Deprivation outdoor

Hello it is my first grow and I have a question. I trigered flowering outdoor by covering my crop every day with a white/black plastic. I did this because first freeze may happen at the end of september here and I wanted To Be safe. The problem is that it has been for a month now and I begin to have enough of setting it up. Daytime is about13.5 hours now. Can I stop cover them now ? Will they reveg if I do? Also I know it was probably a way too ambitious for a first grow but too late for regrets. I have 3 green cracks 2 white widows and 1 blueberry. 20180816_173246.jpg 20180824_143546.jpg 20180824_143647.jpg Here are some pics. Tanks for answers

Guessing you were covering for 12/12? I don't think they'll reveg at 10.5 hours of darkness. Are you checking and/or treating for mites? That lower-right leaf in the second pic looks a little suspect.

Nice job, man. Those look very nice for a first-timer.

you have aphids. go to amazon and buy some ladybugs or green lacewing eggs/larvae.

Don't panic, I've been battling aphids all summer and I can only access 1 side of my plants, the plants are small but it's still a pain. The most successful method i have found so far is picking them off with tweezers. If there are too many to tweeze off then hit gently with the garden hose.

The trick with aphids is to do your aphid picking rounds an hour after the sun hits the plants, this is when the aphids wake up and start to climb the stalks and move upward/shit out babies. After checking for the migrating ahpids, you need to grab each bud stem and gently twist the bud so that you can see the bottom of all the internode leaves. Aphids love to lay their young all over the underside of leaves. The adult aphids also like to nestle in the intersection of a leaf and it's stem. The ribs of the leaf create 5 little hiding spots. The female adults like to lay eggs all over the leaf underside and then hide out in these spots.

Buds are getting bigger too,keeping them covered at night now might cause some serious mold problems

Do you have clear plastic cover for rainy days?

Ive spent the last month 1.5 hrs every morning looking for and removing 10-20 of the tiny ass aphids off my 5 plants. Seems the most important method with aphids is catch them early and turn over every leaf and remove every aohid you see, followed by daily checks. This way as the buds grow you can prevent them from burrowing in deep.

Good luck OP, I really hope it was just the odd aphid.

Habe to say BRO YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT FOR YOUR 1ST . 5 plants easily enough smoke for a household /mooch neighbour or 2 .
I imagine you are treating them well and the bug news is now eating you up hopefully u can get ladybugs overnighted. .

Almost home free definitely grab some clear plastic if you can unless you want to leaf blow them dry after it rains . Get your harvest spot/dry room ready soon

Are you done with feeding?

Thank you for your words! I had nonetheless some troubles during this grow including some rogue pollen polinating some pistills, and there will be some seeds in a couple of buds:sad:. I bet some gardener near me did not took care of his males or a hemp field somewhere got to my crop. Anyway I don't think I will do the plastic thing for rainy days. I plan to harvest 2 or 3 plants in a few weeks and the weather seems to be favorable till that. When a rain fall is over, I go and shake of all stems to make the excess water fall to ground.
Feeding is over.
