My grow 2nd week flower advice? opinions?

Hey RIU

So here it is my 3rd grow outdoors but i consider this my 1st The first 2 wasnt much 3 to 5 plants in the field behind my house and i used no nutes or soil just some reg bagseed a small shovel and a watering can but hey they grew so here i am with BIG dreams

so as a few may remember i posted here around march asking ideas on protection and how to hide my babys from the eye in the sky just to get a few more ideas HEY anything helps right? well as i promised im back unfortunately i had some personal issues come up and wasnt able to start my crop on time :( i didnt get my babys in the ground till mid june and they were only about 3 to 4 inches tall ah well could have been alot worse

ok enough rambling and lets get to the real reason im here 1st. i would like anybodys advice and or opinions on how my grow is going and 2nd. im going to be uploading pictures of what can be achieved with GreenLight SuperBloom because upon my research(mainly of RIU community) I've seen so many people say DONT use this an that MG and SB are terrible and so on and so on but nobody acually has any pics of their flowers using superbloom they just jump to no good and i understand why but if you are like me you dont have many resources and cant order this or that and whats available is what is at the store so maybe this will help out another beginning grower like mysself

Details:
Seed: Bagseed (the guy said it was "sour diesel" but in reality its probobly not but decent genetics)
Ratios: 85 Seeds germinated and 80 Sprouted(was very pleased with this) out of 80 Babies i had 53 Ladies (also happy with this)
Soil: Pro-mix Bx Mycorrizhae proffessional growing medium in 3.8 Cu Ft bundles
Nutes: Chicken shit and greenlight superbloom
Direct Sun: average per plant is about 8 hours a day
Other: there is no other... no i didnt keep an eye on ph levels or anything fancy and no i havnt used a bit of bug killer i was blessed with a area full of wolf spiders yea no joke i literally see them everywhere

Procedure/Routine:
Started: in styrofoam cups till about 4 inches tall
Planted: every plant has its own hole that i dug about 1.5 feet deep and about a 1.5 feet across i then filled them with 1 shovel Scoop of chicken shit and pro-mix(mixed in hole)
Water: I Dont have to water them unless its a drought(no droughts yet :D)
Nutes:for veg i used chicken shit and for flowering i am using GeenLight SuperBloom from home depot and my nute pattern is as followed on container instructions 1 Tablespoon per gallon every plant gets about half a gallon and i nute every 13 days
observance: i check on my Ladies roughly twice a week (only had 1 nute treatment so far so we will see what is to come also the treatment was done 10 days ago from time of pics)

Pictures from left to right: 1st my biggest lady standing right at 6FT 2nd-4th: are pics of my flowers about to start halfway through second week(started counting weeks when more then 2 pistils visible on top) 5th: my smallest lady standing at 3ft( shes is definitley a runt everything eles is around 4 to 5 FT 5th: is part of 1 of my patches and a game for the great RIU community which is..... in the last pic there are 9 plants visible some not fully but at least half the plant so can you find all 9?

on a side note my plants have been fighting downpours for the last 4 days :( with no end in sight since the weather man is saying 40% chance rain for the next week so for now i have to go shake the standing water off them i fear the infamous bud rot though we have never crossed paths

so let me know what you think and ill try to post weekly pics of how the babies are taking to the SB also i see no known problems with my plants if you see one point it out for me

Thanks RIU community for any help
 
Sorry for blurry pics :( I dont have a HD cam i have a pre paid flip phone cam


oh yea can anybody give me a yield estimate for my biggest lady(the first pic) and no i didnt top becaus i didnt think i would have time looking back on it now i would have been topping

they look like they have a good start I'd bump up the strength or your bloom stuff if your only feeding once every 2 weeks
i think the arachnid plant guards are cool and i'm sorry to here about all that rain :(
 
yea i may start giving them a gallon of water each and then a little more as time goes i dont wanna burn so i may experiment on diff plants to see what they can handle

thanks for your input and yea i love my guards as well i usaully stomp on spiders when i see them but not these guys

I would have thought that the rain might have a flushing effect so I'd be tempted to feed at full strength weekly.
