Plants are looking good! Definitely a bit of re vegetation in some of those flowers, but I think it looks as good as it could given the circumstances. The flower structures are still somewhat uniform. The plant will sort itself out by the end. Flower like this can produce good bud, it just may be a little more leafy at the end, and a lot more sugar leaves for the trim box to make hash or edibles with. I agree with PJ in that for the most part they will sort themselves out....
I think this growing season will teach a lot to you GF, you will have a lot more experience for next year. Just know that timing is very very important, for when you put your plants out, and how old they are when that happens. Although, it is heavily environmentally effected, strain has a big role too, not all plants, even though planted at the same time would go into flower (and then reveg), some just stay in veg the whole darn way through even though they're sexually mature. I like to plant early too, so when I plant my seeds in march I usually get handful of plants that want to flower, the ones that do I force flower and obtain my early harvest, the rest grow out to flower in fall.
The ultimate way to avoid re vegetation completely is to start planting your seeds outdoors in June. It's hard not to plant when the weathers good so that's the chance we take when planting early.
There are several options, and different growers have different ways of doing things. Some growers vegetate nice big plants and release them in February, which with the spring flowering lets them finish by June. Some of those plants may be prone to re vegetation.
It has been shown that plants planted in June do not have the chance to revegetate, and some have even seen higher yields, bigger, denser, and more potent buds than slightly re vegetated plants grown for 6-7 months.
So with some experience planting in your region, you should begin to understand what it takes to have the optimal/maximum outcome for your crops. This takes time, but if we make mother nature work for us the rewards are absolutely aesthetic and bountiful.
Keep us updated on the structure of the plants in question, sometimes the branching can get messy/cloggy, and reduce airflow. So sometimes with re vegetation, trimming/pruning becomes more necessary. I was thinking the hot weather you usually have would cause your limbs to stretch right through the screen. Apparently that hasn't happened yet, since you have colder weather and those stems are probably pretty woody already.
As growers, we prematurely accept it as a fact that we can always do a better job the next year, regardless of how good we do that current year. There is always something to improve on, so it is a joy to be experimenting as an outdoor grower with what strains work with that timing.
And then there are the bugs.......
... Certainly would not want it on a larger scale and would be scared to live in tornado alley.....
The ones that have hit in the last few years have been pretty narly......
Your flowers look pretty, I especially like the crystals. Your doing a great job and your journal flows nicely. It's an easy read. Thanks for having me over and I'll be back again if I haven't worn out my welcome. "Keep The Green Side Up"
Your plants look great. That cloud cover must be frustrating, but remember they are still getting more light than they would be inside with CLFs. I wish I had that vibrant green going on with mine, but the insanely low rH is not helping much...
