New clone outdoor grow

[KatoRica]

End of week 8. Based on these pics how much longer should I wait to flush and pull? I don't want to miss the final hormone blast. The first pic shows the caterpillar damage.

Bullryder







The Trainwreck in the back is now over 4' tall and has a ways to go.

Thanks for the help,
The smaller Skywalker is only 18" tall but very thick. The other one with the yellow leaves is almost 30". They are OG crossed w/ Blueberry, Can't wait to try it....
The Train wreck is only about 4 1/2 weeks in. So I plan to give it 4 to 5 more weeks. The Silver Pearl is at week 6 and needs a few more.

Again Thanks for the quick reply!

What do you feed your girls the week before you flush?

My (unknown strain) Sativa, has produced, single bladed leaves it's entire life, so I don't think it's an indication of flowering stage, I could be wrong, in fact, I pray I'm right, because my girl, is no where near ready yet. lol

I had some Haze strains that did that. They had big smooth leaves like a Eucalipitus Tree. I let them go and they will finish over 5 ft tall out of 2 gal pots. I would have transplanted them into good soil in 7 gal pots had I known.

I had to pick a few a little early due to a heavy caterpillar infestation. It sucked around 30% out of one of my best girls. Those little buggers suck. Thestroyed almost every bud on my Grape Fruit haze plants and the were looking good. That will cost me 2 to 3 ozers. I pulled acout an oz of dried out caterpillar bud and threw it away. I filled a large mason jar with some simi trimmed bud so I'll end up with around 2 1/2 oz off the 1st Bullryder. I got around a oz off the burned nute locked Silver pearl. It came out a little airy but it's very strong and very skunky. I still have my two Skywalker strais going. They are in week 11 and are still sprouting out fresh white hairs and the tris are still clear. My Trainwreck still has a few more weeks and looks good.
Here's a few updated pics....

Almost dry just before I put them into jars.

My last Pics before I pull the Skywalker and Bullryder. 10 days from the Train Wreck. My Silver pearl came out very grapy and very strong. Cant wait to try the Skywalker it smells outa this world.

Thanks dude,
I had about everything that could be thrown at me on this one. If I could have found a way to prevent the caterpillars entirely before they started I would have had 30% + more at finish. I know now when I build a better greenhouse to line the pots with cardboard to prevent root cooking and to get the azmax started and used every three days during early flower. We will have to wait and see how my othr journal pans out for my late season grow. Now I have to deal with the cold instead of heat.

Last pics before the last plants to harvest. Now the new guest will have more room....

Well out of 11 plants I ended up I ended up with 8, two of those were dwarefed due to stress. After all was said & don I ended up with close to 7 oz's. Not very good for outdoor but I learned alot. My goal is to average 2-3 oz per plant on the off season grows and 1lb during the summer grow. I have recently moved my indoor veged plants to this small greenhouse so wish me luck and I hope I don't have so many issues this time around.
