word dude thanks for the info, currently my grow is in State of Emergency.

today my, for lack of a better word, partner, decided they cant endanger themselves by me growing there, which i guess is understandable, but not when they want to continue their grow while kicking me out...straight up assholes...but anywho i moved them outside tonight and kept them in there same buckets no more pics at this time nothing really worth showing. I also had to leave my mother behind at the house because i had no way of getting her out discreetly...another bummer to this upsetting day...*sigh*

for the moment yes, i have retrieved all my plants now and they are happily enjoying the rain right now.

pretty much just gonna keep em outdoors till i can move em to a more permanent spot ATM all the plants are still in the 1 gallon buckets still, cept for the mama shes chilln in a 5g bucket

Well be careful that they don't get too much water. You can do plastic bags around the base of the plant (Just above the soil) and it should keep some of the heavy downfall out. They wont get drowned.

good point, thanks man ill make sure to take care of that tonight ive also been hearing snow is coming again sometime this weekend...working on a better local now

Snow + Weed plants = Disaster Good luck on ya bud

i dont see how one light snow would kill off a couple month old plants so im not that worried, or should i be?

I went out today to check on them they all seemd to be fine, a little dry but its been raining alot lately so they should be fine, i took the smallest of the plants and brought it to a different location and planted it straight into the ground, the plant was a mere 8-9inchs tall so will see what happens.

Well if I went by the same principal regarding tomatoes in the snow then I would bring them in if you could... I lost an entire crop of tomatoes to not covering them with a temp dome.

damn dude..well ill see what i can do but from the looks of it they might have to bare it, the plants are mostly covered but will see i guess

Best of luck bud.

thanks man, ill keep it posted.

Can always count on you

the snow hit...so far about a half inch has accumulated on the ground and branches, its wet heavy snow, i took the mother and shook all the snow off and moved her to a more shelterd area and propped her up using branches of a cedar tree...its looking grim though...

Man I wish you took them inside. Hope things turn out for you man

i have no where to put them, curse of a small town...all the snow stoppd after i had been up there for the day so thats good to hear.

I honestly hope your grow gets better soon bud as me and a few others would love to see those babies in flower. Keep it up man and keep giving them attention until they're better.

Well the temps are back into the 60's today and im hopn they stay that way. the plant is bending slightly at the top, (sorry no pics for now) nothing a little sunlight and time wont cure. otherwiseing looking up. i havent checked on the 5 other plants i stashed in the woods in a few days so if there still alive id be excited but i wont know tell later tonight or possibly tomrrow, ill keep ya posted dood im determined to not give up on this, to much time money and effort already invested.

It does take a lot to get an efficient garden going to where you get a healthy harvest. Hope things are getting better bro.

Gota bunch of pics the other day... Bad news with the mother, she did not make it as you can see in the pictures, it looks to me like something attacked it, holes penetrated the sides of the bucket the plants main stem was snapped, shes now deserted i dont wanna risk being caught on trail cams. But otherwise the other plants are looking very promising, the plants seem to me like they got topped off idk how, but i guess will just grow em out how they are, one of the plants i dont believe was an outdoors strain also another that didnt make it. But other good news the small plant that i transplanted into the ground is doing awsome, a little shook up but for sure a trooper, the plant in the 2.5g bucket is looking to be the most promising at the moment. Currently on the search now for males. idk when the plants should start flowering when growing outdoors, any help on that would be much appreciated. Some of the pics of the plant that is in the ground arent showing up for some reason, ill try again later, possibly when i get more pics.

btw Temps in the 70's lately!!!!

If they aren't auto flower strains then when you have 13 hours of light or less they will flower out some until they have more light then attempt the transition back to veg.
