East coast Canada outdoor sativas

[SpinDog]

My three outdoor girls, not sure what type of sativas they are as seeds are hand me downs from some good ole boys, but they are all a couple weeks into flower and hoping they fully finish being outside with our short season.
They sure do make that bathtub small, and in the second pic that is half of blue 50 gallon plastic barrel. The plant is in the other half.
Plants are in our farms soil from our old shit pile
And only watered, I did give them all a shot of pk at start of bloom but that’s it.

Looking good! I was thinking about using a 100-gallon stock tank for an indoor grow...that bathtub works well!

Good luck getting them finished in time...I am @ 44N but also in a GH...staring to get night temps around 55F (13C).

Wow, look great. Bathtub is good idea, does it drain well enough or did you have to drill more holes in it? I'm worried about finishing too - I'm @ 46N - perils of Northern Ontario

I’m looking at going with 20 gallon trash cans for the deck next year, but seems most are of the thought that roots like to spread far a wide more so than deep, but I’m thinking most over think it, I like to try as many different things as possible for myself especially when the some things are controversial ie, flowering with mh instead of hps, so I two small areas with a 1000w MH in one and 1000w HPS in the other for my indoor and will be running SOG under both setups with clones from same mom so will see for myself

Bathub drain alone seems to drain fine as the tub is slightly angled.
They are calling for above average temps for sept here, so hoping that will help.

fingers crossed re temps. mine are just pre-flowering. Did you start inside then move outside?

the two in tub were put out first week of june as seedlings and the other one in half barrel was vegged indoors from middle of may till end of june put outside, it is further ahead of the other two in flowering as well.

Thanks SpinDog, that explains, mine didn't go out until towards the end of June as seedlings as we were away. Will have to start earlier next spring. Will be easier since I won't have to hide them.

You bet, the earlier they are out the better, i know some guys here went outside late may and lost crops to frost it’s was touch and go with frost into the first week of June here too!
And while I like training plants makes for lots of tops and flatter canopy
it will be nice to leave them alone and grow in all their glory
Here is one of my deck plants, lol trying to keep it under rail, I will finish this one indoors as I have another on deck to see how it finishes outside compared to the one I bring in.

It looks like a bonsai - lol.

Here is my other deck plant, as you can see I have a thing for symmetry even at the expense of plant stress, I do most all training while in veg, but with this one I chopped the very tips of the flowers on very end of main branches two weeks into flower to try out back building the buds to see if they actually do grow in thicker, I know the budsites below the chopped tops having been expanding daily now

Yup and if I clip fake plastic flowers to it, it looks like a perennial flower in bloom from above

Hahaha - only in Canada you say!
