Morning guys.
I had this happen last year on an outdoor plant and as buds says you need to support it with something,
I wrapped tape around the split part and then used those big cable ties.
This year for outdoor growers is gonna be similar to last year with regard to weather so I would advise anyone with an outdoor going to spray the bejaysus out of them soon.
Anyway I pulled my ladies a few weeks back because of goddamn mould, hard to accurately say how far from being finished they were but my guess is a week or less on most of them.
All three strains had at least one plant infected with the speed haze being hit the hardest.
The buds were just so dense and hard it was impossible to combat it, apart from the extractor running 24/7, I also had two 6 inch clip on', a 12 inch desk fan and a small dehumidifier but the humidity every morning at lights on was still in the 70's.
So that's my first hydro over and I have to say I won't be going back to soil anytime soon.
As for Blackskull seeds i would definitely use them again, A couple of the Jack Herer's showed different pheno's but apart from that they were fine, one of the JH looked like a pure Sativa and would have gone on flowering forever had I not pulled it but still at 2 quid or so a seed they were well worth it..
All the best guys.
