Hey all. First outdoor on the go. A few easy sativas an a red purps in ireland. lat 53 if it helps any. Just put my girlies out last weekend and we had about 4 days solid of rain. i was so worried but i got out to them today and they seem fine and are now 3-4 weeks old and i gave them a tiny dose of nutes and root strengthener.
Anyway waffle over, heres a few questions.
1. Spittlebugs. Ive read they arnt too much to be concerned about. I pulled them off with sticks today but should i do more to prevent/remove them?
2. A few seem to be stretching a little. Will they be ok or is there anything i could/should do?
3. The rain splashed up some dirt and and it landed on the leaves. Can the dirt harm growth?
and finally a slug got past my defences and topped one of my plants. haha. i got down an the top of a plant was just lying beside the rest of the plant. Do you think growth will continue like as if i topped it myself? its a bit lower down the stem than should be when topping. and its not a clean cut. its a bit chewed.
heres some pics. how do they look? yeah some lower leaves are dying off already :/
heres the one the slug topped
good angle to see the stretching. if it is stretching
and just a few more
