My Blackberry, Swiss Cheese, Jack Dawg, and Underdawg clones are finally starting to grow a lot, it took a lot longer to root than normal, but they made it through. I have also successfully sprouted three different strains from seed - the Blueberry x Santa Maria, Unknown x Colombia Punta Roja OR plain Unknown (the label flew away), and Unknown x NYCD x Sour Diesel.
Other seeds failed to germinate, might try for another round of germinations at some point again soon, but for now there is going to be plenty of veggies to occupy the space.
New round of storms predicted beginning this weekend, luckily my flowering ladies successfully dried out quickly after the previous storm (which was a much colder system that really drenched them), with a few solid days of regular spring conditions, they're loving it.
A Swiss Cheese plant will be first to harvest, probably pretty soon within 1-2 weeks, depending on the weather. An UD will be not long behind (those 2 were released 1-2 weeks before the others). One time I had the Swiss Cheese finish under only 40 days of flowering time, and believe it or not the buds were perfectly acceptable, it is after all, a fast flowering strain with flowering times predicted below 8 weeks.
Other than general storm maintenance, the plants are doing their own thing, they don't like to be bothered. Stinks and smells are really starting to emanate now, the Swiss Cheese (since crossed with the original Skunk #1) tends to compete with the JD and UD for skunkiness.
One thing about growing outdoors is, depending on the weather (humidity), it may be hard to wait for the perfect perfect harvest time without risking rot, but when the weather is dry, the buds can really put on a lot of weight at the end with little worry of rot. Thus, I typically hope for dry conditions in late flower, as you would expect.
Here are the day 40 Swiss Cheese flowers from the 2015 journal

Here's the Swiss Cheese just harvested a couple days ago (at day 40 of flower), pretty well developed
Interested to see those seed crosses for Spring. 
buddy!
