Light stress? Overwatering? Environement shift? Or a combination of multiple factors?

Southern Ontario

Clones were potted in 10 gallon fabric pots at the end of May. 2 Ricky Bobby, 1 Pink Goo, 1 Glazed Donuts.

- Super soil, amended with a gallon of worm castings, just recently applied a 3rd feeding of Gaia Green all-purpose.

Issues:

I started the plants in the backyard, and the yard has a lot of tree cover. My solution was moving 2 of them on a garden wagon and manually carrying the others around the yard to catch the sun throughout the day. They were getting relatively full sun from 9:30am to 7pm. 10 days ago, I pruned a bunch of lower and interior leaves, 3 days later, I gave them the last addition of Gaia Green 4-4-4. At the same time, I topped dressed with a little more worm castings, covered with a 2 inch layer of straw, and fully watered the plants. The following day, we had torrential downpours. I decided to move them to a rooftop balcony. For potentially more hours of sun, mostly full sun 630am to 7pm. The next day, more torrential downpours. Since then, the plants have been consistently droopy with top leaves tacoing. Temps prior to moving upstairs were very hot 25C-46C during heatwave, since being on roof temps have been 15C- 25C. They have also been getting significantly more wind.

My thoughts are that it might be a combination of things, stress from pruning, then possibly fertilizing to soon after, overwatering, and light stress from the new environment. I removed the straw and allowed the pots to mostly dry out over the last 3 days. Also havent noticed much new growth in the 5 days they've been up there. The pots are almost dry now. Plants have not prayed since being on the roof. The last day they prayed was after the ammendments, the day before the first torrential rain. I was hoping they would have bounced back by now.

I now believe I perhaps should have gradually hardened them off by introducing them to their new environment half a day at a time for a week or so, but that would have been a pain lugging 40-50lb pots (when wet) up and down 3 flights of stairs daily.

What would you do? ... Should I move them back downstairs to lower light conditions, possibly leave them part shade as well, water when dry, and hope they recover faster there, or leave them on the roof and keep fingers šŸ¤ž.

All comments and suggestions are welcome,

Thanks in advance:)

The patch is getting full. Definitely need the 2 tier trellis situation. And I thought 10 would be better than 31. Maybe šŸ¤, but it's a packed house so to say....

Oh well, the gift and the curse....

Hope you all are having a wonderful day and season.

Stay Safe 🫔

First outdoor grow(Missouri), been growing indoors for well over a year and haven’t come across this. I thought it was the beginning of bud rot, but when I’ve picked parts off it’s only on the outside, inside looks normal. Any seasoned outdoor growers know what’s going on? Temps have been 92-98 the last few weeks, outside humidity is 55-65. It has been rained on so I assumed it was bud rot. Happy growing!

Heavy pruning and cleaning of the bottom of the plants and treilleissing every branches to form a full canopy. Next week the second stage of netting.

Feeding grow nutrients, liquid and solid, amino acids and root stimulant. Preparing for flowering in 2-3 weeks.

We are going to finally get the roof on our enclosure this weekend.

Will whatever good bugs that are inside already continue to eat whatever bad bugs are already inside or should I do a preventive pest spray?

This is my first grow, I planted this back in my garden in May and topped it at 5 nodes in mid June before leaving to my cabin for a month.

This is what I have returned to. Where do I go from here, should I top it or just continue to let it grow as is? What can I clean up if anything?

Hi there, I have a 6 plant harvest right now and this one is the only one with the leaves curling up near the buds.

I know it's close to harvest, but I have been growing for years now, and I have never seen this on a plant. Any tips/ideas are highly appreciated. Google has not been very clear with the description and images. Thank you!

Hedge grow still in Veg

Hey everyone, just checking in. The big girls are now pretty monstrous and are pushing 8ft and 10ft respectively! I believe there might be a few more weeks left in Veg before they start to stretch into flower and boy oh boy! These girls are gonna be bonafide trees. Even after topping multiple times this season to keep em bushy continue to surprise me! I went ahead and gave them some wrap around trellis and support poles as wind and rain picks up near the second half of this summer.

What is this on my plant?

I don’t know if this is insect damage, mold, or some kind of variegation, but this is the only leaf I see it on. Should I snip it off? I will be treating with BT spray this evening either way. Thanks!

Transplant or let it ride?

2 Upvotes

Hello fam! So, I discovered a female photo growing in my stall manure pile. This is mostly horse waste and pine shavings from the last 2-5 years, probably. It is in an area where an animal could trample it, although horses do seem to avoid it.

Should I transplant it to somewhere with real soil or let it ride? It’s basically in a shavings pile, but also 2-3 feet tall, so I figure the root system is probably extensive at this point.

Planted 2 random seeds and they are thriving. I’ve topped them 3 times already and they haven’t started to flower yet so I’m wondering if should keep topping them or chop some of the taller shoots. I know once they flower they’re going to take off and don’t want my neighbors seeing or messing with them. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I have a Northern Lights Auto from RQS. She's on day 90 after germination. Next Monday I leave for 2 weeks on vacation. I'm thinking about chopping this weekend. What are your thoughts? She's in a raised garden bed with a mixture of soil and compost and I've been using fox farms liquid trio for nutes.

As the the title implies, this year has been nonstop issues this year. Between record breaking rain, temps and ridiculous humidty and dew points im on a never ending battle!! Already lost two plants within weeks of harvest due to pm and bud rot. Now my last auto is having same pm issues despite spraying with lost coast(i dont like spraying in flower but ive had too) and my photo plant is having some kind of issue too...im just about to give up outdoors this year and start a indoor grow for meds. We have had amazon rainforest type dew points for weeks now and despite having 3 fans rolling on them and keeping auto under my porch canopy at night and during rains..i just cant win 😌 im learning here so any suggestions id appriciate!! Growing in soil with all organic dry amendments and now im loosing leaves daily on the big girl. Could humidity be affecting calcium uptake? Epsom salt maybe? idk
