greenb plant looks beautiful, just a question if the weather turns nasty near the end of the grow ( i hope it does not) can you move them indoors? or is that not a option

Hi kulan hunter, thanks - she's awesome right enough (nothing I've done btw). LOL, I'm already thinking (or rather trying not to think) about what I'm going to do if that happens. I just can't bear the thought of these plants not finishing well, it would be such a shame. Might just have to try to find the money to get that shed sorted with an HPS etc. But it will definitely be a last resort. First I don't have the money, but more importantly I really wanted to see could I do this outdoors. Problem with Cinammon is they take 11 weeks to finish from flowering at the best of times, so even if they start flowering mid July that takes me to mid October. I'm simply not going to get enough sun towards the end to really get the best from these girls (just being realistic). So I'm head scratching at the moment. Any (cheap LOL) ideas welcome

Hi bobtokes, thanks for dropping in and even more thanks for the reassurance. I shouldn't worry so much LOL. But first time I suppose I don't have a clue what to expect. Plenty of time to worry later if it comes to it. They do seem to be doing well so I should just enjoy them as they are and stop complaiining

Hi all,
Well, have been lucky so far and I suppose it was time for a serious problem to raise it's head, so here it is LOL. Yesterday morning I woke up to discover a gale blowing ouside and on going to check on my plants discovered that two of them (including the tall one) were at about 30 degrees to the horizontal. The stems hadn't snapped, or even buckled, the force of the wind having just "blown them over". On getting them out of the wind and straightening them up, firming soil down again etc they looked OK, but I decided to get some bamboo canes and tie up all four plants. They looked great so thought that was that.
However on checking them this morning I discovered that the tall plant has some issues going on. There are brown/white scars between the veins on several of the larger leaves, some of which have dried to the point where they have shredded right through the leaf (see second pic).
And several of the tips of both small and large leaves have shrivelled up and in some cases just disappeared. Also the perimeters of some of the leaves have darkened and feel crispy to the touch.
I'm thinking phosphorus mainly, but I think there's more to it than that. I've also noticed the growing tips of all four plants are looking very tight, yellow and "curly". The newly sprouting leaves are all bunched up, thin and "deformed" looking. In this pic you can see the tips of the newly sprouting leaves of one plant are actually black and shriveled (see inside circles).
Also the very lowest leaves are clearly yellowing, although they have been like this for ages and it's not moving up the plant.
This might also be relevant by the way - it's been raining here at some point every day for a while and the soil is never getting a chance to dry out. Because of the wind the leaves haven't been showing any signs of droop as such, but this morning when I discovered the damage the leaves had closed in so all the leaves of each fan were sort of stacked one on top of the other. The damage appeared to have been where the leaf above was resting on the damaged portion in each case. This doesn't explain why the tips of the smaller leaves are crisping up though. But could it be some sort of rot brought on by the fact the plants are always wet?
What's throwing me here is why this all appears to have happened so suddenly. Is it just time I started to feed? I have 24-8-16 (is this a bit too low on the phosphorus?) and have bought some Epsom salts today as well, so was wondering what you guys think.
Grateful as always for any comments and advice - thanks all

Hi UK, thanks for that. You know I think you're right, at least some of the damage could well be wind burn. The wind was really strong for about 24 hours and the sun was in full swing part of that time. Then they got wet and dried really fast so perhaps a combination of all that. Strange only one plant got it though.
Anyway no further damage this morning - seems to have been another one off. I'll hold back on the nutes for another while, if for no other reason that I want that soil to dry out for once. When they're thirsty I'll give them Epsom salts and Molasses and see how they go.

Yeah man could be the combination of strong sun and strong wind! Hopefully it will clear up! This is probably my last chance to check back on the girls so good luck for the next three weeks! Hope the weather is spot on for them! Cya bruv
