Potential problems for 2nd outdoor grow

[Hooprules]

Last year, I did my first outdoor grow with good not great results. My problem is not enough direct sunlight. Last year just prior to harvest I had to deal with white powdery mildew and some small spots of bud rot.

This years attempt started indoor and moved to outdoors the end of may. These plants are 10ft to 12ft tall and have been tied and hand bent to try and keep contained in my fence area to protect from sure to come storms.

Is there anything else I can do with the lack of direct sunlight? The sun is blocked by 60ft trees by 2pm everyday. They cant be moved and my garden cant be moved.

not to sound like a total smart ass (cuz I’m only a partial smart-ass)

yup see those containers- that’s proof your plants can be easily moved, 60 foot tress not so much.

only other possible solution I’m aware of would be to download new app that gives you admin level control over choosing the suns trajectory and planetary orbit.

all kidding aside - beautiful garden my friend…. they look like fire!!

Looking pretty good to me!
My outdoor plants get full sun from 7am to 2pm, then they go into shade So far no issues.

Shy of moving them what about some led flood lights for dull afternoons of just plain shade.
I put a @MedicGrow in my greenhouse for extra light.
Beautiful garden my friend.
Hope you are well.

Hi!

I grow in tents so unfortunately I personally have no advice other than if @GratefulBud says it works for him, it'll prolly work for you. They seem healthy, may just take a little longer to finish. Where are you? Concerned with harvesting coming into the colder months? Is that why you want to push them some?

What my friend Henry said, the pots can move although a tedious act. I assume the trees are just everywhere though?

And because I am just curious, what is all that and how many total are there??!!

Massachusetts.

Two Purple Kush in front, two Gorilla Bomb, and two unknown but from a reliable source. 6 plants in 20 gal fabric. (10 gal last try) Tied down forward and bent towards the middle. Happy Frog. Roots Organic. Trees everywhere blocking direct sunlight from after 2pm. My direct sun time is approx just over 6 hrs

They will still flower out fine.
It's just going to diminish final yield.
Maby quality too.
But that's enough sun to go through flower fine.

Well for 6 hours of light, they are groovy. How long have they been vegging?

The plants and the fence go together...

Did you ever consider a wagon , wheelbarrow or some kind of a cart? Maybe have a friend or 2 help load it into then you can move them into the best sunlight. Possibly do some training so they’re not so tall?

 

[StoneOtter]

Nice garden Hooprules!

Nice job on the plants.

Even with 6 hours of direct sun you should be able to pull off a good harvest.

Yep, once the fence gets in the way it gets harder to separate the growing tips and the buds from the wire. Especially so with the ones that were bent over; they seem to want to lock on to whatever is in their way.

I have a lot of shade as well in my backyard as well only enough room for 1 5 gal in the sunny area regardless they are both flowering well yields might not be the greatest but it’s still something. I hope your growing adventures go well my friend

 

[Hooprules]

So far so good. Big difference in the front flower and back. Fingers crossed for good weather
