿ˜€ i feel your pain wind im contantly moving my girl around on balcony at moment .

@Fergie, Wind has become a much more significant factor than I remember in past grows. I grew a few small crops in my backyard a decade ago and never faced the kind of windy conditions we seem to have now. Not a coincidence that one of my biggest plants last fall blew over and sustained major damage the same night the fires started in Napa/Sonoma - about a hundred miles north of me. Still got a pretty good yield but the early harvest made it a little different spacey-wise. ๐Ÿ˜€

@dalemac wrote โ€œMakes me wonder what in blazes I'm doing growing plants indoors when I can get that kind of yield outdoors. Ummmm... probably because I enjoy it... but still. No more winter crops dude ... focus on the summer crop ... stick to seeds if you can.โ€ I do both also. I love having the plants around even if theyโ€™re not big yielders. Continued success! Imagine if you had used a 20 gallon bag! Youโ€™d yield huge and get to go outta town
