This week was pretty crazy. The power went out for more than 24 hours and the ladies had to spend some time outside. Surprisingly they handled it very well. With the environment being vastly different I was really concerned. The temperatures outside were pretty low around 55°F and even lower at night in the upper 30s, also the light timing is different and it rained cold... What's worse is I let the ladies sit in their tent in darkness before hand for a few hours because I waited until the power came back and then it was night time. So essentially the ladies spent quite a bit of time in darkness. I don't think it was enough to initiate flowering but it is sure to cause some stress. Who knows, maybe it'll be a good thing. Not for one plant though, Plant 3's top split where I had the wire tie. Being so cold and the tie being too tight it made it extremely fragile. So we have a complete separation of the top. I reacted quickly and used super glue tape to create a sort of tight wrap. I braced it as best I could and will have to wait and see if it reconnects. If not then the worse case is it may act as just another topping but that is a lot of stress for one plant. I will have to pay extra attention looking out for pests. Outside exposure can always bring risk of pests. My environment is more clean and protected, outside is not. I do not like to use pesticides of any kind if I don't have to.
