Oregon Outdoor, 2021

I wish I could help you with that, I had one plant do that and had no luck turning it around. Maybe others know a trick for that. I have grown GG4 and it was a very hardy plant, mold resistant, took a lot of abuse and stayed strong, so if any plant could pull through this, I'm betting that one can. Hope it works out for you -
She's actually coming out pretty well. but she will be going into a 200 gallon pot as soon as its stops raining or at least slows down. 16234369008012242156916661210275.jpg
 
for sure its been wet and cold ,,, come on summer,,,
Yeah, us auto growers can't make up this time. I'm sure they'll do fine in the end, they just won't be quite as big as they could be.

They keep changing the details, but at the moment it looks like summer arrives next Wednesday...

Typical Oregon weather. A few real hot days early on to screw up cool weather crops in the garden causing some plants to bolt and frying the peas. Looks like Wednesday it's game on for summer.
 
As the tall tunnel/greenhouse experiment continues, I think I'm seeing an unintended consequence. We've had overcast days with occasional sun breaks, and during those breaks the space warms up, but then the sun goes away. I think that creates a combination of the warmth raising the plants metabolism to want to grow more, but then somewhat starving them for potent light. Well, that's my hypothesis for why they are stretching.

Anyone else's plants stretching?

My plants in the greenhouse always seem to stretch in the first potting.I leave room to add soil so they don't fall over. I put 3 saw horses and a sheet of plywood to get them up into the light, It seems to help.

Thanks for the thoughts. In my situation the knee walls aren't blocking any light, my location is surrounded with mature trees, so the only sunlight I get is from about noon to 6pm, mostly directly overhead. That's been enough to finish some decent plants over the last half dozen years. I wish I had more hours of full sun, but the only way I could get that would be to build a fire-tower style platform, and put a greenhouse about 30' up off the ground. Yah, I love to dream.

2nd story on your house with a 2nd story balcony and 6 foot wall around ,,, sun all day, now thats a dream hahah
 
I hope the sun goddesses come out to play with you too all over on the west coast.

Long runs of rainy days suck. Once it rained down relentlessly on my grow in late bloom for the better part of two or more weeks. It was some years back, I don't remember if it was during an el nino. There was no end to it in the forecasts. It can be frustrating after putting your soul in to a season long grow. The stars align and prep possibly your nicest buds ever. Then it keeps raining after the curtains open for the grand finale lol.

I wound up with a ton of immature buds a couple times.

A day of rain followed by days of constant sun. It can change. Generally this far south in Ontario is somewhat predictable with good growing weather from may to october. Niagra is only 30 minutes away its known for its wine grape region. East to France west to California along the major parallels its good growing.


So far rains been sporadic.

Yea therapeutic it sets you straight when you immerse yourself in it. Then when smoking the wears. Marijuana is the gift that continues to keep on giving and giving.
 
it rained pretty hard earlier today,, i decided to top all 4 plants, i am so lax on this,, or i am buzzed? pretty sure i topped two of them at the 6th node and the other 2 at the 5th at any rate, it was a good clean topping, all of them are very healthy, with big leaves and great color,
the heat wave is coming starts warming tomorrow, and 90's later this week , so i am really expecting them to take off , thier roots have had good time with the cool days,, so heres hoping,, cheers everyoneIMG_8143.JPGIMG_8144.JPGIMG_8145.JPGIMG_8146.JPGIMG_8147.JPGIMG_8148.JPGIMG_8149.JPGIMG_8150.JPGIMG_8151.JPGIMG_8152.JPG
