LED grown lady now living outdoors.. How's she doing?

[farmingfisherman]

Houseplant now a garden plant who has spent 3 days outside under dappled sunlight. First day out I transplanted her into a 15 gallon poly from a five gallon root pouch, not easy because I didn't want to cut the RP. She was started in OF soil but transplant soil is a compost/soil mixture with perlite added. Anyone have any experience going from LED to sunlight have any tips or suggestions to help her along? Thanks

I spray with neem or spinosad preventatively So the bugs don't eat them up and I use Great White by Plant Success to ease the stress of transplant and help the microbe/mycorrhizae do their thing in the soil. My plants do very well with the Great White and the neem or spinosad really help protect the plant from bugs.
Your plants look nice and big!

Sprayed her with Monterey BT today. During transplant I added Big Foot mycorrhizae along with a helping of Dr. Earth flower girl. I have used Dr. Earth green bag when I first transplant my seedlings with good luck so been wanting to try the flower girl to see how it does.

She's got a nice tree trunk stem going on. Thats a strong plant and you shouldn't have any problems outdoors.

7 days since transplant from a 5 to a 15 gallon pot. So far she has received a couple rounds of Mont BT for hungry, hungry caterpillar's and a foliar feeding of kelp. Watered today for the first time since transplant.

Today I spread her out a little further and trimmed up her underside some.

Lady just received a trim early in the month yet you can't even tell! Stoked to not have had any burned leave tips so far!

Lady started to flower late last week. Sheltered under the hoop usually, not today. Today she gets all the good stuff plus some wind in her hairs.

So with the crazy weather I decided to move the LED lady back inside for protection. She seems pretty happy with her new temporary home. Funny how much bigger she seems indoors.

Feeling she's lacking in the nitrogen department. Fed heavier tonight with some grow, usual bloom and some trinity for a little molasses and a small amount of cal-mag. Hoping to see her green back up some.

Raised the light height and output plus wrapped a couple of seedling mats around her pot this morning. 52 degrees isn't real warm.

Think I was able to slow what I believe was a Potassium deficiency issue. HLG 260 is running full tilt and she seems to be liking it. Might add another HLG to see if I can't increase the penetration and increase my yield.

Decided to go all in in what she'll take light wise.

Couple of days since she had her hair done and having a few more rays hung over her. Feel I got the nutrient issue almost worked out. Overall color has improved but still has a little yellowing at her tips but much lighter than before.
