I think my ladies are in trouble?

One good overwatering on an outdoor plant isn't going to harm it when it's that mature. Think about all the outdoor grows that get rained on a lot. It's harder on a plant that is very young or indoors.

Good point!
I just gave both ladies a nice flush with 2 gallons of water.
And it started to rain so that will help even more. I'll post a pic in a couple of days to show progress.

Oh yeah..... I read everything o can get my hands on. And Google is a good place to ask questions. Growweedeasy.com is a great tool too!

I keep them on my patio and I put a dark cloth over the window and sliding glass door to keep the light pollution down. Any thoughts on lights at night? The neighbors next door have an obnoxious patio light that they never turn off. Some have said that a far away light doesn't matter and others have said that the light from far away combined with my patio light can cause issues.

Just as long as its not very bright. A faint light wont do harm. But sudden blastings of a patio light can be devastating.

The next door neighbors have a super bright light that they NEVER turn off. It's about 150yards away and it was worrying me so at sundown I tarp off the greenhouse to keep it dark and then in the morning I jump out of bed and pull the tarp off. So far they seem to be happy! No signs of wilting on the branch.

I'm still seeing signs of nitrogen toxicity tho.. And the soil is drying out from that flush a few days ago. How long does it typically take to disappear?

God I hadn't even thought of that! He is organic for sure. I wonder if there's a way to test the soil to find out if he used a soil with nutes in it first??

Let the plant tell you when to feed and not a chart.

I don't mean that harsh. Reading the plant is better than charts and what not.

It's ok. I'm not offended. Here's what they look like now.
They've perked up quite a bit. I recently found out that they were indoor before. So obviously the poor things are in shock. And then I over fed them.. (face palm)

That will do it. Got to harden them off.

A uv bulb helps or an hour or two of direct sunlight a day for a few says. Go up on the direct sunlight time an hour a day. Use morning and evening sun first.

They will bounce back.

Total novice here.. What does harden them off mean? Sadly I have no light and the weather has been less than optimal this past week BUT it's supposed to get back up to 80 starting tomorrow.
I've been unzipping the greenhouse to give them direct sun and to dry it out in there. We don't want to get bud rot. Right?

Don't put them straight from indoors to direct sunlight.

When you move them from indoors to outdoors, put them out in the morning sun and then shade the rest of the day. Like from sunrise and let them get a few hours of direct morning sunlight and then shade when the sun gets high in the air. The next day let them stay in the direct sun a little longer. Increase the time each day. Go from a few hours of morning sun to all day sun over 4-5 days. It lessens the shock on them.
