The journal name should be titled--- "I Am a Lazy Pothead who Procrastinated until my Outdoor Pot Plants were in Late to Mid Flower to Start my Journal".
This year I have five outdoor girls. Four plants located in an abandoned cat cage and one girl located out in an old ancient hog lot---back in the day people bred and even farrowed piglets outside--where an old wooden hog box set for decades. The abandoned cat cage is pretty awesome, but the location(s) are about 80 miles away.
I have done a shitty job of tracking my strains; positive that I have at least one Expert Haze girl, pretty sure I have at least one girl that is Crop King Crown Royale, probably a Nichole Kush, possibly a Tropicana Cookies, and possibly another strain. Between looking at the plants, seed records, and genetics the proper strain identification can be obtained.
Popped my girls between late January and mid March. One plant was up potted up to a five gallon, three up potted to threes gallons, and one transplanted from a 20 oz. cup.
Soil medium homemade super soil and one plant in Sohum Super Soil---additionally river gravel, pea gravel, standard gravel, and cedar mulch were used at the base and tops of holes. One of my plants has my dead dog underneath it. I manually dug holes with hand tools between 25 to 60 gallons.
Fed my growth nutrients once or twice after transplant depending upon when the girls were transplanted (June 2nd to June 20th). The only other supplement has been a sugar based product.
My basic goal of the journal is to document the final stages of my outdoor plants and hopefully get help from better cultivators than me on how to finish the plants all the way up to a finished flower. Hopefully provide some entertainment.
This is Fern Cave, because there are ferns on top and sorta around the cave. The only thing this has to do with the grow is that Fern Cave and my Cat Cage are located in the same state. Fern cave is located one mile north of the Ohio River in one of my small forests located near Pomeroy, the county seat of Meigs County. Cloudy white water steadily flows into a small creek at the base of the hill where the forest sets. The cloudy water is a result of coal mining completed by folks that are now ironically in the early stages of becoming coal.
During my sabbatical from reality a few years ago I acquired this property hoping to grow weed on top of the hill, thus launching/making Meigs County the Napa Valley of weed (mania is fucked up). Fortunately for me timber prices are now near an all time high, so now my timber would pay for the property. There are three caves on the property and for some reason that is cool.

This is my best tree (the tree with the big canopy) a hundred plus old year red oak located about five minutes hard walk from Fern Cave. Trees can teach us a lot about how to grow weed.

A couple pictures of the hog lot where one of my girls is located.
The cover is very diverse with several ecosystems in the immediate area.
Quite often I get lost looking for my girl.

The first picture is of a really cool looking willow species and the second pictures does a great job of demonstrating how my girl naturally blends into her rural environment (using the same willow species).
Finally my girl Sunny Stems, you may notice how she is in a hole. She isn't a giant or naturally impressive outdoor plant, but I am proud of her. She was planted on June 25th and lived about 2 1/2 months in a 20 oz. pot. This was my smallest hole. Didn't dig too deep, because I was concerned about too much water from the big low place in the ground. This resulted in her enduring some heavy heat stress in veg. The last photo shows her base stems. Based upon my research is from sun exposure.
Finally a fuzzy picture of the Cathouse; I will introduce these girls later. Sleep time.
