Nice plant brotherhopper. I’ve seen the nightly coverup before. Looks like a lot of work but great idea. I think if I had waited a few more weeks to put them out I would have not had the problem. I think next year I will plan to put them out on the longest day. I tried to match my indoor light cycle when I put them out as well as hardening them off by taking them in and out everyday getting them use to the sun and wind and leaving them outside totally for two weeks prior to transplanting them in their final pots. We’ve had some really unusual weather both cold and extremely hot here too which may have helped also. i know a lot of folks that are trying their hand at growing this year mostly outside. Several of them have told me that they have buds already like it’s a good thing. (I do admit it was kinda nice getting a preview of those smelly buds and even got excited a little when they started stacking so nice some are an inch in diameter already.). They have even less experience than me growing and many of their plants are very sad looking but I still show hope for them and try to help when I can But all the gardens I’ve seen in my area in peoples back yard most had plants in flower. Some tiny little things too like dwarf plants. My plants are over my head now and two plants just started bloom before revegging. Unfortunately I’m not expecting my outdoor plants especially this one to do anything but be a knarly mess at the end but I needed the experience and fortunately have a backup flower tent and plenty of stash to enjoy the jungle ride.
