More Sun Please

[BeerBong]

These are my outdoor girls this year. Left to right, Blue Mystic, Ace Silver Haze and 2 Strawberry Cough/LSD crosses. Man the sun has been lacking this year. Leaves looking a bit pale to you guys? Heavy rain and wind has been common, sunny days are but 2 or 3 days per week, with last week being our first blast of warm weather. Of course back to rain and wind today. Would a small greenhouse give them a boost?

They do look lighter then they should, but they aren't stretching like plants do when the light isn't right. They look ok to me. not perfect but nice.

What choices do you have? Do you have a light you can bring them in until your sun comes back in July? Is that when your sun comes back?

I don't think they're looking too bad. Maybe give them a little more N. Other than that, they don't look super lanky and stretched, so I'd just keep doing what you're doing for now. And hope for more sunny days. Green Mojo

I agree they look ok just give them some nitro

Girls are looking good now! I had some mealybugs, but I seem to have them under control. Anyone ever dealt with these things? I've just been cleaning the spots with alcohol, seems to have done the trick. The little one is a Jack Herer/Strawberry Cough cross that was super stretched that a buddy gave me. I topped her and am just going to let her ride. Half oz and I'll be happy, gives me a 4th strain at least.

Never grown either. ASH says a 70 day harvest, end of October. She is going through her flowering stretch as we speak. The LSD/Straw is a new strain this year, so we'll have to wait and see! She looks to be a pretty even sativa/indica cross (LSD is indica heavy, Strawberry is sativa heavy), calaxes and pistols are showing but haven't seen that flowering growth on them yet.

I didn't harvest my MOB's until almost November last year.

If all my girls are in flower, which I think they are now, I'm hoping for late Sept to have them all down. The LSD/Straws have more of a sativa look although not super long finger leaves and such. Just a little more spindly and thinner leaves than my Blue Mystic and ASH. I'm hoping they don't turn into a super long flower. Not a huge window here in Maine. I had to bring my ladies in at night to finish last year.

Paint that fence flat/matt white, to boost the light in this area, and catch all suns rays, or buy in an hps/Mh
