First time outdoor grow

Starting to harden the girls off as they’ve been veggining indoors for almost 2 months.

Starting to get a bit nervous lol, i think this is going to be more work than i expected but oh well, will be a fun learning experience.

5x are going into 15gal pots, 2x are going straight into the ground. And im going to keep 2x indoors incase i royally screw up something 😅

At this point i just need to go to the compost yard and buy some potting mix and we should be good to go by June 1st

I think i gotta get some neem oil too from what ive been reading on here!

Day 45 - how we looking?

They got another 2 weeks before going outdoors.

9x plants in 2x4 tent, all in 3gal pots - fan on max and same with exhaust fan. Ordered another tent fan that should arrive soon.

Humidity is getting quite hard to control and keeps shooting up to 70%ish. Just hooked up dehumidifier in lung room, hopefully that’ll help some.

Getting fed 1.5l every other day and some light feeding every other watering as well.

I think im done lst and topping till they go outside bc theres no more space at this point.

Only 3rd grow so far so not too sure if theres anything i should be doing different. We ll see how it goes i guess 💁‍♂️

Also ordered 15gal pots and gonna go source some nice local compost this weekend. Continuing outdoor hardening when i can.

I know this questions will vary quite a bit but im trying to decide how big of pots I will go up to.

It now seems my biggest limiting factor will be water consumption. As i’ve read big plants can get up to 15 gal per day (way more than i expected).

I was planning on doing 25gal pots with potentially a few 50 gal pots. Looking to yield approximately 1lb per plant.

In your experience how much are you watering?
More watering during hot summer months or during late flower?
Does adding straw / mulch over soil limit water evaporation?

For reference im in NY state so summers wont be crazy hot and will get occasional rain.

Thanks in advance

How are we looking?
Did my first topping and first transplants on these laddies, i think it went well!
Im keeping the tall gal untopped as I wanna see how tall she can get outdoors.

Theyre now in 3gal pota with FFoF soil, no nutes yet.
Just bought some of those lst clips.

Does anybody have experience or any tips on the strains below?

Maui Pine - Dirty Bird
Pineapple Chunk - Barney Farm
Critical Kush - Barney Farm
Green Mountain Grape - GMS

They will all do 2 months indoor veg, then outdoors into 25, 50 and possibly 100gal pots. NY state growing so my primary focus was high mold / pest resistance and early finishers.

I also have a few Acid Snow autos by Speedrun seeds that ill throw outside come June.

Thanks growmies 🤙🤙
