Outdoor 420'z Forevercrazy OD Growtrain

Hey kudo's they are alive. So many variables in outdoor growing (in my opinion) and the season is looooong. :d5:

plot twist -> i've got 5 photoz, and come harvest time, i should be able to trim all of em in a single afternoon, no prob :woohoo1: :rofl: ppp
 
Well they look exactly like my outdoor garden. I have a theory on what's happened this year. All the wildfire smoke changed the color of the atmosphere. Not only blocking the sunlight from reaching the ground but altering the spectrum. If you noticed a lot of red sky evening sun sets I think the smoke filtered all the blue out and the plants felt more red, hence earlier flowering and fruiting on everything we grew but short plants.

If they only get long red spectrum, which would be similar to late fall low angle sun, they stayed short but the photoperiod was long so no flowering yet.

I think the soil was probably fine. Just an idea.

mmmm....well, that'z a viable enuff theory i suppoze....buuuut, we haven't had any of the smoke here....in contrast, it was nothin but clear, sunny & fuckin HOT durin both june & july, so....:rofl: :shrug: and needless to say, that wouldn't account for the issuez inside as well :nono: nope, i'm convinced it'z gotta be a soil thing....this is the third year i've reuzed it, and even tho i've reamended each time, the microbial life itself may well have died off, so....jus a theory, but that'z my story & i'm stickin to it! :shooty: :rofl: either way it goez, the growtrain rollz on undaunted, choo-fuckin-choo! :headbang: ppp

 
I think you hit the nail on the head , I would also say it is the soil , Do you feed the soil that you are not using . I do mine , with molasses and Humic acid , but I do top it up with what I have taken out , I have 400 ltr at any one time . :thumbsup:

I had a couple years of outdoor growing in wildfire smoke. All it did was cause them to flip a bit early. I literally had ash falling on plants one year, so i had to put the rain tarp up early. Had great results even with the smoke. :smokeit:

Bad soil is my hunch. :shrug:

Well, real experience certainly beats my speculation. I think you and Hecno are correct.
